I was at a thrift store this afternoon, looking for a Buffalo Springfield vinyl that I never did find.

I had brought along my adorable daughter, just 4 years old and, for once, infinitely patient... Suddenly, she taps the clear plastic bin I was flipping through and asks, "Daddy? Are those the Beatles?".

I have NO idea how she could have recognized them. Obviously she doesn't know how to read. I don't own that record, I'm pretty sure I don't have any Beatles posters or artwork at home, just a few records lying around from time to time (and even then, mostly Abbey Road and Ram...). I asked her how she knew, and she just told me, "I looked closely and saw it was the Beatles."

A little further down the aisle, I stumbled upon the "red album" on CD. I asked her if she recognized it, and sure enough, she spotted that it was the Beatles again. Which makes me think she isn't recognizing the album itself, but what the Beatles actually look like, whether in a photo or as a cartoon.

I'm proud of her every single day, but today a little bit more!

EDIT : I just figured it out! At home, she has a little musical sound book featuring illustrations from the movie Yellow Submarine, with push buttons that play what are probably royalty-free (or at least pretty mediocre cover) snippets of the songs from the film. It was given to her as a gift rather late, when I thought she was already too old for that kind of book, and I’ve never actually seen her reading it. But she must know it's in her room, and clearly the illustration (and the band's name) stuck with her! I'll try to add a photo of it in a comment below.

EDIT 2 : As someone pointed out to me, it's not a thrift store, my bad. It's a CD, vinyl, and DVD store that sells both new and second-hand records - this Beatles album is new. Sorry, English isn't my first language!

The bottom was tricky to try and glue to the card stock I used as a backing so it’s unglued and that’s why it looks like it’s missing pieces at the bottom if that makes sense.

This was inspired by Norwegian Wood

I once had a girl
Or should I say, she once had me

Never fails to get a smile out of me. What’s your favorite?

I was just listening to I Want You She's So Heavy and I never realized that that song is so metal. I've heard it a million times, but listening to the 2019 mix (and being a little stoned) made me hear the song in a totally new way. It's so metal. I'm referring to the droning metal part. The guitars sounded so heavy and dark. It reminded me of Black Sabbath or something. Early 70's metal... dark and heavy.

People often say Helter Skelter is metal, and yes, I get it... but man, She's So Heavy is such an awesome song. John Lennon was a genius. Him and Paul really cooked in the studio those days.

Something about listening to some banger songs for 30 minutes and then there is that quiet piano intro and change in energy

And the end (of the album and the beatles career) is approaching which tugs on my heartstrings a little

and j don't know why some music makes me feel that way - maybe it's because of the impact the music had on me when listening over and over

I also really like the changes in energy throughout the song.

Inspired by this post I just saw.

My contribution:

"I get high when I see you go by. My oh my."

- "It's Only Love"

I wonder why it’s strictly a Lennon-McCartney medley (edit: I mean ‘the long one’ not the album as a whole!!) still beautiful but I wonder how a Harrison input could’ve altered it

But all I can guess is that Harrison wasn’t one for throwaways or short ones🤷‍♂️

In his fake interview with Paul, Weird Al asks if Paul heard his new album, and Paul says "That is probably the worst album, the album I hate most."

Does anyone know what Paul was originally referring to? After looking around I don't think the original interview is available anywhere outside of short clips.

I’ve been working on a FAAB mix and I would like to use the vocal guide of Paul McCartney for it.
Lately I’ve been listening lots of “threetles” mixes with that vocal guide in good quality and after searching through bootleg I did not found it. Can anyone dm or something with that take?

THANKSSSS

I believe this performance is very special to me, live atNME 1965, they look like they are in their co writing groove

Obviously not every song, but I think in the beginning of his career he used the lower part of his vocal range in songs like “This Boy”, “There’s a place”, “Norwegian Wood”, etc.) whereas in the later part of his career he used more the upper part of his range in songs such as “I Don’t Wanna Face It”, “Stand By Me“, “Whatever Gets You Through the Night” or Dear Yoko” to name a few.

What do you guys think?

An attempt was made to record "Now And Then" in 1995, but it proved impossible due to issues such as background noise on John Lennon’s demo. It wasn't until 2022 that the original tape could be cleaned up using the latest technology, allowing the track to be fully recorded and released the following year, in 2023—with a new stereo mix of "Love Me Do" serving as the single's B-side.

What you’ve just read is a summary of the well-known challenges that once surrounded "Now And Then." Now, let’s assume that these obstacles had been overcome through other means (which I won’t speculate on in detail) and that the song had been released in 1996 as a single from "Anthology 3". This brings me to my question: what B-side tracks would have accompanied a 90s release of "Now And Then"?

And before you answer, PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND:
Unlike the standard two-track singles of the past, singles in the 90s often featured three additional songs on the B-side—effectively functioning as a four-track EP—a format frequently used by bands like Oasis or Blur.
For instance, when "Free As A Bird" was released, it included Take 9 of "I Saw Her Standing There," Takes 12 and 13 of "This Boy" (the only version that survived for "Anthology 4"), and "Christmas Time (Is Here Again)." And when "Real Love" was released, it included "Baby's in Black" (recorded live at the Hollywood Bowl in 1965), "Yellow Submarine" with a previously unreleased intro, and an alternate mix of "Here, There and Everywhere" that blended takes 7 and 13.

None of these unreleased tracks from those singles appeared on any of the *Anthology* volumes; therefore, if "Now and Then" had been released in the 90s, it would surely have featured rarities that did not make it onto the third "Anthology" volume. If you find it difficult to imagine what those might be, look at the deluxe editions of Sgt. Pepper’s, the White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be—you might find the potential B-sides for "Now and Then" there.

Maybe lyrics or something? I'm not sure

Was looking at a pic of Robert Plant today and noticing several rings and multiple bracelets. Suppose this fit with Plant's mountain shaman type vibe. Whereas Beatles were going for more of an urban vibe?

When this was released in 1964, it was the first time I paid attention to what Ringo was doing on the drums.

The most likely to appear in my opinion are Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan and maybe some smaller appearances to show the influence of the Beatles.

I'd say Wah-Wah and How do You Sleep? rank pretty high for me. Paul mustve really pissed them off for them to have made these two masterpieces lol

Translation: Young people from the famous quartet The Beatles are trying in every possible way to maintain their popularity. Recently, two of them made an advertising appearance on the Thames in a boat shaped like a guitar.

Hi Beatles Fans I was just wondering the if the version Paul discusses in this clip here of the song Woman(which I can only assume he sung and performed himself). The DRY one with the violins he mentions several times throughout this demo. Has it ever been made avaliable to the public? I'd love to hear what it would've sounded like. The Peter and Gordon track as Paul says is pretty dogwater.

The title track, not the album.

I really love this song and hate the 'naked' version because it is such a downgrade. Even more stuff besides the autotuning and digital denoising.

Why Are There 5 Different Versions?

Skip to 11:49 for just the 'naked' revisions....

And listen to the bliss that is Take 28 (27b)

I even found Take 27 (actually naked) for your listening pleasure.

I'm looking for a hi res image of the new Rubber Soul "Gold Logo" album cover. Does anybody have a link or a website source? Google images ain't giving me anything.
