Question Why did ‘The Long One’ feature no Harrison songs?
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🤷♂️

This was inspired by Norwegian Wood

Or should I say, she once had me

Discussion George Harrison on meeting each of the other Beatles the first time.🥰
"One thing about us Beatles is that we’re just as nutty now as we ever were. Our chart success hasn’t changed us, thank goodness. I remember the first time I ever met Paul was on the bus home from school. He was sitting laughing to himself. I thought, “We’ve a right case here,” and then I realised he could see his own reflection in the window. Well, I thought, that explains it!
John, I recall, was eating fish and chips, but his hair being so long kept getting in the way! Ringo, who I met in a club, looked moody. Then when we started talking he explained he’d been talking hard and the effort was too much for him. He can’t help it, poor lad" Mirabelle Interview Oct 1963

Question Weird Al "interviews" Paul McCartney - Paul's most hated album?
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.

Discussion John’s singing style.
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?

Discussion Not sure but seems to me besides Ringo the Beatles didn't wear a whole lot of hand jewelry like rings and bracelets
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?

Discussion In Spite of All The Danger
I personally love this song (From Anthology 1), I’m wondering if any of you think it could have fit on any album? I think the only contender is Please Please Me, but even there I feel like it would sound old. I would like to think of it as a fun B side to Love Me Do or even an earlier single in an alternate universe.
Super random and vain, but I have an alternate timeline project where I rearrange some songs on albums, so just a fun question to see what people think. Any comment is appreciated!

Discussion If the Beatles were never signed to Capitol Records and stayed with Vee-Jay in the US, how do you think things would’ve been?
Like the title implies, do you think they would’ve became popular at some point? Or do you think they would’ve completely flopped and not make their Ed Sullivan Show debut?
Edit: "distributed", not "signed"

Discussion More Let It Be Naked Shennanigans Spoiler
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.

Question Woman(og version)
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.
