The BEATLES Appreciation Topic

No, I don't. But you can bet that Disney, who have poured millions into this project, is going to maximise their investments with a number of re-runs maybe for another 9-12 months. As mention before, A blu-ray ? DVD box set will follow but can't see that happening until late next year.

They better release this on Blu-Ray *and* a CD box set. I’d buy both, and so would many of the millions of Beatles fans out there. Surely Disney knows this, and will eventually release all of these variations.

I expect an audio CD box set ,along with a book, before the year is out. There was talk also the original 1970 movie by Apple corps would be remastered and released following the Jackson documentary but that seems to have gone quiet now. Jackson says that with his six hours that he has avoided duplication on any of the 1970 film and will only use alternate camera angles on whatever scenes/ performances he picked from the original. Based on that comment, it does stand to reason there will also be a blu-ray/ DVD available of the 'Let it Be' movie by Apple corp.

Here you go. Get Back (rehearsals) with Harrison singing lead on this one. Wonder if it will get a official release!

Please, excuse me for being a bit thick but what does that foreign phrase mean?

 

[Vince Evert]

Even the King sang "Get Back" but usually in a medley with his own song "Little Sister" and then only a handful of times in concert. Vid , filmed at one of Elvis' Las Vegas concerts in 1970, has amazingly yet to see a official release but the audio has done. Hope you enjoy this one!

Means "With Czech subtitles." How are you today? Big news announced two days ago for the hard core Beatles fans, but you have to know all about streaming providers , namely Disney Plus in order to view it.

Thank you very much for the information.

I'm o.k. Thank you very much for asking. How are you?

That's good news for those with the technical know-how who have time to spare. (I've been very busy recently. Not only have I gone back to work in the shop & archives at work & attending knitting & quilting sessions at work but since I did an online archiving course my Manager told me to do I've been sent on a "Working with under-12s" course & I've got lots of home-work to do for that too. I also got given some more research tasks & I had to put together a powerpoint for the equine history report which I'll have to present at work. I'm still practising for the Vera Lynn Tribute act for the event at work later on this year.) It takes me all my time to even watch the Disney family films like "Greyfriars Bobby" & "Old Yeller" or even "Saving Mr. Banks" which are brilliant films but I see myself as being too old to watch Disney.

I'm glad you're well. It's summer here & it's been too hot for me. My hay-fever has been playing me up.

That sounds good. I look forward to reading it. I could do with a good laugh. Thank you very much.

Yesterday (From "Blackpool Night Out", Colorized, 1965)​

Very nicely done.

 

[Vince Evert]

Dick Clark's American Bandstand (1967) - Reaction to The Beatles "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" then single/45rpm. "They look old", "Look like Grandfathers", etc says two fans! Certainly the change of look, image and sound was a far cry from their mop top, black suits and shorter basic songs of 1964 - 1966 period, AYE.

Wow, this is interesting — getting immediate feedback on their new look and sound. In retrospect, it all seems so tame, but I can see how at the time it would have been completely new and different.

The Beatles wrote a lot of great songs, several downright masterpieces, and this is one of the best. Preceding Sgt. Pepper, it changed pop music.

Yes it did, and the "Peppers" album, released June, 1967, gave birth to Psychedelic. Then there was new acts like The Doors, Cream, Jefferson Starship, Jimi Hendrix Experience etc that helped paved the way for Hard Rock. Quite a year 1967.

There is now on youtube a few American Bandstand shows. In context, would be cool to start up a thread with the shows from the May - August 1967 timeframe, that reflects the changes.

 

[Vince Evert]

Now with this month marking 54 years since the album Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band was released.


I am adding both the 1987 "It was Twenty Years Ago Today" UK made and the American "Making of Sgt Peppers album" 25th anniversary specials. I think the american was the better of the two as it strictly focuses on the making of the album whereas the UK product was covering more than just the album, such as the social times, what was happening with the youth culture, the world and various interviews with other groups and singers in that period.

The Beatles Rubber Soul and Revolver albums IN GLORIOUS MONO !!!

 

[Vince Evert]

Yes !! The two false starts that was included by mistake on the american "Rubber Soul" album when on release in 1965.
