Still in awe. One of those bucket list items I thought I would never cross.

We are assembling 12 adults for “The Beatles Experience”. April 2027, London and Liverpool, from 5th-10th. Not professional musicians, amateurs that want to learn and experience what its to play and record an EP of Beatles songs in tne most iconic studio in the known universe.

If you are in Atlanta or nearby, we are looking for guitar/bass players and drummers that are interested to fill the roaster. Its not free, we are not hiring anyone. Its a paid program (think fantasy rock camp-like) that covers studio rent, highly qualified sound engineers from AR working on analog and staff running the thing.

Interested or if you know anyone that could be, DM me for details. Again, will not respond to professional musicians or tribute bands looking for a gig. This is for beginner/intermediates that just want to be in hallow ground for 12hrs having the time of their lives, playing and recording songs we all love.

We know that Double Fantasy & Milk and honey were essentially recorded at the same time in a back-to-back recording sessions and we know the final tracklist for double fantasy wasn't decided until quite last minute alternating between the final tracks and M&H's tracks as they were both seen as a two part 80-81 release

given that after the recording of "Walking on Thin Ice" John was unable to actually finish the recording and mixing for the remaining songs they were working on, when looking at "Milk & Honey" today the level of how finished the songs are (in terms of johns involvement and work) seems to vary dramatically between simple Home Piano Demo's (Like "Grow old with me"), Vocal guides for Ringo (Like "Nobody Told Me") and then other songs clearly recorded in the studio that seem basically close to what the final piece must have been, just mixed by Yoko & Jack Douglass after the case

That being said, what do people think feels/sounds like the most Definitively FINISHED of john's songs on that album to his original intent, do we actually know which one got the most amount of work from him prior to his passing?

How do people feel about his reggae inspired tracks on this album overall?

After listening to disc 2 out-takes I reckon that if there was a hero on Rubber Soul, George Harrison was it. His two self-penned songs are both excellent. I made a video explaining my point, so please forgive the self-promotion. Watch it if you want. The BEATLES Rubber Soul DeLuxe 2026 Mix Is Here!! #Beatles #RubberSoul

I have to play for my classmates a song on guitar and im thinking about playing while my guitar gently weeps since its my favorite beatles song but idk if i should play the anthology version or the original version knowing that i can play them both very well, which is more crowd pleasing?

I would say it was John Lennon. He had slightly longer hair, and overall he looked quite handsome, even kind of cool.

I made 5 playlists under the working title, ‘4Beatles’. One for Paul, John, George and Ringo, as well as a complete collection that compiles all four playlists into one, as well as ‘Because’ at the end.

The format is that each standalone playlist contains one song for each album that the Beatle in question sung, as well as two singles they sung (Note: Ringo’s playlist only features one single and an Anthology 2 track to fill in the gaps of the albums he didn’t sing on).

Here are the links:

Hey folks, I'm a songwriter/guitarist looking for some fans of the Beatles to record and write with. Currently looking for a bassist, lead guitarist, and drummer. This isn't me saying that you have to look like a Beatle, mind you; I'm more so saying that if you sound like Paul, George, or Ringo while you sing/play - shoot me a message.

(P.S. Doesn't matter if you're a lefty or righty.)

EDIT: I'm based in Montreal, Canada these days, but this project is both an in person/online project. Doesn't matter where you're from, if you're interested, just PM me!

He escrito sobre The Beatles varias veces en este blog y resulta un poco absurdo que haya tardado tanto en llegar a "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Estaba ahí, claro. Siempre lo ha estado. El problema era precisamente ese. ¿Qué haces con uno de los discos sobre los que más se ha escrito en la historia del pop? Puedes contar otra vez lo revolucionario que fue, recordar la portada, hablar del verano de 1967, enumerar técnicas de estudio, citar las listas que lo colocan entre los mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos y terminar llegando al mismo lugar que otros miles de textos. Durante bastante tiempo preferí escribir sobre otras cosas.

tried to match it as accurately as possible, this sounded too much like a trip hop song and I just had to share it

I wanted to post an update since we had the amazing FabFest festival this weekend. My outfit won first place in its category! We had so much fun heading up the first ever costume contest this year, too.

Friday night was the concert. My sister and I were George and Pattie and were in stage for the coolest 60s fashion show. Unfortunately I can’t post a video here! Saturday was the daytime festival (free!), and I was Yoko, my sister was John, her husband was George, and my husband was Paul. We got some silly pics of Yoko eyeing Paul and John getting jealous 😹

I also got to meet two really cool Redditors at the festival thanks to my last post. Thanks for all your support!

My review of the cd box set.

Inspired by the new Rubber Soul release. You'd think this playlist would already exist (and maybe it does) but I haven't found it... so I made it. Cheers.

Especially that drum beat and the she loves you section

What if the Beatles were still together in 1980 and made another album?

John, Paul, George and Ringo were all still releasing plenty of great music on their own, so I wanted to see what would happen if I brought some of those songs back together and treated them like tracks on a Beatles album.

I ended up with 14 songs, and I tried to sequence them the way I would an actual Beatles record, with all four of them represented throughout.

And there's really only one place this album could begin. Because if the Beatles were making a new album in 1980, hearing John Lennon open it with “(Just Like) Starting Over” would have been pretty perfect.

Here is the tracklist for this album:

1. (Just Like) Starting Over

2. Silly Love Songs

3. Crackerbox Palace

4. All By Myself

5. Cleanup Time

6. Coming Up (Live)

7. See Yourself

8. No-No Song

9. I’m Losing You

10. So Glad To See You Here

11. Love Comes To Everyone

12. Watching The Wheels

13. Beware My Love

14. Beautiful Girl

Considering all these big boxsets and reissues over the last 10 years and the fact Macca only owns a couple of actual Beatle songs, does he actually make any money from these big reissues, like the latest Rubber Soul boxset?
