The Beatles

I have this empty sleeve, apparently a rare pressing for US military base sales, but no record inside

Wouldn't mind finding a stereo Odeon press from anywhere to put inside, although maybe I should just sell the sleeve on eBay.

Recent find, had no idea what it was until I played it. Surprisingly clean copy of an early 1970 Beatles boot, The Silver Album of the Worlds Greatest, aka Silver Walrus. First Jarris press with small plain white labels.

I watched this on YouTube in poor quality and fell asleep - hoping this will be better

I tried to watch this once and also found it hard to get through. The Get Back docs were great. I’ll give this one a shot though. I’ve read so much about it over the years.

I’ve seen Let It Be but it’s been years. I remember finding it interesting.

I am of the very small minority (especially of Beatles nuts) that thought Get Back was an aimless meandering mess. So YMMV.

We agree on something…

Do you all think Beatles fans will be interested in the 3" Beatles records coming out on RSD tomorrow? They are limited in # but maybe not that popular aside from super diehard fans?

Yeah, Beatles stuff is usually pretty popular and between this, the George Harrison rotoscope records and the Ringo Starr releases my guess is Beatles collectors will be out in full force.

Bit of fun on this bank holiday weekend- just for @Joe Mac -

Same same, it was interesting, there were some great moments, but could have been much shorter with the same effect/impact. I think "die hards", which I consider myself to a point, were even loosing interest as it went on. I watched the whole thing, but I'd probably never watch it again outside of the rooftop concert.

Dude, universally, everyone was like it’s amazing.

I’m of the opinion that Peter Jackson needs a ballsy editor at this point. He can keep using his technology to clean things up, but I have very little interest in his films moving forward.

Oh, I get it, I think "we" are the minority for sure.

That said, ya, I think PJ gets a bit caught up in the process and the "ooooo, look what we can do". But I'm with you on the editor comment, it's one thing to just print every sec of what you have, another having the talent to pull out the meat and potatoes, along with interesting tidbits and be able to keep a viewers attention beginning to end.

This kind of spills over into the "Type" of Beatles fan you are I guess, I have a list, but it's in no way a list consisting of wanting every single pressing, variant and so on. Same with odds and ends, I have a couple Beatles things, but I don't have, or want, a shrine, lol.

a) I easily could have watched another 3 hours of Get Back

b) anyone else listening to this podcast? It's pretty great.

Of the two people I knew who liked it the most both were musicians who had been in bands that had talent and reasonable amounts of success, without ever being huge. I can imagine that it’d hit different for them.

For me it was just that bit too meandering.

I am happy to help Peter Jackson out with editing advice after my latest most complex iMovie 8 minute Beatles epic - I even acted in it - see above - my wife’s Yoko was pretty good!

I thought Get Back was great but I did have covid so maybe I was delirious
I am also struggling to get thru Mark Lewishoms Tune In - it’s so wrapped up in small details it’s a slog - I’m currently stuck in and endless loop of what Paul had for breakfast thru 1959
