I might get slapped by Beatles die hards, but Let It Be original for me. Phil Spector added a great layer of orchestra. I like big orchestras and it was a new take on the Beatles sound. Let It Be Naked is ok, but a bit flat sometimes. Macca isn't alway right ! Not watching any clip now, i'll wait until next week  |

Let It Be Naked is ok, but a bit flat sometimes. Macca isn't alway right ! Not watching any clip now, i'll wait until next week I'm not gonna slap you (at least not on this one  ). The production worked beautifully in its time and none of the other versions could have existed as they do if Spector hadn't helped to create such a bang-up album to inspire them in the first place. I think the new Giles Martin mixes are quite nice -- very clean and modern and they do actually sound fresh which surely isn't easy to do all these record spins later (and perhaps they also sound more inviting to younger ears used to current mixes) -- but I don't necessarily think they outshine the originals. That's a love that lasts. That said, it was a complete travesty that he booted "Don't Let Me Down" off the album ... |

I didn't listen to it more than twice, the previous mixes were already good enough. It's clearer, true, but there wasn't much to do in the cleaning department. They were already pretty clean. I sometimes go too far maybe, but that's passion innit  (or disappointment) . |

Gonna put this here not for the click-bait headline (he was at a premiere, after all) but for the nice Beatles comments.
Noel Gallagher ’embarrassed’ by Oasis-Beatles comparisons
ENTERTAINMENT
Gallagher was speaking at the premiere of a new documentary The Beatles: Get Back.
BY MIKE BEDIGAN, PA
Noel Gallagher has admitted he was embarrassed that his band Oasis were compared to the Beatles, because “we weren’t as good as them”.
Speaking at a premiere of new documentary The Beatles: Get Back, the musician said the world-famous band’s influence was “absolute”.
“I don’t know a single guy playing the guitar or writing songs that wouldn’t cite the Beatles as an influence.
“And if he doesn’t, he’s undoubtedly going to be shit.”
Asked if they remained an influence to him still, he replied: “Of course.
“When Oasis started, we were so big we were compared to them size-wise and musically, embarrassingly, compared to them as well.
“(It’s embarrassing) because we weren’t as good as them.
“They mean everything to me.”
He added: “They’ve definitely got the best tunes… hands down. In my record collection they’ve got the greatest tunes by far.”
Gallagher was joined at the premiere by a host of famous faces and musicians including Guy Pratt of Pink Floyd, Elbow’s Guy Garvey and actor Martin Freeman.

Get Back will be nearly 8 hours:
Part 1: 157 minutes.
Part 2: 173 minutes.
Part 3: 138 minutes.
For anyone interested in countries where Stephen Colbert airs, Peter Jackson will be on Wednesday.

Can't wait for Get Back.
I was thinking about Anthology yesterday because this release feels similar to me, and I was thinking about how good Free as a bird is.
It could've been a shit song, but somehow it feels like a Beatles song, it has that magic. Real Love is more like a failed attempt for me, because the Lennon demo felt already like a finished song and the contribution from the rest of the band was less prominent. But Free as a bird, I just love it.
If I remember correctly Noel chose it on one Q magazine (or maybe MOJO) as one of his favourites, I think he said something like "I'm choosing free as a bird because no one is gonna choose it and it's the bollocks".

I revisited the Anthology CD's recently, there's some great stuff on there and I don't return to that material nearly enough. Free As A Bird is indeed a tune, great video too. It's shame they didn't go ahead with a third new tune on the Anthology 3 set like they originally planned. George vetoed the idea apparently. |

They barely had a second song to use! Real Love was a weak offering because it had been already released by Lennon years prior. |

Ok ! Spoiler below click to see it Poor George, they dont care one bit when he talks or submit an idea  fantastic, fantastic. The Beatles at work, creating songs in front of us.  get back ! written as is in Twickenham, waiting for Lennon to arrive Ringo doesn't want to be there, Lennon is letting Paul go down alone, crazy, crazy footage. There is no fight, just wrong place, wrong time, tired of each other probably. And Paul wanting to move ahead a bit too fast. The pressure was on mainly because there was a small deadline |

You get a month free dude, register, watch, cancel. Easy. It's worth a watch, i'm 1h16 mins in and so far, there's nothing shown we didnt know about except it's more detailed and we see it all rather than read about it. We can actually see who does what, why they say things... etc a piece of HISTORY. Lennon especially, it's really unexpected. |

Crazy to see how much Paul was the driving force behind the Beatles. The other three are just are just following along with George trying to sneak in a few tunes. Just like it was described by Beatles historian. Still they were still good friends and it shows, but Paul was really taking a lot of space
Part 1 with George leaving, like that, out of the Blue. The other 3 can't believe and spend the afternoon doing non sense music. They really didn't care until they realized they did care. Poor George !

"We could do the show in the House of Parliament. When you're getting lifted up, you're still playing your instruments like, 'She came in through the bathroom window...!'" Oh Paul. One minute we hear hilarious discussions of where the band should perform (orphanages, House of Parliament, police balls) and it evolves into a profound discussion of the loss of Brian Epstein as the discussion of the performances slowly unravels. This is some great stuff.
Then it's back into the music and all is well again. |

The guy with the big black suit / glasses especially. They all pretend to like him. They made it work more than i thought in twickenham, despite the setting. They wrote or completed a lot of the record there. And either Lennon had found peace or was stoned, i dont know. Maybe a bit of both. He's really calm. Macca is volcano. Also Gimme Some Truth is credited on Lennon's records as just Lennon, but Macca wrote it too. What a cheater |

I love seeing how much the band jams after George leaves but I hate seeing fucking Yoko in there. That ruins the whole creative vibe going on between those three.

Paul was devastatingly handsome with that beard. And George’s hair is so enviable.
Anyway. I absolutely adored that first episode. It made me laugh, it made me sad, and on many occasions my jaw dropped with shock at what I was getting to see and hear. I can understand why Peter Jackson has been saying that, even after working on this for four years, his mind is still blown by the existence of some of this footage.
Incidentally, much credit must go to Peter’s technicians for developing the AI technology to de-mix the mono tapes of the Twickenham sessions, and then Giles Martin and his team for so expertly mixing the isolated tracks. The music is so bloody satisfying to listen to: you can clearly hear what everyone’s doing, nothing is drowned out; and yet they have retained a live, organic sound. I was frequently delighted by Ringo’s drums. This film should once and for all dispel the myth that Ringo was a freeloader, just lucky to be there. He was clearly a drummer of the highest order.

Yeah it shows how much Ringo was paying attention to the song being created to then create himself the perfect drum beat. George too, and even Lennon. All three were all ears when the chief (Paul) is talking. It's amazing to see that because it's even bigger than i thought. At least on this session, it was Paul leading and the others. But you can also see George being sick of it, Lennon... not so much. Was he playing a role because the cameras were there. ? I suspect that he stayed quiet because of that.
You can also witness four kids becoming men, growing out of their youth, that's probably what drove them appart too.

I noticed that too about them moving on from who they once were. Paul and John had a nice brotherly moment but otherwise you could tell they had moved on from being who they originally were and each took different approaches. George, especially, who was not having any of it. Ringo was Ringo and was enjoying himself but Paul and John are just distant enough to where they're not what they were before but they're able to keep it together, kind of like an old married couple whose better days are behind them but they love each other enough to stay together. Makes me think a reunion in the 1980s, like what things were headed toward, would've been really successful and fun.
Also, I noticed that the band was just at its width's end creatively and that they quit at the right time. I think if they had continued after 1970, even doing a couple more albums, their legendary status likely would not be as rock steady as it is now. |
