I did enjoy Get Back, but it did drag on to be honest. If I heard Don't Let Me Down one more time I'd cry. Oh and Paul definitely was the odd one out imo. When he left the studio a few times the others seem to loosen up and enjoy themselves The highlight for me was hearing "Jealous Guy", it was called something else then though and had different words I agree with this, Paul seemed to be the taskmaster. Also I noticed a few times how when speaking to George he would focus on John, rather than George. Can understand why George felt so pissed off as it seems he was never truly valued as a songwriter by the others. That early version of Jealous Guy was called Child of Nature, although I think John also changed the words and called it On the Road to Marrakesh at one point. |

Really good stuff. Never dug the look or feel of the original Let It be doc. Jackson of course has the huge benefit of time and distance, but the beautiful part of what he’s done is to turn it on its head. He makes it a love story – a love story between people searching for a way to come together even as they’re each going down completely different personal paths. I think this summarises the project really well. I just finished watching it today. It’s definitely one for Beatle nerds. I can’t see everyone enjoying this. But it’s a tremendous and exciting project. Even after the 8 hours, I feel like I can’t wait to watch it again. The rooftop gig was perfect. |

Paul and his band did a great job at Glastonbury. I’m really pleased for him.

Paul and his band did a great job at Glastonbury. I’m really pleased for him. I loved it, so much so it was emotional watching it. If there's one man to unite the entire world, it's Paul McCartney. Especially in these times, seeing him performing those emotional and uplifting songs was the best tonic ever. Blown away by his genius, his songs wipe away that cynicism and bitterness and feel like they genuinely save your life. Not to be morbid either, but at 80 years old, he reminds me that he's not going to be around forever and we won't see so many of these moments again. The 'duet' with Lennon was emotional for that reason amongst others. At the very least, experiencing his magic today makes it a privilege to have seen a Beatle still do his magic, we can always say we saw a bit of Beatles history. |

I haven't heard anything about a Rubber Soul remix but surely it'll happen at some point (like I said though Revolver is by far my favourite Beatles record so I won't lie I'm glad it's getting a remix first) |

The Rutles were sending up this this kinda thing back in the 70's with "All You Need Is Cash"(George was self aware enough to actually appear along with them).I guess at this point it's beyond parody.

These remixes are the opposite of a cheap cash-grab and have done a great job keeping the memory of the Beatles relevant. Oasis' management could learn something, what with their new-colour-vinyl reissue of an album which fans have been crying out to be remixed for literally over two decades at this point.

Ok maybe not a cheap cash in-but I'm pretty sure making money outta this is high on the list of priorities.If not I look forward to seeing this reflected in the pricing...
Keeping The Beatles relevant is indeed a factor in this endless series of films,re-releases etc.Excuse me for suggesting that part of keeping The Beatles relevant is to continue to generate cash-and lots of it.
Though at the risk of contradicting myself theres nothing wrong in that.

I wonder if they will combine release Rubber Soul and Revolver. Harrison and Martin always thought of them as like a volume 1 and 2 type deal. Even Martin’s son has echoed that idea recently. We shall see.

Yea you did misconstrue.The Rutles song was suggesting that maybe cash was equally as important to the band than love.My comment was that this comercialisation of The Beatles is almost beyond parody with how many marketing campaigns that-if you were being cynical-you might regard as cash ins.Things like getting George Martins son to remix things etc.Im aware that Noel shamelesly lifted from a Rutles song for 'Whatever'.Frankly what he did was out of order by not giving Neil Innes credit from the get go and he should be a bit ashamed of himself. I like The Beatles as much as the next person(ok maybe not quite)-but they're not a sacred cow.Not everything they did was great-and they stole ideas too(or we're influenced by others).For example most belive they were pioneers of electronic music with Tommorow Never Knows and Revoloution Number Nine-but they themselves got this from avant garde German composers who had been pioneering this kinda music since the 1950's.They simply made it more commercial and brought it to the masses.And made something great in the case of TNK. But yea I think theyr flogging a dead horse remixing all these albums and songs.Kinda taking advantage of the enormous goodwill and nostalgia people have for them. But it's just one person's opinion-and maybe not that popular one. |

They'll probably work backwards from now on, certainly makes sense if they plan on other stereo remixes prior to 65. No tech buff about this but apparently more difficult, though not impossible, to remix the four track records (I think it's four, or maybe two...). |

But it's just one person's opinion-and maybe not that popular one. But nobody really believes that. Everyone knows McCartney was inspired by Stockhausen and all that, nobody said they were pioneers of that style. But they were pioneers in bringing avant garde into mainstream pop in such a seamless and natural way. In that sense, they reinvented what pop music could be. And they're certainly not ripping folk off with the remixes, you've obviously not listened to The Beatles enough to know how much they are much needed. The original stereo mixes are awful with horrendous panning that sounds lifeless through headphones and the mono mixes, while far superior, are not dynamic enough in this surround sound age. If there was one rip off it was the pointless 2009 remasters of the shite stereo mixes and the outdated mono mixes. Quite frankly, it's astonishing it's taken The Beatles management this long to remix those songs for the modern era. |
