I’m looking forward to this! I’m sure I must be wrong so correct me if I am. But Paul has not done an album with other musicians since Wings? He has a great band now. Always wanted to see him take them in to the studio and record something! But the albums he’s put out since Wings have been him...

I saw a link to a YouTube video and it looked like they were gonna be unfair to the guys. So I clicked on the video fully expecting to put a comment in their defending them and ended up laughing my arse off. It’s very well done lol. Thought you folks would enjoy it to!

Claus Voorman did the cover how cool. I didn’t know this thanks for the link @G-Dog . “Voormann, who'd moved to London, worked for three weeks in his tiny attic apartment. He used pen and black ink to create four large line drawings of the Beatles. He then combined the drawings with a collage...

Rumor is that a “Rubber Soul” remix is next!

Lol of course I did not mean me personally. I’m surprised that was your takeaway. I guess my writing wasn’t clear. But Revolver 22’ is the most recent remix and George’s work is more clear and prominent in that mix. So if I’m thinking of George, IE his birthday, I’m thinking of this remix in...

@G-Dog not sure if you posted that particular album cover for a reason but I have been updating all my Beatles playlist at Apple Music this week and replaced all my revolver songs with the Revolver 22’ mix. To my ears it’s superior to the other mix. Had headphones on last night and the...

Great post. Thanks. As far as biggest event of the “60s” I would only add the assassinations of the Kennedys. Heres a cool list.. The Sixties . Timeline . Text Version | PBS

Between 1962-1970 they wrote recorded and released 188 original songs. That’s mind boggling! Especially considering most of them were great songs! And their were also untold numbers of songs they wrote that were never released or recorded for an album. List of songs recorded by the Beatles -...

Hey everyone. Let me ask you a question. The setup. I was born in 1961. My mom was the 2nd oldest of 14 kids. I had aunts and uncles that were not much older than me and only 3 to 10 years older. I was ALWAYS in love with music. From my earliest memories. It was an escape from the mayhem around...

Since this thread seems to be speaking about watts and loudness I can add this take. I got a new amp for Christmas. It’s the new Boss Katana bass 60. It is amazing. Louder than my Rumble 500. Sounds better. More versatile. Yes. Louder than my Rumble 500. Not sure how that’s possible but that’s...

True. They are instantly recognizable. Perhaps worldwide? Maybe some of the most famous people ever? @13bass shared this pic on January 6th here (thank you) and I had never seen it or didn’t remember seeing it and it took me a minute to sort them out. Paul was the easiest for me…

I never thought of John and Paul as singers. I think of them as brilliant artist and songwriters. Creative geniuses. Sure I’m not singing “Oh Darling” and “Don’t Let Me Down” anytime soon lol so they could sing. Great singers even. But #12? Even at #26 too high. Too many great singers out there...

Drives me nuts seeing guitars laying around on the floor and leaning against amps ready to tumble to the ground. In the 70s we always leaned the guitars with the fretboard facing the surface if it was leaning on anything. Usually it was in a really cheap flimsy guitar stand or placed in an open...

The black nylon tape wounds. Cool. I always thought he started using them during the Let It Be sessions. But even earlier. Cool. I have them on my short scale now.

Never really liked any of the movies. They just seemed like marketing tools to me. Goofy. Pointless. Just marketing. So I never gave them serious thought. Paul said the “Magical Mystery Tour” album was not meant to be an album and they hated that “album.” Apparently it was only meant to be an...
