All Things Must Beat. Share Anything Beatles!!

My 11 year old son wanted to be George Harrison in the school’s Living Wax Museum project. It was fun for me to help him get things together and it was cool to have George in the same room as George Washington, Albert Einstein, Walt Disney, Lewis and Clark, Patrick Henry and Lebron James, etc.

Revolver was the breakout album for me. "I want to Tell You" and "For No One" being the underrated tracks from their catalog. Although some of the music is clearly bubble gum targeted at teenage girls you can't know the impact these guys had unless you lived through it.
Being a bassist and a hornist, I was blown away to find that Alan Civil played the horn solo on " For No One."

Beatles 1970 "Let It Be" documentary, long out of official circulation, to be released in new Peter Jackson restored version.

Beatles' 'Let It Be' Film Heads to Disney+, Restored by Peter Jackson

For decades, the attitude toward the documentary “Let It Be” in the Beatles‘ camp seemed to be: Let it it rest in peace. But the film is finally going to be seen again. A restored version of the 1970 movie is coming soon to Disney+, the same service that brought fans “The Beatles: Get Back,” the 2021 Peter Jacksondocuseries that used outtakes from director Michael Lindsay-Hogg‘s original film.

The documentary will re-premiere on Disney+ May 8, certain to be a red-letter day for Beatles fans who have spent most of their lives wondering if it would ever be let out of the vault again. Not only has the 1970 film been dusted off, but it’s been restored by Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production using the same technology employed to make the vintage footage in “The Beatles: Get Back” look and sound as revitalized as it did.

The original film has been notorious for being the one item in the Beatles’ catalog that Apple seemed to want to suppress rather than exploit. “Let It Be” has not been officially in circulation in any form since the early 1980s, although muddy-looking bootleg copies have been widely available. Those boots were lifted off VHS and laserdisc versions that came out in the early days of the home video revolution; the movie never made it to a release in the DVD era, much less Blu-Ray or streaming.
