The Beatles

[Dark Star Boogie]

Lol.... sort of....

I always play right away to make sure there are no defects, then clean before a second play. I know, not a good practice, but it is what it is.

I do this too, sometimes.

Please tell me you aren’t running some stupid priced stylus.

No I'm running a very intelligently priced stylus that in no way did I overpay f-

I got it half priced and I'll never be able to afford to replace it.

I’m on my second listen now. Sounds great to me. I’m happy to have Paul’s version of Come And Get It on vinyl. It’s supposed to be different than the on on Anthology. I’d have to listen back to back to see if I notice a difference.

Did anyone else order Help Mono when it appeared in Merchbar? It doesn't even show up anymore and all they can tell me is that it's delayed. I'm wondering if its worth keeping my money tied up into something that has only a chance of shipping.

We watched Yesterday with the kids this past Friday. Older one (11) asked me to put some Beatles on her iPod this morning. Younger one is now wanting some too. YES! I've finally done it. All those years of rocking them to sleep singing When I'm 64, Golden Slumbers, and Blackbird finally paid off, all thanks to Danny Boyle.

Isn't that the greatest Dad feeling How was the movie, btw?

It's a wonderful feeling. To their credit, they really wanted to see Yesterday. It's a nice movie. Very heartfelt. Premise is silly but it's very enjoyable.

Well the premise was silly, but what got my attention, lol. I was just hoping it wasn't poorly delivered. I'll have to check it out now

Do you have kids young enough for Beat Bugs? My daughter loved it and used to ask for The Beatles. Unfortunately she discovered YouTube videos and Kidz Bop.

Beat Bugs was the entry point for my little beatlemaniac.

My daughter was watching it heavily about the time I really started diving into The Beatles (I know I was way late). So I like to say that we discovered The Beatles at the same time.

Across The Universe hooked my daughter. Now she likes the originals, too. Especially a fan of the sitar songs.

So is anyone else considering the 23 7” singles box set? I gotta say that I’m pretty tempted!

 

[Mather]

Not remastered, no idea what sources, alternate covers... 300+? Naw...

I mean they’re not really alternative covers when from what I can find most of the original uk releases had generic paper sleeves, they’re just covers lol. 300? I thought it was 200? Most 7” are 10-15 in store so while it’s a lot of money it doesn’t seem overpriced on current prices for 23 of them?

$210 USD is 270 CAD plus tax = $300+ for 23 singles I'm never gunna spin with no remastering. For me that's a big naw.

Ah ok, in Canadian money. It is around €200 lol. I’m torn, I love The Beatles and I love 7” and I’d like something like this at some point, I just don’t think I have €200 to drop on anything right now, never mind this.
