cgoodwin22 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 here's some pics of the blue/red vinyl: red album: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 That is interesting. I use to sit and look at those photos for long periods of time when I was a kid. 1962–19661967–1970 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Anyone ever have this one back in the day?I had the cassette. Or my household did, I should say.Stupid square American version didn't have Ballad of John & Yoko. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I know we had Rock 'n' Roll Music, The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, and Love Songs. I don't think I ever owned 20 Greatest Hits though. There is also The Beatles Collection, Rarities, Reel Music (I think I had a tape of this one), and The Beatles: The Collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I is crazy how many times they re-package the same stuff. This is like the 3rd or 4th version just on CD. Wait until they go in I-Tunes another $500,000,000. People are crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I always thought this one was strange, guess that's why it didn't last long. Total 50's imagery in the fold, never fit the Beatles at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 One fewer stop on the Liverpool Beatles tour as Ringo's birthplace is under threat of being demolished:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-10999705 Funny they call them "Welsh streets" - my grandparents lived in a terraced street exactly the same in Cardiff (though that style of terraced house is typical housing for industrial workers 100 years ago right across the country) - and so did I for the first 4 months of my life - which is about the same as Ringo did there it seems. Ringo isn't all that well regarded in Liverpool after a few comments in TV interviews about being glad to get out, missing nothing about the city, and rarely going back etc. Famously, and funnily, afterwards some Scouse scally once lopped his head off the topiary memorial to the Fab Four that the council had set up.

Synthesizer Patel Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 how do you like the mono box set? i just checked amazon and it looks like i can get it new for as cheap as $150. be very careful with people selling them cheap. there are loads of cheap chinese knock-offs being sold. i actually bought one, and fortunately the person gave me the money back, after i proved to him it was fake - you might not be so lucky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPBHT_O2_NU that shows the fake, and i got my fake from amazon, so it's not just ebay apart from that - the mono box set is the best version to get. for the sound and for the packaging etc...

Analogman Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 LENNONNYC Watch a clip from the AMERICAN MASTERS: LENNONYC, a new film that takes an intimate look at the time Lennon, Yoko Ono and their son, Sean, spent living in New York City during the 1970s. The film premieres nationally Monday, November 22 at 9pm on PBS (check local listings). In this clip see archival performance footage and interviews with the musicians and recording engineers who worked with Lennon – Jim Keltner, Jack Douglas, Roy Cicala, Andrew Newmark, Klaus Voorman, and Earl Slick – all discussing John Lennon’s particular genius. This is coming out October 5th:Double Fantasy Stripped Down I can't say I ever cared for that album. It may be interesting to hear it without the slick production though.

cgoodwin22 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 so, my question would be this...do you really want to hear a stripped down version of this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I suppose I am in the decided minority here as I find most of Lennon's work after Mind Games to be inane. No that sounds about right. There are a few isolated killer songs #9 Dream, Nobody Told Me, Watching The Wheels, Stand By Me, but the rest of it I could give or take, I'd even put most of Mind Games and almost all of Sometime in New York City in with that group as well. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'm losing you, Beautiful boy, watching the wheels, Woman, Starting over...rank up there with his best solo work in my opinion, I'm surprised by the criticism. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'm losing you, Beautiful boy, watching the wheels, Woman, Starting over...rank up there with his best solo work in my opinion, I'm surprised by the criticism. I'm with Moss. Sure, it's hit or miss towards the end, but when it hits, it's as good as anything he ever did, and better than almost everything anyone else ever did.

Atticus Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I like the following John Lennon tunes, post-Beatles: working class herogodimaginejealous guywoman is the nigger of the worldstand by me(just like) starting overbeautiful boywatching the wheelswomanreal love (or whatever the one from the Imagine soundtrack is) I find the production on almost all of Lennon's solo work so horrible as to make much of it unlistenable. I wish I were able to get past that and open up to some more of the songs... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 i wasn't big on his post Beatles stuff until there was a blog that had those radio shows that played his demos. a friend had given me Lennon Legend and most of the songs on there sounded a lot a like, so i figured he was kinda one note, but after getting the albums i saw that is not the case.
