calvino Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I have those books. I think he is giving all the money from the auction to charity. Ok that's good - didn't hear that he was sick or anything, so I was wondering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ha. I still have these on my old lap top -- I must have gotten these from you or the original poster - I was going through them last month and was wondering where I have gotten them.

Moss Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Wow, watched a snippet of video from the auction. Ringo is looking thin and healthy. All that Broccoli he is eating I guess. I need to follow the Beatles/Stones diet plan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 $790k for Ringo's White Album.$2.2m for the older drum set.$112k for the Hello Goodbye drums$910k for the Lennon Rick. Shit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It's the Beatles. If you have the money why not buy White Album #1? It's not like you are going to play it. You can put it in frame and hang it up and have bragging rights. Same with the drums. What does Ringo need them for anymore. He looks great (really great actually), but he's not going to be using them much anymore. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It's funny - in the disclaimer page for the White Album, they stated that they could not guarantee that it was the first White Album that was pressed (there was no serial cataloging of the actual vinyl) - but just that it was the first album cover. Still, if I was a zillionaire, I would have been all over a lot of that stuff. Nice charity fundraiser. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 So, I was listening to some Lennon and Beatles the past couple days, being reminded of Lennon's murder anniversary. Listening to Revolver, and made it to "Tomorrow Never Knows" at the end.That song has to be one of the greatest Beatles songs ever, and one of the greatest overall songs period.It contains so many of the elements that made the Beatles what they were - psychedelia, studio effects & loops, Eastern influence, Ringo's fabulous drum skills, Paul's driving bass, John's voice, those LYRICS... all of it all in that one song. And the louder you have it turned up, the more of it you hear. It's an amazing song. That is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I wish I could go back and listen to the Beatles for the first time again. They were almost too good...if that is possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I wish I could go back and listen to the Beatles for the first time again. They were almost too good...if that is possible.I remember the first time I listened to Let It Be for the first time really sticking out, as do Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt. Peppers. But yeah, nothing beats the first time. Personally, I can say the same with other artists/albums too, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 On Monday (June 20), the producers of The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years announced the film will debut Sept. 17 on Hulu, one day after it rolls out in select U.S. theaters. Hulu scooped up exclusive U.S. streaming rights to the authorized doc in May, launching the streamer's new original documentary division. The Beatles: Eight Days a Week (trailer) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hey - I seem to recall owning this album when I was 11 years old: Apple Corps Ltd. and Universal Music Group are pleased to announce global release plans for The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl, a new album that captures the joyous exuberance of the band’s three sold-out concerts at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl in 1964 and 1965. A companion to The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years, Academy Award®-winner Ron Howard’s authorized and highly anticipated documentary feature film about the band’s early career, The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl will be released worldwide on CD and for digital download and streaming on September 9, followed by a 180-gram gatefold vinyl LP on November 18. The album includes a 24-page booklet with an essay by noted music journalist David Fricke, and its cover art features a sunny photo taken on August 22, 1964 by The Beatles’ then-U.S. tour manager, Bob Bonis, as John, Paul, George and Ringo boarded a chartered flight from Seattle Tacoma Airport to Vancouver, BC for their first concert in Canada.Documenting The Beatles’ Hollywood Bowl concerts on tape was no easy feat, as producer Sir George Martin explained in his album notes for 1977’s The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl: “The chaos, I might almost say panic, that reigned at these concerts was unbelievable unless you were there. Only three track recording was possible; The Beatles had no ‘fold back’ speakers, so they could not hear what they were singing, and the eternal shriek from 17,000 healthy, young lungs made even a jet plane inaudible.” While The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl references the long out of print 1977 album, it is an entirely new release, directly sourced from the original three track tapes of the concerts. To preserve the excitement of the shows while unveiling the performances in today’s best available clarity and quality, GRAMMY Award® winning producer Giles Martin and GRAMMY Award® winning engineer Sam Okell have expertly remixed and mastered the recordings at Abbey Road Studios, including the thirteen tracks from the original album produced by Giles’ father, plus four additional, previously unreleased recordings from the momentous concerts. “A few years ago Capitol Studios called saying they’d discovered some Hollywood Bowl three track tapes in their archive,” says Giles Martin. “We transferred them and noticed an improvement over the tapes we’ve kept in the London archive. Alongside this I’d been working for some time with a team headed by technical engineer James Clarke on demix technology, the ability to remove and separate sounds from a single track. With Sam Okell, I started work on remixing the Hollywood Bowl tapes. Technology has moved on since my father worked on the material all those years ago. Now there’s improved clarity, and so the immediacy and visceral excitement can be heard like never before. My father’s words still ring true, but what we hear now is the raw energy of four lads playing together to a crowd that loved them. This is the closest you can get to being at the Hollywood Bowl at the height of Beatlemania. We hope you enjoy the show…” Featuring rare and exclusive footage, Ron Howard’s The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years is based on the first part of The Beatles’ career (1962-1966) – the period in which they toured and captured the world’s acclaim. The film is produced with the full cooperation of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison. The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years touches on the band’s Hollywood Bowl concerts and includes footage of the “Boys” performance featured on The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl. White Horse Pictures’ GRAMMY Award®-winning Nigel Sinclair, Scott Pascucci, and Academy Award® and Emmy Award®-winner Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment are producing with Howard. Apple Corps Ltd.’s Jeff Jones and Jonathan Clyde are serving as executive producers, along with Imagine’s Michael Rosenberg and White Horse’s Guy East and Nicholas Ferrall. Following a world premiere event in London on September 15, the film will roll out theatrically worldwide with release dates set in the U.K., France and Germany (September 15); the U.S., Australia and New Zealand (September 16); and Japan (September 22). In the U.S., Hulu is the presenting partner for Abramorama’s theatrical release of the film, which will be available to stream exclusively to Hulu subscribers beginning September 17. Studiocanal and PolyGram Entertainment are also anchor partners on the film, having acquired U.K., France, Germany and Australia and New Zealand rights.

jbray Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Awesome! It'll be good to sift through the Hollywood Bowl concerts. What I really want, more than just the one recording of "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby" off of Anthology 2, is to hear a Beatles concert mic'd from the audience to hear what that was like and contrast it with these recordings. There has to be something like this for the Hollywood Bowl concerts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKaA6zqAZLE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
