I haven't seen him live but gave 2 pairs of tickets as gifts for separate concerts to fans who really appreciated it.

 

What is your favourite part of his catalogue?

 

Mine are the throwaway masterpieces Good Day Sunshine and For No One, doing his thing while John was doing his.

 

 

 

I like b sides or tunes he really doesn’t play. Don’t care for The warhorses

A unique view of the last time they ever played together:

Norwegian Wood and In My Life are two of my favorite Beatles tunes.  I could play Rubber Soul on repeat.  Maybe not the best, but my favorite.

Meet The Beatles  is THE first album I ever bought. So just for sentimental reasons it is my favorite

we've heard them so much.....

 

a top 40 station ran a Big 500 top pop singles countdown a few years ago, but The Beatles weren't allowed in it, they'd take up 25 of the top 40.

The eagle has landed! I've got the White Album Deluxe in my greedy little hands, can't wait to check this out this weekend, especially the 5.1 mix. :thumbsup:

 

please provide full reviews and impressions....  your views matter to me...

 

i'd buy now but work is crushing any ability to have full-fledged enjoyable leisure hours to enjoy this.

 

was there a 50th for We're Only in it for the Money?

I don’t think so, but I’m pretty sure I have the flacs of some other special edition of it downloaded on one of my hard drives. I’m not a big Mothers fan, my fav Zappa ‘era’ starts with Hot Rats and ends with Joe’s Garage, Act 1.

flacs, not flags

why did we have to wait until 2018 for an effort like this for The Beatles?

 

hard to pick out the best of this crop, the entire Side 3??????????????

 

Long Long Long is the winner here, finally get to hear it....

 

 

 

 

my Zappa ends with Apostrophe and includes everything listenable before that

Revolution guitar riff is most excellent, on the 50th anniversity

Amazing that it’s 50 years old. These guys were still in the mid to late twenties. Awesome mix

Macca doing his Elvis on you’re so square.

Helter Skelter is awesome. Macca’s vocals are insane

68 was a very good year for rock. My gosh. My favorites beggars, electric ladyland and the white.

 

The year itself has a good top 30 albums, I will add Wheels of Fire and Super Session in passing....

They are all my favorite, but I had to vote for Abbey Road.  Notice my avatar.  I also had my photo taken walking across Abbey Road in my bare feet.

 

The main reason Abbey Road would have to be my "favorite" album is that my favorite song of all time is on that album - Here Comes the Sun.

Nice of George to lend that great song, would have fit fine on the first album of All Things Must  Pass. :D

So many great songs on ATMP

 

It’s scary how great it is, one of the best solo projects to me, actually probably the best on second thought 

 

 

 

Nah, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band wins

           So when is the last time you listened to the original White Album?  How do you listen, speakers or headphones?   I ask because I listened to a couple of the remastered White Album songs and while they sounded good, it was through my son's speakers, which I am not really that familiar with.  I do most of my listening with headphones.   If I wanted to do a comparison I would have to listen to the original a couple of times with headphones before listening to the new release. It has been at least 20 years since I have listened to the original White Album.

         I ask the same of anyone else who has the new release.

Listening practices....

 

these days with well spent $$$ on amped headphones

 

long time since loudspeakers, often connected in OOPS for that inner zone that lets you these John clearly say the f-word in Hey Jude

 

The CD and laptop listenings of days oadt allowed for a whole new set of sounds to emerge with the clarity

 

i preferred mono for The Beatles, the 2018 is the best sound i’ve heard in stereo, there are a lot of bad moments in stereo up till now, even on the 2009

 

 

 

 

———-

 

far from an audiophile but my neurasthenic hearing touchiness and rainman tendencies have kept a memorized library of all versions of rock albums and entire symphonies and string quartets on tap when I want to listen internally
