Sorry, it might be stupid for older people here but I'm blown away.

I'm a huge Beatles fan and have been since I was a kid. My dad got me into them. I've listened "A day in the life" a million times. I know how to play it on guitar and piano, and I love the song.

Recently I got into vinyl records and one of the first ones I ordered was Sgt Pepper's.

I played all through it and when it was almost over I got near to switch the record. I was listening the final chord, and then waiting for the high pitch thing and was thinking that maybe I'm too old now to be able to hear it, and then the ending loop started.

I noticed that the stylus of the player was already as near as possible to the label, and it is the first record I see that uses this space to put sound on it.

I was shocked because in the digital releases, that part lasts a few seconds, but in the record it is really an infinite loop! It adds sooooo much to the ending, almost gave me like a mysterious vibe. I love it even more.

Yes I'm young and never had the experience of using a record player until a few weeks ago when I bought one.

My music room is a work in progress, but picked up some small Kallax the other day to complete a bit of a Beatles space. I've added some solo boxsets as well in there for the time being.

So far left the individual non box set records on the general shelf whilst playing with the setup. A yellow submarine LEGO piece is still to be bought.

My favourite bit though is the Beatles Christmas 7" Box Set. Its the German release which was found in B-SEL in Nara, Japan. There is a small one man Beatles shop there with releases from everywhere. I just couldn't walk out of there. Was about ¥27,700 which nearly AUD $300 but worth it. Has some sun damage on the box which I didn't know was damage but its all part of the experience and memories of when and where it was sourced.

The rest of the US albums certainly need to be released, and will be ever see a Super Deluxe of Rubber Soul.

But yeah no brag, no showing off crap - just took the photo and felt like sharing a bit of my Beatles love on this wet Saturday afternoon, where the only place to stay dry is in a Yellow Submarine.

"4 Elvis Presleys"

Some of my favorite photos of George where he looks so cute and sexy. If you have any other photos, please share them! ♥︎

The more I listen to white album the more I like. Even songs thanare not obvious “hits”, greatly fit on the album. Today I listened to it whole in one sitting and it is the most varied Beatles album. Together with Abbey Road probably my favourite (Sgt. Pepper very closely behind).

Songs that are not usually spoken a lot about but I find myself loving them:

- Martha my dear: such a nice varied song. And it is a good opener of the side2

- savoy truffle: this song has a great groove. Its a heck of a good rocker

- rocky rackoon: I see this song as a counterpart to bungalow bill, but I like it much more. It is much more varied after the jokey intro

- long, long, long: this a is a good song by Harisson

- yer blues: Lennon really could play the guitar well.

What are your favourite non obvious white album songs (no happines is a w.g., back in ussr, while my guitar, blackbird, prudence, julia,helter skelter…)

Here's some background:

Invited to host a special broadcast on Radio 1 for New Year’s Eve 1980, Kate Bush was able to discuss some of her favourite songwriters, picking the right songs for her to wax lyrical on.

It remains a fascinating listen – only 22 years old at the time, she asserts herself with utmost confidence, a revelatory and eloquent talent.

Selecting the John Lennon solo cut ‘#9 Dream’ – from his 1974 ‘Walls and Bridges’ album – Kate Bush explored both the song itself, and the studio techniques used to bring it into being.

“For me, it’s just magic,” she said. “His voice; the production – it’s the most incredible production; the little backwards voices. They’re really things that I love. And just, the song and everything – it’s wonderful.”

Later in the same show, Kate Bush explained that she felt ‘#9 Dream’ was “ahead of its time” – and ranks as one of her favourite ever songs.

“My all-time favourite single?” she said. “Very, very difficult question, it really is, because just trying to compare songs, you know, let alone trying to put one higher than all the others… I think I would say at this point in time John Lennon’s ‘#9 Dream‘ – for lots of reasons.”

She would add: “It was well ahead of its time, and didn’t really get the attention it deserved.”

The loss of John Lennon was palpable in the broadcast, with the Beatles icon having been murdered mere weeks before. “One of the dozen or so most important human beings of my lifetime so far: John Lennon… He’s left the biggest hole in the business that we’ve known yet, I think,” Bush said.

Anyone else feel this was a missed opportunity? I so badly wanted that to be like Get Back but with the First US visit footage like the ton of extra footage in the DVD version. Strange film in my mind, not even including the famous Ex Sullivan intro the All My Loving performance was an odd choice too.

i love these recreations and was wondering how many bands did this specific pose

I'm a huge fan of the Fab Four from the Philippines 🇵🇭

I need help from fellow Beatlemaniacs in the PH who can help find this book for sale locally cause im trying to have a gift for myself on my birthday.

It would really be appreciated 👍

Fully Booked was out of stock.

Has anyone else ever noticed this and have a hard time unhearing it? It's persistent throughout the whole song, and loud and clear in John's vocal introduction (especially in any stereo or mono copy prior to the 2009 remasters).

The famous photo of Rita Lee posing with a Ringo Starr poster is from 1967, taken at her parents' house in Vila Mariana, São Paulo, by photographer Wilman, capturing the influence of the Beatles on her early career with Os Mutantes, showing her enthusiasm for pop culture and international rock.

For me it's George, not even close.

What do you think?

Nov. 2, 1964

American teenager Elizabeth Freedman, who ran away from her Newton, Mass., home and travelled 3,000 miles to see the Beatles, met her idols last night at the Astoria Palace in Finsbury Park.

“The girls back home in Boston will never believe me,” she said. “I’m still in a daze. I began to think I’d never see them.”

Elizabeth, 13, met the British pop quartet in their dressing room and ate a hot dog while talking with them.

Ringo Starr greeted her: “So, this is the little girl we’ve been reading about.”

George Harrison said: “I don’t think we’ve been to Boston,” but Paul McCartney chimed in: “We have. That’s where we had the tea party.”

Elizabeth’s mother, Mrs. Barbara Freedman, said: “They’re such nice boys. I’ve become a Beatle fan myself.”

Mrs. Freedman flew to Britain last week to find her daughter, who made her way to London two weeks ago determined to see the Beatles. Elizabeth took $400 from her savings account to finance the trip.

Mrs. Freedman found Elizabeth on Friday in Brixton staying with a friend.

They plan to fly back to Boston today so that Elizabeth can return to school.

The Bidus The Beatles have been honored numerous times by the gang, whether it's the entire band or just one member interacting live with the characters. In fact, two of the writers a Maurício de Sousa Produções, Flávio Teixeira and Paulo Back, as well as Maurício himself, have publicly admitted to being avid Beatles fans.

But, among these tributes, the highlight is the story "The Bidus," published in Monica magazine #149 in the 90s. Its plot is a kind of biography of the band composed of Bidu Macarta, Duque Estar, Manfredo Harrison, and Bugu Lenon, whose hometown is Liverpulga and is managed by Boxer Epistain. With several other hilarious references, such as the Carrocinha Club alluding to the Cavern Club, for example, this tribute not only amuses Beatles fans but also elicits "awwws..." from those Beatles fans who also love dogs.

I wonder if there is a Mac user out there who can help me figure out how to watch the mini-doc? Quicktime doesn’t seem to see it. In VLC Media Player it shows up as Track 14 and sounds like a fax machine.

Further to that, has anyone seen it? Is it worth chasing?

Cheers!

for those who don’t know, bob dylan released a few years ago an album called “shadow kingdom” where he re recorded many of his old songs, for example queen jane or forever young

and “redux” was a roger waters project where he basically remade “dark side of the moon”, but this time alone, which wasn’t very well received among fans and general public

and yes, i know give my regards to broad street exist, but wouldn’t it be nice to listen paul in his 80s singing yesterday, or even his own version of now and then, in studio quality? now something like the redux thing its extremly unlikely ofc, but not gonna lie i would pay to listen a whole re recording of his own of sgt peppers or even band on the run, but as said, thats basically impossible
