Beatles-Yes or No

[3-LockBox]

Don't Bring Me Down was a B-side, and seems to work more as that than as an album track on the album for some reason. Across The Universe was originally done for the World Wildlife Foundation or something like that & the original version of it is way different. It's on the British version of the Rarities LP. There are sounds of birds & backup vocals that weren't on the LP version. Don't know if that's the one on Past Masters, but it's an entirely different recording.

Yeah, the wildlife thing is the one on the Past Masters CD, as is the better version of Don't Bring Me Down, which has a way better mixdown of Billy Preston's sumptuous organ (keyboards that is).

I like "nekkid" better.

Yes, me too...'naked' is just a state of being disrobed, but 'nekkid' means the same while implying intent...its just naughtier

the beatles get a strong yes from me,i have always been a fan,but i am in my late forties so i grew up listening to them.They have been a great influence on pop and rock music ever since.A fact i was not aware of until recently is that they produced only about 10 hours of recorded music.I have about 10 cd's and enjoy them all,White Album is my favorite however.
We can only wonder what they would have produced had they lasted another 8-10 years,alas we will never know.
