All you need is $300

Where we go and buy the all new Beatles re-mastered stuff.


Well forgive me!


I like a lot of Beatles songs, like not love. I love their simplicity and the pictures they paint in my head. Written, often, by men who’d had a quick pull on the wacky baccy it seems.

Nobody likes the drummer though. The man we knows as Simon “the spice girls will never amount to much” Cowell recons that they’d fail a talent competition. Which isn’t the point is it. You can’t fail when you’ve reached the top, and clearly can’t get back together as a band, especially given that John Lennon appears to be dead.
Sir Paul though must be rubbing his hands with glee. I’m not up on many things but didn’t Wackko Jakko once own the back-catalogue for Apple Music. And Didn’t Sir Paul want to change to accreditation on a lot of songs from Lennon-McCartney to McCartney-Lennon ?

Are the Albums any good? Mostly about 44-46 minutes – being as how they were like 2 LP sides long and that was about as long as you could fit on them – compared to today’s monster 6-75 minute 12-15 song efforts you’d be thinking not good value for money.

Are the Albums any good? Some of them are better than the others. Some of the content is iffy. But then show me a perfect album from any artist.

Are the Albums any good? I’m not sure how you would compare the Vinyl to a 1st generation CD to these latest digitally Re-mastered efforts. I have some of all three, Just no way to compare them in a sensible way.

Besides which what’s the first thing you do? Straight onto the MP3 player and you know how that enhances the quality of sound.

Do I enjoy them, Yes! well sometimes. But then I enjoy a lot of music variously. Particularly the ones you can sing-along with. And the ones where you can make up alternate words.
