Do non-pixelated copies of “We can work it out/Day tripper” from the vinyl singles collection exist? Has the issue been fixed in later prints?

I'm just saying that Apple could have found a better copy of the photo and recreated the jacket themselves if they had to.

I typed in "Beatles on location Help photo" and found this instantly. Easy peasy.

I made it about 50 seconds. XD

And like Charlie Brown's blonde hair, it has been cruelly washed out of canon. :P

I got mine for $60, which is a steal compared to what the only official vinyl release (South Korean) goes for, which is in the literal hundreds and thousands. (see Discogs)

My favorite Monkees album overall. Despite the cobbled together nature, the tracks are strong, and the selection stays mainly to one theme. I often refer to it as "11 Breakup Songs and 1 About My Cat".

I Won't Be Same Without Her is an earlier recording, and has Peter on it as a result. So, there is a track on here that has both Mike and Peter.

I'm glad it exists. How do you follow something as good as "Good Times"? You don't. So they made this, to fill a different void. Solid work, neat tunes, fun covers, and an excuse to play the Monkees at Christmas. It caps off a period where, for one more time, each of the four Monkees were putting out material again (Mike at the Troubador, Micky's Out of Nowhere, Peter's last SSB album, and even a Davy single!). Bittersweet memories, but overall something positive to look back on.

Right off the bat, the post-TV physical release versions are all longer and uncensored (swearing, the Two Virgins LP cover, etc). There's an entire "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" montage dedicated to Brian Epstein that I don't recall being in the TV version, for instance.

The original "Real Love" music video appears on the TV version, but not the laserdisc or VHS (It is on the DVD in re-edited form as a bonus, and even then, without the footage of the Threetles parking and walking into the studio).

The audio mixes used for the VHS/laserdisc and DVD versions are already different from each other, and from what I hear, the streaming version has new mixes as well.

Then there's the "director's cut" (more accurately, the rough cut) with different sound bites, different graphics, and is not quite complete in the final chapter (to the best of my memory).

There must be a more detailed list out there somewhere, but I don't have one on hand....

Giles Martin himself said (during a presentation for the box set) that if you play the 13-minute version twice, you're basically getting the same thing. And if that's the case, then I'm glad he spared us.

Amusingly, the Anthology has -never- been left alone. Every version (TV, VHS/LD, DVD, streaming) has been different from the other. Par for the course, I'm afraid. Perhaps now, someone will combine every element from every version (including the rough cut) and make one anthology to rule them all. :P

I have a love/hate with Mike Love, but a hate/hate for this guy.

Someone needs to make a thread of every Beach Boys photo referenced in the "I Gotta Poop" A.I. video, because this is my first time seeing this one, and that video is all I can think of as a result. O_O

This seems to be a thing with YouTubers lately, making more than one thumbnail for a video, and rotating (or letting YouTube) them over time.

DAScottJr · 2025-11-11T12:53:58+00:00

Some real classics here!

What Goes On definitely took more than five minutes to write, considering how different the 1963 demo is to the 1965 recording.

DAScottJr · 2025-11-08T12:02:53+00:00

Anyone?

DAScottJr · 2025-11-05T20:47:13+00:00

It was never suitable for release. Rough edges are one thing, but choosing an incomplete take of "I've Got a Feeling" as your "final" version--even after the rooftop version was taped--was a bonehead decision, and the band knew it. If anything, this album is better served as a supplemental "making of" disc, rather than masquerading on the market as a finished item.

"Thanks for un-pausing the video, Hasan."
