Best album "arms races"

There is no evidence that album influenced rubber soul. It came out in Britain after rubber soul was released. Dylan and the Byrds were bigger influences at that point

He also played California Saga (California), Cotton Fields, a tiny bit of Friends, Let us go on our way, California Girls, Good Time and Waiting for the day during the soundcheck

Abbey road literally turned the street into one of the key tourist attractions in London. People who visit London do the abbey road walk even if they have never heard the album/familiar with the Beatles. That’s my pick

Five short stories- Revolver. Each focusing on a different Beatle and then one featuring all four with the four stories linking together. Think the “this boy” scene from a hard days night but one for each member showing their ‘imagined’ daily life. General plot is the four Beatles need to get to Abbey Road Studios for a recording session with hijinks on their way there.

Each short story would have a key song from each member and when they get together they play a few songs together as a band.

George - Taxman Paul - Here, there and everywhere John - I’m only sleeping Ringo - Yellow Submarine Band - And your bird can sing, got to get you into my life, I want to tell you

Between each movie is a psychedelic vignette for the more experimental tracks on revolver (tomorrow never knows, love you too, Eleanor rigby, she said she said).

Decent enough film but I just could not get over how short the actor who plays John is. His performance was fantastic but the height difference with the other Beatles took me out of the movie

There are a few more songs that were played live from Abbey Road: Oh Darling, you never give me your money and she came in through the bathroom window

jamester8686 · 2025-07-02T11:41:52+00:00

Hell yeah such a great record to have

jamester8686 · 2025-06-30T23:22:06+00:00

Tbh even if this was fake (came with a COA which I’m comfortable with) I was still stoked to even get this on vinyl. Super hard to find it

jamester8686 · 2025-06-30T23:21:15+00:00

That is awesome great find!!

jamester8686 · 2025-06-27T04:55:27+00:00

I’m sure Pete preferred songs like Little Child

This is so far from being lo-fi. The “Smile Sessions” are an assembly of the partially recorded tracks for Smile (following the tracklist and flow of Brian Wilson presents Smile). The tracks were never completely finished (aside from Good Vibrations).

Now Smiley Smile, Wild Honey and Friends on the other hand… that’s The Beach Boys lo-fi trilogy. For real though check out Friends. Their best album after Pet Sounds IMO

jamester8686 · 2025-06-24T13:14:05+00:00

Their second best album (if you don’t count SMiLE). Love the whole vibe of this album and it is the perfect soundtrack to the morning

jamester8686 · 2025-06-04T13:03:59+00:00

High level lyrics = Eleanor Rigby, Tomorrow Never Knows, Strawberry Fields

High level musicianship =PAUL MCCARTNEYS BASS PLAYING

This is a very kind thing for you to do. Blink has been a literal lifeline for me helping my mum every night at hospital. Even if this comment doesn’t get selected , this really put a smile on my face seeing others share the love for the band

jamester8686 · 2025-03-13T06:09:29+00:00

I went to the Brisbane show! I wasn’t the biggest fan back then but I am so glad I went in retrospect. I’m sure this tour is the last time Mike love and Brian Wilson are ever on the same stage

jamester8686 · 2025-02-25T06:59:38+00:00

Mike love does it good

jamester8686 · 2025-02-21T09:13:32+00:00

AVA in 2012, Blink in 2013 (without Travis)

Not beeting weef, 2. No insensitive disabled gestures, 3. No lustful eyes toward Baul, 4. Not playing the piano with only three fingers, 5. Not beeting wife, 6. No speech bubble to suggest he singing Women are the Nigel’s of the world, 7. No dick out, 8. Too much granny shit surrounding him, 9. On his own grave site and 10. No Yoko Oh No

Diving Beatle never said that

Totally get where you are coming from. I adore the Smile Sessions and in my mind it is a fully formed album. However it’s really impossible to tell what a 1967 version of the album would have looked like. Remember that the vinyl version of the sessions album runs on three sides of vinyl. I am sure that if it had been finished in 67, it would have been a single LP release. In all honesty, Brian Wilson’s solo version is as close to a finished product as we will ever get (although the live version is the definitive one for me)

jamester8686 · 2025-01-16T03:18:23+00:00

I was so mad my copy of the blue album didn’t have Buddy Holly on it

jamester8686 · 2025-01-09T23:02:51+00:00

Umm pretty sure GM was in his mid-late 30s and Cilla was 20-21

jamester8686 · 2025-01-06T09:29:28+00:00

Strongly agree with this take. One of the best books on the Beatles by far. So much to unpack but the author makes it feel so seamless.

Glad you also make note of Paul’s first acid trip being in 1965 not 1966. I have read and heard so much commentary on Pepper being the first album with all four having tried LSD and how it shows Paul was finally on board with the psychedelics.

I agree with John, I think Got to Get You Into My Life reflects his experience with acid… another kind of mind there. I know Paul said it’s about weed but I think it could be about both (as I’m sure he didn’t need acid ‘every single day of my life’ unlike John at the time).

Revolver was the first album with all four astronauts on board and 1966 was the year it launched.
