{MUSIC} The Beatles revisited, only naked
Posted by: weeks <weeks@...>
Python's Nude Man at the organ, the Beatles didn't play in the nude.
It's a rerelease of the original recordings with Phil Spector's "Crappy
Wall of Sound" removed. It's supposed to be what McCartney envisioned
for the band - getting back to playing as a 4 (or 5 in some cases) piece
band - a good club band. And from the reviews, they likely really
succeeded on this one. Phil Spector came in and almost destroyed an
amazing piece of work. Paul and Ringo are said to be stunned and elated
at how good it came out. I'm anxious to go get it today.
I know some of you guys think the Beatles were just a band, but I think
they changed music forever - in the best way. I know that I wouldn't
have been so involved in it (probably would have continued my
football "career") if it wasn't for them and I know most music played in
church would still...well, be boring (not that praising God is boring,
just the music itself...like Larry Norman once said, I don't like none of
those funeral marches, I ain't dead yet).

replied, "I think not." And just disappeared right before my eyes."
