How was everyone’s Christmas? Mine was gear! ahdn_george_08 I got the single, Help !, and Rubber Soul ! beatlemaniacs_02_gif And some candy and socks and other stuff that isn’t nearly as exciting. a-hard-days-night-george-4

I spun Help ! yesterday, but I still haven’t given Rubber Soul a listen yet. I’m going to wait till all my folk have gone out so I can worship in private. beatlemaniacs_02_gif

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?! a-hard-days-night-ringo-6 

Married?! Is that why he was holding a press conference without the other Beatles and with that Pattie person? (I only saw the end bit of it.) 

I didn’t have any kinds of designs on him or anything, but, y’know, it would’ve been nice, when he was still young* and free… a-hard-days-night-paul-7 

I hope he’ll be happy. heart Or desperately unhappy and get a quick divorce… ahdn_paul_02 No. Bad Silly Girl. a-hard-days-night-john-7 I will wish him all the best. heart 

Lucky bird… a-hard-days-night-paul-3 

*He’s still young! There’s time, there’s time. a-hard-days-night-paul-7

I still haven’t been able to save up enough money to buy Rubber Soul ! What’s it like? I’ve managed to hear Drive My Car from hanging round the record shop and it sounds great!

Times I find it hard to say / With useless words getting in my waySuprised about this one.Sad about this one

IT’S AMAZING!!!!!!!! beatlemaniacs_02_gif Drive My Car is especially great, I’ve heard it before (even though I’m stuck with the crappy U.S version without that song on it paul-mccartney). Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) is my favorite. No, but The Word , but then Michelle , but then In My Life , but then Run For Your Life , but then….

I CAN’T CHOOSE!!!! THE ALBUM IS MY FAVORITE SO FAR OF WHAT THEY MADE!!!!! beatlemaniacs_02_gifbeatlemaniacs_02_gif

Am I doing this correctly?

Oh, ’tis brilliant! beatlemaniacs_02_gif I think it’s their best one yet. It has a lot more groovy vibes than the previous ones… for instance, there’s this weird sound on Norwegian Wood that sounds all exotic, like the Indian music in the Help ! film. It just sounds more inventive than anything I’ve ever heard before– Beatles or otherwise. 

natureaker– you’re doing a good job, and welcome to the club! But remember, you wouldn’t know that the US versions are crappy, and you wouldn’t know of Drive My Car either, as it hasn’t been released in the US. Unless you have an English correspondent.

Thanks for the information. I pleaded to my dad about it and he said that he’ll help me pay for it! So, fingers crossed, I may have the LP sooner or later. a-hard-days-night-ringo-10

After several listens to this gear album, I have fallen in love with the song Girl. I love that “fssst” sound John makes after he sings “Ahhh girl”.

Is anyone else creeped out totally with that song Run For Your Life ?!?! I don’t think I will listen to that one very often paul-mccartney!!!! I’m glad it is at the end of a side so I can just pick up the needle and end it. a-hard-days-night-paul-3

I just heard the other day about Paul’s accident that happened last month where he fell off his moped, chipped a front tooth, and cut his lip. I wonder how bad the scar will be. That face is so perfect. I don’t want it messed up. a-hard-days-night-ringo-14 However, I’m so glad he wasn’t hurt worse.

Does anyone know if The Beatles will be touring in America this year? I wonder if they will be anywhere near New York… the big apple01

They tour every year so I expect UK, Europe and US shows.

I wonder what the film will be, anyone heard anything?

I like ‘Run For Your Life ‘; George’s guitar work is so fabulous I get lost.

What Goes On ‘ is Ringo’s best song ever – and he helped write it!! Go Ringo.

Run For Your Life is my favorite. It would be a nice twist if it was the Beatles chasing after the fans.

I do have it, but that song isn’t on mine. I guess it is another one of those times we don’t get the version you get over in Britain. This nonsense needs to stop.

Here’s a picture of mine.

Why are their faces so squishy long?

They sure look different from their first album cover.

I’ve never seen that Introducing The Beatles record. I thought their first album was Please Please Me

PleasePleaseMe_1.jpgImage Enlarger

I expect it’s another case of changing the packaging when they get across the pond… I wonder why they do that? Why can’t they just release the same things? 

Any other discrepancies?

What happened to the colour of that ‘Rubber Soul ‘? 

Is that ‘Introducing The Beatles’ official? Its on veejay but I thought they were on Capitol. This is damn confusing!

I don’t know much about what’s going on in the USA concerning the Beatles’ LPs but a friend told me that they have 10 times the number of albums we have in the UK! I assume they were exaggerating but why can’t they keep them the same everywhere? It doesn’t make any sense ahdn_paul_01

How do they get 10 albums from 6 and a few singles? Would be around 10 tracks per album which seems a rip-off.

I blame the government. But seriously, why don’t they keep it the same EVERYWHERE? It ain’t seem that hard!

Well personally I say, the more Beatles albums there are to buy, the better! 😀  Especially since I live right on the U.S. border and can buy the American records almost as easily as the ones that were released here – like this one, my VERY FIRST Beatles album: 

Image Enlarger

 

The best $1.99 I’ve ever spent!!! (Not that it’s necessarily my favourite – my favourite is usually whatever’s newest – but the price for new records went up to $2.49 a couple of years ago, right around the time of the “Twist And Shout ” album. What a gyp!)

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Perhaps that’s the idea. Money– that’s what they want ahdn_paul_01 

But money can’t buy you love! Well, it can buy you Beatles, which is close enough. a-hard-days-night-george-9
