Granted, it’s a compilation album. And it comes after both Sgt. Pepper’s and Abbey Road. That said, Hey Jude, a/k/a The Beatles Again, was long my favorite Beatles album — and remains among my favorites 40 years after it was released. Some don’t consider this an “official” Beatles album because it is a compilation.

 Print This Post |  Email This PostWhat’s going on at the Vatican? Is Pope Benedict trying to be even more hip than John Paul II? On Sunday, its official newspaper published a list of the top 10 rock albums. Not surprisingly, none of the records on its list of Desert Island Discs is on my list. Even [...] Tim February 16th, 2010 | Tags: Beatles, Bob Dylan, Music, Pink Floyd, Santana | Category: Music | Comments are closed |
Print This Post | Email This PostToday my wife and I officially become “empty nesters.” And one of the things that comes to mind as my youngest flies off this morning to UMass is The Beatles. That may strike some as a bit odd but, truly, it isn’t. My youngest daughter is the biggest Beatles fan I know. She [...] Tim September 3rd, 2009 | Tags: Beatles, Music | Category: Music, Personal/Family | 2 comments - (Comments are closed) |
Print This Post | Email This PostTruly, I’m not on a Beatles kick. The fact three of the first four Midweek Music Moments have dealt with Beatles-related releases is a coincidence of dates. And a couple things justify this week’s selection. First, as far as I am concerned, All Things Must Pass, released on Nov. 27, 1970, is [...] Tim November 26th, 2008 | Tags: Beatles, classic rock, George Harrison, Midweek Music Moment, Music | Category: Music | One comment - (Comments are closed) |
Print This Post | Email This PostSo is it the quality of the songs or the fact John Lennon was murdered three weeks after Double Fantasy was released that makes it special? There’s a lot of good things to say about Double Fantasy. But there’s an equal amount of bad, with bad spelled Y-o-k-o O-n-o. While you don’t criticize a [...] Tim November 19th, 2008 | Tags: Beatles, John Lennon, Midweek Music Moment, Music, rock | Category: Music | Comments are closed |
Print This Post | Email This PostRecently, I’ve found myself listening almost incessantly to certain albums from the late ’60s and early ’70s. The “rediscovery” of this music leads to what I hope will become a weekly installment on the blog. The focus largely will be on older albums for which the dates of the current week were important [...] Tim November 5th, 2008 | Tags: Beatles, classic rock, Midweek Music Moment, Music | Category: Music | Comments are closed |
Print This Post | Email This PostIt seems as if books on the Beatles will never end. Tony Bramwell’s Magical Mystery Tours is the latest “insider” view of the band. Of course, when a John Lennon lyric sheet is selling for $1 million, the market is evidently there. Bramwell grew up in Liverpool with Harrison, Lennon and McCartney. He was [...] Tim July 28th, 2005 | Tags: Beatles, Book Reviews, Books, memoir, nonfiction, Review Copy | Category: Book Reviews | Comments are closed |
