Grapefruit was signed to Apple Publishing in early 1968. The plan was to eventually move Grapefruit over to Apple Records once their contract with United Artists ran out. Despite having some success with Dear Delilah later in the year, by the time Grapefruit had honored the UA contract, Apple was in crisis and the move never happened.

I made two albums of the Imagine and Mind Games raw mixes. And I find myself going to these versions more than the originals.

I know John didn't like his voice but I think his singing is wonderful on these mixes. Its raw and powerful. No Phil Spector overdoing it with reverb, echo, strings, etc. Just John singing, the players playing. Period.

And...in my dream world...I imagine John playing the songs live with a small band.

Is absolutely phenomenal. I said it, the actors are superb, Brian Epstein's actor was insane. So true to the actual history, so amazing.

No words except, excellent. Has to be one of the, if not, THE best Beatles biopic.

Dressed up like John on the rubber soul album and am sat outside my house handing out the candy to the kiddos. Peace and love this is my favorite fall album so I knew I had to dress up like my favorite band! What if your favorite song on rubber soul? Mines “nowhere man”

My lovely mum has just texted me to try and help her find out who the journalist in the clip at the end of Midas Man is. We have tried googling to no avail. Found this sub and thought it would be a great place to ask this very question. Can anyone please help? Thank you. 😊

There's gotta be at least 3-4 others on this server, surely

Just curious, as I have a couple theories on this

I've occasionally heard non-goth writers make egregious claims about a "goth Beatle" or some song or other counting as "proto goth", so I'd figure I'd ask here to see what you guys think!

Also applies to people who don't specifically identify as goth but still primarily enjoy alternative music (although if you could state what broad genre you're into that'd be helpful!)

(This is not scientific at all, I just know 0 other people irl within the contradictory venn diagram of countercultural Beatles fans so here I am)

There are the 2014 releases (Deluxe ed) incl the U. S. album box set & the 2021 Digital Remasters. Soundwise which do you prefer?

Ive been into the beatles a long time but only recently I learned that John was writing a play from a video of Real Love called "The Ballad of John and Yoko"

Can someone fill me in on what it was gonna be?

The interviews with the beatles parents, friends and teachers during their childhood is awesome. So much details that only he had the opportunity to get.

There are some obvious things we can tell in hindsight that he purposefully left out which even he admits "Someone can do a proper critical biography of them in fifty years' time", which very accurately describes Tune In!

It's hilarious how the chapter on Brian Epstein dances around his sexuality only to end with "But as far as most people could see, he was hard working, charming and gay". I know gay in this context means happy, but it was just funny to me.

I wish he took more time chronologically covering Revolver, Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour. It goes from Beatlemania right to Brian's death and then to them meeting the Maharishi. After this, he drops all chronology to just mention his own personal anecdotes he witnessed during these periods. These are the best and most insightful parts of the book, but I wish it had filled more of the book in chronological order. He was there first hand after all.

John Lennon was zoned out most of the time and I couldn't tell if he was just on drugs or if that's just how he is.

The book ends just before major changes in The Beatles lives. I know he couldn't have known or controlled when the book ends, but it's an unsatisfying ending for sure.

Feel free to add your own. I chose not to count singles and their b-sides, and also not to count songs that lead one into the other (i.e.: Sgt Pepper's and With a Little Help)

She Loves You/I Wanna Hold Your Hand: Perfect pop songs that shot them to stardom and would be just the beginning of their legendary status.

A Hard Day's Night/Can't Buy Me Love: A song about working hard for someone and another about having no money for someone.

If I Fell/And I Love Her: Classic Beatles love songs, and the first hints of their superior songwriting.

Yesterday/Blackbird: Part of this is the "LOVE" remix talking, but they're also simple, but deeply effective.

You Won't See Me/I'm Looking Through You: They really aren't that similar, but one's about seeing, and the other's about looking, and that's enough for me.

Michelle/Girl: Same soft vocals and laid-back music, with a hint of desire.

In My Life/Here There and Everywhere: Soft, legendary ballads that cemented Lennon-McCartney as some of the best songwriters in history.

Here There and Everywhere/For No One: These are completely opposite songs on the same album, but the intensity of each feeling is the exact same.

Yellow Submarine/Octopus's Garden: Ringo songs about being underwater with your friends.

I Want to Tell You/Got to Get You into My Life: I don't know how to explain this, they just sound similar to me.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/Magical Mystery Tour: Opening and title tracks that introduce you to the whole "concept".

Getting Better/Fixing a Hole: Uplifting songs, and one comes after the other.

When I'm Sixty-Four/Hello, Goodbye/Your Mother Should Know/Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da/Martha My Dear/Honey Pie: Just all of Paul's granny songs. I love them.

Hey Bulldog/Lady Madonna: Absolute rockers.

Revolution/Helter Skelter: Hardest Beatles songs.

Wild Honey Pie/Honey Pie: Okay, hear me out: Honey Pie is the guy singing and playing his ragtime ditty, while Wild Honey Pie is after he gets drunk out of his mind and is feeling sad about his lover.

I'm So Tired/Yer Blues: John going insane/suicidal.

I Will/Julia: Soft songs. And like I said before about Here There and For No One, different vibes, but same intensity.

Birthday/Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey: Silly rockers.

Mother Nature's Son/Across the Universe: Calming songs about being connected with the world, with an almost meditational feel to them.

Old Brown Shoe/For You Blue: George's simplest love songs. Not about how love is this great thing, but just about loving a girl and nothing more.

Dig a Pony/Don't Let Me Down: I don't know, they just sound similar to me.

The Long and Winding Road/Let It Be: Paul's biggest ballads, and deeply moving in my opinion.

Because/Sun King: Harmonies. Sun King is the child of Here Comes the Sun and Because.

I remember when I was little my brother and sisters had Nintendo ds with flip notes and there was one on it that had a beatles song i think. I've tried searching for it but can't remember it, all I remember about it is there was a harmonica(?), them saying "ooo" and the lyrics went something like "I feel fine." I'd love to find this song and close the question that's been gnawing at the back of my mind for years now.

Just curious on your tastes...
