    Just been sitting in the garden with Mrs No7 and we were playing the 'Hey Siri' game where we get a go each to ask our iPhone to play a song (we are laugh a minute trust me <laugh><laugh>)

    Anyway this seemed to be the biggest hit tonight for some reason :)



    EDIT: I'm in trouble now as I just asked her why she liked it so much and she pointed out it was on the radio all the time and no2 in the charts when we met....

    Careful matey, you'll be making post this again. Nice choice, by the way. Very Euro sound:


    Mrs TSS loved it, I hated it, then I loved it.

    Genuine Beatles tracks on YT are appearing, and staying. One of the best:


    Now listen to a brilliant Live version from Peter Frampton:

    Is it just the George Harrison written songs or is original Lennon/McCartney material being allowed too, TSS?

    I think Michael Jackson's estate still own the rights doesn't it?

    Cheers...

    Just found this, apparently Sony own them now...

    "In 2015, McCartney began the fight to reclaim 32 Beatles songs written in 1962. In 2016 Sony finally agreed to pay $750 million to buy out the half of Sony/ATV which was owned by the Jackson Estate. This made Sony the sole owner of 750,000 songs, including the Lennon-McCartney catalog."

    An update, apparently Macca has them all back now as of 2 years ago....

    As some observer on YT wrote, 'How the freak did they go from Please Please Me to this in 4 years?' Certainly got a point there - Blue Jay Way:

    They started on Rubber Soul, but Revolver was the album that they really started to expand their creative wings and it is my favourite of theirs..

    Revolver - yeah, almost for me too. But I like Abbey Road just a tad more. But apart from the very earliest stuff, [and the odd track is VERY early and distinctly iffy], I don't think there's a single album I can point to and say I dislike it. I can even listen to Hard Day's Night on the radio and really enjoy it:

    They were a great guitar driven pop band in the early to mid 60s and without them no Byrds and hundreds of clones, they also motivated Brian Wilson to "up his game" too for all of our benefit!.

    Yes. I watched yet another short documentary the other week on Brian Wilson's feeling that he felt challenged to 'do better', and so out came 'Pet Sounds', which I still adore to this day. And whilst the Beach Boys never quite hit those experimental heights again, with or without Brian at times, they did come out with Wild Honey, Smiley Smile, Sunflower, Surf's Up, So Tough, and I always felt these albums lived under the huge shadow of Pet Sounds, which is sad, because they are all great.

    I can directly point to the Surf's Up album as my awakening to the environment. Because it was an album about social unrest and the abuse of the environment. This is a beautiful song written by Brian Wilson, while he was deep in his wilderness period. Guess which one of the band hated it? If you know the BBs the answer will be easy. Anyway, Brian got his way in the end:

    Who was it who first invented the Double-A side single? As far as I know, this wasn't. It wasn't even a Double-A side, but as a tiny child who used to put 7" singles on the family Dansette, I always thought this was. First is I Feel Fine:


    And here is the B-Side. I'm damned if I know which I prefer, and that's how it's been ever since I first put it on the record player. She's A Woman:


    To be honest, either could have been good enough to A-Side the other.
