That alternative I Feel Fine clip that Mark G mentions upthreadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zhQ7nCoRp4
I've never seen it either until now! Seen many stills from it over the years.

Also, their version of "A midsummer night's dream"..
It wasn't until I saw a full production of the play, that I realised it's supposed to be as raucous as their version is. (It's the play from within the main body of the play, at the end..)

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/11/beatles-itunes-first-week.html
Apple announced Tuesday that 450,000 Beatles albums and 2 million individual tracks were downloaded during the first week they went up online. That translates to well more than $8 million spent on Beatles downloads out of the gate, using the single album download price of $12.99 and $1.29 per song. It doesn’t take into account several double albums priced at $19.99 or the digital Beatles box set that iTunes offers for $149.
At the same time the Beatles finally joined the digital world, Amazon began discounting the remastered physical CDs that were released last year, with individual albums now selling for $7.99, double sets for $11.99 and $12.99 and the 16-CD stereo box set priced at $129.99, making the tangible versions cheaper than the virtual ones. Consequently, six Beatles titles are in the Top 100 of Amazon’s ranking of its bestselling music titles as of Tuesday.

Amazing to me that someone would rather pay almost twice as much for an iTunes download than a physical CD. Guess Steve Jobs really is a genius.

amazon is discounting them, not apple.

Right - I mean that you'd pay $12.99 for an iTunes download vs. $7.99 for a new CD from Amazon, like these 450k people did.

Is it still not possible to download single tracks by The Beatles from iTunes? I mean, not that it matters to me, I have the CDs and prefer CDs, but it has sucked how the most important band of all time hasn't been available for the kids to discover.

Geir, you can absolutely download individual Beatles tracks from iTunes.

― Mark G, Wednesday, 24 November 2010 12:47 (thirteen years ago) link
OK, makes more sense then. Because that is what the kids will do.
They still cannot download individual Pink Floyd tracks, but I sort of understand Gilmour and Waters there, even if it means it is harder for the kids to discover their music.

Sometimes, yes, but not in this case. 70s Pink Floyd are much better than most of what current kids are into.

I dunno if the kids will bother d/l Beatles tunes based on what was on X-Factor.
Mind you, if they chose one of:
WaitBaby You're a Rich ManBirthdayFlyingRain
they might have fun.
Fun is the one thing that money can't get from a download of Pink Floyd 70's tracks.
(xpost I was going to go "Shine on U crazy Hongroe, but thought better of it)
― Mark G, Wednesday, 24 November 2010 14:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Out of those four, only "Rain" and to some extent "Wait" sound like The Beatles at all.
"Baby You're a Rich Man" is probably the weakest thing they did in the entire 1967.

Geir, on a totally separate t'ing, have you seen Harry Enfield's current comedy series, he does a sketch series about The Beatles if they'd never taken drugs. basically, they are all old, still together, and making merseybeat...
― Mark G, Wednesday, 24 November 2010 14:43 (thirteen years ago) link
I haven't. It might be fun although in reality they'd be more likely to sound like McCartney or Harrison's solo efforts. :)
― You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Wednesday, 24 November 2010 14:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Like, I guess everything they did after the mid 80s would be produced by Jeff Lynne. :)
Probably.
In reality, though, McCartney's solo efforts are about as "result of smokin too much" as you'll ever hear.

Well... He was the one smoking the least of all four. (Apart from maybe Ringo, but as far as his solo career goes......)

he's a giant pothead, I feel it's safe to say most of his tunes are actively about pot

OK, maybe if I'd smoked weed as well, these lyrics may have made sense: :)
We wasted time and again, On things, things we already knew. Born to do, I give my love to you.
Whenever you get some time, Whenever you get some time, I'd like to roll it all up in ball, And spend it with you. You've got the power of love And love has the power to make it come true.
We can go through our love, We can do things that they said were impossible. Through our love, We can do all that we want to do. We can go through our love, We can go through our love.
Yeah.
Whenever you will be mine, Whenever you will be mine, I wanna to be with you, Just wanna do whatever feels right. You've got the power of love And love has the power to turn on the light.
Here we go through our love, We can see things that they said were invisible. Through our love, We can see where we are going to. We're going through our love, Through our love we can learn to do things That they said were impossible. Through our love, We can be blessed with a better view. We can go through our love, We can go through our love, We can go through our love.

― Jazzbo, Wednesday, 24 November 2010 14:56 (thirteen years ago) link
1967 was generally The Beatles' artistically best year, but not that one. Not so much "Flying" either. They did a lot of fantastic twee psychedelia that year though, and too bad they abandoned that fantastic style already a year later.
