That was in response to my post that the single version is better, including the guitar solo
― Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, December 8, 2021
I thought you said they were "correct," which I can understand. I can even understand an idiosyncratic personal fondness for the version first imprinted. "better" tho... just can't get my head around it.

I took a little one-speaker jam box to camp with me one summer and all the Beatles records taped off on to cassette.
It wasn't until I got there that I realized that for some reason, the album wouldn't all play through the one speaker, like an artificial mono (imagine someone playing you a stereo record over the phone.) Instead, I only got one of the two channels.
It was a long two weeks.

Any takers on this thread for the theory that they sing the word “nonpareil” on “Kansas City”?

I really dig the mono version of Help! - It's faster and has a different, rougher lead vocal. Was redone due to some sort of syncing with the film issues. The fidelity of the link below sucks, but it's the best thing available online:

(They weren't. Just sounded that way.)
I know, right!?
Also, if you all missed the POB reissue that came out earlier this year, there's a bunch of great stuff that makes for a good addendum to Get Back:

Crazy in retrospect how 1970 produced FIVE albums of all-new material from the Beatles. Granted Ringo's was covers/standards and a lot of Paul's feels tossed off, but still it's a ridiculous bounty for Beatle fans, and John and George's albums are still the two best solo albums.
― birdistheword, Wednesday, 8 December 2021 21:28 (two years ago) link
Plus, George's counts as double

even better, it's SIX albums - Ringo had two! (and both pretty good ones.) American fans also got the Hey Jude album, not "all new" of course, but a "first time on LP" affair that would have helped complete some collections.

it feels like a generation of time passed between shea stadium and twickenham
Candlestick was over a year after Shea. Crazy to think only 2 years and just under 4 months passed between that show and the rooftop.
― octobeard, Thursday, 9 December 2021 00:32 (two years ago) link
just under 5 months... my bad. Either way it's one of the things that blows me away with that era of music - artists were insanely prolific, especially the Beatles. Really helped to stopped touring I guess.
― octobeard, Thursday, 9 December 2021 00:34 (two years ago) link
What's also strange to consider is that, when they're talking about their Hamburg days in Get Back, they're not talking ancient history - they had last played a residency there only six years earlier.

God, Billy Preston showing up just brings everything together.
Let it Be obv not a top tier Beatles album, but the sound once they get to Apple is so awesome - splits the difference between the White Album and Abbey Road.

They spent, what, a fucking week at Twickenham? Two weeks?
All this time, it seemed like they had to sit there for an entire winter.

count me among those who had always had the sense they were at Twickenham for at least, idk, two months. must be George's "winter of discontent" comments.

The brown Tele is all rosewood - even reissues go for like 5 grand unless you get one of the later Japanese ones which is just veneer rather than solid. Even with internal chambering they weigh a ton. Fender made it as a gift for George. They also made a matching Strat for Hendrix but he died before they gave it to him.
