 1 Fab FABS

I'm loving my super deluxe new version of Let It Be. In some ways it's one of the least loved of Beatle records by fans but as it was the one that came out when I was 13, it had a great impact on me - all the Lennon banter, One After 909, the guitars on Let It Be, George's comment in For You Blue, the lyrics of Across The Universe...I love this album!! Now it's in super deluxe mode with a double album of outtakes and Glyn Johns' rejected, warts and all, mix from 1969 and more.

2 Don't Let Me Down

Incredible that my favourite Beatle song OF ALL TIME is all over this new super deluxe package but when the official/original Let It Be album came out IT WASN'T ON IT!! Instead it appeared on a B side and wow. Quality man. Quality.

3 Get Back

The book is out next Wednesday and the Peter Jackson 6 hour series is due in early November. Now there's a second promo for it - as if it was possible that I could be even more excited to watch this!

And then I watched the promo.

4 Peter Jackson's sneak peek - another viewing!

5 Fanny - Hey Bulldog

A Lennon song that Fanny took by the scruff and did a great job.

Overtime: 

Here's the moment when the package arrived from JB Hi Fi (fantastic service from them as I had pre-ordered this months ago and my local courier to get it to me on the day of release in NZ). Jerry can smell genius!

James Whatley is back into his newsletter (does anyone do one better?? Love to see that!). So this list came from a link shared by James. Welcome back dude. Much missed!

Ha ha - since 1970 there have been endless stories like this one - Let It Be (may, possibly, but who knows) set for re-release in 2020 (or not). 

Why it takes nearly 5 decades to release a film to an adoring Beatles public is beyond me.

I have a DVD bought online (sourced from Canadian TV if memory serves) and it would be GEAR to see it in pristine condition or heaven forbid - in a new expanded format. Come on Paul. Let it happen!!

Great notices in The Guardian this week. I love his last few albums - and this is a great catch up from Rolling Stone.
