In which Luther Russell and myself detail our picks for the things in the vault known to exist, group and solo, that we one day hope for Apple to release, in well-presented packages. This episode was the live round-the-world broadcast we did from Chicago back in September 2020, powered by in.live (thanks David Simon!) and that is why you get to hear a bit of the city in the background, along with loads of rare audio detailing what we’re talking about.
Happy Holidays to all and onward and upward in 2021!
I’m sure you’ve figured this out, but “Sharing You” is a Bobby Vee song, sung by George.
Wonderful show! Is it too early to ask for all 56 hours (all video?) of Let It Be that Peter Jackson has gone thru?
Just wondering if that portion of “Return To Pepperland” you’ve played in the podcast was something downloaded from a certain ‘zone, Robert?!! Sounds like it might be one of the versions (and I uploaded quite a few) which I’d prepared and shared there in February 2020…!!! I managed to get the track (which sounded like a cassette dub) sounding crisper and cleaner (and seamlessly edited out the Nelson Mandela reference which made the track very dated).
As for “Carnival Of Light” being the precursor of “Revolution 9”, a case could be argued that the second half of “I Am The Walrus” is just as much a precursor, with John Lennon’s acid-drenched madness given some clear-headed guidance by George Martin. I don’t think Paul McCartney has staked a claim on being the brains behind that…!!!
Along with the Hamburg tapes, I’d like a recording of best takes (performance and audio quality wise) of every song they ever performed live on tour with no more than one performance of each song.
A nice clean copy of the 1964 Washington DC Coliseum concert would be nice. Maybe paired with something else. Enough to fill a disc with at least 60 minutes worth of programming.
