Vinyl is better, the original has been on my list for a while.

The mystery of the cover has been solved; for years I thought it was the middle line of a road, but now flipping through the booklet, it becomes clear that it's nothing more than the plan of a little wall. In fact, inside there's a photo of Linda sitting on the wall next to the small dish with cherries. There are other shots that capture this theme, like that of a little bird flying over the bowl.

Hi, the Beatles rehearsed "Teddy Boy," with Lennon mimicking Paul in an ironic version, "Junk," and then stopped, as far as I know. "Maybe I'm Amazed" was never rehearsed, and it's the only gem from the group's later period that Paul kept for his album, while "Get Back," "Let It Be," and "I've Got A Feeling" were all intended for the band. George Harrison commented that the record, released before "Let It Be" in April '70, was partly disappointing and rushed but at least contained three great songs, "Every Night," "Junk," and "Maybe I'm Amazed." Lennon, on the other hand, was amazed by the simplicity of the recording and kept that in mind for his debut with "Plastic Ono Band." When Paul presented the record, he also announced his departure from the group, in a press conference held at Apple while George was busy upstairs in an interview. A curious thing.

I would say no to the title of greatest keyboardist in the history of rock; he lacks humility and balance, and his career with ELP has clearly demonstrated that.

Thank you for the comments.

One can rightly debate the "what" directed but not the "how," which is pure cinema and revolutionary art. The underwater shots from the late career are also very interesting. There's no question about being a great director.

Finally, you have brought forward the tangible proof that most of the trash post-'76 is the work of Banks; "Invisible Touch" is truly his masterpiece.

Even "The Garden of the Virgins.." deserves it, I don't know "Marie Antoinette" but the latter is truly annoying.

Thanks to Roby86. I reviewed the track because it marked the beginning of a new phase for the group; it's a low-quality pop piece, very artificial, created by a group that is not yet accustomed to producing songs of this kind. The esteemed company Banks and associates is yet to come.

A big one, no doubt about it.
