Great LP, a polite debut with some concessions to the charts with the two singles. However, the solo Garfunkel deserves a lot of attention as well. Nice review!

George Harrison All Things Must Pass

I have the original triple: it comes in an elegant box set made of vinyl, containing three sleeves for the LPs inside. The third sleeve is different, in dark yellow, featuring the image of the "Apple Jam" jar, dedicated to jam sessions. Additionally, there was a poster of Harrison included, but mine no longer has it. If you find it on vinyl, buy it! It’s rare despite having sold a lot, indicating that those who have it don’t easily part with it. The CD version is double but loses all its charm.

I can tell you that it respects the novel quite well; it's logically an adaptation, but the feeling of cruelty and sadness for a horrific fate is conveyed in the film in the same way, perhaps even more so thanks to this cast of extraordinary young actors. The scene of Ruth's death is one of the most moving and heart-wrenching I've ever seen.

Pete Best was fired for being too nice, or so it was said. He was replaced by Richard Starkey, a long-time friend from the Hamburg days when he played with his band. The late Stuart Sutcliffe was never replaced, and Paul switched to bass; the early Beatles were dirty, bad, and definitely not to be trusted.

"Heaven Can Wait" true! By the way, he did it just to scrape together money for "Reds"....."Shampoo" is directed by Ashby.

It's a 45 RPM record.

It seems to me that this is Beatty's second film as a director after "Reds," charming and very successful in its genre.

For me, it's just a stylish record and a bit obsequious; the band has said everything with the previous 4 LPs.

The Beatles Past Masters - Volumes One & Two

George Martin stated that 45s were one thing and LPs were another. Including a single in a 33 was considered an act of rudeness towards the audience, who would find themselves with a duplicate. This explains the anthologies reviewed here; they include all the B-sides, including the elusive "You Know My Name (look Up The Number)." Nice review!
