Yeah but you know on Todd's last album there were a couple of cuts 
purportedly to be from Up Against It.(The smell of money!) It actually
reminded me of some bad Annie type of musical. Todd deserves Wilbury

I'd forgotten about the Decca tapes, though I don't think it really counts

Another question is non-originals done by both Holly and the Beatles.
The only one I can think of at the moment is Ready Teddy on R&R, but
that's Lennon rather than the Beatles. Any others?

Organization: UCLA Mathematics Department
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 93 06:03:34 GMT

I'm used to a lot of peculiar history, even earnest
revisionism on occasion, but this one takes the
cake. No pun intended.

Apparently George Harrison gave an interview to Billboard
Magazine in December (so reports the Beatles Book) during
which he mentioned that his birthday was not, in fact, on
25 February 1943, as previously espoused in all available
sourcebooks and sacred tablets.

He was, in fact, born at 11.42p on *24* February 1943.

I'm not sure what this means re: past commemorative acts
on behalf of the Quiet One's special day. You know: bowing
toward Liverpool and lighting incense and recitations. I'm
sure you've all done this sort of thing *thousands* of times.
What about all those inaccurate observances? Must they be
done all over again to correct the error?

I'm just baffled as to the Straight Facts. "The Beatles
A to Z" even reproduces a reproduction of Mr. Harrison's
esteemed birth certificate, wherein it states that George
was born on 25 February 1943, at 12 Arnold Grove (a home
birth, proponents of the politically-correct should note).

If we can't trust official documentation, whom can we
trust? The fey Mr. Harrison M.B.E.? Surely not...since
he obviously played along with the charade all these
years (if a charade it was). He could have easily
corrected all those pop-star biographies that were
sent to passels of fan magazines. What else are we
given to suspect? That George *wasn't really* 5'11'',
brown-haired or enamored of steak-and-chips and the
colour purple? Heaven help us, if so.

Is this, perchance, some reconfiguration of the events
based on subsequently-known evidence? Were all the clocks
in the Harrison abode accidentally set 18 minutes fast,
with this announcement simply an attempt to correct the
record? Was George's birth originally calculated at
Greenwich Mean Time (as time is counted at the Royal
Observatory), while Liverpool Mean time is eighteen
minutes slower? Or is there some tax savings for a
birth on the 25th instead of the 24th? Maybe a conjunction
of planets on the 24th, giving George a cosmic advantage
if he tweaked his birthdate to conform to some blessed
event in Eastern mythology?

I'm open to suggestions.

All I know is that the great day will be shortly upon
us---the Fab One's fiftieth. 

And for those of us planning a proper bash for the party
boy---who will be, as usual, in absentia, but will be
toasted royally nevertheless---we'd like to know when
to don our party hats.

I'm impressed, my new FAQ list has been around less then a week, 
and already someone posts a question that was answered by it :-)

So, quoting from my very own video list FAQ:

Wings Over the World -- This television special also covered McCartney's 
1976 world tour.   But, unlike "Rockshow" this special covers the entire
tour, and you get a sense of what it's like for the band to be shuffled
from place to place, and what touring is like for them.

alas and alack, this special falls under the category of "video wish list",
which means that it is *not* available on VHS.  Now, I will tell you that
you can get lo-fidelity dubs from collectors (Michael Meshew is one such
gentleman around on the net), but if you just want to *see* the special,
it will suffice.

Yes. we had the "American Format", "British Format", and
"Japanese Format" of course :-). Furthermore, we could get
other country's format (e.g. German, Holland, Italy ...)
released by the Japanese company (toshiba EMI).

But all of them are out of catalogue now. 
discs we can get now are 15 official CDs (also available on
red vinyl) and live at Hollywood Bowl (available only on vinyl).

Another nice complicated subject!   In all countries there are a lot of label
variants etc etc but the issues usually sported the same catalogue number
for quite a few years.  In Japan, there seems to been tendency to reissue
the albums and also give them revised catalogue numbers (and even covers in
the case of the singles) in the process -
I have often thought this might have coincided with a change
in price - as they sleeves often have the Yen value on themas well(?).
First off though it would be handy to know the titles/record numbers
and whether they are on Odeon or Apple label, and furthermore whether they are
they pressed on black or red vinyl.

Actually, it's currently in print again.  The nice Rubber Soul-ish cover
has been replaced by a rather bland substitute, but the text remains the
same as the original edition.   It's too bad Schaffner never updated this
tome, as it remains one of the best looks at the four.

Those of you who have cable, and get "E!" the Entertainment channel
should be on the lookout for the Smothers Brothers repeat airing
this Thursday (1/7/93, check local listings for time in your area)

The program they will be airing was first aired on Sunday, November 17:
with guest stars Dion, and Donovan, and a special appearance by our friend
Mr. George Harrison.  It is interesting to note that the cameo was unannounced
before the original airing of the program, but the ads for this repeat 
prominently (and somewhat misleadingly) bill the program as "featuring special
guest star George Harrison".  Oh well, C'est La Vie

This marked the third appearance of Beatle-related material on the SB show,
with the "Hey Jude" and "Revolution" promos aired there earlier in that
year.   Presumably both of these programs will make appearances sometime this 
calendar year.

Which version of Yellow Submarine has been used for the video release?  My
understanding is that the original US release differed from the norm as it had
Hey Bulldog removed - can someone confirm this?  
Assuming this makes 2 versions, there is a 3rd which does have Hey Bulldog but
does not have Baby You're a Rich Man;  in place of Baby You're a Rich Man
(which fades in after Ringo puts his hole on the big glass ball) the
dialogue ("decanting"...) continues for about three minutes.  Since the
dialogue
usually overlaps Baby... it would seem that this is actually a different
proper cut as opposed to it being tampered with for broadcast.

Any more for any more?

The other prominent place where the sitar was used, other than
by UK pop bands, was at American Studios in Memphis, one of the
four most legendary soul music studios (the others: Stax/Volt
in Memphis, Hi Records in Memphis, and the various Muscle Shoals,
Alabama studios). I think it was Tommy Cogbill, the legendary
guitar/bass player who picked it up, and one of the best songs
recorded at American which features his sitar playing is the
fabulous Boxtops' "Cry Like A Baby", one of the choicest bits
of soul music you'll ever hear. Of course, now that Saki has
told us that "See My Friends" doesn't use a sitar, and because
I've screwed some memories recently, I hope no one is going to
tell me that it wan't Cogbill, and that it really wasn't a
sitar in "Cry Like A Baby" either.

After you finally come up with something, let us know whether it worked,
i.e., whether she gets what beatlemania was all about instead of thinking
you're crazy.  My offhand guess is that nothing written will do the trick.
Written stuff is for us true believers to figure out why.  I think the

My copy of "The Beatles Book" arrived today and it answered a
couple questions that have been hanging around r.m.b. for the
past few months.

Re: "The Making of Sgt. Pepper"---was it censored?

Apparently yes.

The version on the Disney Channel, shown late last year throughout
the U.S., was not the same version as was shown in England in
June 1992...as I suspected. Running times were different, first
of all. But the "Beatles Book" editors say flat-out that Uncle
Walt's Crew at Disney showed viewers in the States an "alternate"
"Making of...", with all references to drugs and drug-use by the
Fabs completely excised. In place of this offensive footage were
"extra clips of George Martin discussing John's lyrics, Paul
talking about songwriting with John, and George on his experiments
with Indian music...." 

I suppose one could look on the bright side and feel grateful
that the American copy had material the Brits didn't get. But
somehow I don't feel very grateful. 

Re: the multipart British video production of "The Long And
Winding Road" a history of the Fabs---it has a new name.

But it hasn't been finalized. "The Long and Winding Road"
that was is now definitely out. A replacement title of "The
Beatles--An Anthology" has been suggested. Perhaps the 
documentary makers could take a day or two and decide upon
something a bit snappier. :-)

Current plans are to continue making this documentary with
each year of the Beatles' existence being covered by an
approximately 75-minute video. Years 1962-64 are reportedly
complete, though Derek Taylor says that *two* episodes will
be dedicated to 1964, since it was such a power-packed year.
No finish date has been set. The production crew is apparently
more concerned about doing a proper history than meeting
deadlines, and that's a good sign. This documentary is,
BTW, the selfsame one for which the three Fabs have lent
their contributions---non-musical, one may suppose.

Re: "Let It Be", "Shea Stadium" films and Red/Blue Albums,
BBC Recordings---they're "in the queue".

Derek Taylor reports that whatever is left of Apple (now
called Apple Productions Ltd, which is also overseeing the
above video documentary) is moving ahead on various
projects, including a restored "Let It Be" film, a possible
rerelease of the Shea Stadium concert (no release date), and
eventual plans for rerelease of the Red/Blue compilations
and BBC recordings. No dates on any of these events. It may
be that official sanction from the Fabs must still be secured,
so don't hold your breath. But it seems that someone's finally
recognized that there's life in these projects...not to mention
money. :-)

I have an opportunity to purchase twenty-two 5" CD singles of The

a reviewer.]  How do these CDs differ from the Past Masters CDs?

The faster I can get the answer the better.  I put 'em all under the
counter, but I don't like to ask them to hold things too long.

While I'm on the subject of purchases:

I've just picked up The Lewisohn Chronicles.  Is this different from

of "The Book"?  [Payed $20 Cnd for it.]
