I just saw the new Beatles documentary, "Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years". It was directed by Ron Howard. As a bonus, after the doc they showed the Beatles' entire Shea Stadium '65 performance. Totally fab.

The Beatles were truly astonishing. You can only really appreciate it looking back on what they did all that time ago. I was maybe 9 years old when they burst onto the scene and of course it was pop music, but of a type we had never heard before. The stuff they did in the years '66-'70 have shaped what we have been listening to ever since.

Just watched a Youtube Television Concert yesterday from 1965 that was set at Wembley I believe and it was called NME Pollwinners Concert. I would love to post it but I don't know how to. There were many bands including the original Moody Blues, The Seekers, Freddie and the Dreamers, The Animals, The Rolling Stones, and The Kinks. The Beatles however were by far the class of the stage.

I saw this somewhere else and I'm wondering who the target buyer is. I mean, most Beatles fans own these albums on CD and vinyl and there's already great stereo and mono boxsets out, which I think might be cheaper in the long run. I guess it's a cool deal for younger fans or people who wants to complete their collection. The magazine and the 7 subscription gifts are a nice bonus on top.

Two big reasons for gearing preference towards the vnyl pressings of Beatles music.1)-All music from the period was done analog,so for me it only stands to reason that,they should sound more "natural" when payed back in correspondent technical form (I.e.our old friend,the phonograohic turntable.When they transfer older music,they break everything down sound bit by sound bit to appear to have been recorded that way.This is what detracts from the natural aspects od things.2-)It's not just about the music.Playing records is just plain more fun than pushing buttons on a Cd player..Any vinyl devotee such as myself
knows EXACTLY what I mean'........
