The Beatles Bible - Topic: Paul to work on another John track? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/paul-to-work-on-another-john-track/ Simple:Press Version 5.2.6 Von Bontee on Paul to work on another John track? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/paul-to-work-on-another-john-track/page-2/#p59120 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/paul-to-work-on-another-john-track/page-2/#p59120 See, I DO remember the Anthologies; and as a longtime Beatles fanatic who was largely indifferent to their solo careers (especially the post-'80s solo careers), the excitement was the fact that they had finally opened the vaults to the unheard stuff, not that they had used some gimmicky technology to create a new "Beatles" song. If they had taken '60s recordings and overdubbed new vocal and instrumental parts overtop, I'd have been FURIOUS! (The bits of editing and simulated composite takes that they DID create were bad enough.)

Everywhere I went people laughed at it the other day. I didn't really know how to react, they were right, they don't look very good on it BUT it's The Beatles, you don't laugh at The Beatles, you just don't. Anyway, the next day I uploaded lot's of photos of them onto my phone, photos in which they really don't look ugly (or anything close), and I went around showing them to anyone who mentioned them.

Going off topic saw new official Beatles memorabilia in Glasgow; tshirts, travel mugs etc and some mugs. 1 mug had an unflattering picture of John's face in 1963. I found a pic online.Beatles - Mug Live in Concert

This is hilarious. I simply gave my opinion that given the choice between an album of old standards and an album of duets to some of John's demos, I'd rather have the duets.

I'm sure the novelty of it occurs to him as far as buyers are concerned, but I think Paul wants to do it simply because he wants to sing on a track with John. Sounds sappy…but it is Paul.

But he wouldn't be really singing "with" John!

If he did such a thing to remind himself of the experience of REALLY harmonizing with John, that's a little weird and a little sad, but kinda ...]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2012 21:16:31 +0100 meanmistermustard on Paul to work on another John track? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/paul-to-work-on-another-john-track/page-2/#p59094 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/paul-to-work-on-another-john-track/page-2/#p59094

I agree.  Going back to the well at this point smack of shameless exploitation, even if it might be something to cross-promote some of the 50th-anniversary releases.

"Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" were pleasant but ultimately unnecessary.

 

I'd suggest that Paul mine his solo years for outtakes, demos and whatnot, but having heard a lot of it there really isn't a lot of quality material out there.

Those two "Anthology" resurrections weren't great but the very least they had a novelty/symbolic appeal: All Four Beatles Make A "New" Record! And as long as the three survivors were involved, you could rationalize that they "might" have persuaded John to release those records. (Or at least outvoted him.) By comparison, Paul turning a John solo song into a DUET comes across as pure egotism. Not a good idea.

Free as a bird and real love are enough imo. I would prefer to hear the many still unreleased tracks of wings (cold cuts, the other songs from the red rose speedway double lp) and i'm sure there are stillmany awesome ones by john too, although some have been released (real love, free as a bird, menlove ave.) I think free as a bird is a quite boring song, real love is one of my favourite beatles songs though

And anyway whats the point? To hear Paul in 2013 duet with John from 1980 on a home record? We got FAAB and RL which were ok (taking away the whole Beatles record again emotional factor), let that be the end of it.

I understand that there are mixed feelings about those 2 songs. I would not put them in the same class as any epic Fab songs, but I do like them.

How's this for a radical idea? We all know that Macca likes to do project albums every once in a while (i.e. Kisses...).

 Not Guilty was included as part of the anthology 3 release, packaged in a way that it was clear it was an outtake from the White Album sessions and thats how its view. If Paul was to release a new track with John it would be viewed as part of his catalogue, i dont see a way it wouldnt be.

If Paul wants to go back there then thats up to him but where is the benefit apart from revisiting his 20's?

Honestly, the fact they might release this is beyond me. Totally beyond me. If Paul wants to fiddle around, see how it'd sound, that's his right. But don't release it Paul. It's a joke.

Two replies to that MMM.

For one, I don't think people assume it will be great because its 2 of the 4 Beatles.  Sure it will be measured that way, but I think more people (at least the people who post here) will have the sense to go "Oh, this isn't The Beatles but its kind of neat"  It would just be an interesting idea.

Plus, we don't have any idea what Macca is thinking, or planning to do.  Sure he has said some things that do not pan out. But maybe to him its more personal and he wants ...]]> Tue, 09 Oct 2012 22:32:32 +0100
