Please see my introduction and explanation about this project here. For this entry I am not using the officially released soundtrack as in the box sets, but instead the Yellow Submarine Songtrack. Because I can. With Help! and Hard Day’s Night being full albums and not the soundtrack albums that Yellow Submarine was, I figured…
Please see my introduction and explanation about this project here. At times I absolutely love Abbey Road as one of my favorite Beatles albums, and other times I simply can’t listen to it. Interestingly, Abbey Road was recorded after the sessions for Let It Be, but released ahead of what would be the film’s soundtrack. While…
Please see my introduction and explanation about this project here. Beatles Week 2016 continues with what is probably my least favorite album in the Beatles catalog – Let it Be.

For Christmas this year Laura received from the kids (and me) Adele’s three (so far) albums. They are quite good. The quality of the singles she has released from each are matched by the remaining songs on those albums. But those are not the only albums new to our home. Through a combination of gift cards with…
This year my life is so hectic I am unable to plan out and execute my normal Beatles Week posts. I am, however, able to get something posted, so here we go. Tell Me Why and BeatleSongs have no real information regarding these recordings. Here is the single version of “Christmas Time (Is Here Again)” taken from the…
This year my life is so hectic I am unable to plan out and execute my normal Beatles Week posts. I am, however, able to get something posted, so here we go. Tell Me Why and BeatleSongs have no real information regarding these recordings. Recorded separately because the band was essentially broken up, this final Christmas message…
