Well, we're a thousand and something entries into Music Arcades, and no Beatles yet — just Lennon's contribution to Yoko's Plastic Ono Band. And now this. Can there be a slew of the Fab Four up ahead? As my mum used to say, Wait and see.
This was Christmas present from Lucy's older brother, after its 2005 re-release (now with more consumer-friendly cover: evidently pictures of starving children no longer sell records like they used to).
I think, inside, I might have been wishing it was All Things Must Pass
On the plus side, you do get some Bob and some Ravi Shankar thrown in with this one; and, mercifully, Eric Clapton stays in the background. Actually (warning: wannabe-elitist snob comment ahead), Bhangla Dhun is probably my favourite track.
Just checking a few dates-of-birth, and confirming that George had packed in the entire Beatles career, All Things Must Pass (the best selling album by a solo Beatle according to Wikipedia), and the Concert for Bangladesh, all before his 29th birthday. Phew! And how must it have felt never to come close to such heights again, pace Traveling Wilburys? I guess George — certainly my favourite Beatle — was probably better able to adjust than many would be.
I can be thankful that I don't have such problems. Neither do the likes of your contemporary pop musicians, like Keane, the youngest of whom reached 29 earlier this year before their third album was released. Just saying.
