Julian Lennon not only longed for this but received it loud and clear. The message he interpreted from his late father John Lennon was so meaningful that it changed his life and motivated him to change the lives of others.

What many fans don't know is it's a cover of a song from the 1960s. The Beatles could have released their own rendition, but John Lennon and Paul McCartney were less interested in covers when they could create hits of their own.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,360 Posted March 19, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted March 19, 2020 Paul McCartney ‘psychedelic piano’ designs saved from a skip to be sold at auction Sketches and designs for Paul McCartney’s psychedelic piano – commissioned by the Beatle for the 1967 ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ – are to go up for auction, 20 years after they were found in a skip. Builder Andy Clynes rescued the discarded papers while working on a project in Manchester in 1999, before storing them in his attic and forgetting about them. Recently he decided to have them valued and the drawings are now expected to sell for £2000 at an auction in Liverpool later this month. The piano’s decoration was designed by art collective BEV and painted by Dudley Edwards (the E in BEV), who lived with McCartney for a period in 1967. Originally used on the Beatles’ ‘Magical Mystery Tour’, McCartney has played the piano a number of times since, including for a performance at the 2014 Grammy Awards. As well as the piano designs, Omega Auctions will sell other papers obtained by Clynes in his skip haul later this year, expected to raise more than £10,000 in total. “I picked them out of the skip”, Clynes tells PA of finding the documents. “The case burst open as it was thrown in. It was raining and I just picked up what I could. I imagine there was a lot more there, but it was damaged”. Auctioneer Paul Fairweather adds: “It’s fantastic that such an important archive was recovered and even better for our vendor that it should prove a lucrative decision to save them from the skip. The designs of BEV encapsulate the optimism, excitement and free spirit of collaboration that ensures that the late 1960s endure in the popular consciousness even to this day”. The piano designs will be sold in a wider auction of Beatles memorabilia on 24 Mar.

I'm trying to find a track to show the two together but the voice on the Tame Impala track has too much low mid-range to be Lennon for me. And there you go. That low drop is a bit hard with Lennon's vocal range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,360 Posted June 24, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted June 24, 2020 The Beatles' 'Penny Lane' Namesake Wasn't In Honor Of A Slave Merchant Beatles fans can take a large sigh of relief — it turns out the street "Penny Lane" was named after doesn't have ties to slavery. Last week, in the midst of Black Lives Matter protests, the Penny Lane street sign in Liverpool was defaced after it was thought to be named in honour of James Penny, a notorious 17th-century slave merchant who vocalized opposition to abolition. If confirmed, the iconic road was in danger of being renamed. Thankfully, the International Slavery Museum debunked suspicions in a recent statement. “After speaking with Liverpool slavery historian Laurence Westgaph, Tony Tibbles, our Emeritus Keeper of Slavery History (also former Director of Merseyside Maritime Museum) and historian and blogger Glen Huntley, we have concluded that the comprehensive research available to us now demonstrates that there is no historical evidence linking Penny Lane to James Penny," the statement reads. "We are therefore extending our original review and setting up a participative project to renew our interactive display.” Historian Ralph MacDonald recently explained to Rolling Stone that he and a group of historians "have been working on this since about 2010 together — if not slightly earlier individually. It’s been an academic debate, really. So it’s a bit of a surprise to us all, to be honest. We’re sort of taken aback. We’re not used to this larger media interest in the names of streets going back to this, you know, 17 and 1800s — it’s not the usual thing that makes the news.” https://www.iheart.com/content/2020-06-22-the-beatles-penny-lane-namesake-wasnt-in-honor-of-a-slave-merchant/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 5,103 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I listened to the White Album again yesterday. It really could have used some editing, a very jarring experience listening to some of the greatest pop songs of all time followed up by some real stinkers.

I'm definitely more interested in the studio stuff because I think they really let their hair down and just enjoyed themselves more in those times. I do agree that its crazy they hvae 60hrs of footage that is unseen because you'd imagine after all this time someone would have put some of it together for show. can't wait to see the finished product in August this year.
