OK, I've made a Paul thread now.... http://maccaboard.paulmccartney.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=2772356#2772356

Just checked the Amazon Canada website and they have them there for $195 which is considerably cheaper than the US site! I ordered one...it may have been the last one (sorry! ), but it says more are on the way. I was a bit hesitant to order it at $195 as I have a feeling that these will be clearanced at some point because the price is so absurdly high. But at $195 it comes to about $11.50 a disc.

There seems to be a stack of Japanese Beatles bootlegs available on Amazon. I cant believe Amazon are not being slapped with legal writs to cease selling this stuff.

Unless they are officially licensed by Apple for Japanese release only and they are limited releases. I believe that to be the case. I have seen other Japanese "mini-LP's", Led Zeppelin in particular, and they are highly desirable CDs. In some cases they are even special remasters. I have a mini-LP of Physical Graffiti and it is an exact replica down to the smallest detail, even with the cut-out windows on the cover, and the sound is incredible.

Well if they are licensed for Japanese release only. The fact that they available worldwide on Amazon defeats this kind of restriction. In this internet age there is really no such things as borders when it comes to buying goods. They tried to do it with region zones for DVD, to try and battle piracy and protect manufacturing in Europe & America from cheap imports from China & SE Asia etc, but it failed. I don't think they bother anymore making DVD's only playable in certain regions.

Actually they do, because the DVD's have to be compatible with the machines made for those countries. Blu-ray may be different however.

Yes you are quite right that DVD's are stll made for 6 different regions and Blu-ray is also region specific but there are just 3 regions . But as people have posted in this thread it seems quite easy to get players that will play any DVD no matter what region.

The new sleeves are bigger , but I can put up with that !

Here's a funny story...when my buddy Tom (huge Beatles fan) and his brother bribed their way into sitting in Lennon's limo at the Dakota back in the 70s, he said when they went into the back seat that Lennon had a fold down turntable in the back I thought this was a bit odd for a car. He did say it was kind of cheapie/plasticy though. You'd think a guy like that would have had a custom mounted Marantz 6300 or something high end. But then again a turntable in a car?? It wasn't like casettes weren't around then and certainly with his money he could have mounted a reel-to-reel unit. Still can't believe he was able to get into that car!

He bought the car I believe in late '66, early '67 (not sure of purchase date, but it was a '65 model), so there were no cassettes yet.

They were around Nancy, not widespread though. The fabs were using cassettes in 1965 for home use etc...amongst their other gadgets.

Yeah, just those rich folk with their "cement ponds" and such could afford them! (that was a Beverly Hillbillies reference for you youngsters and Brits--not sure about Aussies!)

I was more of a Get Smart kind of guy, but I remember those Hillbillies!... That Ellie May....

George Harrison Tribute ‘Concert for George’ Set for Theatrical Run

http://variety.com/2018/film/news/george-harrison-tribute-concert-for-george-theatrical-run-1202691580/

We sang Ob La Di Ob La Da in the school choir and my 8 year old Son had yo learn Let It Be for his school Choir

Yes, Tony's voice is not good, I can hear that, but I can never judge a drummer, or a guitarist; to me they often seem to do the same. The whole thing strikes me as somewhat tragic. Did they really enjoy playing? And that "John", really strange!

that would be interesting to see not the teeth part though

Okay, mine is Nina Reynzo! Oh well, at least my first name is Stella's middle name!

in my wife

Or maybe "Got To Get You Off Of My Wife"

Thanks, Erik! Yes, I've lusted after a pair of Beatle boots since I was 13, I hope to get some someday, as well as some of the jackets on that site (I know the fellow who runs that site/company, he's a good guy). As a grown man with a wife and kids, I have to be a bit more subtle in my style, ie my glasses and sideburns and the occasional mustache...don't think my wife or kids would want to be seen in public with me trying to sport a Beatle haircut now!

We also know in latter years John Lennon was collecting Beatles bootlegs, one suggestion is he leaked some of his own tapes though it can't be proved.

The legend I've heard is that he often traded his Beatle recordings/outtakes with people who collected bootlegs of other artists that he admired like Elvis and whatnot. I have an old Goldmine magazine issue from around '92 that includes an interview with Ringo. He was asked if it was true that John traded Beatle outtakes for boots of other artists, and he simply smiled and replied, in a bit of dark humor, "You'd have to ask John that."

Got this book/box over the holidays at Barnes and Noble. Reading it now. I wanted to chime in and say this book is a must read. One of the best books ever written about the band! 10/10.

I would like to know how you got the picture larger without losing the DPI or did you scan it again? And that may be the first time I saw him without a hat.

I took a picture of the actual photo (with my cellphone) and emailed it to myself & Erik. He cropped it and enlarged it for me. Yeah--no hat! he was balding at 37 as you can see.

That is Ron Griffiths (poor) attempt at the lead to Come And Get It. The band was then called the Iveys and Paul had all 4 guys try the lead. Thankfully he picked Tom Evans. (Did you hear Paul at the end of the "audition" say "We'll let you know." )

P.S. Tom looked a lot like Lawrence Juber then. (I mean the LJ of 1979)
