      Guys - it's clear as day on the Beatles.com website - "feature-length film in theaters August 27"; THEN - the 6-hour documentary on Disney in November...

      They still have the old press release up, but this new one certainly seems to supercede it. Yesterday's press release never mentions a theatrical release, and every article I saw descibes the project as having become a three part documentary. If they still intend to release a version for the theatres in two months, they probably ought to say it again!

      I can't really complain about getting so much material. But I was kind of looking  forward to a version you could go see in the theatres. Wonder if they'll sell some kind of DVD version if if this is Disney Plus only. I can't imagine there would be a deluxe version of this though!

      Looks like the new movie and reissues won't be released until the fall.

    • RE: Newly discovered Beatles conversation tape Sept 8, 1969

      In interviews at the time and ever since, I don't think anyone said they "knew" Abbey Road was the end, but it was obvious that things were fracturing. At the time of this meeting, Klein was negotiating a new deal fwith EMI or them. So things weren't over yet. But this is where we'd really need to hear the tape to get the context. It seems like it could have been another 3 on 1 thing like with the Klein situation. It sounds like John and George were telling Paul he was only going to get four songs if they were going to continue and that they all hated Maxwell, etc. Would like to know if Paul's comment about George's songs came in response to this or not.

      Regardless, I cannot imagine John would ever have stayed in the group if it meant that he would get less than a third of the songs. It really sounds like putting Paul in his place to me. And we know that two weeks later, there was a meeting where Paul was throwing out ideas as to what to do next. John shot them all down and announced he was quitting.

      So while this tape should be interesting, it just doesn't seem to change the overall story to me. Things were falling apart, they agreed to work together like a group again for Abbey Road, and then things fell apart completely after that.

      I'd really need to hear the actual tape to get the context of this. (Not sure how he got a hold of it or why he won't release it). But while the tape may be new, I don't think the information changes very much. It's always been the story that Abbey Road wasn't necessarily the end. They were just generally talking about what things would be like if they continued, and then John said he was quitting two weeks later. I'm not sure how this "changes everything" about how we knew it.

      Looks like we get the best of both. We'll get a high-tech, restored new documentary that I'm sure will focus much more on the positives. Then we'll get the original as well. Can't complain at all here.

    • RE: EGYPT STATION

      Anybody know enough about the 2 bonus songs on the Target cd to know if they are worth tracking down? The pre-orders for Target are sold out, and Amazon is just easier in the first place. Thanks!

      Looks like we've got confirmation of a White Album box set on the way...
