@marshall Totally! Love it all for the same reasons!
Thanks for the reply! Revolver is just a tremendous album. Rubber Soul might get the box set treatment next year, so, we'll see how that goes.

Hello all,
If this is not allowed, please delete it. Two days ago, my review of the Revolver CD box set was posted online. The link is below.
Until the Anthology in 1995, I don't think we ever thought we'd hear these Sessions type tracks properly released by The Beatles and Apple. The two Sessions discs in the Revolver box set are just tremendous. Got To Get You Into My Life with the fuzz tone guitars instead of the horns; John's work tape portion for Yellow Submarine; Rain played at the actual speed and on and on. It's really something that Giles and Sam were able to demix the parts from the four track tape and create the new mix.
Hello all,
Sorry for the shameless plug again. Earlier this week, my review/web article of the Let It Be Super Deluxe Edition CD box set was published online.
Here's the link:
Thanks,
Marshall

Watched them as a child, along with the 3 Stooges and The Little Rascals. The only episode that I can specifically remember is the one at the Haunted House, it must have scared me...
Nice to hear about the Blu Ray would like to get that, along with Stan and Ollie
Hi love2travel,
As mentioned earlier in the thread, I'm the same as you. I watched Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges, and The Little Rascals/Our Gang as a child, too. I think the Laurel and Hardy Haunted House film is The Laurel and Hardy Murder Case.
Marshall
Hi Marshall,
Thanks for the name of that one, I'll have to check it out! There probably wasn't that much choice of what to watch back then... fond memories that shaped my Donna Reed and I Love Lucy life. I do get nostalgic for yesteryear and enjoy the boxed sets.
L2T
Hi L2T,
You're welcome. I'm a fan of the classic TV shows of yesteryear, too. Lucy, Donna Reed, Leave It to Beaver, The Honeymooners, etc., they're all fun to watch years later.
Take care,
Marshall

My favorite Laurel and Hardy films are "The Music Box" and a silent film short they did called "Two Tars" which is on YouTube at
I also liked their film"The Devil's Brother" (aka Fra Diavolo) with Thelma Todd, which was a musical.
Have loved Laurel & Hardy since I was a small girl and our family would watch their films every Sunday night (after the Ed Sullivan Show) on a super 8mm projector. My Dad borrowed the films from his boss who was a L & H collector.
This is off topic but Harold Lloyd is another great silent era comedian who isn't talked about much anymore. When our family used to watch his films (in the 1960s & '70s) we would clutch our sides non stop in laughter, and not many comedians can make you laugh non stop. Check out his films "Hot Water" "Safety Last" and his greatest talkie "Feet First" which is on YouTube at
Should add that one reason why his films probably aren't shown much today is because he always featured an african american character actor named Stepin Fetchit (or another actor with similar image), who would be considered an unwelcome stereotype today. Harold Lloyd's comedic skills would be the only reason to view his films. He was a daredevil who didn't use stuntmen when he climbed the sides of tall story buildings, or stood on the edge of the top of a building and wobbled to pretend he was about to fall back over the edge, but somehow straightened himself up and never did.Have always felt an affinity with silent films and silent era film stars, my mom's aunt was a maid at the home of Richard Arlen & his wife actress Jobyna Ralston (they starred in "Wings" with Charles Buddy Rogers). She (my great-aunt) would tell me all kinds of stories when I was growing up about the stars she'd seen and what life was like in Hollywood then. I wish I would have gotten to keep her photos after she passed away, that she had shown me.
Back to topic... saw "Stan and Ollie" that was released a few years ago, and thought it was a wonderful tribute to Laurel & Hardy, and have it on DVD.
LadyLeslie,
Thanks for the nice message. The Music Box is a classic, and those steps are still around today (88 years later) in the Silver Lake area of L.A. Two Tars, I remember seeing as a youngster with my family. It was one of the Pops musical nights where I'm from (San Francisco Bay Area), and they played The Two Tars film on a big screen while an orchestra played.
Thanks for the YouTube links to Two Tars and Harold Lloyd's Feet First. I'm glad you like the Stan and Ollie film, too.
Marshall
P.S. I like that avatar you have of Paul and Martha!
You're welcome, Marshall! That is a nice avatar of Paul and Martha, I remember reading that Paul was really upset (naturally) when she passed away in 1982, she was a member of the family.
I'm glad you like "Two Tars" and "Feet First". That's great you got to see Two Tars on a large screen, with an orchestra!
Another film of L & H that should be mentioned is "Babes in Toyland" (aka "March of the Wooden Soldiers"). Love the part where Stan pretends to be Bo-Peep at the wedding, and wears the heavy veil. (Bo-Peep had to marry the evil Silas Barnaby or he would evict her old mother-- The Widow Peep--out onto the street. But 0llie found a way to trick him.
)
Hi again LadyLeslie,
Babes in Toyland (March of the Wooden Soldiers) is one of those Laurel and Hardy films I remember being played on local TV when I was a child. I definitely recall the wedding scene where Stan pretends to be Bo-Peep at the wedding.
It's true, pets really are members of the family 
. Also, I remember reading how on the cover of the Paul Is Live album, Paul is walking Arrow (one of Martha's grand-dogs) across the Abbey Road crosswalk.

NancyR,
I'm the same as you. I had to Google what a "gee-gee" is, too. Actually, I didn't know Paul was singing about Ollie Hardy in Junior's Farm until recently. I misheard the name as Holly .

Hello,
I apologize for the shameless plug again. Two days ago,my review of the Flaming Pie Archive Collection Deluxe Edition was published online. The link to the review is below.
I listened to both the original 1997 FP and the remastered 2020 FP with headphones. The remastered version has a warm sound to it, which is good. I'm not an audio technical expert , but I like the sound. The songs are still great, 23 years later. BTW, I still have my Club Sandwich original FP issue hiding in a box in the house.

I loved 'Stan and Ollie' - I know one of Steve Coogan's brothers very well, and when the film came out I overheard him receiving congratulations on his brother's film. I enjoy a lot of Steve's work including Alan Partridge, The Trip, and Philomena (another great film with Judi Dench).
My L & H favourites are the one about delivering the piano (is that the Music Box?) and one about selling Christmas trees. Actually they're all very good except for the postwar period which 'Stan and Ollie' deals with. My wife and I visited Ulverston in the Lake District where Stan was born - when you see it, you wonder why anyone would want to leave such a beautiful place !
Thanks for the response dirkmcquickly. Another Fan of The Music Box The christmas tree salesman film is called Big Business.
