Hey! Guess what?
Starting tomorrow is International Beatles Week.
This year it's going virtual but I think they are going to have some kind of celebration in Liverpool.

Check this space for more Beatles.

Although I love many kinds of music, my collection of recordings is very small. Somehow, when I acquire a recording, I don't quite get the same thrill when I hear it anymore. But "Abbey Road" is the only Beatles record I have. I heard something from it on the radio the other day; I'll have to play it this weekend (as part of my Beatles Week observance...)

Thanks, @Lou !

More Beatles. May I say transcendent?

The Beatles Anthology project was a huge undertaking and to complement the historical and archival material that was made available both on CD and on video, the band recorded two new tracks. Released in December 1995, ‘Free As A Bird’ was the first of the new songs. Instead of recording a completely new composition together, Paul, George and Ringo created a track based on John’s 1977 demo, recorded at his and Yoko’s home in the Dakota in New York City.

Jeff Lynne, a good friend of George Harrison’s and a fellow member of the Travelling Wilburys, was drafted in to help with production. The ‘Free As A Bird’ video had it’s first public outing on America’s ABC TV on Sunday November 19th 1995, and the track was subsequently aired on BBC Radio 1 the day after – the day before Anthology came out. The single release followed two weeks later and made No.2 on the UK charts, while in the US ‘Free As A Bird’ enjoyed an 11-week run on the best-seller list, peaking at No.5.

Joe Pytka, a talented American filmmaker who had made several music videos with Michael Jackson, directed the beautiful video. The visual concept was a ‘bird’s-eye-view’ of countless Beatles songs.

I had "The Beatles Antology" movie on VHS cassettes (we managed to record it from tv, and it was with russian translation!). It consisted of 6 big parts. I re-watched (binge-watched) it many many times...countless.

And to put the finishing touches on Beatles Week, let's take a trip to the Cavern Club. This is the pub where it pretty much all started. The club was still open (before the pandemic) and normally is the HQ for Beatles week. also if you check out some of my MonaLisa Twins posts you will see them playing in the club which looks the same 60 years later.

Priceless! I was very fortunate to have seen these guys play live.

I find it quite a decent composition of throat singing. The slideshow is very pretty either.

The world could use a little boogie about now.
