Yea Refugio, I found them the same way. I really like the covers of all those great old songs.

Have you listen to any of their original music yet?

Now this is my opinion. You can agree or disagree.

The Beatles were a group that was always progressing pushing the envelope. If you play the first to the last album they made. The progression is amazing. There are not too many bands out there who can state that claim. It all started with Meet the Beatles and ended with Abbey Road.

I loved every phase they went through the Teenybopper era. The albums were great. I would not have wanted to see them live then. With all the mania going on. You would not be able to hear them. All those screaming girls.. No..

Then you got a taste of things to come with Help. The song itself is a masterpiece.

Then Yesterday & Today, Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Peppers were definitely the best 4 albums made in a row. Hands down. Magical Mystery Tour the music was good. The movie stunk. That was Paul’s project and he failed. The only good thing John said about it was it had the Walrus on it. This started the last phase where things were going south. There was a lot of friction within the Band. The writing was on the wall once Brian Epstein passed. A lot of fighting between Paul and the other three. It effected their music. Let it be, was a disaster. I hope you have seen this movie. Another Paul project and a lot of fighting. There a scene where Paul is telling George how to play guitar. George states he will do what every he wants him to do or will do nothing at all. They also did not want George Martin to produce this album Let It Be. Phil Spector did. The climax reached the end when Paul wanted to have Linda father John Eastman to manage the group. John, George, & Ringo wanted Alien Klein. The Stones manager at the time to managed them.

Here I thought that would be a conflict of interest with Paul wanting Eastman. My opinion. Plus I heard Paul say many times the way the Beatles worked was they all had to agree.

The one good thing that happen before the brake up. They approached George Martin and said they wanted to do one last album before they broke up. Martin said on one condition they let him produce it like the old days. So the last album was made. Abbey Road is a great album. Which shows that if the four lads stopped the fighting they were the best band on the planet. I always wonder what would have happen if they stayed together and made some more music. I almost think John might still be alive still. We shall never know.

Yea, Yea, Yea…..
