i guess this goes here:
Produttore dei Beatles colpevole di omicidio Phil Spector è stato condannato ad almeno 19 anni di reclusione per la morte di un'attrice. Oltre che con i Fab Four, lavorò con i Rolling Stones, Leonard Cohen, Cher

"there's a decent cover of This Wheel's On Fire, but you'd think everybody would have forgotten about it once The Band released their version"
this was more or less the original as i think the band album came out later. and it's also a great version, full of sexual tension and great organ work. credit where credit's due, this is a classic.
"although the title on the disc and record cover art is spelled with a space between Mac and Arthur"
and then there are the inverted commas... and the three dots... like, what was all that about?

amazing photo. eng (i think that was his nickname) must have had a really thick agent/manager. like, all he needed to do was get some classy casual gear - black cashmere turtle-neck sweater, grey hipster slacks - and he would have looked and sounded pretty much like the top of the bill.

'Ingelbert Pumperdinckle'
he was only big while his a/r man chose good songs: release me was a classic. he went downhill pretty quickly when the songs got bad. i think he was on the chicken in a basket circuit by the early 70s.

if i had the money i'd buy the place and have a top hole artist make a cool installation: working robots of budy and the crikets doing their act on stage and a robot audience - including the young boby, of course - digging the sounds and doing the watusi or the funky ptarmigan, or whatever the big dance of that year was.

maybe marty will rethink and do a "casting against type" like in that who's not there boby film/doc?
if i were producing i'd go for amy winehouse. she has the voice and the attitude. the tattoos can be pixelled out.

plagiarised by coldplay? that has to be about the most embarrassing thing that could happen to a songwriter.

hehehehe, almost as bad as the lyrics on the new boby album...
Here comes the song - 'new' 1967 George Harrison lyrics on display
Mark Brown guardian.co.uk, Friday 8 May 2009
It's not quite While My Guitar Gently Weeps - in fact it might even be described as sixth-form angst. But the newly discovered lyrics are undoubtedly by the hand of George Harrison and were deemed interesting enough to go on display todayin the same gallery that houses the Magna Carta and Shakespeare's First Folio.
The lyrics were found by Hunter Davies during research for a new edition of his official biography of The Beatles. Davies used to collect scraps of paper the Beatles threw to the floor of Abbey Road studios in London and keep them as souvenirs.
The newly discovered lyric reads:
Im happy to say that its only a dream
when I come across people like you,
its only a dream and you make it obscene
with the things that you think and you do.
your so unaware of the pain that I bear
and jealous for what you cant do.
There's times when I feel that you haven't a hope
but I also know that isn't true.
Written in 1967, when Harrison was 23 or 24, it must have been penned before the death of Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager, in August that year because on the back Epstein has written directions to his country house in Sussex.
The lyric joins others in the Treasures of the British Library gallery written by his band mates, including Help! and Yesterday. Jamie Andrews, head of modern literary manuscripts, said: "George's words are all that is left of the song. We can only guess what it would have sounded like."
Davies said: "I can't believe I'd kept George's lyric for all these years but had forgotten about it until now."

"he did something in liverpool for georgie - wonder why he didnt play raplh mctell' the streets of london at the roundhouse"
probably because george was a beatle and a personal friend of boby's and mctell is a second rate folk club singer who fluked one hit 40 years ago.
i never got to see any of the 60s concerts at the roundhouse and when i finally moved to london in the late 70s i seem to remember it was closed down as a music venue. i have vague memories of seeing a couple of "events" there: french circus, modern dance production (you couldn't say no, really, if the partner insisted). my abiding memory of the roundhouse is seeing it out of the left hand window every time the train from liverpool slid into london. a cool landmark. always got a buzz from that.

that sons and lovers by paul jones (ex manfred mann, ex early 60s london blues hero) has to be one of the biggest loads of shite ever recorded. can't remember hearing it at the time so maybe it was made specifically for the australian market.
