I knew it was something like that, yeah. Still, Ringo was the last one out of the room, and Long & Winding turned out the lights on the charts.
Anybody know why/how Ob-La-Di got issued as a single in the late 70s? WTF was that? I mean, I bought one just to have it, but was there some secret publicity move that I missed that necessitated a "new" Beatles single made of two old songs?
It was part of program in 1976 by Capitol to promote & sell the music all over again. "Got To Get You Into My Life" was another song released in '76 as a single. The LP comp. Rock & Roll Music had been released that summer as well. Live At The Hollywood Bowl came out the next. As far as why that (horrid) song you got me, other than it had been a single for another group, so perhaps Capitol thought it was chart-worthy.
Horrid? Dude:
