  1. I was a bit unclear about this and I apolgize. When he authoritatively says, for example, that Paul is the guitar soloist on "Taxman", rather than George, as always assumed, I take him at his word. It's when he himself goes against those log sheets (my example of "We Can Work It Out" where the log sheets say George played tambourine but no it must be Ringo because Ringo played a similar rhythm elsewhere therefore George does not play on WCWIO, which he asserts several times on minimal aural evidence) without providing terribly persuasive evidence that I raise my eyebrows. Like I said, minor quibble.
  2. I, too, picked up Revolution in the Head thanks to the recommendation in this thread. I'm enjoying it very much, especially with the remasters on to accompany me. I'm with MacDonald about 75% of the time, though none of my disputes are major ones (I never outright LOVE any of the tracks he outright slags, though admittedly I'm only as far as Rubber Soul). I'm occasionally unconvinced when he tries to take claim for something away from the person to whom it's normally attributed (he seems really hung up on the idea that George does not appear on "We Can Work It Out" at all, for reasons he can't seem to fully justify, and brings it up a few times). The oddest example of disconnect for me is "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)", where he says that the voice of Dennis O'Bell is usually attributed to Ringo, but it sounds like him to George imitating Neil Innes from the Bonzo Dog Band, whose sound the track does in some ways resemble. But I've listened to it for many years and never has it seemed - and still doesn't - to be anyone but Paul, doing a standard lounge lizard bit. Anyway, the lounge lizard schtick in the Bonzos was entirely the domain of Viv Stanshall and "Legs" Larry Smith, not Innes, whose vocal stylings usually leaned towards McCartneyesque pop. Minor quibble. I'm still enjoying it very much and likely wouldn't have found it without the recommendation here, so many thanks.
  3. I'm happy to hear this, but wish the news had come two weeks ago, before I finally gave up on this ever appearing and bought MATING CALL, SOUL JUNCTION, and DIG IT....
  4. Everything except the "Ballad of John and Yoko" / "Old Brown Shoe" single, which I believe is not included on the mono Past Masters discs.
  5. Very weird, both from the point of view of the consumer and Concord. I picked up Vol.2 because I didn't own it (or Memorial Album) at all. I passed on Vol. 1 because I already have the K2. Had they added those two tracks, I (and I presume many others) would have upgraded. Bizarre... and inept.
  6. No idea, wouldn't surprise me. Just reporting what I see on the copy I just picked up, that it's not the 37 minutes suggested, but 67+. Edited to remove unintended snippiness.
  7. LMAO! Well, they certainly shouldn't complain about low sales numbers. To re-release an album with a playtime of just over 37 minutes when there is so much material available that they could add to it is really laughable. The entirety of the "Memorial Album" is added to the RVG of "Volume 2", as bonus tracks.
  8. There's a Keepnews of Deeds, Not Words?
  9. I give up. Where? (Genuinely interested, not just being an ass.)
  10. My father gave me $250 for Christmas, saying "get yourself something nice". At the current exchange rate, the Capitol Jazz set works out to almost exactly $250 Cdn, including shipping. It finally shall be mine!
  11. Wonderful album!! Can't wait to read the discussion and, hell, maybe even take part. Pepper and Flanagan are two of my favourites bar none and this is probably my pick of the late Art releases. Mind you, the entire Galaxy box is never TOO far from my CD player(s) at any time...
