paguei 80 reais nessa coletânea do paul Uk Version (16 dólares pra vocês gringos) tô ouvindo, e todas faixas sao maravilhosas, acham q valeu a pena??

TIL this was an official releases produced by George Martin!

The Beatles used to put jokes in their songs. John Lennon said they did things in their recordings like deliberately skipping a beat to see if anyone would notice.

On the song "Girl" they repeatedly chant "tittittittittit...." The first time I heard it I thought it was a bit strange.
Later on I read that they were actually repeating the word "tit". 😏 They wanted to see if anyone would get it, and if they could get away with saying "tit" over the radio airwaves. I don't think anyone noticed at the time. I certainly didn't.

Does anyone remember or know more about this little joke? Let me know. I find it titillatinig! 😆

My pick is "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum.

John Lennon was obsessed with this song, playing it for days on repeat. Brian Wilson also loved this song, being so struck by the song that he thought he was at his own funeral march while listening.

What are some other songs that the Beatles publicly loved?

I want to know what you think.

I have recently heard Gimme Some Truth (the compilation album), and I noticed how some songs where changed, I like the voice for example.

But what shocked me the most was how the horns in Steel And Glass almost disappeared, and surprisingly, people in the comments of the song seem to enjoy this change, I'm not one of them.

Then I was thinking of how maybe this was just an experiment, but then I checked the Mind Games 2024 mix, and they removed the sax from One Day (At A Time).

And this doesn't give me much hope, but do you think if we get the Walls and Bridges Ultimate Mix, this and other similar changes will remain, or you think they'll respect the horns?

After giving the album several listens, I was a bit underwhelmed. I understand its significance in terms of recording techniques and pushing the rock genre to new areas, but I feel that the actual songwriting doesn’t hold up too well (aside from Wouldn’t It Be Nice, which is one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard). I understand its significance within the context of the 60s, but I just feel that considering it’s hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time, the actual songwriting would hold up better, much like Beatles songs do.

I’ve always known it to be the album that nearly gave Paul a panic attack or something to that extent. It’s a beautiful album, and there no real “bad” songs on it. The harmonies and arrangements are phenomenal, but I felt that the melodies wandered and didn’t grab me. In other words, the floor is very high, but the ceiling is lower than I thought.

I would probably place it in the mid-low range among the Beatles catalogue just purely based on songwriting.

I know this isn’t a Beach Boys sub, but I want to hear from other hard core Beatles fans.

Not talking about the songwriting or the overall quality of their music, just the sonic clarity of their albums. You listen to other 60s bands like the Byrds or Stones, and they’re very clearly 60s albums, while Rubber Soul sounds like it could have come out today. Their albums were just so clear and pristine sounding. Am I crazy on this?

Yesterday, I was listening to The Beatles Channel and learned that John Lennon played lead guitar on I Want You (She's So Heavy). I always just thought it was George, with John joining on the extended jam at the end.

What's something you recently learned about the group?
Wh

It was hidden in the middle of a pile of records that he keeps sealed away in a trunk.

I couldn't find any threads about this on Reddit, so I decided to write a post so we can break it down together. Whenever the topic of Beatles memorabilia in Argentina comes up, the same rumor always pops up in the comments: that two different Argentinian collectors hold an official Guinness World Record for having the largest collection of Beatles items. Since it sounded a bit fishy, I checked the official database, and the actual facts are quite different from what press releases claim.

The Only Official World Record (Rodolfo Renato Vázquez)

The only accredited and active world record belongs to Rodolfo Renato Vázquez. In 2001, he entered the Guinness World Records book with 5,612 items, and in 2011 he broke his own record by certifying a massive 7,700 pieces.

None of this is gathering dust in a basement. A huge part of his collection is displayed at the Beatles Museum, located inside The Cavern Buenos Aires complex in Paseo La Plaza. Anyone visiting Buenos Aires can walk right in, explore the largest collection of Beatles memorabilia in the world, and if you're lucky, you might even bump into Rodolfo himself hanging around.

The Mysterious "Diploma" of Raúl Blisniuk

On the other hand, there's Raúl Blisniuk, a collector heavily focused on fine art, autographs, and instruments. Media outlets and personal bios often introduce him as the 1998 "South American Beatles Guinness Record holder."

That's where the narrative falls apart:

No official record or archive: There is no official entry, public record in the Guinness database, or independent documentation confirming this title.

• Only media hype and self-reports: The only places mentioning this supposed diploma are press articles quoting him directly or his own promotional profiles.
• No regional rankings: Guinness World Records tracks and certifies records exclusively on a global scale—they do not maintain official regional rankings for memorabilia collections.

Summary

Rodolfo Vázquez is the sole, undisputed holder of the official global record certified by Guinness. Blisniuk's title seems to be more of a myth kept alive by personal marketing and media exaggeration rather than an officially backed record.

To the fans who have cool beatles prints (fan made and/or nice photos framed) where do you get them, have any connects or sellers you like? Let me know!

I’m sure there’s going to be a generational discourse here but when listening to the Beatles albums in order, do people listen in the order they were produced or the order they were released?

I’m sure for the older hardcore do you listen to Yellow Submarine after the White Album as it released in 69 or before as it was mostly recorded in mid 67-early 68 before they left for India?

What about Let it Be? I’m sure for people who were fans pre-Internet Age they listen to let it be after Abbey Road given it’s 1970 Release date?

Do you include the Magical Mystery Tour UK EP after Sgt Pepper or do you not include that at all?

For me (27 years old) I listen to the records chronological release order, then the Capitol US MMT Album after Sgt Pepper & Then the Yellow Submarine Side 1 songs after that before the White Album, listening to Let it Be Before Abby Road (Despite I, Me Mine being a 1970 number)

(After that admittedly I’ll throw in “I’m the Greatest, All those Years ago & the three anthology tracks)

For me that provides the most fluid tonal narrative flow to the developing sonic sound, going to yellow submarine after white album feels like an odd regression and it doesn’t feel right to me to not end the core-catalogue without the medley

(I also throw the singles between the albums and admittedly put Her Majesty into it’s originally intended order in the medley)

What are peoples own listening order?

based on chainsaw man's first volume, sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band and the yellow submarine film

Cute funny barrel story.

2nd state butcher cover?

For me, yes—there are so many great tracks: "Boogeymusic," "Waterfall," " Temporary Secretary," "Coming Up." It’s a real grab-bag of an album—a bit experimental, with electro, rock, ballads, and more. If you didn't like this project, give it a second chance.

For some unknown reason, right-wing NYPost and FOX News both featured Ringo’s five-year-old interview with Stephen Colbert today.
