I love the idea of all these fantasy albums! For the past year & a half I have been obsessed with making my own and have made about 46 in total. Instead of worrying about putting their "hits" of that time period on just one album, I took all of their solo material and demos and was able (just for example) to make 2 albums a year from 1970-1980. By doing so I was able to atleast avoid the "what about this song?" or "that song was made this year, not that."
I know the dates are off, I did this in a hurry. To be quite frank, Paul did a lot of shit in the early 70's that wasn't up to Beatles standards (I love a lot of it for its charm and simplicity, but it's nothing he'd have come up with if the band was still together), so I did have to pick some stuff from Band on the Run even though this is supposed to be '72.
@superman11978 I find it amazing how the Beatles' music. progressed so much in just 6 short years. It's like a totally different, but the same band from Please Please me, to Let it Be. I often wonder had they stayed together, how more they would have progressed. Would they have embraced synths like Yes or Pink Floyed? Would they have sold out to Disco, etc?. Anyway, the fact they broke up left us with some different but great music from Paul & John. They did nice solo stuff IMO.
@superman11978 " to be quite frank, Paul did a lot of shit in the early 70's that wasn't up to Beatles standards"
He had the odd duffer, but certainly not "a lot", no more so than the other three. Paul had the same exposure as the three other Beatles, yet was clearly the most popular among the public and some of his songs would have been even BIGGER hits had they been issued as "The Beatles". "My love" was one of the best records issued in the '70s. Period.
Crackerbos Palace sounds a bit faster than the official release. And it sounds awsome.
Any ways, I'd add George's This Song and Ringo's Goodnight Vienna, but that would make the album too long, so maybe I'd remove Bluebird (I'm sure the rest wold have rejected it for its resemblance to Blackbird). Still, it's a decent selection of songs you made.
@begbieboy - I have to say that bluebird is really only similar to blackbird in the title, IMO. Great record, but I too would remove it due to the backing vocals - far too feminine for a Beatles record. I would put Maybe I'm Amazed in there. Now that's a PROPER Beatley track. Very Abbey Road in it's style.
this is good,but how can you put band on the run in 1972 if band on the run is a 1974 song. Also by looking at the beatles discography I would assume thier 15th album would be in early 1971
I heard a bootleg of stuff recorded but not used on the White Album and 'Free as a Bird' is on there!!! Also, note that it isn't with John's crappy voice 'rescued from a cassette tape and digitally restored' as we were told they had to do. John's voice on this version is clear as day! The song is as you here it on the anthology release including slide intro but the middle eight is slightly different. What's up with that? Why were we given some BS story?
hey Ed look...classic rock is fantastic though the stones are overrated...but punk and grunge are two genres the are not shit like urban cowboy or disco.
i dont understand how people can like dylan his voice is so awful and most of his music is just him playing acoustic guitar and harmonica and i need drums and bass and electric guitar,i even listen to his blonde on blonde album didnt like it at all.
Dylan wasn't somebody I was too keen on at first but it was an aquired taste for me. I'm still not as keen on his acoustic stuff, I prefer his electric songs.
PAST MASTERS III: 1.- Imagine. 2.- My Sweet Lord. 3.- Maybe Im Amazing. 4.- Bangladesh. 5.- It don´t come easy. 6.- Out the Blue. 7.- Lovely Linda. 8.- Oh Yoko. 9.- My Dark Sweet Lady. 10.- Photograph. Last Single: Side A: Another Day. Side B: How do you sleep?
Looking back on this, I think my concept was good, but someone else with more time should do this for real and make some real, full albums, and maybe even edit Paul/George harmonies into John songs, etc. It would be a huge project.
this would be 16th album in 73 1 Band On the Run 2 Jet 3 My Love 4 Mind Games 5 John Sinclair 6 Give Me Love 7 Meat City 8 It Don't Come Easy 9 One More Kiss 10 Out the Blue 11 Let Me Roll It
1 Photograph 2 Crippled Inside 3 Woman Is the Nigger of the World 4 Tomorrow 5 It's So Hard 6 What Is Life 7 Give Ireland back to the Irish 8 The Luck of the Irish 9 It's Johnny's Birthday 10 Back Off Boogaloo 11 Some People Never Know 12 Wild Life 13 Happy Xmas
1 imagine 2 heart of the country 3 Uncle Albert /Admiral Halsey 4 let it down 5 beware of darkness 6 your sixteen 7 Photograph 8 How? 9 my love 10 oh yoko 11 Monkberry Moon Delight 12 working class hero 13 love 14 i live for you
I really enjoyed your uploads on the imaginary Beatles albums, so cheers your hard work is appreciated. I'd forgotten what a gorgeous song George's Life Itself was, I'm gonna have to listen to it again now! Thanks again, look forward to the rest
I'll do more albums throughout the 70's and all the songs you've listed will be scattered throughout. It can't be chronological though because it just doesn't work...some years they didn't really produce that much.
I don't have time now but eventually I'll get to it. I have all the songs it's just a matter of sticking them together and adding pictures, which is where the real work lies.
I have followed pop music since the 60's when I liked the top 40 of course that is how is all started. The Beatles were not the only great band since it all started. They may not be the best band and group of individuals ever, but they are the best that I have ever heard.
beatles did songs like all things must pass and isnt it a pity a song which john hated.there is also bootlegs of them doing some paul songs like another day and backseat of my car.and johns songs gimme some truth and jealous guy.
wrong all the beatles played on you're sixteen so it isnt the only one.every single beatle played on it.you can even hear paul at the end singing all mine.they just didnt all play on it at the same time.also john george and ringo all played on only you.
Believe it or not George Harrison plays the electric guitar on I'm the greatest. The bass is played by Klaus Voorman and the organ, Billy Preston.
The other song that's almost a Beatle song is All those years ago, a single by George, featuring Ringo on drums and Paul(and Linda) doing some bacjing vocals.
16th album??? lol
thanks for your job , it's great!

They never really did, until 1980.
