    It's great to experience this stand alone masterpiece. The Benefit of Mr. Kite on anything you choose is wonderful.

    Fez>>>>>>>>Grab two pissed off cats, throw them into a dirty sack. Beat them and you have harmony for any Yoko Oh No song. 9124-c9541710f06e4dba6b1a661435539bc1.jpg

    Great story. You were 12 in '66. The old Capitol label was stamped on the vinyl and the record was actually heavy as you pulled the record out of it's jacket. I can actually remember at this moment the smell of the Magnavox Stereo Wood counsel bulbs heat and singe dust off. The entire album was mind tested by my friends and I many times. The benefit of Mr. Kite is nuts! "Beatles 65" is one of my favorites

    It always bothered me that he said "somersets" instead of somersaults, but I guess that was the old fashioned term and he was just reading it off the poster he owned.

    man I'm old.....I've never heard one song of either of those bands.....to me the New Zealand band Crowded House took over the Beatles approach to pop music ..I hear a lot of influences in Beatles songs...John Lennon said they'd go in the studio and and imitate bands....let's be the Beach Boys today...they recorded back in the USSR...let's be Fleetwood Mac today...crank up the reverb....let's be Carl Perkins today....let Ringo sing...let's be Cole Porter.....Paul can bring his clarinet

    When you think about it, The Who were a harmony band. Great singing octaves. Helter Skelter is an anomaly in music. It stood completely as a song dedicated to mental disturbance. Tried and tested by Manson and his followers Tex, Squeeky and the other girl. 1.png w51.jpg

    Agree. The bass lines are my favorite part of their tracks.
