Time flies. 1962 was the ‘official’ start to The Beatles history as far as we knew it. Their first single was issued in October. But before we get there, let’s start at the beginning. January 1, 1962 was the big day of the Decca audition session. Brian Epstein had become manager in November of ’61 [...]

I’ve talked a lot about The Beatles on this blog. I’m not going to go back and count them all but there’s probably over 100 posts about The Beatles on MusicByDay.com (many of them by me) and besides Amadeus’s “Beatles Suck” post I think they are almost all entirely positive. So it seems like time [...]

One day recently, I heard of a guy, I don’t know where he was from, commie China maybe, but he said that he didn’t like The Beatles! (Commie Sumbitch!). But then I found out he was from a real country in the west!. It just didn’t sound logical to me because who could possibly not [...]

This band makes me think about what would happen if The Beatles collided with Billy Talent in a cosmic explosion of sound. It’s not that they sound anything like the Beatles at all… but take Billy Talent, remove every morsel of dark, sinister morbidness, and chuck in a trillion colourful balloons and an overdose of [...]

No, of course not, but due to my fascination with lunatics and their insane conspiracy theories I’ve decided to make this new post in response to the comments made by “Peregrine Pickle” on this old post from 2009 (Lennon vs. McCartney.) I’m not sure where to start with the debunking of this “George Martin wrote all of [...]

Sometime ago, our illustrious host here at Music By Day once said that The Beatles were relatively late to the box set game, however I would like to point out that The Beatles were in fact the first to the Box Set game. 12 years in fact before the 1990 Led Zeppelin box set that [...]

For those Beatles fans who joined the club in the last 30 years or so; You all wonder why The Beatles and George Martin spent so much time perfecting mono mixes. Why, when most of you feel (and often rightfully so) that the stereo sounds better? That the mono sounds claustrophobic with no space for [...]

Is it reasonable to be a Beatles fanatic in this modern day and age? Why yes it is! And here’s some more stuff that you might’ve missed at some point over the last twenty years. We were absolutely thrilled with the ’09 releases in,,,well,,,’09! Beautiful sound and MUCH better packaging compared with the ’87 issues! [...]

Does anybody even care about ‘live’ albums anymore? Does anybody these days have the attention span to sit down for an evening and immerse themselves in  a concert experience simulation situation? I suppose the question is, does anybody have the attention span to sit down and just listen to an entire album,Period!? Well this post [...]

For some reason I find this kind of crap interesting. It’s curious to see The Beatles & Michael Jackson in there with absolutely terrible crap like Lady Antebellum and Glee Cast. Check it out: 1. Taylor Swift – 4,470,000 albums sold. 2. Eminem – 4,317,000 3. Lady Antebellum – 3,848,000 4. Justin Bieber – 3,728,000 [...]
