so many different types of music in TWA, that's why I love it so much

[Frightwolf]

I could never understand the fuss about TWA. Many have made it out to be the best of their albums. Adamzero is right; too many loose ends and un-Beatles stuff like Rocky Raccoon. Great stuff on it, but no way it's their best. I wish they had made it a single album, then did another single album later in '68 with other material.

Uh, maybe it's just me, but Rocky Raccoon sounds like a Beatles song to me.

They did all sorts of stuff on that album.  That's why it's so special.

In regards to the thread title, Abbey Road if my favorite, but White Album is a close second.  Then again, Rubber Soul - White Album are ALL close seconds

But on White Album, I totally dig stuff like Dear Prudence, Back in the USSR, Blackbird, Helter Skelter, Rocky Raccoon, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Honey Pie, Good Night... all varying genres, and it's fantastic!  My friend has both Sgt. Pepper and White Album, and he lists to the latter so much that he can never find as much time to listen to Pepper.

Can You Take Me Back should have been a song in itself. I hope a demo or fuller version of it exists somewhere, so that one day we can hear it in it's fullness. It really does sound like a good Macca song.

The best part of the impromptu that was Can You Take Me Back are the 27 seconds that appear in TWA. The rest of it is very poor, always the same.

The John Barrett Cassette Dubs, that are about to be uploaded, contain a longer version of this little piece of music.

How long Bobber? 1.15? In the Mythology Series that The End uploaded there was a longer version that lasted that and it was the piece we know repeated three times being the last one the best and the one included in TWA.

Who is, or was, John Barrett?

Here's a thread on John Barrett:

revolver is better, so is abbey road

Its all what is the best too you and everyone has there own reasons as to why it is their favourite, TWA is my favourite because it was my first Beatles album and the album that got me into the Beatles. These types of threads are almost pointless

We know the 4 from the WA, but he also wrote in those days (at least):
1. Not Guilty (recorded but unreleased until his solo album from 1979 titled "George Harrison", you know it from the Anthology 3 and it sounds very similar).
2. Sour Milk Sea (demo in Esher Demos in may 68, recorded by Jackie Lomax that year with George producing it -a good one that the guys should have used in TWA, IMO).
3. Circles (demo from the same sessions in Esher, mostly instrumental at that moment and was unreleased till his solo album from 1982 titled "Gonne Troppo", no a great one, indeed).
4. Something (in a very early version at piano at the end of the sessions of WA -inspired by "Something In The Way" of James Taylor, it's said that the same day Paul made an early version of what would become Let It Be).

P.S. I don't like Piggies.

I've read this:

"A comment on reincarnation, this was actually written way back in 1966, but George never considered it for The Guys as the theme was too "way-out"."

It would have been a good track for the White Album too, don't you think?

Love Sgt. Peppers much bettter!

Quite possibly, the only thing on planet Earth I will agree with wayne L. about.

Sargent Peppers, then Revolver, Hard Day's Night, Meet The Beatles
