I bought this album yesterday and listened to it in the evening. If you haven't got it, rush out now and buy it! I sold off some musically quirky and lyrically daft albums (namely, Yes), and with the money wanted a Beatles solo album. What persuaded me to get this one is the the re-doing of some of his Beatles' songs. What a pleasant surprise! Yesterday and Here, There And Everywhere are EXCELLENT! FAR better than the original recordings - especially Yesterday, which leaves out the sombre strings of the original. Yesterday and Here, There And Everywhere, and wanderlust all flow so nicely together. And Wanderlust is a lovely song, worthy of The Beatles. Sounds like a song about a boat to to me.
The other Beatles tracks are interesting, though The Long And Winding Road is not a patch on the original. But Eleanor Rigby is interesting enough.
The sound quality is EXCELLENT, as it was digitally recorded in 1984.
The Beatles tracks on it are, in order:
Good Day Sunshine
Yesterday
Here, There And Everywhere
For No One
Eleanor Rigby
The Long And Winding Road
It's my pleasure to review this album, and I know I'll listen to it a lot in future. I recommend it to anyone who is thinking of getting a nice new Macca album. I remember that the movie was a flop, but, IMO, this album is a real success! But, I just wish thast Macca would give the same attention to other Beatles' songs of his.
These are some of the feelings you might experience if you hear it:
