Title: what do you guys think of "acoustic"?
Post by: sexy sadie on March 10, 2005, 12:26:37 AM
i know this isn't a very recent CD, but i didn't buy it @ the time it came out and my friend just recently burned it for me. what do you guys think of it? do you like it? why/why not? hahaha sorry, my questions sound like something from a test or something  ;)

I wasn't going to buy it until I saw it as part of a 2 for 1 deal, and I had another CD I wanted to get. So I got Acoustic for $0.

And that's about all it's worth. A very disappointing release. I think the Lennon well is now well* and truly dry.


*sorry!

Trouble is, I already had the more interesting tracks on boots for years.

i love the album.i would buy it twice if i had too.
yokos interest has got to be a little bit about missing john and sharing things she thinks only she has.she shared something he never would have and all you can do is say boo?
i love my mummys dead for some reason....
there are better songs on boots,thats true but boots are not accessable to everyone.
at the moondogs we share discs and other oddities.like twister prints a drumhead journal and sent me an old wave 45 sleeve from italy or spain,i burn vids and music and mail them out(only after they collect dust tho),ratman sends rat packages(one included la de da,a ringo single and sleeve),dorothy got me petes autograph and sent me the video tape of the beatlesfest in chicago along with a music disc,tk has sent me thing,steve anthony sends gems too(he is currently working on the anthology series for me,pearl also sent me petes autograph,debbie sent petes pic,2 casbah pics and a few others,manon sends postcards and pictures too..
the moondogs thing i helped create is becoming bigger every year.and its not just me they share with but others too.

I love it too...  I love everything related to John Lennon.  I appreciate even the very little difference between one version and another...

I plan on listening to the Accoustic album when I get the chance but it cheapens John's legacy just a bit.

I've had lots of tracks on bootlegs already, but I'm glad the CD is out. It's very listenable, and the wife loves it.

I heard some tracks of Acoustic on a Beatles Radio Show and I liked them very much and would not mind owning a copy. I think it's a good collection of songs.

Also it went to 36? (or something close to that) on the billboard charts, that's quite an achievement.
