for a guy who was heavily involved with the Beatles recording sessions, Geoff Emerick is a glaring omission from Anthology.  Was he not invited to participate, or did he refuse due to not being able to agree on a price?

I for one am extremely glad they limited who would appear in the Anthology series. I wanted to hear the Beatles' story, not endless viewpoints of people who'd worked with them. It's like making a wedding list; as soon as you invite those people, you have to invite all these others with the same degree of relationship. Bah. Less is more (I could have done with less Neil, personally, but perhaps that's only me...)

I think Mal would have done some of Neil's parts if he had been alive.

I'd like to have seen people like Alf Bicknal in it.

I would have loved to have seen Mal in there. He would have a unique view, to say no more. I read something recently when I was looking up info on the incident in the Phillipines. I never was sure if Mal got into a fight there or not. We know Alf was knocked down-- didn't he have some broken ribs and an injured spine? Ringo was supposedly shoved in the back and stumbled but didn't fall. What happened to Mal?

So this quote (I have to remember where I read this), someone is asking Mal what happened and he said there were like 4 or 6 guys pounding on him. I'm reading this horrified, and Mal goes on to say, "Yeah, they were all punching me and I was hitting them back and it was great!" Which made me laugh. Of course; the former Liverpool bouncer would relish a good fight. So he enjoyed that punching bit... and I'm sure he was the only member of the party who did.

Does anyone watch Saxondale? He's a spitting image.

I think Pete Best definitely should have been included - he was a Beatle afterall!

But you have to buy his Best Of The Beatles DVD to get his story, which could easily be editted into Anthology disc 1 if someone could be bothered!
