Title: Time Capsule
Post by: starofwonder on November 28, 2012, 12:58:46 AM
If only the Beatles during the 60s had
salted away a complete LP of songs to save and release on Paul's 70th birthday.

A kind of surprise LP to shock the pop world.
They were so prolific around the time of the white LP , they could have put the mastertapes of an LP worth of songs away in a bank vault somewhere.... to be left for 40 years !
.... like a pop time capsule .....if only !

not sure I quite get this thread.. ??? <puzzled>

are you saying those songs shouldnt have been released on the White album ?

and why would they plan to release them on Paul's 70th ? why not Ringo's 60th or Johns 80th etc etc, why would they choose Pauls 70th ?

is there some big picture here that Im not getting ?

THEY  were writing so many songs around the time of the White Album
they could have decided to  put together an album worth of songs
deposit the mastertapes in a bank vault and   planned to release
the album  way in the future when they knew their songwriting powers
would be over .
   Then, just when people were nt expecting it... the release of a  brilliant Beatles album ....
Everyone would be amazed !
