anthology complaints...

not long enough

Okay I have a question,  I thought that Let it be was the Beatles last album, but why did they say in the anthology that abbey road was there last album?  Was it to make everyone think that the beatles left off on a good note?  Whats the deal?

Let It Be was recorded before Abbey Road, but released afterwards.

Oh I see, okay that makes me feel better.  It's good to know that they did leave off on a good note.

i thought the dvd skipped out to much stuff, especially the hamburg period. but its great for old footage. the book is much better an much more detailed but as its by the beatles they dont talk about some of the stuff that an outsider would talk about, but thats expected.

errrrrrr well i think Johns acid phase between sixty six an sixty eight. some people have said he was gobbling acid for breakfast an almost permanately tripping. he seemed to go a bit mad during this perios but it was also when he was at his most creative but the anthology dont talk about it that much. then in hamburg it only skims the surface of the drugs they were doing and all the things that happened to them out there. an in the break up they dont talk about how much John an Paul ended up hating eachother. i like to read about the messy stuff i suppose- the drugs, the fights an all that.

There's plenty of other books out there that cover that stuff, whether it be true or not.

I suppose censorship was still working at the time the Anthology was being written.

I personally love the entire Anthology, but there is so much missing from the story.  Cynthia Lennon is virtually ignored with, and I don't remember Jane Asher being mentioned at all.  Perhaps they did not deem them important enough, but they were IMHO.  I did not think of the Paul is Dead rumour, but that should definitly have ben included.  I guess you can't fit it all in though.  I'm happy with it overall.  Books need to be read as well.

About Jane Asher - I remember Paul saying somewhere (I don't know if it was the Anthology book) that he doesn't talk about her publicly because she doesn't talk about him. Respecting her privacy as much as anything else, I guess.

When he mentioned living at the Ahsers* the family name isnt mentioned, nor is any great detail given... yet in Many years from now by Barry Miles... half the book is about the Ashers home!
So that public privacy went out the window

yeah, your probaly right Sadie.

yeah I also think they were missing alot of stuff my dad thinks so too

maybe they are saving it for another updated version....
