The Apple Years 1968-75 is coming

[Klang]

I had that 'Switched-On Bach' album. Enjoyed it. I wonder if it's still around in some form.

Yep, I've got it on LP but, alas, although it came out 10 years ago on CD it seems to be a bit elusive.
I'm consoling myself with the four (!) Perrey and Kingsley records from the mid-to-late 60s which will compliment George's experimentation admirably.
Plenty of blips and blops!

Finally got the wondrous 'Wonderwall Music' in London today.

There's a terrific photo in the booklet of George and cast (and Ringo) at Cannes in 1968, but what isn't mentioned is that this was the Cannes which was cancelled due to the Student/Workers' Protests and virtual over-turning of French democracy.
Great timing George!!!!!

Couple of questions.....
This would mean that George and Ringo were actually in France during the May '68 disturbances? Erm.....wow.....if true.

Apparently 9 of the 14 days went ahead so was 'Wonderwall' one of the films shown or was George just advertising it?

Anyone know?

If anyone is still interested in buying the box Amazon now have it at £56.92, a reduction of about £20 I think.

no only all rolling stones fans here ;sorry

Just not buying everything that is Beatles related. It looks like a nice box tho.

[Badgirl66]

but when you have box 1 you must have box 2

[oldbrownshoe]

If people haven't heard them yet the bonus tracks on 'Wonderwall Music' are worth the £10 on their own.

When it comes to sheer beauty, the early version of 'The Inner Light' is right up there with 'Across The Universe', 'I Will' and 'Something'. It would have sounded wonderful on the 'White Album'.

I'm not too keen on buying the same stuff over and over again, even if it comes remastered and/or in a nice box. I admit I'm eager to hear the early take of The Inner Light tho, but I guess it is Take 1.


Edit. Found it on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2fyYrLN9fA

They do find ways to sell you the same thing over and over.

I'm glad they released this on iTunes. I can pick up the three decent tunes off Dark Horse. Unfortunately for the bonus tracks you need to buy the entire album. I'm interested in hearing this inner light track.   But i already have wonderwall and don't feel like rebuying it.

There is always the idea that you're never too far from another upgraded edition.

Having read quite a lot about 'Wonderwall' recently, one reviewer stated that 19 out-takes exist (three presumably being the recent bonus tracks), you'd imagine a lot of chat between George and the Indian musicians was also recorded, and, of course, it also came out in mono and one reviewer on Amazon swears it's very different in parts to the stereo version.

See you in ten years time to talk about the 'Wonderwall Music Deluxe Edition'!!!

I've put all the bonus tracks up on my server.

[Bobber]

I will put them in a certain DropBox. That is a bit safer on behalf of the forums itself if you catch my drift.

OK. I tried to do that but it wouldn't let me. I can no longer make use of the Dropbox. My own account limits access, I guess.

I choose an easier way.
