Wedding Album 35 reviews John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Rykodisc, 1997
Really Shouldn't Even Be Rated
+ five stars for the "trilogy",Two V;Lifew/Lions;Wedding Album
This album is not supposed to be judged as music but to be experienced as some type of audio collage, a story, a documentation of that part of John and Yoko's life. If you give high regards to abstract art that has almost no bearing of any intelligent purpose behind it, such as a bicycle wheel ...

Earth Song, Ocean Song 3 reviews Mary Hopkin
EMI Int'l, 2003
I CAN'T count the ways I love this one...
+ earth song, ocean song + Not One Weak Track
It's hard to know where to begin a review of one's all time favorite album. Maybe that's the best way to begin, actually. I probably own around 2,000 albums, featuring most genres and fairly evenly spread from the 1940s to today in terms of when they were recorded. And "Earth Song/Ocean Song" is ...

Band on the Run 56 reviews Paul McCartney & Wings
Capitol, 1999
McCartney's Breakthrough Album
+ Superb remastering of a classic + Band on the Run
After the mediocrity of "Wild Life" and "Red Rose Speedway," Paul McCartney and Wings deliver this post-Beatles breakthrough. "Band on the Run" (1973) remains McCartney's strongest solo effort - a remarkably cohesive album with no weak spots. Among the standout tracks: "Jet," "Mrs. Vandebilt," "Let ...

I actually have the original US Apple LP. It's out of print here, though. This was performed at a peace festival in the Toronto area Spetember 1969. The Plastic Ono Band included Eric Clapton, longtime cohort Klaus Voorman, and future Yes drummer Alan White. Yoko of course spilled her guts! ...

+ Beautiful Anguish. + This makes Björk sound like Kylie Minogue
I just found out about this CD (album) when I watched the DVD about the making of John's first album.
What I heard from this album in that DVD intrigued me so I purchased the CD. I also have always liked Yoko's vocalisations (I purchased the Live In Toronto LP when it was released).
I find ...

Magic Christian Music 10 reviews Badfinger

A Good Album!
+ Badfinger Boogie, Mal Evans discovery
Magic Christian Music was the first album to bear the Badfinger name, though 6 of the songs on the album are in fact old Iveys recordings that had already been released on the Maybe Tomorrow album. Some of the recordings were done with Paul McCartney, and he obviously helped the band create their ...

Apple to the Core 3 reviews Mccabe schonfeld
Pocket, 1972
"Rotten" to the Core
+ Sharp, Contemporaneous Report
This book puts all the rumors to rest on why the Beatles split up. No, it wasn't Yoko that did it -- although she didn't help matters any. No, it wasn't Paul and the Eastman's -- although they added fuel to the fire. And, no, it wasn't Allen Klein. It was Apple Records. The Beatles were ...

The Longest Cocktail Party: An Insider's Diary of the Beatles, Their Million-Dollar Apple Empire, and Its ... 21 reviews Richard Dilello
Canongate Books, 2005
five stars
+ A Bittersweet Bit of Fun + Excellent memoir of Beatles' Apple Corps years
I've read a lot of the Beatle books. This is actually one of my favorites in that it kind of captures the spirit of the times. More about Apple than the Beatles but when they do pop in the office, it's interesting. It's really a unique perspective and just a fun book to read.

This is the second volume of recordings of songs by writers signed to the Beatles Apple Music Publishing company. Though most of the artists contributing to the CD are pretty obscure with a very limited recorded material behind them, there are a few exceptions.

Epic Yoko
+ It's not just Yoko, it's the band! + Not as good as POB >> But still a classic!
This is an epic masterpiece from Yoko. There are many brilliant (and yes, I mean brilliant) songs here. Mrs. Lennon is achingly beautiful. I really like Mindtrain, presented here in its original 16 minute version (the box set Onobox has a single length edit). The rock and roll insanity of Don't ...
