Ravi Shankar & Ali Akbar Khan in Concert 1972 1 review Ravi Shankar
EMI/Parlophone, 2004
A Masterpiece and a Must-have
Ravi Shankar's music never disappoints, but his essence is found in his live quartet performances. This live recording, a rare Apple US release, is gorgeous in both sound quality and musicianship. I listen to it at least once a month. It's a shame that it's no longer available - I'm glad I bought ...

Mind Games 3 reviews John Lennon
Mobile Fidelity Koch, 2002
Sometimes, its GOOD to play MIND GAMES :)
+ Remix games...remix has better clarity but is flawed by compression and loudness + One Of The Best Cd Of John Lennon
MoFi has updated yet another classic! Shawn Britton's mastering is as always - dead on, never betraying the initial vibe and intention of the ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING, but delicously accentuating what is already there to maximum sonic fruition...

94 Baker Street: The Pop-Psych Sounds of the Apple Era: 1967-1969 7 reviews Various Artists
Rpm Records UK, 2004
A collection of history
+ Despite Muffed Track Listings, Pure Sixties Gold from the UK! + 94 Baker Street: One of the best compilations I've heard!
I am the writer and lead singer of Focal Point, and was very amazed when this album was released. All the tracks by Focal Point were recorded at Decca Records, with the exception of 'Cept Me. Unfortunately, this was a demo of myself sitting in front of a mike singing a song. It was never intended ...

Maybe Tomorrow 5 reviews The Iveys
EMI Import, 2004
Pre-Badfinger release worth having
+ The Best Album On Apple Records
Drummer Mike Gibbins once described The Iveys as a hard little combo - meaning they liked to rock and he was right. Their style was an amalgam and thus difficult to pigeonhole by the label bigwigs who think they know best (they usually don't). This CD features four bonus tracks which only enhance ...

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 ...

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! ...

Feeling the Space 11 reviews Yoko Ono
Rykodisc, 1997
FEELING THE SPACE (APPLE RECORDS/1973)
+ Give Yoko a Chance
REVIEW: Ono's fourth solo album seems to pale in the shadow of her previous offering (the staggering, double record set "APPROXIMATELY INFINITE UNIVERSE"); but the breezy, open air quality of these immaculately crafted tunes are in many ways superior to even the best moments on that LP. And no: I ...

Wedding Album 39 reviews John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Rykodisc, 1997
Absolutely Beautiful.
This album is my all time favorite John Lennon, and Yoko Ono album. This is avant garde genius at it's best. It represents a welcome change from the intense themes of their two previous albums. This album is quite happy, and a musical souvenir of their wedding that was destined to change the world ...

Encouraging Words 3 reviews Billy Preston

A Great Find
+ Excellent with a little help from his friends + a must have
It's a tragedy that this album has been so overlooked. To put it bluntly, this album deserves to be considered one of the top ten soul albums of all time. Billy Preston's beatiful organ and singing voice are complemented by excellent guitars (probably George Harrison, but there's very little info ...

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.
