I think the beatless hype machine is in overdrive. I was watching a show on Discovery last night & they ran an ad for these new CD's. Plus the MSM always praises the beatless, even that horrid Sgt. Pepper. Yes, the Stones stuff has been remastered but I'm appalled at how little publicity they got this time around. That said, I am tempted to buy the beatless "Past Masters" CD since it has that song they did with Brian Jones - You Know My Name.

glencarCreep, I don't see any discrepancy in my posts. I like the beatless but they're not as good as the Stones. It strikes me that I might know you from another, more annoying board & you're just toying with me. Or maybe you are just some dried up old crone? Whatever, it's FUN!Quote

Hang on, I thought you said (in another thread) that you actually "liked the Beatles", and even bought the Let It Be Naked as well as the Anthology Series!
Yet here we go again, slagging them off with daft names such as "beatless", and bemoaning the fact that they're being (OMIGOD) advertised!
Make your mind up, for chrissakes!

if the stones never got back together in 1989 and their remasters of their cds issued for the 1st time ever, there would be a lot more interest, though probably not as big as the beatles. vegas era has really trashed their legacy.

They won't learn anything. Because the differences between The Beatles camp and The Rolling Stones camps is this - The Beatles camp is concerned about the integrity of The Beatles, which means the quality of the reissues is going to be as high as it can be.
The Stones? They don't even know what songs are on what albums. If they cared about actually doing a good remastering and reissuing, which is what seems the Virgin reissues was for the most part (Dirty Work and Steel Wheels were the only reissues that were actually less than the original issues to my knowledge). UME has taken such care that Angie is credited to be an ABKCO song. UME has taken such care that they hired someone to brickwall the remasters to sound current.

Poke fun at SOL all you want but it's better than most of the songs on Let It Be. The music of The Beatles just sounds old and tired to me. Just my opinion and this is from someone who liked The Beatles immensely when I was younger.
