No. Whilst it is true that the old version shows arguments, it's by no means 90% of the time arguing.

Before he lost possession of the record he made a photographic copy (of the labels) and created reproductions of the record (to frame and sell). We bought one as a wedding present to two Beatle Fan friends. The reproduction was carefully made so that the grooves in no way copied, or could be represented as being copied from the original. It did look good. Last time I saw the present it was

I went to the Brighton show, and indeed the only way for normal people get tickets was to queue all night outside a record shop that was nearby in Brighton's famous Lanes. The down side of that was that I missed seeing The Kinks who were in town that night. The up-side (other, than tickets of course) was that I was handed two posters - which are now more than averagely valuable. The Bri

Younger readers may be interested in the fact that last evening (March 2nd) Ed Sheeran beat his own record for attendance. He played to about 101,000 at the MCG in Melbourne (close to Rockman's back garden?). He'll beat it again tonight with an expected crowd of 107,000. For the record, I don't 'get' Ed Sheeran, but recognise that he's darned popular.

I guess I have to point out that this "rumour" of Paul McCartney recording with The Stones is not as absolutely far fetched as everyone seems to think. Here's a well documented example of Paul happening to be in a studio, hearing something by someone else, and volunteering to add something to the track. I would not put it past him to do just that for a Rolling Stones trac
