	♥ 10:15pm PaulRobeson1922: @Rev Rabbit nov 63: let me look in the book, hold on

	♥ 10:16pm Kat in Chicago: @Robm they don't really need me. If I come up with some killer concept at some point I'll pitch it haha
	♥ 10:17pm Kat in Chicago: If I lived in the area I'd be volunteering for sure
	♥ 10:18pm Scott67: Jimi Love!!
	♥ 10:18pm Julie: step 1 collect a lot of music step 2 get a radio show step 3 collect more music for show step 4 be broke with many records
	10:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My brother has the entire cover of Axis - the vertical foldout - tattooed on his entire back. & well.
	♥ 10:19pm PaulRobeson1922: I need that United States Of America album
	♥ 10:19pm Julie: I feel like Axis is in the shadow of ..Experienced...
	♥ 10:19pm Julie: Rev: WOW
	♥ 10:19pm PaulRobeson1922: “I’m not that kind of Indian…”
	10:19pm Robm: @Kat fair enough @julie step 5 die broke:)
	♥ 10:20pm PaulRobeson1922: @Robm: let’s not worry
	♥ 10:20pm Julie: but what a soundtrack our lives will have had
	10:20pm Robm: @Julie very true
	10:21pm Dean: Was just in a record store where I saw a used copy of the naked LIB. Gotta say I don't get the anti-Spector 'tude of some people. I think his work on that album and on Harrison's ATMP was sublime.
	♥ 10:21pm Kat in Chicago: I bought that United States of America record at the last WFMU record fair I went to, few years ago
	♥ 10:21pm Julie: ahhh the record fair...
	10:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - or ElectricLadyland's shadow... It's the trilogy, really : AYE? / Axis / ElectricLady. Axis is like his Pepper Summer of Love album. Tho it came out late '67. The middle one ...the Axis.
	♥ 10:21pm Julie: hiya Dean! I enjoy both versions.
	♥ 10:22pm Julie: @Rev good point.
	10:22pm Robm: @Dean if you were talking about phil spector he was just batshit crazy
	♥ 10:23pm Julie: add him to the long list of great talent shitty human
	10:24pm Mr Fab: Julie! Listening while driving. Syd makes me ever so happy.
	♥ 10:24pm PaulRobeson1922: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I’d post the whole book if I could but you know…
	10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Let It Be' was the ruins of the Get Back project. Spector did a great job of what he was asked to do - as Lennon said - go thru masses of tape no one wanted to deal with. Problem is - the Spector style was the Opposite of McCartney's intention for the project: Raw Live with no Studio stuff. But Glynn Johns presented them with that & they freaked & rejected it...
	♥ 10:24pm Julie: howdy Mr Fab! Gotta love Syd!
	10:24pm Robm: @Julie a very LONG LIST Hey mr fab
	♥ 10:25pm PaulRobeson1922: It’s been said before but it’s never been told
	10:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @PaulR : ...Book ??
	♥ 10:25pm PaulRobeson1922: Oh yes @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Book
	♥ 10:25pm Julie: I still haven't watched the last get back episode
	♥ 10:28pm Julie: Australians, do you know these guys? are they a big deal over there?
	10:34pm Dean: I'm just saying that to my ear McCartney's intentions were misguided. That Spector was nuts is of no matter to me. That he was self-centered and egotistical bothers me when it comes to appreciating his work.
	♥ 10:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and banana splits.
	♥ 10:41pm Julie: Intentions are still intentions even if some perceive them as wrong. It is like the first Genesis album, heavy production lots of strings. I love it but I also love the demos with the songs stripped down
	10:41pm Mr Fab: Don’t feel bad about not getting too deep into “Let It Be.” It’s their weakest album. “I Got A Feeling” is superb, there’s a few amusing trifles like “Dig It,” but not much to hang an entire album on.
	10:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dean - yeah maybe. I'd like to have access to the new big 'Let It Be' box & really weigh the whole mess... The idea that the Spector treatment is a deviation from what it was meant to be is there in the room regardless. It's a 'Frankenstein'. Also - not every track is equal. Spector probly elevated say 'Two Of Us' rather masterfully - in just terms of sheer listening ...while his 'Long & Winding Road' production is a bit much ...& a particular thorn in Macca's craw. As for the moral problem with Spector - he's dead, the work remains ...I'd like to see the Truth get aired & acknowledged primarily. Which I think it basically is?
	♥ 10:43pm Julie: I feel like there are good songs but it doesn't seem as much like AN ALBUM as some of their other ones. I'm a relic, I like an album
	♥ 10:44pm PaulRobeson1922: It is way past my bed time. Please forgive the length of this comment. @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Page 25 & 26 an excerpt Pulled from a inspired talk Bucky Fuller gave in 1967: published as “Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth” I remember Bucky’s definition of True wealth as, Wealth cannot work backwards: you cannot alter one iota of yesterday: true wealth is anything that can physically and metaphysically move us further into the future’ HERE is what Bucky wrote- -Now, I’m going to have a man in a shipwreck. He’s rated as a very rich man, worth over a billion dollars by all of society’s accredited conceptions of real wealth. He has taken with him on his voyage all his stocks and bonds, all his property deeds, all his checkbooks, and, to play it safe, has brought along a lot of diamonds and gold bullion. The ship burns and sinks, and there are no lifeboats, for they, too, have burned. If our billionaire holds on to his gold, he’s going to sink a little faster than the others. So I would say he hadn’t much left either of now or tomorrow in which to articulate his wealth, and since wealth cannot work backwardly his kind of wealth is vitally powerless. It is really a worthless pile of chips of an arbitrary game which we are playing and does not correspond to the accounting processes of our real universe’s evolutionary transactions. Obviously the catastrophied billionaire’s kind of wealth has no control over either yesterday, now, or tomorrow. He can’t extend his life with that kind of wealth unless he can persuade the one passenger who has a life-jacket to yield that only means of extending one life in exchange for one crazy moment’s sense of possession of all the billionaire’s sovereign-powers-backed legal tender, all of which the catastrophy-disillusioned and only moments earlier "powerfully rich" and now desperately helpless man would thankfully trade for the physical means of extending the years of his life; or of his wife. …True democracy discovers by patient experiment and unanimous acknowledgement what the laws of nature or universe may be for the physical support and metaphysical satisfaction of the human intellect’s function in universe. I now go on to speculate that I think that what we all really mean by wealth is as follows: "Wealth is our organized capability to cope effectively with the environment in sustaining our healthy regeneration and decreasing both the physical and metaphysical restrictions of the forward days…
	♥ 10:45pm Julie: whoa dude
	10:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: "Let It Be' was the 1st album I got of my own - like not one of very many hand-me-downs (as it happened) - but one with the wrap still on it. Probly as a B-Day gift. & not that many years after it was released ! There's plenty of Songs there. & from the Get Back sessions - others could've been chosen. Songwriting was not their problem even @ that challenging stage...
	♥ 10:46pm PaulRobeson1922: I’m asleep on my feet
	♥ 10:47pm Julie: do you have the app? go listen in bed!
	♥ 10:48pm Julie: were there songs unused from the get back sessions? What happened to them? My first beatles record was the blue one
	♥ 10:48pm PaulRobeson1922: @Rev Rabbit: that’s about a page and a half Of Bucky’s definition of true Wealth: Your bee reminded me
	♥ 10:48pm PaulRobeson1922: @Julie ok! Thank you!!! <3 goodnight and thank you thank you thank you for the music!
	♥ 10:49pm Julie: you're very welcome PR1922!
	10:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they had just put out the WhiteAlbum @ the end of 1968. A Double ! they needed a Film for contractual reasons. They thot maybe a Concert. Most would've probly rehearsed the Songs that were in the fat album they just made that was selling fabulously. But - TheBeatles. Let's compose a whole new Album - Film it happening in the Studio (normally where they shut out the World to Work - so - a completely new thing & a total reversal of the usual) ...& the Film will climax with the Show. Which will also be ...a Show. Which they hadn't done since 1966 !! ..Oh - & Ringo's making a movie so - all in ONE MONTH. Any other band would've thot this was total Madness. But they happened to be an ambitious little bunch...
	♥ 10:53pm Julie: I expected more oohs and ahhs over sandy
	♥ 10:54pm Kat in Chicago: Oh I am appreciating Sandy!
	10:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SANDY ! ...geez she really was short ! Like that album painting...
	♥ 10:54pm Julie: there is also some perspective going on..she is behind them
	♥ 10:56pm Scott67: Thanks Julie, gotta head to folks for lunch now. 🍻😎🤙🌏🌻🦜🦜🦜
	♥ 10:56pm Julie: awww see ya scott!
	10:56pm Dean: Intention is the lodestar for many, I know. I appreciate it, and in my line of work (law) I pretty much have to give it credit. However, I believe (actually, know) that once a text or performance is unleashed to the world it is divided from its creator. Not entirely or necessarily, but very likely. The poet's intention was contemporaneous with the poem's creation, but the poem lives on and demands attention exclusive of the poet, because it's a text. Thus, my take on Spector's LIB regards the document itself at the point of my consumption of it, and not Spector's or Paul's or anybody's intentional plan. I hear it as a work of its time, and I enjoy it quite a bit.
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Enjoy Scott67 !
	♥ 10:57pm Julie: @Dean I get that. Once you give birth it is the world's baby
	10:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	♥ 10:58pm Julie: hiya Phillippe!
	♥ 11:00pm Scott67: ✌️😎🤙❤️🌏
	11:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dean I think you're probly right - there's backlash against Spector morally that's showing in people's assesements of the work. Macca himself speaks often of just this thing you describe - how once it's Out - it takes on other characteristics. Something TheBeatles experienced on literally the widest scale. Otoh - I think that among the real Beatlefreaks & experts his work with solo George & John is assessed pretty fairly. Opinions differ - as with anything... 'Let It Be' just happens to be historically messy like this. Well - George & John has interesting times with Phil later too ...but I was trying to make a point :D ...
	11:05pm Dean: I also happen to prefer (or so I think) Spector's All Things Must Pass. But I know my love of the album is a function of having experienced its momentous release at the time when I acquired it. I'm "biased" or, perhaps, "experienced."
	♥ 11:07pm Julie: there's two version of the George album too??
	11:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Producer after all is the primary & first Mediator between the Artist & the World (creatively). Spector obviously had both sonic & commercial successes in this.
	♥ 11:09pm Kat in Chicago: So many selections tonight I've never heard before!
	♥ 11:09pm Julie: I hope that means you're enjoying it Kat!
	♥ 11:10pm Kat in Chicago: Yes it does!
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what we're really talking about is the difference between George Martin & Spector in the case of TheBeatles. & that's a lot ! Yes - don't mean to distract from the Playlist !
	♥ 11:12pm Julie: martin's son is very good too, though I really only know his work from Rocketman
	♥ 11:14pm Julie: so I had to look up the producer for this now, Lou Adler. He did Mamas & Papas too I think
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yet there are old-timers who consider Giles' Remixes an outrage ! Like Beatles Engineer Geoff Emerick.
	♥ 11:16pm Kat in Chicago: He did, Julie. And... Cheech & Chong, haha
	♥ 11:16pm Julie: He was married to Shelley Fabares! (who is now married to Mike Farrel) SCORE!
	♥ 11:17pm Kat in Chicago: Ha, I didn't know that!
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was it Lou Adler who helped create FolkRawk by adding Electric instruments to 'Sounds of Silence' ? When Simon & Garfunkel weren't even there... Not sure !
	♥ 11:18pm Julie: I JUST found out. I have that one CD comp of hers. It's a shame he didn't do more with her later on they were together through the 70s
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nope ! TOM WILSON.
	♥ 11:19pm Julie: Rev did you hear the S&G song I played? musical whimsy
	♥ 11:20pm Kat in Chicago: I don't think I'd heard "Blessed" since the 70s
	♥ 11:21pm Julie: I think I've played that more than any other S&G song
	11:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - got a Freakbeat cover of 'Blessed' on a Pye Psych comp. Today was watching a video of how they came up with 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' - so S&G on the brain now...
	♥ 11:21pm Julie: define freakbeat for me
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.facebook.com...
	11:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mods on Acid would be the most succinct definition maybe...
	11:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Blessed' covered by The Kytes...
	♥ 11:30pm Julie: the jingle jangle mornings comp?
	♥ 11:30pm Julie: wasn't that really was Floyd was? at the beginning? Mods on acid?
	♥ 11:34pm Kat in Chicago: What have we here?
	♥ 11:34pm Julie: as sung by the COMPOSER
	♥ 11:35pm Julie: produced by Graham and PETER NOONE?!
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes - maybe that's what practically everybody was in England by default ? One feels with Floyd they truly represented a Band coming along parallel to the Next Phase. Their Debut in literally the same time & place as Sgt. Pepper. As such - they were solid Psych & then into Prog. But @ first - Syd was writing Hit Singles. Wasn't he? But he had two sides - as he was also a pioneering Electric Guitar Improvisation Artist... Then he was Alternative...
	♥ 11:36pm Kat in Chicago: A couple of the harmonies struck me as a bit off, but lovely arrangement
	11:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hermits tuned down BusStop ? It's hard to measure up to the sound of TheHollies.
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...think that Whimsy is one characteristic of Freakbeat - Syd a paragon of that obviously...
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *tuRned down ...
	♥ 11:42pm Kat in Chicago: Hoo boy
	♥ 11:43pm Julie: is that a good hooboy?
	♥ 11:44pm Julie: Hermits got Museum though! and No Milk Today, which Graham wrote
	11:44pm Dean: Saw this at the record store today: https://www.discogs.com/release/12355725-Donovan-Whats-Bin-Did-And-Whats-Bin-Hid Holy moly, a 1970 Tomorrow's Gift album! They weren't half bad.
	♥ 11:44pm Kat in Chicago: Are they prayin' to Satan for vocal lessons?
	♥ 11:46pm Julie: yeah that's a good one from don
	♥ 11:49pm Kat in Chicago: Probably my favorite Elvis song
	11:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'What's Bin Did...' - reissue of earlier Donovan on another label ? Love that stuff just as much.
	11:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Perfect Single really.
	♥ 11:50pm Julie: I don't listen to much Elvis but there's a couple songs I just LOVE
	11:50pm Phillippe Bastille: Great show tonight, Julie! Catchya later this week!
	♥ 11:50pm Julie: thanks Phillippe!
	♥ 11:51pm Kat in Chicago: I saw you tease this on Facebook, Julie. I didn't know about "Jennifer"!
	11:54pm Santos L Halper: Glad to catch that J Warnes, thx Julie!
	♥ 11:59pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Julie!
	12:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Julie ~
	♥ 12:00am Julie: yay Kat glad you saw it! Hi Santos! Thanks for listening everyone!!

	10:20pm Robm: @Julie very true
	10:21pm Dean: Was just in a record store where I saw a used copy of the naked LIB. Gotta say I don't get the anti-Spector 'tude of some people. I think his work on that album and on Harrison's ATMP was sublime.
	♥ 10:21pm Kat in Chicago: I bought that United States of America record at the last WFMU record fair I went to, few years ago
	♥ 10:21pm Julie: ahhh the record fair...
	10:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - or ElectricLadyland's shadow... It's the trilogy, really : AYE? / Axis / ElectricLady. Axis is like his Pepper Summer of Love album. Tho it came out late '67. The middle one ...the Axis.
	♥ 10:21pm Julie: hiya Dean! I enjoy both versions.
	♥ 10:22pm Julie: @Rev good point.
	10:22pm Robm: @Dean if you were talking about phil spector he was just batshit crazy
	♥ 10:23pm Julie: add him to the long list of great talent shitty human
	10:24pm Mr Fab: Julie! Listening while driving. Syd makes me ever so happy.
	♥ 10:24pm PaulRobeson1922: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I’d post the whole book if I could but you know…
	10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Let It Be' was the ruins of the Get Back project. Spector did a great job of what he was asked to do - as Lennon said - go thru masses of tape no one wanted to deal with. Problem is - the Spector style was the Opposite of McCartney's intention for the project: Raw Live with no Studio stuff. But Glynn Johns presented them with that & they freaked & rejected it...
	♥ 10:24pm Julie: howdy Mr Fab! Gotta love Syd!
	10:24pm Robm: @Julie a very LONG LIST Hey mr fab
	♥ 10:25pm PaulRobeson1922: It’s been said before but it’s never been told
	10:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @PaulR : ...Book ??
	♥ 10:25pm PaulRobeson1922: Oh yes @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Book
	♥ 10:25pm Julie: I still haven't watched the last get back episode
	♥ 10:28pm Julie: Australians, do you know these guys? are they a big deal over there?
	10:34pm Dean: I'm just saying that to my ear McCartney's intentions were misguided. That Spector was nuts is of no matter to me. That he was self-centered and egotistical bothers me when it comes to appreciating his work.
	♥ 10:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and banana splits.
	♥ 10:41pm Julie: Intentions are still intentions even if some perceive them as wrong. It is like the first Genesis album, heavy production lots of strings. I love it but I also love the demos with the songs stripped down
	10:41pm Mr Fab: Don’t feel bad about not getting too deep into “Let It Be.” It’s their weakest album. “I Got A Feeling” is superb, there’s a few amusing trifles like “Dig It,” but not much to hang an entire album on.
	10:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dean - yeah maybe. I'd like to have access to the new big 'Let It Be' box & really weigh the whole mess... The idea that the Spector treatment is a deviation from what it was meant to be is there in the room regardless. It's a 'Frankenstein'. Also - not every track is equal. Spector probly elevated say 'Two Of Us' rather masterfully - in just terms of sheer listening ...while his 'Long & Winding Road' production is a bit much ...& a particular thorn in Macca's craw. As for the moral problem with Spector - he's dead, the work remains ...I'd like to see the Truth get aired & acknowledged primarily. Which I think it basically is?
	♥ 10:43pm Julie: I feel like there are good songs but it doesn't seem as much like AN ALBUM as some of their other ones. I'm a relic, I like an album
	♥ 10:44pm PaulRobeson1922: It is way past my bed time. Please forgive the length of this comment. @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Page 25 & 26 an excerpt Pulled from a inspired talk Bucky Fuller gave in 1967: published as “Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth” I remember Bucky’s definition of True wealth as, Wealth cannot work backwards: you cannot alter one iota of yesterday: true wealth is anything that can physically and metaphysically move us further into the future’ HERE is what Bucky wrote- -Now, I’m going to have a man in a shipwreck. He’s rated as a very rich man, worth over a billion dollars by all of society’s accredited conceptions of real wealth. He has taken with him on his voyage all his stocks and bonds, all his property deeds, all his checkbooks, and, to play it safe, has brought along a lot of diamonds and gold bullion. The ship burns and sinks, and there are no lifeboats, for they, too, have burned. If our billionaire holds on to his gold, he’s going to sink a little faster than the others. So I would say he hadn’t much left either of now or tomorrow in which to articulate his wealth, and since wealth cannot work backwardly his kind of wealth is vitally powerless. It is really a worthless pile of chips of an arbitrary game which we are playing and does not correspond to the accounting processes of our real universe’s evolutionary transactions. Obviously the catastrophied billionaire’s kind of wealth has no control over either yesterday, now, or tomorrow. He can’t extend his life with that kind of wealth unless he can persuade the one passenger who has a life-jacket to yield that only means of extending one life in exchange for one crazy moment’s sense of possession of all the billionaire’s sovereign-powers-backed legal tender, all of which the catastrophy-disillusioned and only moments earlier "powerfully rich" and now desperately helpless man would thankfully trade for the physical means of extending the years of his life; or of his wife. …True democracy discovers by patient experiment and unanimous acknowledgement what the laws of nature or universe may be for the physical support and metaphysical satisfaction of the human intellect’s function in universe. I now go on to speculate that I think that what we all really mean by wealth is as follows: "Wealth is our organized capability to cope effectively with the environment in sustaining our healthy regeneration and decreasing both the physical and metaphysical restrictions of the forward days…
	♥ 10:45pm Julie: whoa dude
	10:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: "Let It Be' was the 1st album I got of my own - like not one of very many hand-me-downs (as it happened) - but one with the wrap still on it. Probly as a B-Day gift. & not that many years after it was released ! There's plenty of Songs there. & from the Get Back sessions - others could've been chosen. Songwriting was not their problem even @ that challenging stage...
	♥ 10:46pm PaulRobeson1922: I’m asleep on my feet
	♥ 10:47pm Julie: do you have the app? go listen in bed!
	♥ 10:48pm Julie: were there songs unused from the get back sessions? What happened to them? My first beatles record was the blue one
	♥ 10:48pm PaulRobeson1922: @Rev Rabbit: that’s about a page and a half Of Bucky’s definition of true Wealth: Your bee reminded me
	♥ 10:48pm PaulRobeson1922: @Julie ok! Thank you!!! <3 goodnight and thank you thank you thank you for the music!
	♥ 10:49pm Julie: you're very welcome PR1922!
	10:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they had just put out the WhiteAlbum @ the end of 1968. A Double ! they needed a Film for contractual reasons. They thot maybe a Concert. Most would've probly rehearsed the Songs that were in the fat album they just made that was selling fabulously. But - TheBeatles. Let's compose a whole new Album - Film it happening in the Studio (normally where they shut out the World to Work - so - a completely new thing & a total reversal of the usual) ...& the Film will climax with the Show. Which will also be ...a Show. Which they hadn't done since 1966 !! ..Oh - & Ringo's making a movie so - all in ONE MONTH. Any other band would've thot this was total Madness. But they happened to be an ambitious little bunch...
	♥ 10:53pm Julie: I expected more oohs and ahhs over sandy
	♥ 10:54pm Kat in Chicago: Oh I am appreciating Sandy!
	10:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SANDY ! ...geez she really was short ! Like that album painting...
	♥ 10:54pm Julie: there is also some perspective going on..she is behind them
	♥ 10:56pm Scott67: Thanks Julie, gotta head to folks for lunch now. 🍻😎🤙🌏🌻🦜🦜🦜
	♥ 10:56pm Julie: awww see ya scott!
	10:56pm Dean: Intention is the lodestar for many, I know. I appreciate it, and in my line of work (law) I pretty much have to give it credit. However, I believe (actually, know) that once a text or performance is unleashed to the world it is divided from its creator. Not entirely or necessarily, but very likely. The poet's intention was contemporaneous with the poem's creation, but the poem lives on and demands attention exclusive of the poet, because it's a text. Thus, my take on Spector's LIB regards the document itself at the point of my consumption of it, and not Spector's or Paul's or anybody's intentional plan. I hear it as a work of its time, and I enjoy it quite a bit.
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Enjoy Scott67 !
	♥ 10:57pm Julie: @Dean I get that. Once you give birth it is the world's baby
	10:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	♥ 10:58pm Julie: hiya Phillippe!
	♥ 11:00pm Scott67: ✌️😎🤙❤️🌏
	11:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dean I think you're probly right - there's backlash against Spector morally that's showing in people's assesements of the work. Macca himself speaks often of just this thing you describe - how once it's Out - it takes on other characteristics. Something TheBeatles experienced on literally the widest scale. Otoh - I think that among the real Beatlefreaks & experts his work with solo George & John is assessed pretty fairly. Opinions differ - as with anything... 'Let It Be' just happens to be historically messy like this. Well - George & John has interesting times with Phil later too ...but I was trying to make a point :D ...
	11:05pm Dean: I also happen to prefer (or so I think) Spector's All Things Must Pass. But I know my love of the album is a function of having experienced its momentous release at the time when I acquired it. I'm "biased" or, perhaps, "experienced."
	♥ 11:07pm Julie: there's two version of the George album too??
	11:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Producer after all is the primary & first Mediator between the Artist & the World (creatively). Spector obviously had both sonic & commercial successes in this.
	♥ 11:09pm Kat in Chicago: So many selections tonight I've never heard before!
	♥ 11:09pm Julie: I hope that means you're enjoying it Kat!
	♥ 11:10pm Kat in Chicago: Yes it does!
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what we're really talking about is the difference between George Martin & Spector in the case of TheBeatles. & that's a lot ! Yes - don't mean to distract from the Playlist !
	♥ 11:12pm Julie: martin's son is very good too, though I really only know his work from Rocketman
	♥ 11:14pm Julie: so I had to look up the producer for this now, Lou Adler. He did Mamas & Papas too I think
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yet there are old-timers who consider Giles' Remixes an outrage ! Like Beatles Engineer Geoff Emerick.
	♥ 11:16pm Kat in Chicago: He did, Julie. And... Cheech & Chong, haha
	♥ 11:16pm Julie: He was married to Shelley Fabares! (who is now married to Mike Farrel) SCORE!
	♥ 11:17pm Kat in Chicago: Ha, I didn't know that!
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was it Lou Adler who helped create FolkRawk by adding Electric instruments to 'Sounds of Silence' ? When Simon & Garfunkel weren't even there... Not sure !
	♥ 11:18pm Julie: I JUST found out. I have that one CD comp of hers. It's a shame he didn't do more with her later on they were together through the 70s
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nope ! TOM WILSON.
	♥ 11:19pm Julie: Rev did you hear the S&G song I played? musical whimsy
	♥ 11:20pm Kat in Chicago: I don't think I'd heard "Blessed" since the 70s
	♥ 11:21pm Julie: I think I've played that more than any other S&G song
	11:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - got a Freakbeat cover of 'Blessed' on a Pye Psych comp. Today was watching a video of how they came up with 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' - so S&G on the brain now...
	♥ 11:21pm Julie: define freakbeat for me
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.facebook.com...
	11:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mods on Acid would be the most succinct definition maybe...
	11:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Blessed' covered by The Kytes...
	♥ 11:30pm Julie: the jingle jangle mornings comp?
	♥ 11:30pm Julie: wasn't that really was Floyd was? at the beginning? Mods on acid?
	♥ 11:34pm Kat in Chicago: What have we here?
	♥ 11:34pm Julie: as sung by the COMPOSER
	♥ 11:35pm Julie: produced by Graham and PETER NOONE?!
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes - maybe that's what practically everybody was in England by default ? One feels with Floyd they truly represented a Band coming along parallel to the Next Phase. Their Debut in literally the same time & place as Sgt. Pepper. As such - they were solid Psych & then into Prog. But @ first - Syd was writing Hit Singles. Wasn't he? But he had two sides - as he was also a pioneering Electric Guitar Improvisation Artist... Then he was Alternative...
	♥ 11:36pm Kat in Chicago: A couple of the harmonies struck me as a bit off, but lovely arrangement
	11:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hermits tuned down BusStop ? It's hard to measure up to the sound of TheHollies.
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...think that Whimsy is one characteristic of Freakbeat - Syd a paragon of that obviously...
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *tuRned down ...
	♥ 11:42pm Kat in Chicago: Hoo boy
	♥ 11:43pm Julie: is that a good hooboy?
	♥ 11:44pm Julie: Hermits got Museum though! and No Milk Today, which Graham wrote
	11:44pm Dean: Saw this at the record store today: https://www.discogs.com/release/12355725-Donovan-Whats-Bin-Did-And-Whats-Bin-Hid Holy moly, a 1970 Tomorrow's Gift album! They weren't half bad.
	♥ 11:44pm Kat in Chicago: Are they prayin' to Satan for vocal lessons?
	♥ 11:46pm Julie: yeah that's a good one from don
	♥ 11:49pm Kat in Chicago: Probably my favorite Elvis song
	11:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'What's Bin Did...' - reissue of earlier Donovan on another label ? Love that stuff just as much.
	11:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Perfect Single really.
	♥ 11:50pm Julie: I don't listen to much Elvis but there's a couple songs I just LOVE
	11:50pm Phillippe Bastille: Great show tonight, Julie! Catchya later this week!
	♥ 11:50pm Julie: thanks Phillippe!
	♥ 11:51pm Kat in Chicago: I saw you tease this on Facebook, Julie. I didn't know about "Jennifer"!
	11:54pm Santos L Halper: Glad to catch that J Warnes, thx Julie!
