Name: PeterR

Fav Track: Strawberry Fields Forever (MMT)

It's just incredibly beautiful. It's the definitive Beatles song. It's perfect. I listen to it, and I sigh. And I smile. While I love the original, I also really enjoy the versions on Love & the Anthology.

My Comments

  • For some reason, this song has really grown on me over the last couple of months.

    On this day, Penny Lane recording continues - 5th January 1967 on 24th Oct 12.

  • In the George Harrison documentary, "Living In The Matural World", there's that clip of Dhani Harrison, George & Giles Martin revealing a "buried" guitar solo. PLEASE find a way to release an alternate mix of this track with that solo. I can ***ure you EVERY Beatles fan would purchase this. PLEASE! : )

    Here Comes The Sun (Abbey) on 24th Oct 12.

  • “Possibly my favourite use of brass on any Beatles record. The keyboards, the drums, the bass, the guitars - everything about this recording is perfect!!!

  • I love EVERYTHING about this song: the melody, the lyrics, John's rhythm guitar part. Such a blissful listening experience!!! :D

About me

Have been a Beatles fan since high school in the 1980s. Recently, I went through a period of about seven years or so where I didn't listen to ANY Beatles music at all; I actually avoided it.

The news of the remasters in the spring made me take out my LPs & re-listen. I forgot how wonderful they really were. It's nice to have them back in my life again!

The Beatles, Badfinger, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jellyfish, Jethro Tull, John Lennon, Jackie Lomax, Paul McCartney, Procol Harum, Traffic & Frank Zappa... pretty much sums up my musical tastes.

Fav album
The Beatles

All those songs, the diversity, the creativity... I can listen to it over & over and never get bored. It's a perfect album, from beginning to end. Absolutely flawless.
It was the first Beatles album I listen to. I guess you might call it, "love at first listen."

    Thanks for the comments as well. It's actually impossible for me to pick ONE favourite Beatles song, but isn't that the problem for all of us?

    I just received the mono box a little over an hour ago in the mail. : )
    Where do I begin? The packaging is terrific, it sounds wonderful. I need to process it all, then step out tomorrow & get my hands on a stereo box as well.
    It was certainly worth the wait!

    I would have to agree with what you said about Strawberry Fields.
