The Beatles Interlude - An Outro...

It has been a long couple of weeks where I have thought of little but The Beatles and their music. That was a tall order for someone like me who does not consider himself a Beatles fan. I'm sure those of you reading this who are fans probably think I've unfairly maligned the band. You may have a point. After all I'm probably in the minority of those who have a strong opinion of The Beatles music. I'm betting most people in the world don't care. Of those who do care, most are in the "I like their music" or "I LOVE their music" category. I am in probably the smallest category, in that I don't really care for the bulk of their music.

The Beatles - Abbey Road & Across The Universe (1969)

In my previous review I noted that The Beatles next project after Yellow Submarine was going to be an album called Get Back. The idea, proposed by Paul McCartney, was for The Beatles to go back to their roots of playing live shows and recording the bulk of their music live as a group, as opposed to the four members largely doing their own thing and collaborating on overdubs later. Recording together proved not to be the tonic to reunify the band, and the recording sessions for the Get Back album were put on the shelf. At some point they were able to get in the studio and record a set of songs they really liked, and that became today's subject for review.
