Quote from: Elgarian Redux on January 31, 2025, 01:40:31 AMKarl, have you seen the documentary on the making of this album? Fascinating stuff: I fell in love with Goldie Hawn when I watched it. It's here:

Thanks, Alan, I hadn't. I hope I did not seem to short-change Goldie Hawn. I really enjoyed "A Louche Day's Night."

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

And, returning briefly to the theme of Beatles songs I didn't know were Beatles songs as I heard them on easy-listening radio as a child: The line "you know I believe, and how" sets my solar plexus ringing.

I would say Revolver and Abbey Road for first-time listeners. I think Yellow Submarine and Hey Jude are very good albums.

I'd say start with Rubber Soul.  If that one gets you interested, keep going for the next 3.  If you are still interested, go back to the beginning through Help! - and then pick up with the White Album and going through to the end.

Also, regarding Yellow Submarine, I skip all the instrumental soundtrack stuff and only listen to the actual songs, which are pretty good.
