Beatle Facts ("Album Of The Week" Master Thread)

[AKA]

In 2004, unemployed and bored, I began a fifteen-week "Beatles Album Of The Week" series on Sitcoms Online. After all was said and done, what you are currently reading became the "master thread" that linked all those threads together, as well as providing more information that one needs to know about the fab four.

The album links below are to the actual "Album Of The Week" threads, all of which are still active.

Enjoy. Or not.

My favorite albums are "White", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", and "Revolver." I would like to someday get the Beatles Anthology albums, those look good, too. I've never listened to them.

John's son, Julian, followed in his father's footsteps and became a musician. His debut album, Valotte (Atlantic; 1984), was a moderate hit, peaking at number seventeen on the Billboard charts.

Lead single "Too Late For Goodbyes," fared better than the album from whence it came. It peaked at number 1.

Since then, Julian hasn't been as successful in terms of record sales. However, subsequent albums have received praise from critics, especially his most recent album, Photograph Smile (Varese; 1998).

John's other son, Sean, also turned out to be a talented musician. In 1998, he released his debut (and so far, only) album on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label via Capitol Records. The Beach Boys-inspired album, Into The Sun, didn't sell well, despite Sean's famous surname. It reached only number 153 on the Billboard charts. Even so, Sean still has a cult following.

Sean is currently dating Elizabeth Jagger, daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall.

Paul's daughter, Stella, is a successful fashion designer.

Zak Starkey, Ringo's oldest son, has been The Who's drummer since 1996.

I chose Revolver but I LOVE them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dean Winchester]

my favorite Beatles album is not on this list.

REEL MUSIC from 1982... this was the Beatles album that was in the house when I was a kid. It was 14-16 songs from 1964-1970 that were in movies. The first side was Hard Days Night and Help songs, and the other side was Magical Mystery Tour (also All You Need Is Love), Yellow Submarine and Let It Be tracks.

If this was released on CD, I would purchase it. Most of my favorite Beatle songs are either on this album or PAST MASTERS VOL. 2

Billy Preston (b. 1946) - played keyboards for the Beatles on the Get Back/Let It Be sessions

Sid Bernstein (b. 1924) - promoted the Beatles's 1964 Carnegie Hall and 1965 Shea Stadium concerts in New York

Bob Dylan (b. 1941) - inspired the Beatles to write more poetic and enigmatic lyrics; one of George Harrison's best friends

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - was the Beatles's personal guru in late 1967 and early 1968

Eric Clapton (b. 1945) - another of George's best friends; secretly played lead guitar on the White Album ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps")

Phil Spector (b. 1940) - produced the Let It Be album

Norman Smith (b. circa 1935?) - engineered the first five Beatles albums and all of their singles up to and including December 1965; later Pink Floyd's first producer

Geoff Emerick (b. 1946) - engineered Revolver and Sgt. Pepper, and part of the White Album and Abbey Road

Glyn Johns (b. 1942) - the greatest British rock producer who isn't George Martin; engineered the original Get Back/Let It Be tapes

James Taylor (b. 1948) - American singer/songwriter; one of Apple's first artists

Jackie Lomax (b. circa 1948), British singer/songwriter; another of Apple's first artists and a personal favorite of George

Any others?

[Steve M.]

Revolver is my favorite. Every song on that LP could be a single, as the 1976 success of "Got To Get You Into My Life" proved.
