............to the extent that you have to describe them as "...........sounding like Oasis, only better"!😂

How galling is that?🙁

"All of this is lost on a generation that lives for distortion and crap"

Thats a bit harsh - I took my kids to Glastonbury the year McCartney played ( in fact, they've been each year since 98) and the big field was, as always,  full of every age group - from kids of 5 or so right up through three or maybe four generations.

At the time, mine were 14, 11 and 7 - and they all enjoyed it a lot  - as they did The Who another year.  And there are always hundred of young kids at gigs like that, as well as countless teens and 20+.......

In August this year at Shrewsbury Folk Festival, it was very encouraging to see literally hundreds of teenagers on site - many enjoying some very trad stuff, as well as the more contemporary sounding ba

There were a lot of up and coming young bands on site, in their late teens upwards, who surely do far more than "live for distortion and crap", as they are actually playing the music.

Seeing a full marquee, with all ages there,  watch Show of Hands followed by The Dohl Foundation was a real highlight for me.  And three of the kids with our group saw Slipknot recently, so they aren't geeky - but they are open minded.

Hanging on for your recommendation on the new CDs! What do you think of them?

I have to say Glastonbury is quite something ! was there when a student at uni, such an atmosphere hard to describe with words....

About these CDs, their price, the court arguments etc  etc  well  if John Lennon saw any of that he would probably be disgusted . simple as that. A shamme to the legacy of The Beatles

Hi Peter,

They sound fine - I would suggest anyone new to the albums gets Revolver, Rubber Soul, White Album, Sgt Pep, then all the others - in that order.

That said, I would suggest the above, in that order, regardless of the re-issues!!

The remasters are good - rather like cleaning your glasses if you see what I mean.

Hope all is well

Best Regards,

David.

ps - I saw the BV10 & BV7-55 yesterday - both look good, with incredible pictures.   The sound from BV10 is also superb - it will be another  iconic and succesful product, I suspect.
