Hi my name is Jonathan Poole (Beatles Fan) I decided to write this blog after having the misfortune of searching for basic recording facts and figures on other Beatle sites.
It's most frustrating, looking for Beatles recording info when your either confronted with half arsed descriptions, a lack of catalogue numbers, shabby old record covers or even worse, some Mr Know It All, who boggles your brains with shit like what the Beatles had for breakfast when they recorded take 26 of Honey Pie! No! I don't sleep better knowing any of that stuff.....!
I'm sure the average Beatle buff out there just wants to have the reasonable facts about the tracks, you know, like the release dates, chart positions, who wrote the Beatle track, and a nice cover sleeve to look at, without 30 years of grime and masturbation on it! (I don't care if you had it since you were 10 and its worth £200, I want CLEAN, I want TIDY, I wanna be taken back in my mind to a record shop in 1967 and I'm just gonna buy a lovely new copy of Strawberry Fields!
...Lucky for you lot, I've searched the four corners of the earth for your pleasure, and the record sleeves are PUKKA!
Don't you fans worry...you are in safe hands, I love the Beatles, but I'm not a fanatic who thinks the Fabs can do no wrong (like some idiots I've known in the past!), yeah I think 'The Ringo song' has polluted many an otherwise classic album, I don't think Revolver is THAT brilliant (I mean Rubber Soul is twice as good for Christ sake), and yes I know JL is a God, but give Macca a break, (heresy, I know!), but he did do the best tunes (including my all time fave, Hey Jude!)
Well let's get started, all you need to know (rather than spend all day scrolling through the site), is just to look at the panel on your right, click one of the links under 'Search' or if you are looking for a song or album, tap the name into the box at the top left of this page.
...and the World will turn for you!
I have also included 'The Beatles U.S. Discography' for our cousins across the pond (click on the relevant 'Search Category' on the right side of this post to access.)
This site is user friendly....It's Capricorn Tidy, and if I may add, a bit sexy too!
