One of the reasons I didn’t post the piece here is that the Afterword cossets the Beetles like they were their own baby darlings; you are a strangely unbalanced lot. You love these people exactly as a doting new […]

You might listen to the original double, as he recorded it, before Warners rejected it. I’m not saying it’ll rewire the Thep synapses, but it’s an improvement. I’ll email you.
