Beatles Rarity Of The Week – “Good News” (extra from ‘Vertical Man’ sessions)

Welcome to the Beatles Rarity of the Week. With Ringo Starr’s new album Ringo 2012 hot off the presses, I thought it would be a good week to scrounge up a Ringo rarity. Has it really been 50 years since he first went on a record?! Additionally, you can consider this a follow-up to an [...]

This was George’s [...]

Beatles Rarity Of The Week – Across The Universe (the ‘experimental’ take 7)

Happy New Year and welcome, once again, to the Beatles Rarity Of The Week! One of the songs The Beatles worked on during the first week of February 1968 was John Lennon’s “Across The Universe.” It would be nearly two years before the song would see a release, and then it would only be on [...]
