Us or The Beatles?

Sorry I think I perceived you're comment in more of a pessimistic manner rather than just as a question. However although this is obviously open to interpretation I think they just simply tie the record together well as a whole. but I don't find myself going to those specific tracks. How many people do you know would go out of their way to download just those ? Fair enough. Sorry for being dicky. I felt like you were insinuating that I was being a know-it-all, which drives me crazy. Trust me, I can be one but I was simply trying to have a discussion about a good but sometimes confusing Beatles album. I think folk should have perspective when thinking about some of those tracks. Firstly, it was the 60's. You couldn't get an album unless you bought it. There were no downloads, obviously. Technology eventually provided a way for the public to copy albums. Most people taped via reel-to-reel but that was more of an expensive method to just make copies of your vinyl. Then again, it seems like most people would still just made copies of albums rather than making their own 'best of' or mixtape. You still had the album, wholly. Secondly, until the late 50's and early 60's, most music was purchased by older folk, thus consumed primarily by adults. It wasn't until record companies started pressing singles when young people bought music in large quantities. Singles were more of a pragmatic approach to allow teenagers to buy into the music market. 45's had two songs, generally, and thus they were cheaper in price. Kids could use discretionary income on singles and buy more singles for the money they would have had to spend on one particular album. All this is to say, the feel of a record was important to the flow or concept, especially to the Beatles. I don't remember what we were actually talking about now, haha. Okay, right. If the "White Album" was one disc, with just fourteen of the those songs, it would be a much different album than it is now. I've heard many people who don't like or care about The Beatles reference an odd tie-in track like Revolution #9 when they have no idea that it's not a real song (in the sense of verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus). So there is some argument that taking the filler songs away would make a much different album. Cheers.

I just think thats kind of a bold statement to say that an entire collective of fans would view an album different if they didn't include intermissions,preludes,ect. Perhaps you're not familiar with punctuation. Those sentences ended with question marks. Question marks indicate that some sort of query is being sought. I was simply asking how would the public view the record without all the preludes, intermissions, etc. I didn't make any declarative statements. But if you think that fans wouldn't view the record differently if it were condensed from two discs to one, then you are naive. It would be a completely different Beatles album at that point. And most fans would probably view it as another attempt at a concept album being that it follows Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour.

Bump. Back from baby mode. Holla at me again if you're interested.

$50 something for that tape! Good on you.

was that real ? Not sure what you're asking?

Dead Kennedys - "Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables" (Orange cover/first press) - $10

I hung out on DF for a while and most of everyone mentioned VC regularly, so I started reading/posting. It's cool to have a few places to talk about vinyl with different types of music fans and collectors.

I was kidding. I wouldn't buy them because I don't like the band.

George Martin often speaks about wanting the white album to be a single disc record. Knowing how each Beatle ego was inflated enough to imagine themselves getting to fill a whole record, I'm suprised the thing wasn't three records. Regardless, I like the it how it is, but I wonder how it would sound if they had just put 14 songs on one record. How would we view that album? Would their be some theme, some epic universe-altering conception that would blow our minds? And would "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" be on that record?

Okay, cool. Thanks for the tip. "Ghost of David" is a great record.

No sweat. If you get bored, scroll the list again. I take away and add shit all the time.

I'll give you the $6.99 each I saw them for in my record store today.

Did you check out my list? See anything?

Hope you get a bundle mate. These are really cool.

Was this not ever pressed on vinyl before?

Good luck. Some of that stuff is tough to track down.

Ultimate irony.

Hey mate, I'm trying to get rid of a bunch of stuff. Check out and see if anything you might want to trade: http://www.deadformat.net/topic.php?id=28409

I wouldn't know what to offer. Starting price?

My girlfriend is pregnant, WAS, we had a baby in November of 2010! I need money, and I'm running out of record space, so I'm selling 2/3 of my record collection. I've been collecting records for about 12 years and have tried everything short of running a store (distro, record shows/fairs, internet, etc) related with buying/selling vinyl. Time to cut back, so here's a ton of records I need to unload. A lot of the records are in great condition, but not everything is perfect. If you have an interest in something used, I'll be glad to grade it and take a picture. I've had this list up since August on deadformat.net. Figured I would try to get rid of some stuff here. I'm interested in a few trades, so look at my tradelist. I'll give you double the value of records for your single LP if it's the right one. RECORDS FOR SALE *See list on DF* http://deadformat.net/topic/39498 http://deadformat.net/topic/39498 http://deadformat.net/topic/39498

this is how white girls get crazy: It's always sunny for white bitches.

Thanks for the useful information, dude.

My girlfriend is black, so when I read this, I was quick to notice that it wasn't just "bitches gettin crazy" but 'black' was the precursor. As if no other race gets crazy.

The pressing information is all in the eBay listing. I mean, first, second, third pressing, not just the #'s. How many times has this album been repressed from the original in the mid 90's.
