There are lots of sound clips that are short excerpts from very rare outtakes that are available only on bootlegs.

All You Need is Cash: One of the coolest Beatles parodies is the Rutles, based on the documentary "All You Need is Cash" that appeared on British TV. The Rutles site is even updated with information about a "Rutles Archaeology" that includes a Rutles history, a press release, Rutles discography, etc. Anthology series: We review the highlights of the Anthology CD set. But don't forget the official web site devoted to the Capitol Records Anthology release. It is lame, considering all the information available about these tracks. There once was a site dedicated to the video documentary that aired on ABC Television in the U.S., but that website has vanished. The video was an abridged version of the now available 10-hour documentary (8 VHS tapes), which is by far the most exhaustive video documentary of any band. The Beatles reunited, or three of them, and created two songs: "Free as a Bird" (FAAB) and "Real Love". FAAB (which we think is great!) has been commented on extensively. This page is dedicated to the song itself. You can check out the many song references in the video clips and stills. There are loads of Beatle song references, as you would expect. And here's more: The Beatles Reunion Recording Sessions -- Details recording and mixing sessions for the 1990s Anthology reunion project. What's Yoko doing?Find out what Yoko Ono, John's widow, is doing these days. The avant garde artist and musician is still way out there on the edge, still inventing new forms of art and music. And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. |
