The unreleased album entitled “Everyday Chemistry” – is a remix offering supposedly produced during the 1970s (in a parallel universe) by The Beatles – who did NOT breakup. If such a release had been produced – it would have constituted the “12th” studio album produced by The Beatles! What is this entity? The backstory suggest that this album came into the possession of an unnamed person identified only by the pseudonym “James Richards” – under mysterious circumstances after he accidently crossed into a parallel dimension – whilst walking his dog in a remote North American forest. Whilst chasing his dog through an unsteady landscape full of rabbit-holes – he was tripped-over by catching one of his feet in such a rabbit-hole. The resulting fall not only knocked him out – propelled him OUT of this world and INTO a parallel existence – where he was rescued by a Good Samaritan.

When he came around, he and is dog were safe and well in the home of a kind-hearted stranger. When discussing music, he discovered that CDs had not caught on in this stream of reality – as people still preferred cassette-tapes as the medium for recording and transporting music. This stranger in a strange land “stole” a tape of what was The Beatles “12th” album entitled ‘Everyday Chemistry” – and managed to bring this object BACK into our world – where The Beatles had broken-up in 1969-1970, producing nothing new as “The Beatles”. Indeed, despite the sheer quality of this album – its content is a mixture of a number of tracks produced by each Beatle in the post-breakup phase of their careers – with each contributing track being attributed to their individual names.
Nevertheless, everyone agrees that this album – which became available on the blog of “James Richards” in 2009 – might actually constitute a 1980s sound, although others are of the opinion that the sound remains definitely within the 1970s. Aa to who really produced this album – nobody knows. Indeed, The Beatles could be behind it. My view is that the sampled music is from the 1970s work of the independent Beatles – but the remixing reminds me of the “Jive Bunny” or “Stars on 45” phenomenon of the 1980s! Remixing breaks all the rules and gives the fans what they want without all the whistles and bells. The recording and arrangement are of an absolute and impressive quality – but we must avoid the trap of US anti-intellectual, stupidity, and inverse perception of reality. This is a remix of the work of the individual Beatles post-breakup – but with the finished content ascribed to an earlier – “pre-breakup” period – where The Beatles were still performing together. All the “parallel universe” nonsense is simply modern American story-telling. The Beatles were NOT American – but “British”. The British remain unafraid of open spaces and tend not to over-react to unknown or unexpected circumstance. The Beatles would have played with equal authority in this world or the next!
