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!
