The Beatles: Revolver Super Deluxe 5 CD Box-Set! (11.6.2025)

11/06/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This is a new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes. The technology has produced a stunning clarity of sound – with the help of cutting edge “de-mixing” technology developed by Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films Productions Ltd. Included is the GRAMMY Award-winning original album artwork created by Klaus Voormann, the Super Deluxe CD and vinyl house a beautiful book featuring Paul McCartney’s Foreword, an introduction by Giles Martin, an essay by Questlove, and insightful chapters by Kevin Howlett. I read somewhere that Peter Jackson wanted specifically to use the technology he developed to update and synchronise the sound-tracks to all his Lord of the Rings films. As these films were produced well-over a decade and years a part – the technology improved as they filmed. Now, the older sound-tracks can be brought into line with the latest – increasing the quality and viewing experience. Peter Jackson was adamant that he only wanted to work on “Revolver”. Listening to the original “mono” proves just how spectacular The Beatles actually were. By comparison, “stereo” seems lazy!

The Beatles: Original Drummer – Mr Pete Best – Announces Retirement! (9.4.2025)

Of course, Ringo Starr was temporarily replaced (when ill) whilst The Beatles were on tour – so obviously he wasn’t irreplaceable. Perhaps it just goes to show the greed and desperation that drives predatory capitalism. Still, once CD – and then streaming – developed, Pete Best’s substantial (foundational) contribution was finally recognised via a huge (and well-deserved) pay-out from The Beatles millions – or should I say billions! You can now listen to Pete Best’s drumming as part of The Beatles’ legitimate historical development. Pete Best demonstrated remarkable character having to live through the unbelievable success of the group he helped form – having to watch from the side-line – as the world went made! Still, Pete Best eventually received his financial reward when The Beatles Anthology was released 1995.

The Beatles: Everyday Chemistry Album [Parallel Universe]! (17.12.2023)

17/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

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!

The Beatles: Deconstructing the Racism and Disinformation of Bill Flanagan! (15.4.2023)

16/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

“We know that Communism is the right hypothesis. All those who abandon this hypothesis immediately resign themselves to the market economy, to parliamentary democracy – the form of State suited to capitalism – and to the inevitable and ‘natural’ character of the most monstrous inequalities.” Alain Badiou
