    1. Never noticed that Sun King and Don't Let Me Down were the same song. These tapes, of no commercial value, should be public domain. #

    2. "Well shall we just practice that for a bit? Or maybe we should just do it without practicing. Y'know practicing may f*** it up." # George Harrison (3/1/69, One After 909)

    3. Okay, 97 hours of the Get Back sessions is not as easy as I thought. Made it from 1st to 7th Jan 1969. Have to get to the 31st. Michael Lindsay-Hogg is a prat, as is McCartney of course. #

      1. ML-H: "Maybe for the show you could say George is sick." #: "Oh, I mean if he leaves, he leaves. […] If he doesn't come back by Tuesday we get Clapton." #

    8. Probably halfway through Get Back/Let It Be tapes. I might be going a bit strange. Billy Preston has joined the dysfunctional family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Preston#Relationship_with_the_Beatles http://ur1.ca/gwpzx

    10. Hadn't until just now noticed the lineage from # and Moore "grooving it all night long" to the # "Dig It" on Get Back/Let it Be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btS7-UoK2Oo&html5=1

    14. Getting to the sharp end of the Get Back sessions. 29th of January 1969. 30th is the rooftop concert, 31st last proper recording. Will miss my dysfunctional family. #

    17. Finished the 97 hours of Get Back Nagra reels in under a year. On to a much less ambitious collection. I bought most (maybe all, in fact) of these on vinyl in the late 80s when Utopia Records was in Martin Place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Rare_Trax #

      1. @mjd You R the only hard core Beatles fan I know. How did it grip you so tight? - And do you like the Retromania book?

        2. @kuro When I was a boy, # was going mad over ABBA and Neil Diamond. The # were both a cause of the terrible music of the 70s, and a relief from it. And they were authentic. You can spend your life doing what you love instead of being a bus driver or an electrician.
