The Beatles - Now and Then

A new record has just been released by the Fab Four, it has been written by John Lennon LINK

Thank god its their last.

From the samples I have caught ont telly, I am not tempted to listen to the full rendition.

It's been on the radio a few minutes ago, I reckon the reason it's not been played for 50 years is, it's rubbish.

John Lennon wrote it in 1978, and it is nothing like the bootleg versions which are on yootube and social media, that is why I put a link on to the Beatles website, so you can listen to the correct version of the song.

It's still crap.

I agree LLegs. Not their best.

Owd on..he's been deed 40 odd years...I won't be listening to re-vamped tripe...nee'r liked their music...and. Wor abaa'ht Stones new album !!! Geriatric Tripe.

Not like you to be expressing negative opinions and telling us what you won’t be doing BB.





….,,oh hang on a min

Regarding the song, it's acceptable: it's mellow, pleasant, well produced, not too long...
Regarding today's technology and AI, it's absolutely amazing.

Obviously, this song is going to get a lot of attention and it will gather the "clicks" no matter which platform it is on.

That is basically what I think about it, not the best they have ever made, but certainly not the worst, I hated Free as a Bird and the entire Beatles Anthology thing in the 1990s.

NOW!
The foundation of the song is extremely basic: a few very ordinary piano chords and singing parts which leave little to the imagination as they do not introduce the listener to anything special.

THEN!
The production is incredible and AI is amazing. The song is carried along and enhanced by the introduction of different instruments and multi-layered sounds, which introduces the listener to various past sounds of The Beatles and Lennon; there are even touches of the sounds and production techniques of Brian Wilson.

Tommy Two Stroke, I agree!
For example, the White Album is a mixture of good and poor songs. I have always felt that it should have been a single album.

Do some of you like anything that has has not come or been produced from outside Wigan?

Think they should let it be
