Regardless of grumpiness and egos-personally I would have loved a Paul, George, Ringo studio album in 1970. Beatles or not-it was a missed opportunity for potential also around 1978 (George and Paul were on a similar melodic turn), 1987 or 1994. It just wasn't meant to be-but it could have been great.

Our only hope now is a Whotles release.

Our only hope now is a Whotles release. As long as they fly in all the dead people! It's amusing to think of John Lennon, George Harrison, Keith Moon and John Entwistle all up in the SHiTEs' precious little rock n roll heaven, looking down with horror at the lame output from their Brexit-voting kiddy-staring former bandmates whilst probably enjoying the finest coke and hookers St Peter has to offer.

Because they’re out of arguments when it comes to Trump and the Covid crisis?

They never admit it over there, and maybe they don't even recognize it consciously, but the endless fantasies about the Beatles reuniting (or staying together past 1970) are just their way of acknowledging the grim inevitability of approaching death. Plus, the general crappiness of most of the Beatles' solo albums.

I don't think Pete would piss on Sir Ringo Starr if Ringo was immolated in public. Let alone join the Threetles.

What possible nostalgia could a Beatles fan really have for Pete Best? Nothing about the music they supposedly love comes from him.

Their road manager banged Petes' mom, maybe that's the hook.

Because Pete Best is the Munenori Kawasaki of music. The guy with zero ability that people glom onto and turn into a folk hero.
Two producers thought he sucked. Maybe 3 if we count the failed Decca sessions. That’s all I need to know.

Maybe 3 if we count the failed Decca sessions. That’s all I need to know. I burst out laughing when I read the part of Tune In which dealt with the Polydor recordings. Lewisohn interviewed the original engineer, who said that Bert Kaempfert asked Best not to keep belting his kick drum. Best couldn't help himself, so they removed the remainder of the kit and left him with a snare and a cymbal. No wonder Atco got Bernard Purdie in to smarten the recordings up

The first thousand pages are a skim-read at best.
