That instrumental coda at the end of "Something" is the dullest, most tuneless, dirge-like, inspiration-free piece of crap the Beatles ever laid down. Why are they all so eager for its inclusion ?
Actually the answer is in the post above this one.

You're more of an Octopuses Garden man, correct?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
Who let the dogs out?
Why a duck?
Paper or plastic?
Just some interesting questions

The melody to "Something" is quite pretty; would have made a fine instrumental. IF Harrison had only canned the godawful, juvenile, cringe-worthy lyrics. I'm no Sinatra-apologist, but hearing him sing those lines was depressing. George was no Sammy Cahn or Ira Gershwin, that boy.

He justified a lot of things to himself. Greatest pop singer ever? I suppose so, if that matters. But what a compromised life...

I don't doubt that Sinatra knew full well it was a piece of shit when he recorded it. He was no stranger to holding his nose and recording trash that he and everyone else knew was trash. Think of it as a follow-up to "Mama Will Bark" (but not as good) — money-spinning shit that a man in the biz has just gotta do sometimes. Or however he justified it to himself. Beatard warning:
Harrison discusses during the Get Back sessions the possibility of offering Sinatra a song (Isn't It A Pity, I believe) and then reconsiders because he feels that Sinatra would record anything.

So the Shites continue to ponder and argue over this release, but has anything actually been announced in terms of release dates? The Shites need to run thier DR Meters on this and then bitch about how much better it would be, if Daddy sprinkled his sonic jizz all over it.

I actually am looking forward to getting the Abbey Road set (not the one with the vinyls, just the 4 disc CD/bluray/book or whatever set.)
I always wait a month or so and look for an open box of the new Beatles sets to show up at Amazon Warehouse and pay about half price.

At the end of "Strangers in the Night" during the Concert for Americas, Sinatra turned to the conductor, out of ear for the audience but not for the mick, and said, "The worst fucking song I've ever heard."

Was it during the Archaeology TV special that McCartney reminisced about offering Sinatra a shitty-sounding song titled "Suicide"? Which was rejected.
Apparently blissfully unaware that Frankie must have assumed the kid was yanking his chain: unkind rumours about Sinatra attempting suicide several times in the mid-50s are nowadays considered more than just rumours. Tsk tsk Sir Paul.
(I wonder if Lennon ever offered a song to the Chairman? "The Mob is a concept by which we measure our pain." It scans.)

They are assholes for not selling the Blus separately. Yeah, but, as I've droned on about in the past, when the Pepper box came out I sold the empty box, posters, whatever the fuck mementos that were included in one eBay listing and just the DVD in another. That left me with my minty blu-ray. I did something similar with the White Album set for a smaller profit.
From another forum: 07/18/17 - "I got mine for $105 on Amazon after using some reward points. I kept only the CDs and Blu-ray and sold everything else (DVD, books, whatever) for $172 on eBay. (The DVD sold for $50, the rest for $122. Unbelievable!) So mine cost me $-67.00!"
I even messaged the eBay bidders to make sure that they knew it was just the box, posters, etc., no discs. They knew. I'll never understand it. Bidding frenzy I reckon.
