saw a post of someone genuinely crashing out and begging paul to "stop making everything about john" cause "john was so bad to him" had me genuinely rolling on the floor these people don't get him at all

like don't worry about paul he's where he wants to be, chatting it up with the john in his head like that one post where that person's pocket michael jackson tells them what to order at mcdonald's

George Harrison’s home studio, Friar Park Studio Henley-on-Thames (F.P.S.H.O.T.), as designed and photographed by Veale Associates (VA) Studio Design, and courtesy of va-studiodesign.com; George in his studio on 12 June 1978, photographed by Arnold Newman, photo © Arnold Newman/Getty Images.

“Of all the former ‘Fabs,’ to use his customary term, George Harrison has remained the greatest creative homebody. […] George has rolled out of bed and returned again and again to Friar Park Studios, Henley-on-Thames (or F.P.S.H.O.T., for short) to tinker, compose and do his formal recording. […] Besides ‘Cloud Nine,’ George recorded the ‘Dark Horse,’ '33 1/3’ and 'George Harrison’ albums in his F.P.S.H.O.T. atelier, located in what was formerly a ballroom of the house. 'The studio was installed round 1971 and there’s been a few updates, cause when I originally put the studio in it was a 16-track. In terms of the monitoring system, after all those years in the Abbey Road EMI Studios, I put in Altec speakers. My experience in Abbey Road was that whenever the Beatles worked there and we thought we had a great sound, we’d play it back on the Altecs and it sounded terrible — ordinary. So they’re very boring in a way — and this must sound strange — but they’re also accurate! See, the Altecs don’t flatter the sound; it’s not easy to get good bass and drum sounds with them. But when I built my studio I didn’t want hype. I wanted what I’m hearing to be what it is. That way, when you play it back anyplace else it sounds fantastic! […] I’ve since made F.P.S.H.O.T. into a 24-track board. […] I’m going to get a few different choice modules made soon, but I don’t really want to go for a brand new SSL board and all that. Automation is nice in some respects, but I got my first skills at Abbey Road, so I prefer the old components, and spending a friendly weekend getting the manual mix you want. Just as I much prefer my ancient Fender Strat.’” - Musician, November 1987 (x)

Looking at the… 8 different versions of Mind Games (1973) currently available on Spotify.com got me thinking of the George Harrison estate.

I completely understand wanting to let things just be and respect George’s wishes (especially since he has passed in many even young people’s lifetimes). But can we get like… something… anything???

There are currently 5 things released after his passing on Spotify! FIVE. Only ATMP and LITMW have available demos and outtakes. Only them are even REMASTERED. I think a lot of his discography suffers from alienating or badly-aged production and while I’m not advocating for a let it be naked situation I think they deserve at least some attention.

From the top of my head I would assume there would be a lot of very cheery and less 80s sounding than the original demos from hit album Cloud Nine. And what about an original version of Somewhere in England? Like how George originally wanted it before the executives got involved. Wouldn’t that be a very logical thing to make??? (Also please someone get on Gone Troppo so I can actually hear him sing PLEASE)

It just saddens me how little attention his solo career has not just from the public but from the estate as well.

Also give us early takes vol 2 aka the Bob Dylan cover album. I KNOW you have the material for it.

"is paul mccartney closeted?" is a question with no clear answer in the universe

menlove

i think he knows 😭 even outside of fans literally spamming, theres definitely been a huge rise in people equating john and linda to being the loves of pauls life (his man on the run documentary, some fairly recent interviews, john and paul love story in songs bestseller, etc). ik hes always equated his partnership to johns like a marriage/divorce but idk it feels a lil diff this time

hes also been a lot more comfortable and forward in asserting himself as a close friend / cherished partner of johns after years of a lot of doubt, i think hes kind of at least a little pleased with this new perception even if hes never gonna admit anything

literallyyyyy like I don't think he's ever gonna come out I really don't and I especially don't think he's ever gonna cop to anything with john bc it's a complex legacy thing and john is very dead and can't speak for himself. but I think post get back and post ian leslie's book and like Multiple articles written about it it's like. less of a fringe view now. he gets to play in that space a little more without feeling like it's going to blow up or end badly. he just gets to have fun with his fans which paul loves to do

The latest episode of the great Beatles Films pod. This interview, in all its awkward insanity is one my absolute favorites

I love watching Paul's face light up when he sees John. I also can't get over Paul immediately offering up his sunglasses and John just handing over his glasses, without question, for Paul to keep for him.
