The Beatles Classic Ballad - “And I Love Her” Released In 1964

Beatles Remastered Stereo CD Box Set

buy cialis online target=”_blank” href=”http://www.musicbyday.com/and-i-love-her-the-beatles/922/”>”And I Love Her” by The Beatles has long been one of my very favorite ballads by the Fab Four. I’m writing today to share a close look at this song for those who love it as much as me.

“And I Love Her” was the 5th song on The Beatles third album A Hard Day’s Night. This this great album is{, of course,} the soundtrack to the film with the same title. A majority of Beatles experts consider it to be a big step forward and the best of the band’s first four albums. It is also the only Beatles LP to contain only songs by John Lennon & Paul McCartney (this is mostly because their later LPs included tunes by lead guitarist George Harrison too.)

In some ways “And I Love Her” is a very simple, very repetitive song and one could certainly argue that its lyrics are kind of trite. But the melody is remarkable enough and there are enough subtle musical ideas that the song is still a great one despite these things which could be considered weaknesses.

Something that’s really cool about this track is how it goes into four different keys throughout the song This is because it sways back and forth between major and its relative minor through most of the song and then during Harrison’s tasteful guitar solo the key goes up a half-step and finishes there when the vocals come back in.

On the Anthology to buy cialis effects CDs we hear an earlier version of the song that has a full band sound and doesn’t have the cool guitar riff that helps make online cheap without prescription buy Camagra the final version memorable. The huge difference between this early version and the official version shows how a different arrangement and some cool riffs can really make a song work.

As a surprising final buy Glycomet online touch “And I Love Her” ends on the major version of the relative minor “1″ chord. In English this means instead of the expected D minor at the end it ends on a D major chord. Lennon & McCartney were brilliant at adding these little touches to their songs. 

Order The Beatles Remastered Stereo CD Box Set to hear this song in all of its remastered glory. It sounds delicious.

The Beatles Are In ITunes!

Monday, December 27th, 2010

Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set

After the years of lawsuits between Apple Computer and Apple Corps. were finally settled in 2007, it seemed like only a matter of time before The Beatles were finally available on iTunes and on November sale cialis 16, 2010 that time did indeed come! The Beatles are in the iTunes Music Store.

Before I tell you about exactly what Beatles stuff is available in iTunes, I think I should flesh out the back story a bit of why it’s taken 10 years for The Beatles to join this most popular online music store.

Way back in 1968 The Beatles started a company called Apple Corps{ (pronounced “Apple Core”)} which is still operating in 2010. Apple Corps began as a big idea of a company that would be in all kinds of businesses but today it exists almost entirely for just The Beatles recordings.  In 1976 Apple Computer started up and in 1978 Apple Corps sued buy High Absorption Magnesium online Apple Computer over the Apple name. There were two further lawsuits (in 1989 and 2003) before the dispute was settled for good just three years ago.

So what Beatles material is available to buy at the iTunes music store? Their entire remastered stereo catalog! It can be purchased all at once (like The Beatles in Stereo Box Set) or album by album or song by song (the 1st time that every single Beatles track has been available to purchase by itself.)

What’s not yet available to buy at iTunes? The mono online cheap Camagra without prescription buy versions of The Beatles first 10 albums. Those are still only available to be bought as a part of The Beatles in Mono Box Set. I believe the idea is that most casual fans will prefer the stereo versions so it is better not to confuse them by having the mono versions available as well.

As a cool bonus iTunes is also letting people stream the Fab Four’s first US concert (held in Washington DC on February 11, 1964){ in its entirety}. Even as a rather discount cialis dosage enormous fan of the band I had never seen this before, and what’s really cool is that it is completely free.

John Lennon’s Debut Solo Album

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Beatles Stereo CD Box Set

Plastic Ono Band, John Lennon’s debut solo album, is also his best one. The album contains cialis online Lennon’s most emotionally intense songs. Not to online Camagra buy cheap without prescription say that Lennon didn’t record more good songs after this album, but I do think the rest of his solo career is a bit of a let down in comparison dosage delivery cialis to this fantastic debut.

“Mother opens the album. In this song Lennon works through his deepest childhood purchase cialis issues. For those of you who don’t know his biography that specifically means singing about his mother and father leaving him to grow up with his aunt. And when he was a teenager his mom was killed in an auto accident by an off duty drunk cop. This is what “My Mummy’s Dead” is referencing.

The second track, “Hold On,” is a simple song that could be seen as a “throwaway” especially with the ridiculous “cookie!” that you can hear at about 1 minute into it But I definitely don’t see it that way, it’s a great link between the much more intense “Mother” and “I Found Out.”

This album features some of Lennon’s most heavy recordings including “I Found Out” which has an awesomely raunchy guitar tone and some really great lyrics and “Well Well Well” which showcases the “primal scream” method he had been using in his therapy at the time.

The guitar part of “Look at Me” sounds an awful lot like “Julia” from The White Album but that has buy Clomicalm online never stopped me from loving it just the same. It is such a pretty song that I can’t resist it. I think what really makes this album work so wonderfully is the contrast between the sweet songs like “Love,” “Look at Me,” and “Hold On” and the very intense songs like “Working Class Hero,” “I Found Out,” and “Well Well Well.” And then there’s “God” which isn’t that great musically but which has some of his most insightful lyrics. 

Plastic Ono Band is one of eight John Lennon post Beatles solo albums contained in the new John Lennon Remastered CD Box Set. This solo box set is following in the footsteps of the very successful Remastered Beatles CD Stereo Box Set and Beatles Mono Box Set released in 2009.

The Beatles Last Five Albums

Friday, July 16th, 2010

The Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set

The Beatles final five albums were Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, and Let It Be. This article includes a short overview of each of them.

All five of these albums are included in the Remastered Beatles Stereo Box Set but just the first two are included in the Remastered Beatles Mono Box Set.

Magical Mystery Tour (1967) - I would argue this is the band’s most underrated album and that’s probably because it is not really an album from a purist’s POV so some people have a difficult time giving it real respect for the excellent songs it includes. Magical Mystery Tour is the Fab Four at their most purposefully psychedelic before they began to pull it back a bit and as someone who loves trippy music, that makes it an obvious favorite of buy Vitamin B-12 online mine.

The White Album (1968) - There is no album that I prefer listening to over The White Album. It does not flow as well as Abbey Road or Sgt. Pepper and you could certainly make an argument that it’s not as consistently great as Revolver or Rubber Soul are but I enjoy listening to it repeatedly for the huge variety of styles that it brings to my ears. This 30 track album is a true sprawling masterpiece.

Yellow Submarine (1969) - This “album” is not really a Beatles album because it includes only four new songss that weren’t already released on a previous album. But still “It’s All Too Much” and “Hey Bulldog” alone make it worth checking out.

Abbey Road (1969) - The favorite album of lots of Beatles fans and for many very good reasons. The most obvious reason is the stunning sale cialis “suite” of Camagra buy without prescription cheap online side two. And of course there are the classic songs like “Come Together,” “Something,” and “Here Comes The Sun.” Abbey Road is also the most smooth and most “modern” sounding production cialis low cost of their career.

Let It Be (1970) - This was the last Beatles album released but Abbey Road review supplier cialis was, in fact, the final Beatles album that was recorded. It’s a tad messy by their standards but it does still contains some legendary tracks like “Get Back” and “The Long and Winding Road.”

Early Lennon/McCartney Originals: Please Please Me

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Remastered Please Please Me

A without buy Chrysin-XY online prescription buy Camagra online cheap big part of what set The Beatles apart from other bands early ’60s was that they were songwriters. Eight of the fourteen songs included on their debut 1963 album{, Please Please Me} were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. In this article you can find a track by track look at those eight originals.

“I Saw Her Standing There” - This was the first track on The Beatles first album. This song was written and sung by Paul but John did help him out with the lyrics by replacing buy cialis online the line “never been a beauty queen” with “you know what I mean.” It’s “one, two, three, four” intro was later referenced in the intro of “Taxman” (a very different feeling although it’s the same words.)

“Misery” - This was actually the last original Beatles song recorded for Please Please Me, but it was the second one on Pleas Please Me’s tracklisting. delivery generic cialis It was written by Lennon/McCartney to be sang by pop star Helen Shapiro but it was turned down.

“Ask Me Why” - This John Lennon original was first released as the b-side to the “Please Please Me” single which was their first number one hit in the UK.

Please Please Me” - The song their first album was brand cialis for sale named after is considered to be the best song on the album by most critics. This was the song that really made John, Paul, George & Ringo big stars in their home country. Over a year later “I Want to Hold Your Hand” would do the same thing in the United States.

Love Me Do” - This was the band’s very first single and because of that it’s certainly very historically important. That said, I think that the song is among their worst and I think it gets far more attention than it really deserves.

“P.S. I Love You” - This was the b-side to “Love Me Do.” In some ways I prefer it, but that is probably mostly because I have not heard it nearly as many times.

“Do You Want To Know A Secret?” - This song was written by John Lennon and George Harrison sang the lead vocals.

“There’s A Place” - This song has the most mature lyrics on their debut album. It’s an early indication that the Fab Four would not always sing about how much they loved some young woman.

With the 2009 release of the Remastered Beatles CD Box Sets all of these songs can be heard in deliciously remastered stereo and mono mixes.

The Beatles USB Memory Stick Contains The Beatles Remastered Stereo Discography

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

The buy Geriforte online Beatles Stereo Box Set

People have been waiting forever for The Beatles legendary albums to be available as downloadable mp3s so that their songs could be put onto a Zune or an iPod easily. As of now, The Beatles are still not available for download at the iTunes Store or AmazonMP3 however there is a very cool thing called The Beatles USB which holds all of the 2009 Beatles remastered stereo songs Camagra online cheap buy without prescription as mp3s.

The Beatles USB includes everything that is in The Beatles cialis tabs review in Stereo Remastered Box Set except in a much smaller form! With this little memory stick you will be able to easily carry The Beatles complete stereo discography around with you wherever you go in your in your back pocket.

When I tell you that the USB memory stick includes everything in the stereo box set, I really do mean everything. Yes, it even includes the previously unreleased photographs and the liner notes. And yes, cialis drug impotence it includes the short documentaries on the making of each album on the DVD.

On top of all of that, this USB memory stick actually includes 24bit FLAC versions of their stereo albums which are higher quality files than those found on CDs! Compact discs are in 16bit quality, these FLAC files are 24bit. This really makes this flash drive a “must have” for any audiophile who needs to have these timeless songs in the highest quality currently available.

One negative aspect is that this memory stick doesn’t include mono mixes that are in The Beatles in Mono Box Set. If you really want to hear the classic mono mixes then you’ll need to buy the mono box set (at least for now.)

I bought both of the box and the flash drive because I am a Beatles freak, but I realize not everyone has that kind of money available to spend on music (even when the music as fabulous as this.) If you are on a tight budget then you will have to consider how you most commonly listen to your music. Do you play discs or do you play music on sale cialis your computer and on your mp3 player? If it’s the latter then the USB device is probably what you want.

With The Beatles (1963)

Monday, December 28th, 2009

order cialis value=”true”>cialis tabs review width=”425″ height=”344″>

The Beatles Stereo Box Set (Please Please Me + The White Album)

With The Beatles is definitely not my favorite Beatles album, in actuality it is probably their least good non Yellow Submarine album. But that isn’t to say I do not love hearing it in it’s 2009 fabulous remastered format nor is it to imply that this album does not have any great tracks on it because that’s not the case.

I do believe that when considering just the eight Beatles originals on the record, it is arguably the worst collection of originals the lads from liverpool ever released on an LP (the underrated Beatles For Sale (1964) has a far better collection of eight originals) on the other hand, the six covers does female cialis work on this album are quite good (better than the six covers on Beatles For Sale, which was their fourth album.)

My favorite Beatles originals to listen to on the With The Beatles Remastered CDs (mono and stereo) are the first three songs: “It Won’t Be Long,” “All I’ve Got To Do,” and “All My Loving.” Particularly, I’ve been loving song #2 “All I’ve Got To Do” in mono. It sounds delicious.

Another original track that has actually been growing on me a bit is song #9, “Hold Me Tight.” Paul McCartney wrote and sang this song and he’s dismissed it as beign a “work song”. And while I’ll agree the song isn’t perfect, I think it has a certain charm.

“Till There Was You” is my favorite cover on the album. It is an extremely cheesy sickly Camagra online cheap buy without prescription sweet love song but I think in some strange way it works because of that. The album closer, “Money” is an excellent way to end the record. When I listen close to the versions of this song included in remastered box sets I realize that the song rocks much harder than I ever realized.

For most of the albums I do prefer the stereo versions(especially with the later albums which are my favorite, anyway) when it comes 2009 Beatles box sets but I do think that this album sounds a bit better in mono than in buy Prevacid online stereo.

Beatles For Sale (1964) - An Underrated Beatles Album

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

The Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set

Beatles For Sale (1964) is a frequently dismissed Beatles album (as overlooked as any Beatles album can be anyway.) I think that is a bit of a shame because while it’s definitely not among The Beatles greatest studio albums, it does have some good qualities and I do think it’s worth cialis buy delivery taking a good listen to.

Particularly I think the eight original Lennon/McCartney songs on the record are quite good (even if not quite as good as the original songs on A Hard Day’s Night and Help!) What really stands out about these eight originals is that they’ve got a certain cohesive feeling to them. I think these songs would work fantastically as an EP. And this is actually how I listen to this album anyway, I just skip all of the covers, usually.

The album really starts off with a bang with John’s “No Reply,” “I’m A Loser,” & “Baby’s In Black.” These are 3 good tunes and all of them have this dark introspective mood that connects the tracks together wonderfully.

I am not a huge fan of the covers on this album, unfortunately. Even more sadly is that the not so great covers make up virtually half of the album (6 of the 14 songs are cover songs.) The only covers that I have any patience for are Buddy Holly’s “Words of Love” and Chuck Berry’s “Rock and Roll Music” But even those two are not nearly as good as original Beatles songs.

The most popular of those Lennon/McCartney originals on this record is probably “Eight Days A Week” which is a song that both online cheap buy without prescription Camagra Lennon and McCartney dismissed and they never played it live. However despite that, it’s a good tune. No, it isn’t among their greatest work, however it’s acomplia on obesity catchy and the fade-in opening is really cool.

All of the songs on the CD sound so much better buy Extendaquin online on the new digitally remastered discs than they did on the previous 1980s CDs. I definitely recommend that you buy The Beatles Stereo Box Set and The Beatles Mono Box Set and give both the stereo and mono remastered versions of this album a thorough listen before you go about your day. 

I am not saying that the remastered version of Beatles For Sale is going to be your favorite cialis no rx CD, but I do think you will find that’s much better than it’s reputation. I think it’s better than Please Please Me and With The Beatles.

The Beatles Remasters: Stereo & Mono

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

online tablets cialis type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″>

The Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set

The Beatles classic cialis LPs were first remastered digitally and released on CD in the 1980s at that time mastering digitally was a relatively new art and since the 80s a lot has been found out about how to remaster best but even more important is that at that time the digital technology was still in it’s infancy in comparison to today.

The many advances in digital technology and all of the knowledge learned on how to most effectively remaster original analog tapes digitally have been put to very good use with the Beatles remasters of 2009. On September 9 The Beatles released both The Beatles in Stereo and The Beatles Mono Box Set. And both remastered box sets sound acomplia rimonabant pill wonderful. If you have not yet heard them then I recommend that you hear The Beatles remastered as soon as possible.
buy Saw Palmetto online
Which flavor of remastered Beatles should a Beatles fan get? Well for this guy the answer was simple: “both of them” but if you can only afford you will probably want to go with the Beatles in Stereo because it contains all thirteen of their studio LPs and most fans will prefer listening to the stereo mixes in comparison to the mono mixes.

The mono set is aimed at serious fans who want to hear all of the differences between the stereo & mono mixes (and sometimes they are quite different) and for fans who want to listen to The Beatles how they originally listened to them (this, of course, applies to older fans who were around for The Beatles in person in the 60s.)

I bought both the online without prescription Camagra cheap buy mono and stereo box sets and if you have the cash, you should definitely do that as well. They both have their negatives and positives and in my opinion they are both legitimate versions of The Beatles amazing discography.

And while you are at it, you may want to buy The Beatles Rock Band game too, it’s a lot of fun. And I don’t normally enjoy playing video games.

The Beatles Remasters: Vinyl

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Some people feel that vinyl is the most ultimate way to listen to music. They think that there’s just a certain magic to seeing the “black circle” (to quote Pearl Jam) spin and knowing that the sound you’re hearing is coming from the needle rather than a series of 1s and 0s.

It’s this buy Bystolic online “magic feeling” (to quote Paul McCartney) that has Beatles addicts very excited about the rumors of The Beatles 2009 remasters (which have sold extremely well on CD) making their way onto vinyl in in March of 2010. Camagra without prescription buy cheap online Although as of this moment no release date has been officially set, it is known that buy cialis Apple (The Beatles Apple, not the computer company) is working on a Vinyl record release of The Beatles remastered stereo mixes but there’s no indication that the mono remasters will also be released on vinyl.

The Beatles vinyl records that are currently available were created using the old 1987 digital remasters so these 2010 vinyl records should be significantly improved in sound quality like the new CDs are when compared to the ‘87 discs.

I am definitely planning on ordering The Beatles Remastered Vinyl Records Box Set as soon as cialis online discount it is available (I’m positive it’ll sell out very quickly) even though I have already bought all of the remasters on CD.

According to the information that I have read, the new Beatles vinyl will be available individually and in a vinyl box set The current rumored date for release is March 16, 2010 but there is a good chance that will not end up as the actual date.

In the meantime I strongly recommend that you buy The acomplia pharmacies Beatles in Stereo Box Set and The Beatles in Mono CD Box Set. They both sound awesome. I personally end up listening to stereo box set more commonly (as I just prefer listening to music mixed in stereo more than in mono, in general) but the mono versions are very interesting.
