The Beatles - Living in the Material World 1973

-

 



     Continuing with the Beatles imaginary albums, here is 1973. All four had an album out and they all had hits on the radio. From Lennon's Mind Games I used the title track, "Out of the Blue" and "I Know (I Know). McCartney's Red Rose Speedway provided "Big Barn Red", "When the Night" and the hugely popular "My Love." From Harrison's record Living in the Material World, I grabbed not only the title track but the title for this album. I also used his "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" and close the album with "That Is All", which has George singing harmony with himself half way through that I like to imagine is Paul and John with him. Starr's 1973 album was called Ringo, and John, Paul and George all appear on it. I pulled "I'm the Greatest" which Lennon wrote and both he and George play on. I also gave Ringo a rare second song, "Photograph", which he wrote with Harrison.

The Beatles - Everest 1970

        Many a person on the internet has come up with "what if The Beatles stayed together" so I was going to avoid this. Years ago, a co-worker and I talked about this idea and, dog gone it, it keeps going through my head, so here we are. Everest was what Abbey Road was going to be called. Since they didn't use it then I figured they could use it on their next album. John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band  from 1970 has Ringo on drums. I chose two songs from the record, "Working Class Hero" and "God" (which has Billy Preston ((from the Get Back sessions)) on grand piano. I also included the single "Instant Karma!" which has Billy Preston and George Harrison. From Paul's album McCartney  I grabbed "Junk" (which he wrote in Marrakesh when he was with the Beatles), "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "Every Night". George Harrison's All Things Must Pass  supplied three songs, "My Sweet Lord", "What Is Li...

Pink Floyd Radio K.A.O.S. 1987

       This post is similar to the Genesis album I put together last November. Roger Waters left Pink Floyd to become a solo act. David Gilmour took the role of leader and the band continued. Feel free to make any comparisons between Roger Waters and Petere Gabriel. To put Waters back into Pink Floyd I chose "Home" and "The Tide Is Turning" from Waters' 1987 album Radio K.A.O.S. as well as "Going to Live in L.A.", the b-side of "Radio Waves" and "Get Back to Radio", the b-side to "Sunset Strip". From Pink Floyd's 1987 album A Momentary Lapse of Reason I pulled "Signs of Life", "Learning to Fly", "One Slip", "On the Turning Away" and "A New Machine parts 1 and 2". https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHnLE0OxajFcUf9F4Qc6b5W1gJTDYiYE&si=XraQwYeblpbx_Jm_
