@Baden agree?

I probably already posted this, sorry

I don't know. I'm taking off. Cya!

I have been listening to the new album by The Manic Street Preachers 'Ultra Vivid Lament' and I think that it is the best album which I have heard for 2021 so far. I know that there is so much that is great from previous eras, but I do like to keep up to date and find the good stuff from now too...

"When the Music's Over" (11:00)
Strange Days, 1967

& this ... :point:

"You're selling everything you own
How's it feeling?
You never seemed to find a home
Nothing's real now
You're selling everything you own
How's it feeling?"

Molto interessante :cool:

Incidentally, if you don't know already, both John and Paul, separately on solo albums, cover "Bring It On Home To Me" but neither manages (given their own remarkable talents – with some real effort) not remotely to do justice to the original.



"Bring It On Home To Me" (2:37)
B-side single, 1962
Sam Cooke

I didn't know that but I believe you - even better if when I can listen to their versions.
Are you on the case already :wink:
And what do you think is/are the missing ingredient(s) ? Soul ?

I think they both in their respective contexts (and decades) tried too hard to do something 'different' with Sam Cooke's version (rather than slavishly copy) and missed the mark. Paul less so, probably, than John. (NB: In John's defense, the album Rock 'n' Roll Music was 'sabotaged' by producer Phil Specter in one of Specter's prolonged binges of melodrama / madness, etc.) Their versions lack soul, I feel, because they are not well-executed as performances or arrangements. Listen, compare both to the original and judge for yourself (I can't bear to post the links.)

I can always delete them ...

I hear what you mean.
God awful :monkey:

Especially Lennon's rendition. :vomit:

I don't know about you but I can 'hear' a version performed with a similiar Sam Cooke arrangement by John (lead vocal) with Paul (harmony vocal) and Paul and George (backing vocals) circa 1964, maybe on Beatles For Sale in place of "Mr. Moonlight". It could've been a perfect complement to their cover of "Anna (Go To Him)" by (IIRC Sam Cooke's buddy & occasional collaborator) Arthur Alexander from their 1963 debut LP.
