I kind of reckon that everyone who follows me who was planning to back this probably has done already (and it’s really appreciated…)… but if you haven’t and you WERE planning to, there really is only a few hours left to get one of the first or have your dedication in it…

A great interview. Geoff comes across as such a top man - and clearly a drummer’s drummer. A shame he’s been treated so shoddily and brushed under the carpet for so long (not dissimilar to Pete Best!)

Spine tinglingly beautiful!

Aside from the wondrous singles so far, a standout is I Want You.

Reliably top notch, fusing wit with poignancy & genuinely touching moments.

Neil Hannon is a genius - his songs move you in the same way as his namesake… Mr Innes

Glad they’ve seen sense, but I hope not too many people have already paid for the boxset in order to get Anthology 4.

New Beatles info!

Why Don’t we do it in the Road?, which was recorded on 9 October 1968, also makes a brief appearance on another White Album song recorded more than four months earlier.

Have a listen to this isolated backing track from 20/31 May 1968:

(From the fade out of Revolution 1 take 18)
