Beatles '73

Post by Bobbert » Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:23 pm

My Amazon Music playlists include an imaginary Beatles album that collects solo Beatles music from 1973, which was the peak year for their solo music. The album was "released" in December 1973 and includes songs from Living in the Material World, Mind Games, Ringo, and Band on the Run.

Here's the LP track list:

Side 1
1. Give Me Love (George)
2. Jet (Paul)
3. Mind Games (John)
4. Photograph (Ringo)
5. The Light that has Lighted the World (George)
6. I Know (I Know) (John)

Side 2
1. Mamunia (Paul)
2. Out the Blue (John)
3. Mrs. Vandebilt (Paul)
4. Be Here Now (George)
5. Six O'Clock (Ringo)
6. Don't Let Me Wait Too Long (George)

Obviously I'm a big fan of George's Living in the Material World album. I left off the Band on the Run single because it doesn't really reflect the Beatles as a continuing group.

The album has a very quiet, mature feeling. What do others think?

Still waiting for The Beatles 1976 compilation "Rock & Roll Music" & 1977 compilation "Love Songs" (both 2 albums on 1 CD)!!

I'd also include "One Day (At A Time)" from Lennon, "Little Lamb Dragonfly" from Paul's 1973 Wings album "Red Rose Speedway", and George's "The Day The World Gets 'Round".

"Jet" isn't really a quiet song, but it's well done. Perhaps "I Lie Around", the B-Side of the summer '73 Wings single "Live And Let Die".

Thanks for the reply. Your point about "Jet" is well-taken. I included it mainly to pile up the singles at the beginning of the album. I intentionally excluded Red Rose Speedway songs to limit the source material to one album per Beatle. That pained me greatly because Red Rose Speedway is one my favorite Paul albums, and "Little Lamb Dragonfly" is an amazing song. I had a hard time limiting the George songs, because Material World is my favorite George album.
