Well, Phil Spector didn’t exactly have the best day of his life yesterday. As well as being charged with the murder of a woman in his house, it emerged that the two remaining Beatles (with George consenting before his death) plan to re-release the album ‘Let it Be’, stripped of Spector’s production work.
There’s no doubt Spector did some fantastic work, and he’s one of a select group of people who can truly be said to have redefined pop music, but as a huge Beatles fan, I rarely ever listen to ‘Let it Be’… it just doesn’t sound like a *Beatles* album to me.
Still on the subject of the Beatles, news that a US poster company airbrushed the cigarette from Paul McCartney’s hand on their print of the classic ‘Abbey Road’ album cover proves once again that the world is full of dumbfucks.
