Time

I grew up with the US versions, so I will list that order first.

Rubber Soul (A Beatles Folk Style Album)

Something New (This song configuration rocks)

Beatles VI (Another great configuration of mid 60’s pop)

Revolver (I always felt that the US version came off as a bit more mature)

Hey Jude (This album was such a strange combination of songs from 1964-1969, but I loved every one of them)

Yesterday and Today (A fun and quirky collection of fun and quirky pop songs)

Help! (I always loved the combination of soundtrack with Beatles’ songs, and I would closely re-read and examine that gate-fold for playing time of the entire two sides of the LP. I also always loved how the Indian style soundtrack music foreshadowed The Beatles exploration of that sound one album later and beyond)

Meet The Beatles (Again, I prefer this track combination over the British counter part)

The Beatles Second Album (A satisfying collection, but the cover songs weaken it)

Beatles 65 (Same as above, and what Dave Dexter Jr. did to “I Feel Fine” and “She’s A Woman” was a sonic crime!)

A Hard Day’s Night (“Something New” did it right with most of these same songs. The only thing going for this configuration is the inclusion of the title song and a few of the instrumentals.)

The UK collection that I first got on LP (then CD) in the mid-late 1980’s

The Beatles (White Album)
Rubber Soul
Revolver
Abbey Road
A Hard Day’s Night
HELP!
SPLHCB
Magical Mystery Tour
Yellow Submarine
Beatles For Sale
With The Beatles
Please Please Me
Let it Be

David Lynch’s “Dune”
“Big Trouble in Little China”
“Casino Royale” (1967)
“HEAD” (Staring The Monkees)

I know this post is almost a month old, but since when were these considered bad. I love all of these movies. HEAD is a favorite of mine in particular, fantastic film.

I was going by poor box office results at time of release.

Remember that episode of TNG where Riker was cooking eggs and Pulaski, Data, La Forge, and Warf came in to freeload off of Riker who graciously cooked them omelets. Data didn’t even take a bite, but just rudely picked over it with a disturbed look on his face. Geordi spit the eggs out in front of Riker and made no apology for his despicable and unkind behavior. The doctor also made no attempt to hide her disgust and threw her fork down in front of the first officer with no regard for his feelings. Warf was the only one with any class; he ate every bite and complemented Riker on his cooking. Whether he enjoyed it or not, I do not know but at least he was polite. If I were Riker I wouldn’t have put up with that nonsense and would’ve said, “%&#& shove that #%&% up you G#% damn #%#&%#$ and get the #%&$ out of my quarters.” Just imagine slaving over a small George Forman grill cooking eggs for your so-called friends only to get that type of ungrateful reaction. Maybe I’m just a less patient and less forgiving man than First Officer William Riker.

No, I don’t remember that one.
