The latest single Now and Then from the world’s Number 1 All Time Band has cemented that claim for all time. Whilst the song is wistfully beautiful, it is also true Beatles engineering. Go using AI to engineer a reunion that the world has longed to see since 1970, it has brought about that very thing, and a resounding success it is too.
Using the latest technology coupled with AI, this has put our beloved Mop Tops right at the forefront of the modern recorded industry, and it is most welcome. The fact that modern pressed and computerised as it is, is not making the headway it should be, we see the present younger generations seeking out something that was Then, but is Now. To quote a famous line, And You Know That Can’t Be Bad. I do however think that this will not be the last offering from The Beatles. There are complete songs still in cans and tapes that are waiting to be discovered. All in the fitness of time
I thought however that it would be good to share something that has just recently come into my possession, as i believe that it is relevant and important to Now and Then, and adds a lot of resonance to the whole proceedings.

I also still have demo items with John and George that could be worked on including a Dick James 45am acetate recording of the whole group performing Bad To Me.

Inside Number Three – The Illustrated History of Apple Records
Inside No3 takes you through that famous door, deep into the minds of all who worked there at Apple Records. This is done also in a very different way. This is not a kiss-and-tell diary, it is through fan adulation and understanding via a personal collection of artifacts and memorabilia that author Nigel Pearce has built up over the last 50 years.

I hope you have backed-up that acetate recording (copied in some way, either analog or digital), and stored the result in a few different places off-site. It would a shame to lose that track for any reason.
Also, have you asked anyone in the Apple Records universe to have the song worked on?
Thanks.
Nigel where can i acquire the Sessions CD? Eddie Veltman eddieveltmanlaw@yahoo.com?
Would like to hear that acetate recording of the group performing Bad To Me, as that was a pretty good song; even if it does come from Robber Baron Dick James.
It is a complete recording, it does need the Giles magic to clean it up, but i have had it for at least 25 years in my collection archives. Maybe one day, you can never say no or never.
