The Owl Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 This October marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the Beatles first single "Love Me Do/ P.S I Love You" (If you dont count the my bonnie release, which alot of people dont i find) I Was curious as to how the music industry and /or might mark to occasion? Surely something will be done to mark the 50th anniversary of the first release by the most influential band of all time? If not that then marking the 50th anniversary of "please please me" early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Probably some sort of repackage / cash in. I remember when they made a huge deal of the Beatles Anthology when I worked at a record store in 1995, they will do something for the 50th I'm sure as it's guaranteed $$$.

GangsterOnBoats Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 If they take the Pink Floyd route, they will rerelease every one of the albums they rereleased at the end of 2009 for twice the money, including a limited edition boxset that actually has a hair rumored to be from Paul McCartney's pillow case. Also, you get a scrap of the bullet that killed John Lennon, one of George Harrison's lost song lyrics about his gods, and a Ringo Starr star, yours to keep if you can make it into another galaxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any opportunity to celebrate this band is a good one and I can't think of a cooler anniversary than the golden one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 An amazing collection of songs that will likely never be matched. Hard to fathom the output was less than ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I just listened to The Beatles first five albums. I literally had a headache through each one. If there was ever such thing as an overpraised band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been listening to the 1st one lately. Still a total classic, after all these years..They literally started it all. The Liverpool lad's will be forever unmatched musically...

Oracle Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I like The Beatles, but they are really overpraised. I really can't listen to a whole album of theirs now without feeling somewhat disappointed. The only albums I still listen to on a semi-regular basis are Abbey Road, Let it Be, and With the Beatles. Looking back at the era, 50 years later, I think they just came along at the right time, at the right place, with the right looks and lyrics to win over all the girls they could. Shame what happened to them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young people of today can't really connect the dots about it all,but the Beatles were something NEW, that society had never experienced before... Even bigger than Elvis-mania, almost 10 yrs. earlier. They took this country by storm! teenage girl's were dropin' like flies at their live gig's, from euphoria..it was unreal..Beatle-mania was unreal. No other band created so much craziness wherever they went, like the beatles..they literally had an army of fanatics, that followed them to the ends of the earth!! Like I said, you had to have been there, to really know the impact. ...Listening to the tune's after the fact, only tells a quarter of the story.
