Canadian Music Store Free Music Notes for Past Masters, Vol. 2Free Music Review: Just a few pointersI own many of the original 45rpm singles from Capitol (USA and Canadian), Swan, Tollie, Vee Jay, and Apple. I find it really interesting how many people don't have a lot of these songs. On the other hand, I was just a poor teenager who could only afford 45rpm singles. So my Beatles experience was from the viewpoint of the singles, not the albums. That has since changed for me, but there are many people who had the albums but not necessarily the singles. That's where Past Masters fills the gap. I thought I would just clear the air about a couple of songs. First, "Let It Be" (the single) has a different guitar track than the album version. The single's guitar track was from an April 1969 session, whereas the album version guitar track was from a January 1970 session. This was intentional. Also, the "Get Back" single has an extra lyric stanza at the end of the song, but the album version deletes this. I prefer the single versions of both songs, but that's strictly my choice. Lastly, the flip side of "Let It Be" is "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)". This is a fun and weird song. I find it amusing that a lot of people are now only discovering this song that I've had in my 45rpm collection since 1970. Well, enough said. Enjoy the Past Masters volumes. |
