Re-recording
Recently, I offered some Beatles studio session outtakes of HELP! , and before that an outtake of I Feel Fine, and in the comments I made mention of “The Beatles Recording Sessions,” by Mark Lewisohn. As pointed out by best buddy Denro, Lewisohn admits his 1988 book is now superceded by “Recording the Beatles,” a $100 tome that is essentially self-published by its authors, Kevin Ryan and Brian Kehew.
I had no idea of this book’s existence until today. The first printing of 3000 copies is sold out, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the second printing is already spoken for. But I’d better get in line, as this is an irresistable item that, despite the expense, I must have.

Dr. Macro’s Vision
Somebody calling himself Dr. Macro has posted a lot of super high quality scans of old movie stills, along with many movie clips in WMV format. Worth a look, so click here. Above and below are a couple of stills that he doesn’t have. Grace Kelly sure looked a lot less glamorous without makeup.
