    Hi Andrew, great video. In 1995 in Spain, two spanish writers, Magi Crusells and Alejandro Iranzo released a book called "The Beatles, Una filmografia musical", a musical filmography would be the title in english. I don't think ever was translated in english, but it contents all about the movies, the promotional films, Tv shows, live concert films and all about Beatles in Spain, playing in Madrid and Barcelona. Same idea as the book you're talking in this video. All the best.

    I have all those remixes from the early 2000s. I had to hunt those down as I did not purchase them at time of release. Most reviews I read of them conclude that Rock-n-Roll and Mind Games are the best of those remixes. I have to agree with those reviews. Walls and Bridges was only partially remixed. They are my go-to versions of these albums. Enjoy your channel.

    The video was fine. Always interesting to hear your views. I picked up the Kinks set too and agree with your comments pretty much exactly. I purchased the previous 3 sets, that were excellent, and was, like yourself, less familiar Muswell Hibbbillies and to a slightly lesser extent Everybody's in Showbiz. I baulked at the £160 price tag but pounced on the £50 bargain. It has proved to be an excellent set and one I am so glad to have added to the collection.
    Keep up the good work.

    Hello Mr. Dixon
    I love it when you show your latest buys
    The early 2000s remixes of John Lennon’s Rock ‘n’ roll, Mind Games and Walls and Bridges are wonderful
    I hope that we get a Mind Games deluxe Box Set this year or if not, I hope that we get the Sometime in New York City deluxe Box Set, that they promised us last year
    I was really looking forward to that box set, and I was really sad to see that it did not come out
    I am really looking forward to your reviews of those two new books that you showed and I’m looking forward to all your future videos in general
    Anyways, God bless you and your family and please keep the videos coming

    Muswell Hillbillies was originally recorded at Morgan using big old "BBC" type 1930's valve Microphones and gives it a warm sound. IMO it is the Kinks and Ray Davies' creative peak and their most working class album. The box set is indeed wonderful I also got it at that bargain price, but have replaces all the inners with polylined sleeves. If you look up close though the scanning of the sleeves is very blurred compared to the sharpness of my RCA Victor originals from 1971 and 1972. Fantastic album though espesh 20th Century Man.

    Regarding the Rock n roll mixes: that mix together with my father's Vinyl-album were for a long time my two versions. I think I preferred the vinyl. Maybe the cd mix was a bit too hard... And I remember that I liked the way Lennon in the additional songs thanked everybody who had participated on the album, the way that Ringo thanks everybody on the Ringo (1973) album. Is there a connection or influence here...?

    The Kinks set does look amazing, and that's a fantastic price, but the shipping to America almost doubles the cost ($61 + 58.50 shipping). Alas.
    The gatefold design on the Springtime in NY set is like those old Unipak record sleeves. (Maybe they still call them unipaks?) They're kind of a hassle because you can't get the record out without bending the gatefold way back, which is probably why we don't see them much these days.

    I spent January deeply absorbed in Legacy. Best McCartney book I have read, the level of research is on a par with Lewisohn. It shone a completely new light on the early seventies, and I thought I knew a lot about McCartney! What struck me most, and I should have known this, was just how much of a grafter he was after the Beatles. Easy to assume he was smoking a lot of grass, chilling in the country with Linda and making the odd track. How wrong! The Ram sessions went on for months. He was such a perfectionist! Can't wait for Vol 2. That Bob album looks so lush on vinyl - wish Dhani would base the new Dark Horse George releases on that benchmark!

    Great to see some Kinks kontent on the channel! As much as I love the Fab4, the Kinks are my favourite band, and that box set is a doozy. Too bad the discount is swallowed up by the postage, which doubles the price for those of us on this side of the pond, but still pretty tempting...

      @@AndrewDixonMusic Thanks for that link Andrew, I saw your Kinks ranking when it was posted and enjoyed it a great deal. I liked your appreciation of Plastic Man, a song I get a kick out of but one that sealed the deal on Pete Quaife leaving the band (I got to interview Pete by phone when the Kinks were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and he told me as much). One of the greatest nights of my life was when we traveled from Canada to England to see Ray Davies play the York Opera House, and meet him after the show. (And I'm a big Kate Rusby fan too, hope to see her perform live one of these days...)

      @@AndrewDixonMusic It was definitely a tense time, I gather the failure of Village Green Preservation Society (which the band knew was something special, even if the general public did not) put Ray into a creative funk for a spell, and Pete didn't think much of either Plastic Man or the previous non-album single Wonderboy and had doubts about the future of the band. The U.S. Musicians Union ban and the downturn in touring didn't help either. Thankfully, John Dalton was ready to step in since he'd replaced Pete on tour previously after he'd had a car accident, and the band carried on admirably.
      Kate came to Nova Scotia once, for a festival that was five hours away, and I wasn't able to make it to that performance. I blew my chance!

    I love the remix version of Rock and Roll - I think it sounds fantastic. I loved the Mind Games remix too. Not a huge fan of the bonus tracks though, but I'd rather have them than not. I rather like the R&R album, much better than Some Time in NY City. As much as I like Plastic Ono Band... I listen to R&R more.

    I got more research info from Colin Hanton's book than anything else - - Priceless primary memoir for anyone interested in The Quarry Men. I'm so glad he set that down for the record.
    Just ordered old PM bio called FAB - - apparently many primary interviews in the research so I don;t know why I missed it years ago. And published 2 years ago, 150 GLIMPSES OF THE BEATLES that also goes under the title ONE TWO THREE FOUR (exactly the same book).
    It'll be interesting to see how the recession/hyperinflation, set to worsen for the entirety of 2023, affects the Deluxe market: whether it raises or lowers the prices or streamlines the product (they'll still call it 'Deluxe', like 'luxury apartments' have indoor loos).

    I bought the the Kinks set at release last September even if the original £160 price was a little steep. I'd would highly recommend getting the Village Green Preservation 50th anniversary box set if you don't have it already another great set, not bad of a price anymore either, depends on where you look for it but usually about 80 quid at the moment.

    More reading for you. ha! There's a new Paul McCartney book, "Music Is Ideas: The Stories Behind The Songs (Vol. 1) 1970 - 1989" by Luca Perasi. 542 pages! This covers all of the Paul McCartney albums from 1970 - 1989, plus the standalone singles and many officially unreleased tracks. Which is the perfect Paul McCartney era for this to me. I can't think of too many unreleased Paul McCartney songs I care about, after the "Flowers In The Dirt" era.
