I FORGOT TO MENTION: Band on the Run ½ Speed, the McCartney Japanese CD releases and the Midas Man movie. Midas Man was okay BUT I’d never watch it again. Not unless I get a sudden craving for a tiny Lennon. The ½ speed remaster of BotR, not gonna lie… I’ve not even listened to it. I’m just collecting them. That’s half the problem isn’t it!!! The Japanese CD’s… I’m not touching them with a barge pole!
Would love to see a release of the ‘Star Club’ audio which I believe Peter Jackson has. Hopefully he can use that separation technology to clean it up and balance all the vocals, guitars etc….. Great vid
The Star Club tapes actually already sound better than I realized. Here on UA-cam there are short samples from an auction house of the un doctored tapes, they sound surprisingly good and the past few years there's been fan remasters that actually make them sound pretty reasonable. It seems to me the biggest problem was with the 70's and 80's iterations people messed with them too much and that the tech wasn't there yet to beef up the sound.
I always enjoy your videos for the humor and because you tell the truth. I share your opinion of the Mind Games album, although I did buy the CD of the remix, in case it would change my mind. It didn't. I keep going back to the McCartney well, but he has been disappointing me for years. When you say, "I love him," then whisper into the microphone, "but I hate him, too," I can totally relate.
Great video love your humour. I agree with you the John Grant album is awesome well recommended. The only thing from the Beatles American albums I purchased was A Hard Days Night, most reviewers slated it but I’m really enjoying….have a great Christmas and New Year ….see you next year 👍👏🍷
Tasty news from the Harrison & Lennon camps: "My Sweet Meat City" will be out on limited edition "mince brown" or "mints white" vinyl as soon as they've cleared the rights.
Always enjoy your videos and takes. Totally agree with the escalating fleecing of the vinyl buying community. I still bought a few select albums this year, but I bought more used and new CDs because vinyl prices are just out of hand right now. That said, they're also putting out a lot of massive deluxe CD sets too. I'm a big Dylan fan, but I had to pass on the giant 1974 tour CD set. The prices aren't as crazy on the CD side, but I don't know that I need 20 CD box sets, you know? Have you heard some of the pre-release tracks from Ringo's upcoming country album? I'm intrigued by that one.
I’m not a huge Ringo fan if I’m honest, so I’ve not sought them out. What recent stuff I have heard of Ringos has a healthy dose of autotune on it which bugs me.
@@dinnerwithgreedo I'm not a huge Ringo fan either. I do like his first few solo records though, and I think his stabs at country in the past worked pretty well. I think T-Bone Burnett is producing the album. I thought the first song released sounded pretty good. The second one with Alison Krauss sounded quite good musically, but lyrically it left a bit to be desired.
That John Grant album is one of my favorites. Beautiful and darkly humorous. I was surprised to discover that Sinead O'Connor used to cover the title track to open her shows and sang the hell out of it. All I want next year is Let It Be and Concert for Bangla Desh on Blu-ray and perhaps the Walls and Bridges box.
@ I was in hmv the other day and saw the American albums, £40 each! One record, black no bells and whistles, basic standard £40! What’s going on there?! As you said in the video it’s our own fault for buying the stuff, well apart from the ones who got it for free! 😂
Thanks for the recommendation on John Grant - will check it out! Regarding SPLHCB film... good luck with that! It's an "Interesting" film. Next year, like many people, I'd really like a Rubber Soul box set. Don't know if that will happen or not but hey, fingers crossed. Great overview of the year. I hope you have an amazing end to the year and thanks for a fun year of content.
Hi, where do you get your outer sleeves for your One Hand Clapping LP and living in the Material World LP as they looke decent and I need to get some - any particular size or thickness required for those titles?
Great overview of a year of absurdity. There was also the Beatles RSD singles... first the tiny Ed Sullivan show ones with the specialty record player, then the Black Friday re-release of "I Want To Hold Your Hand/ I Saw Her Standing There" that had the US Capitol swirl label, but has a small hole like a UK single. Who asked for that? You have become one of my favorite UA-cam channels and I also look forward to your videos, keep them coming for 2025. The best part of this one was when you made Oasis disappear.
One Hand Clapping was the first McCartney anything I bought since McCartney III in 2020. He had three solid years of lame releases. I'm hoping 2025 brings London Town and BTTE archive sets or at least a new album.
i was eating ice cream when you said "a sh!t car" i nearly spit it out :D :D I would love to see Sometime In New York City released but without the Yoko stuff. I know, call me bad but her addition on that album is horrible. I look forward to your videos :) Keep them coming :)
There's always someone that says this. Yes you are right BUT in this situation, when the record companies know there are people that'll buy anything related to the Beatles... they take advantage of that in a way is pure greed. Like I say in this video, WE need to take ownership of why these things cost way too much.
Love this video. I've been saying this for a long while now, it's all about the money, isn't it? When e-bay is the best alterative then you know how ripped off you're getting.
@@dinnerwithgreedo All you have to do is a little work in searching them out. I've found various Beatles records and CD's, as well as other collectables for a reasonable price on E-bay, you don't have to pay full price to Apple for everything Beatles!
I know you don't really like John's Mind Games I was like you not one of John's best but now I will tell you this new remix has brought new life for Mind Games to me it could be better than Living in the material world! Sean Lennon and team has pumped in new life he turned up heat I know it's not Led ZeppelinIV but it really is good! Your right The Beatles '64 needed a better director and someone who knows The Beatles and this Director not the right director for this project looks like they put this together over one weekend hopefully 2025 is more thought out and put a decent price on each project your right that Mind Games super duper ultimate box that was ridiculous maybe worth $300 American dollars but I hope it wins a Grammy up for best art work for a box set and Now and Then up for record of the year and Rock song of the year! Great video!
no one reviews what anything SOUNDS like these days, they rant about upcoming latest vinyl, cd release, they receive it, they open the box they, show us whats inside. then they put it all back together again and thats the last we see or HEAR from it..the whole reason to buy it, is for its musical content surely ?...real dust gathering stuff !, but gotta have it !!
I delayed getting LITMW on lilac vinyl as I wanted to know sound quality v the black vinyl. I never found out which sounded better and lilac sold out. As you say, lots of unboxing and nothing on sound quality of different formats and versus original.
I only lasted about 4 minutes into your video. You are entitled to your opinion, and it is as valid as anyone's. I just didn't care for your negativity so I bailed without finishing.
Well thank you. I’m only negative when I think people are being taken advantage of. It grinds my gears. I do recommend some great albums in this vid. Seek out the John Grant album.
@@dinnerwithgreedo Thanks for the reply. I never complain about the cost of Beatles items - I just don't buy them if I think they are too expensive. Also, as a first generation American Beatles fan, I disagree with your "Nobody wanted" the US albums in mono. Maybe nobody outside of the USA wanted them, but remember the USA was, and is, the largest Beatles market. I certainly wanted them. Have a nice holiday season and New Years 2025! (I removed my "Thumbs Down" because I rushed into it and your courtesy in conversation with me indicated that you didn't deserve it.)
Agree, The McCartney camp backed off deluxe issues ( imo) Because they got burned with the last issue - the super deluxe Flaming Pie, which didn’t sell out ! The Lennon camp will probably get burned with the stupid Mind Games cube set also , enough already!
A new Paul album would have really made 2024 a solid "Beatles" year (hopefully the first half of 2025 it arrives), but I did really enjoy One Hand Clapping and streaming Mind Games box...I did buy the 2LP Mind Games for the outtakes and nice gatefold copy, but the two huge sets of MG, nah, not for me.
Agreed that the vinyl buying community are largely asking to be ripped off by paying for all sorts of things just in order to be completist - meditation mixes can surely be streamed quite happily for example. Also agreed that by and large Beatles content has been thin gruel - having said that Beatles '64 is clearly aimed at the next gen young fans who haven't seen the Maysels footage yet. (I know of such fans and was one once...) The US albums are definitely a cash cow, especially since they're mono and therefore not even the weird American bastardisations. Personally I think we could have had better than this. Disagreed that Mind Games is a bad album - it was written up as too much of a masterpiece, but it's a solid work and I enjoy having my CDs of it.
So I know there’s loads of people, like yourself, that like Mind Games. I just think in his body of work, it’s a weak album. Here’s my review: ua-cam.com/video/2wZbYnRCe_E/v-deo.htmlsi=xbXEpc7PbdQqL_NM
@@dinnerwithgreedo Yeah I remember watching this back when it came out. I like your scoring system and by that measure it would be an 11/12 for me. Interestingly you like One Day at a Time whereas I think the falsetto doesn't work. Otherwise every other track works for me. (I don't really count Nutopian International Anthem as a track, it's an easter egg imo). Personally I'd argue complaining about Lennon singing about Yoko or politics is a bit like complaining that Roger Waters only writes songs about war and death - true, but it's just what they do. I suppose you're in the leave it camp and I'm in the take it camp. The melodies and lyrics are strong enough for me to enjoy, personally. Bring the Lucie has a good sense of humour, there's genuine pathos in Out the Blue, Aisumasen has some great playing and You Are Here is sweet.
When I dared suggest that the owner of another popular Beatles site gave a good review to the meditation con because he wanted to continue to get free bees …. Well !!!!
I know what you mean. There’s a guy I really like, really knowledgeable… I just can’t trust his reviews coz he gets free stuff. He may give a totally honest review… but the problem is there’s that doubt there.
Since this is the internet, I'll say that I am not impressed with the album Living in the Material World. Give Me Love is the only one that would pass muster on any hypo 1973 Beatles album, with work on the structure and middle 8 from the other 3.
Hello Paul! :) I'm not sure if you bought John Grants second album "Pale green ghosts"? But it's as good as Queen of Denmark... some say better but, it's subjective... also JG (as I like to call him) was in a band in the 90s called the Czars. They were also fookin top... I may have mentioned them before but you've probably forgotten? (Rolls eyes..... could you roll my eyes back please? I'm gonna need them). Oh yeh, the band on Queen of Denmark are called Midlake... pretty cool "alternative" band... Worth checking out imo..... I've been spending all my spare dosh on back issues of 2000ad and, like you said, there is always one more thing to collect!! I think I may go back to spending all my spare dosh on drugs and fast women? Anyhoo... hope you have a very happy Christmas and all the best to you and your lovely wife :) Oh yeh, the answer is meat :)
When are we getting the dinnerwithgreedo Beatles Christmas Singles COVERS though uncle Paul? And by that I mean uncle Paul does the covers. xxx Always enjoy your vids mate, even though Beatles are not exactly my favourites! 2025 gonna be DWG's year!
I have a first press of each solo album by each Beatle up to a point, and I do listen to these LPs. I never collect any new remix LPs or anniversary LPs. They don’t mean anything. But they create FOMO as it is a given that each and every release will be worth 5x more than its retail price by next year.
So the Lennon and Harrison remixes sound amazing so if you like those first pressings, they’re definitely worth checking out (as the Lennon stuff particularly are a vast improvement). I agree with everything else you said though. Like I say in this video, we also need to take ownership of why these things are so expensive and the way they’re marketed to us. If we didn’t fall for this shit, they wouldn’t continue to take advantage of us.
I don't think the industry is doing anything for collectors, it's just a money making machine. I used to be a collector but (to quote George) 'it's all too much'! Each deluxe edition is trying to outdo the last, how are they going to outdo Mind Games? Maybe they won't if it hasn't sold. I bought all the remixed Lennon CDs in the early 2000s, then it all went back to the original mixes in 2010, then "ultimate" remixes! They'll just keep finding new ways of recycling the same material until it no longer sells.
Not to mention 'The Beatles Story' only available in the US album box for about 100 quid more..... I want Rubber Soul and Help! next year.Love John Grant, his albums 'Pale Green Ghosts' and 'Grey Tickles,Black Pressure' are also great. Here's my recent cover of 'Tomorrow Never Knows': ua-cam.com/video/RvdcC3Oz3GE/v-deo.htmlsi=61HTwd_3z70KzH1U. hope it floats your boat. Happy Christmas!
I like Mind Games but apart from a few tracks it's lower tier Lennon and they put all that work into the packaging and then mostly mastered it terribly.
I sold off all my vinyl records years ago, so I don't know why I keep watching these vinyl collector videos. I think I must take some sort of perverse pleasure in seeing how horribly you folks are being ripped off by the vinyl industry. I know, I'm a terrible person. If it's any consolation, Greedo, your suffering always provides me with some great laughs!
I don’t consider myself a collector any more. Well…. I used to be worse (I’ve got Paul McCartney stamps FFS??!). Record companies have gone into overdrive and take advantage of fans. But I’m glad my pain brings a smile to your face! 😂
I decided to unsubscribe from all those other Beatle YT channels, as it was pathetic to see them jump over each other to beat each other out, to be first, while wearing their obligatory 'Beatles" tee-shirt or sweat shirts, etc, and reviewing the Mind Games box that they got for free as they came across as 'santioned.' by Sean or whoever. "Sean sent me this, so my site must be important.". I would much have liked to have seen and respected just one of them to hold off on a review until the official release date and giving us poor sods a have go.
It's got stupid now, rehashing a useless set of Capitol albums, releasing already seen footage of 1964, a Poundland Epstein drama, and the mighty Mind Games and Material world 😂😂😂
Don’t get me started on 1/2 speed remastering. Hey, let’s take a SINGLE album and make it a DOUBLE. Yeah, then we can charge TRIPLE! See, screwing people over is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

But they create FOMO as it is a given that each and every release will be worth 5x more than its retail price by next year.
So the Lennon and Harrison remixes sound amazing so if you like those first pressings, they’re definitely worth checking out (as the Lennon stuff particularly are a vast improvement). I agree with everything else you said though. Like I say in this video, we also need to take ownership of why these things are so expensive and the way they’re marketed to us. If we didn’t fall for this shit, they wouldn’t continue to take advantage of us.
I don't think the industry is doing anything for collectors, it's just a money making machine. I used to be a collector but (to quote George) 'it's all too much'! Each deluxe edition is trying to outdo the last, how are they going to outdo Mind Games? Maybe they won't if it hasn't sold. I bought all the remixed Lennon CDs in the early 2000s, then it all went back to the original mixes in 2010, then "ultimate" remixes! They'll just keep finding new ways of recycling the same material until it no longer sells.
Yeah, it’s all getting a bit silly. But, people are still lapping it up…. and they shouldn’t.
Deaf Ted, Danuta and Greedo. One for the algo👍.
Not to mention 'The Beatles Story' only available in the US album box for about 100 quid more..... I want Rubber Soul and Help! next year.Love John Grant, his albums 'Pale Green Ghosts' and 'Grey Tickles,Black Pressure' are also great. Here's my recent cover of 'Tomorrow Never Knows': ua-cam.com/video/RvdcC3Oz3GE/v-deo.htmlsi=61HTwd_3z70KzH1U. hope it floats your boat. Happy Christmas!
Consider my boat floated!!

Hi. What about the Brian Epstein film?? That was a highlight of 2024 for me.
Damn it!!! Forgot that too!!
Yeah, I enjoyed it but I’d never watch it again.
I like Mind Games but apart from a few tracks it's lower tier Lennon and they put all that work into the packaging and then mostly mastered it terribly.
I thought it sounded great but yeah, it’s not a good album IMO.
I sold off all my vinyl records years ago, so I don't know why I keep watching these vinyl collector videos. I think I must take some sort of perverse pleasure in seeing how horribly you folks are being ripped off by the vinyl industry. I know, I'm a terrible person. If it's any consolation, Greedo, your suffering always provides me with some great laughs!
I don’t consider myself a collector any more. Well…. I used to be worse (I’ve got Paul McCartney stamps FFS??!). Record companies have gone into overdrive and take advantage of fans.
But I’m glad my pain brings a smile to your face! 😂
I decided to unsubscribe from all those other Beatle YT channels, as it was pathetic to see them jump over each other to beat each other out, to be first, while wearing their obligatory 'Beatles" tee-shirt or sweat shirts, etc, and reviewing the Mind Games box that they got for free as they came across as 'santioned.' by Sean or whoever. "Sean sent me this, so my site must be important.". I would much have liked to have seen and respected just one of them to hold off on a review until the official release date and giving us poor sods a have go.
i mean great...lol
It's got stupid now, rehashing a useless set of Capitol albums, releasing already seen footage of 1964, a Poundland Epstein drama, and the mighty Mind Games and Material world 😂😂😂
@Invisible Who is it?..
Don’t get me started on 1/2 speed remastering. Hey, let’s take a SINGLE album and make it a DOUBLE. Yeah, then we can charge TRIPLE! See, screwing people over is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Ha ha!! That’s exactly how it works 😂
@@dinnerwithgreedoI had never seen your channel, but I enjoyed this video. I think I’ll subscribe!
