Richard Dilello
Canongate Books, 2005
five stars
+ A Bittersweet Bit of Fun
+ Excellent memoir of Beatles' Apple Corps years
I've read a lot of the Beatle books. This is actually one of my favorites in that it kind of captures the spirit of the times. More about Apple than the Beatles but when they do pop in the office, it's interesting. It's really a unique perspective and just a fun book to read.

First Live Solo Performance
+ Great Album
I actually have the original US Apple LP. It's out of print here, though. This was performed at a peace festival in the Toronto area Spetember 1969. The Plastic Ono Band included Eric Clapton, longtime cohort Klaus Voorman, and future Yes drummer Alan White. Yoko of course spilled her guts! ...

A Double CD Collaboration Between the Two Great Masters of Indian Instrumental Music, Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan, was a Rare Occurrance and this Recording was Made at their Memorable Concert at the Philharmonic Hall, New York on October 8th, 1972. The Strict Rules and Intricacies Governing Indian Classical Music Pose Difficulties for an Improvising Musican, However These Two Geniuses Manage ...

Billy Preston
EMI Int'l, 2003
A Great Find
+ Excellent with a little help from his friends
+ a must have
It's a tragedy that this album has been so overlooked. To put it bluntly, this album deserves to be considered one of the top ten soul albums of all time. Billy Preston's beatiful organ and singing voice are complemented by excellent guitars (probably George Harrison, but there's very little info ...

Band on the Run56 reviews
Paul McCartney & Wings
Capitol, 1999
McCartney's Breakthrough Album
+ Superb remastering of a classic
+ Band on the Run
After the mediocrity of "Wild Life" and "Red Rose Speedway," Paul McCartney and Wings deliver this post-Beatles breakthrough. "Band on the Run" (1973) remains McCartney's strongest solo effort - a remarkably cohesive album with no weak spots. Among the standout tracks: "Jet," "Mrs. Vandebilt," "Let ...

Maybe Tomorrow5 reviews
The Iveys
EMI Int'l, 2004
Pre-Badfinger release worth having
+ The Best Album On Apple Records
Drummer Mike Gibbins once described The Iveys as a hard little combo - meaning they liked to rock and he was right. Their style was an amalgam and thus difficult to pigeonhole by the label bigwigs who think they know best (they usually don't). This CD features four bonus tracks which only enhance ...

Yoko Ono
Rykodisc, 1997
Epic Yoko
+ It's not just Yoko, it's the band!
+ Not as good as POB >> But still a classic!
This is an epic masterpiece from Yoko. There are many brilliant (and yes, I mean brilliant) songs here. Mrs. Lennon is achingly beautiful. I really like Mindtrain, presented here in its original 16 minute version (the box set Onobox has a single length edit). The rock and roll insanity of Don't ...

Pocket, 1972
"Rotten" to the Core
+ Sharp, Contemporaneous Report
This book puts all the rumors to rest on why the Beatles split up. No, it wasn't Yoko that did it -- although she didn't help matters any. No, it wasn't Paul and the Eastman's -- although they added fuel to the fire. And, no, it wasn't Allen Klein. It was Apple Records. The Beatles were ...

The Modern Jazz Quartet
EMI Int'l, 2003
MJQ in their prime
+ One of MJQ's Finest
+ great and missing album
I just couldn't let the lame, non-review below stand alone and give the impression that this is anything but a fine album. MJQ came to be on Apple in 1968 because Apple's business manager at the time, Ron Kass, was a big fan. While we may laugh at the naiveté of the ideal now, things were wide ...

Really Shouldn't Even Be Rated
+ five stars for the "trilogy",Two V;Lifew/Lions;Wedding Album
This album is not supposed to be judged as music but to be experienced as some type of audio collage, a story, a documentation of that part of John and Yoko's life. If you give high regards to abstract art that has almost no bearing of any intelligent purpose behind it, such as a bicycle wheel ...

Mind Games3 reviews
John Lennon
Mobile Fidelity Koch, 2002
Sometimes, its GOOD to play MIND GAMES :)
+ Remix games...remix has better clarity but is flawed by compression and loudness
+ One Of The Best Cd Of John Lennon
MoFi has updated yet another classic! Shawn Britton's mastering is as always - dead on, never betraying the initial vibe and intention of the ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING, but delicously accentuating what is already there to maximum sonic fruition...
