After that first album, he left the MB and joined a little band on the run called “Wings”.

Did you know that before Wings, Paul McCartney, was in a band called, "The Beatles"?

Wow,I just remember his solo career!

Beatles? Never heard of ‘em. :-)

Short story...
As an entrepreneur, I’m the US Marketing rep for multiple high-end audio equipment brands designed in Europe.

A friend is a highly acclaimed mastering engineer based in LA and I initially partnered with him in mastering a few classic rock albums. He was kind enough to include my business website in the credits....certainly helped in brand credibility.

A number of years ago, he was contacted to remaster the entire Beatles catalogue and traveled to Abbey Road where he was provided tape copies from the master tapes to evaluate & test for proper EQ in remastering. He also received a number of studio demos that were never released.

Although the financial deal was never consummated (his record label would have lost money), he gifted me CDR copies of those studio master tapes and unreleased demos - priceless and incredible sound quality.

...and that’s my Beatles’ story.

You’re a hoot, gator! Moody Blues albums set the atmosphere for when girls were visiting guys’ rooms when I was in college.

I admit to little success with the opposite sex in college... I was in training for my Army tour in Germany...the locals weren’t used to Americans able to hold their liquor.

I did have a two year relationship with a lovely German woman that was launched with the assistance of Dire Straits. While giving her a ride home (reminiscent of Zevon’s “Lawyers Guns & Money”), “Tunnel of Love” played for us... the rest was history.

To this day, I think of her fondly when I hear “Oh Yeah”, by Roxy Music. Apologies for the thread hi jack.
