I really liked the early Beatles. I was stationed in Germany and we had a band and covered a lot of Beatle songs. I really appreciated the songs, the chords, the harmonies and the arrangements of Lennon and McCartney were almost unbelievable.

However, as they progressed, turned to drugs and started hanging out in Bangladesh and dressing like Ricky Ricardo had a yard sale, their music started getting weirder and weirder. I never used drugs so perhaps that's why I didn't "get it"...who knows. I think "Rubber Soul" was the last album I bought of them, and I liked about half of those songs.

Then, when Yoko Ono came on the scene I just dismissed them for dead and never followed any of them after the Beatles broke up. I don't think I even remember anything either of them did on a "solo" basis.

So, I personally don't care about Lennon's missing recordings, especially if that skank Ono is on them.

I loved “Dear Prudence”, sitting on an ACAV in Vietnam, cleaning a 50 cal machine gun.
