Album Review(s): The Beatles - 1962-1966 and 1967-1970 (2023 Editions)

Anyone who was born during or after the Beatles’ short recording career - and was therefore unable to her the band’s music contemporaneously - very likely cut their Fab teeth on 1962-1966 and 1967-1970, known colloquially as the Red Album and Blue Album, respectively.

These were and remain solid collections and excellent springboards to the proper LPs - plus red and blue vinyl was a novelty in the ’70s. And they’re back for 2023, stuffed full of additional songs - 12 for Red and nine on Blue - and updated mixes.

The reissues coincide with the “new Beatles song,” “Now and Then” - read Sound Bites’ review here - which closes the latter set less effectively than “The Long and Winding Road” has done for the past 50 years. That this record wasn’t rechristened 1970-2023 reveals the truth about “Now and Then;” thankfully, Apple chose to let it be where “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love” are concerned and they do not appear on the new Blue.

George Harrison fans have special reason to cheer as the Quiet Beatle benefits big-time from the additions, with “Roll Over Beethoven,” “If I Needed Someone,” “Taxman,” “Within You Without You” and “I Me Mine” now part of the three hours and 40 minutes of music between “Love Me Do” and “Now and Then.”

Though the Blue Album contains the meat of the Beatles’ recorded output, the Red Album is most improved.

New mixes of early tracks like “From Me to You” and “This Boy” pull Paul McCartney’s bass to the foreground and uncover previously inaudible subtleties in Harrison and John Lennon’s guitar playing. And the addition of a bunch of Revolver tracks lessens the bumpy transition from Red, which now closes with “Tomorrow Never Knows” to Blue, which opens with “Strawberry Fields Forever.”

In addition to fewer bonus songs, most of the Blue Album’s new mixes have been previously released on box sets. Only “Hey Bulldog” and “Old Brown Shoe” are literally - as in vintage 2023 - new mixes.

Listening back to these albums is like a trip back in time. And the the power of music memory is reinforced when the listener’s brain recalls decades-old sequencing only to be tripped up when “You Really Got a Hold on Me” or some other previously absent track appears.

Hey! 👋 I was wondering if you know where I could find a list of which of Claudia's films she wasn't dubbed in? I feel like every time I look one up it turns out she was dubbed and I want to hear her real voice!! 😂

Hello! Thank you very much for asking 😊 I actually looked for a specific list but there is none on the net, but since I saw most of her films I put the list here.

Note: In her first appearances in Italian films, Claudia had few lines but they always had to dub her because she still had a French accent.

List of films with CC's own voice:

1.- Upstairs and downstairs (1959)

British film directed by Ralph Thomas, her appearance is short, she plays an Italian called Maria.

2.- Les Lions Sônt Làches (1961)

Here Claudia was in all her glory and was her first film as the protagonist. French film directed by Henri Verneuil, Claudia played the Parisian Albertine Ferran and we can hear her with her own voice.

3.- Cartouche (1962)

French film directed by Philippe de Broca and again Claudia in all her glory plays Venus in her own voice.

4.- 8 1/2 (1963)

Italian film directed by Federico Fellini and by his orders he wanted Claudia's natural voice without dubbing, in fact, Claudia plays herself. It is Claudia's first Italian film where her voice is not dubbed.

5.- La ragazza di Bube (1964)

Italian film directed by Luigi Comencini, it was a great success in Japan. Claudia plays Mara Castellucci.

6.- Circus World (1964)

American film directed by Henry Hathaway. Claudia plays Toni Alfredo.

7.- Gli indifferenti (1964)

Italian film directed by Francesco Maselli, script by Alberto Moravia. Claudia plays Carla.

8.- Il Magnifico Cornuto (1964)

Italian film directed by Antonio Pietrangeli. Claudia plays Maria Grazia.

9.- Sandra (1965)

Italian film directed by Luchino Visconti. CC plays Sandra Dawdson.

10.- Blindfold (1966)

American film directed by Philip Dunne. CC plays Vicky Vincenti, an Italian showgirl.

11.- Lost Command (1966)

American film directed by Mark Robson. CC plays Aicha Mahidi.

12.- The Professionals (1966)

American film directed by Richard Brooks. CC plays Maria Grant.

13.- The Queens (1966)

Scene from 'Le Fate: Armenia', directed by Mario Monicelli. CC plays Armenia.

14.- Una Rosa Per Tutti (1966)

Italian film shot in Brazil, directed by Franco Rossi. CC plays Rosa.

15.- Don't Make Waves (1968)

American film directed by Alexander Mackendrick. CC plays Laura Califatti.

16.- A Fine Pair (1968)

Italian-American film directed by Francesco Maselli. CC plays Esmeralda Marini.

Here is a forum where they discuss about CC's dubbing in "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968 directed by Sergio Leone) and I can personally say that it is not CC's voice, Leone shouldn't have dubbed her 😐.

From the 70's onwards, CC's movies are with her original voice. All these movies can be found on VK or OK.RU.

I don't know how anybody else feels about the fact that this year's big Beatles release (aside from "Now And Then") are remixed and expanded editions of the Red and Blue Albums, but I'll say this much about them, myself: I'm just so happy to have stereo mixes where all of the vocals aren't panned hard left or the end of "Please Please Me" is screwed up or "I Am The Walrus" turns into fake stereo. Seriously, I've spent years wishing that the LOVE mix of "I Am The Walrus" could be the official one, and I don't know how close the 2023 mix sounds to that one 'cuz, admittedly, I haven't heard it yet, but anything has to be better than the original.

I really do wish these were the stereo mixes we had all along. Like, I know, the old ones are true to history, that's just what happened with two-tape machines, but these ones are so much more listenable. I mean, finally, people won't have to track down the mono masters of these songs or be forced to manually put their phone in mono or else hafta deal with John being in your entire left ear.

'Now and Then', Red and Blue

By now you’ll be aware that there’s a brand new Beatle song coming. It is called ‘Now and Then’ and is the last Beatles song ever to be released. Like the singles ‘Free As a Bird’ (1995) and ‘Real Love’ (1996) before it, ‘Now and Then’ is all four Beatles contributing additional music and vocals to a cassette demo that John Lennon was working on in the late 1970’s but never got to properly…

The End of a Very Long Month - Diary of a Big Ole Gay

Hey Whores, this is the pretty much the diary entry for the rest of the month of April, also I am almost finished with this fucking watchlist. Which is really exciting, a sword of damacoulas over my head fully swallowed.

(I honestly just wanted a Rocky Horror Clip for shit and giggles)

but at the same time I now have so many leads and little films that I want to watch to complete the collection. Sure I don't need to watch George et Georgettes, (the french version), or Theres Three but like I might as well I've literally seen every single other film that people talk about.

but enough navel-gazing thats for later.

Lets get into the Good Stuff

Winter Kept Us Warm (1965) dir. David Secter

A movie that was so subtle gay that the actors didn't even realize thats what they were going for. No, Like for real, that is like a real thing people say about this movie.

Overall this was like a super cute movie. It was just about two guys just meeting in college and vibing and like having quickly developing a deeply intamint and insular relationship something that straight people totally do.

They were totally like ROOMMATES

anyway as a gay man who totally also didn't have a really close friendship that made me realize that hey maybe I'm into dudes this shit made me feel called out.

The Sergeant (1968) dir. John Flynn

Yeah, this kiss is noncon. Sorry to tell you.

The Sergeant is about this older guy who basically has this super toxic working relationship with this enlisted man who he essentially forces to be his secretary.

They have an uneasy friendship with The Sergeant being at turns extremly friendly and extremly cold to this man and his boring wallpaper of a girlfriend.

Anyway the whole reason thats hes like that is that HE IS A FAGGOT, HE IS A DRUNKARD, HE IS CORRUPTING THE FRENCH ARMY WITH HIS ... DEGENERACY!!!!!!

and after the dude rejects him because hes not a homo, The Sergeant just straight up fucking kills himself.

THANKS I HATE IT.

The Killing of Sister George (1968) dir. Robert Aldrich

ok first that is the cutest GIF I've ever seen.

Anyway this ones about LESBIANS HAROLD. These woman GAY, there in a fucking relationship. THEY KISS HAROLD! and they FUCK!

So yeah this was if I rememeber correctly based on a comedy play and the movie turns it into a drama but they kind of fail so its basically like a gay ass camp melodrama and I'm a little hear for it.

I do have to say that the Titelul SIster George is like TOXIC AF but I mean sos Dr. Frankfurther and I still want them to fuck me.

This film is mainly centered around an actress named June Buckridge who plays in this kind of petticoat junction, call a mid-wife type show as a sweet little nun named Sister George, (yes I know that Sisters and Nuns are techically different suck it). She is also *gasp* about to be killed off.

What follows is the fall out of that decision and her extremly toxic relationship between her and her girlfriend. Theres definetly a DMLG aspect to their relationship as well as just generally BDSM and it borders on abusive. But also just woman who like woman dressed as like fucking laural and hardy which is so fucking gay.

They knew what they were doing.

Something For Everyone (1970) dir. Hal Prince

So a couple months ago I watched this really awful porno called The Switch is on with this Guy named Jeff Stryker. So theres this one scene where Stryker is fucking this chick and her husband comes in and just starts getting cucked but then this guy just gets so fucking horny for what can only be described as a sexy bowl of oatmeal that he literally pushes his wife aside and is like UWU fuck me and Jeff Stryker without a single reaction just preceeds to start fucking this guy. It was like watching some type of milling machine and the worker just put a different grain of wood in. What I'm saying is that if your going to watch porn support actors that actually work on being entertaining and present in there sex play.

The other reason why I bring this up is that this is like if one of those Catalinina Bi-Features was actually well thought out, (this obviously excuses Bi-Coastal which is probably one of my favorite pornos ever).

This is a Comedy of Manners were a bisexual disaster who stoacicly fucks everyone trys to sleep his way into getting a castle.

There isn't a lot of PDA with the man he seduces but its actually really nice that they validated the fact that this man can be bisexual and also have like a honest to goodness relationship with this guy, and his sister, and his wife, and HIS MOM. what can I say theres SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE *Roll Credits*

Fortune and Men's Eyes (1971) dir. Harvey Hart

Ok thats a slutty image.

So heres the thing this movie is very gay. Its all about men who want to fuck other men. Sexual. It also, unfortunetly, frames that sexual desire purely through the lens of male rape and explotation.

This is a film about having a prison wife or being someone old man and a lot of the queer relationships are explotative and sexual abusive. A lot of these men are being sexual abused. Which is not a lovely time with the gays.

The film does raise a lot of interesting notions around how situration homosexuality remains seperate from normative queerness or at least simply becames another aspect of normative masculinity and in that lens I think its important to watch and study this film. But I wouldn't say watch this for fun.

Also Michael Greer does a full on drag number and this shows us his dick. Iconic faggot behaivor, we stan.

Lulu (1962) dir. Rolf Thiele

Ok I think I would have remembered this scene because she looks super fucking hot in that photo. heres whats up.

This is an adaptation of the Lulu Cycle plays by Wedeman the same plays that G.W.Pabst adapted however this chick is not in louise brooks and I'm going to hold that against her. also this movie was like super hard to get into and follow. Which I didn't have that issue with the original 1930's film. This movie also just doens't have the right energy for me. I'm sorry but Pabst made a masterpiece. Pabst woke up and said I'm gonna make a movie that goes so hard that it will be a faggots laptop background for like 5 months straight and it is.

This is like um ok theres some hot people but its not that gay. so ew.

P.J. (1968) dir. John Guillermin

So P.J is another one of these schlocky action detective movies from the 60s that were really popular and this one just so happens to have a gay bar in it.

The scene is very explotative and not in the best way to be honest. Like I love that the fags are just another group of generic ruffians for this saturday morning cartoon and that they even like beat the shit out of him. (one guy scatches him which is first HOT and also a lot to unpack). I also compare the scene to the Dyke Bar in Foxy Brown but theres a few differences.

the dyke bar has both like Femme and Butch women where the gay bar basically only has men who look like Liberace

In Foxy Brown she essentials claims or acts as the guardian for a woman that shes trying to get information out of the woman in these scenes take on a auru of queerness were as P.J. stands as stark opposition to the queer community

The Dyke Bar scene actually makes sense in context with the film. Whereas this film just feels like it shoehorns in a gay bar. For reasons. Reasons that arn't important or neccisary to the plot.

Deathwatch (1966) dir. Vic Morrow

Ok so this is based on play by noted faggot Jean Genet who also did that other hot prison movie.

So in this one Leanord Nemoy and a bunch of other guys basically fight over who gets to bang there hot illeterate cellmate. Its very gay but its also more a lot of homos doing theater and less them actually fucking and sucking like in Un Chant d'amour.

Theorem (1968) dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini

Ok this was my first Pasolini film which I watched in Spanish of all things for reasons. The Reason being that that was the only version with subtitles. Luckily this film is famously light on dialogue.

This one is a little bit like Something for Everyone except a lot more surrealistic.

The Stranger comes to a novea riche family gives them all a good fucking, (including the maid), and then just fucking leaves. They then proceed to have like a religious experience over it???

This is Pasolini so its really weird and allegorical but also like super fucking cool. Damn now I want to rewatch it.

Pink Narcissus (1971) dir. James Bidgood

Ok just imagine if Kenneth Anger made a full length feature porno and this is basically that. A young male prostitute lazes about his apartment and has a series of erotic dreams.

As a movie Its giving hints of Anger as well as de Rome and it is just an insanely weird/cool/kinda hot thing to look at.

Its on Internet Archive btw.

Fellini Satyricon (1969) dir. Federico Fellini

Ok so this is like one of those old ass Bible story epics from the 30s except its based on a roman novel or history or something and also it is the GAYEST thing you've ever seen. Basically this hot blonde guy rescues his twink husband from a guy dressed as a pig (don't ask), then they fuck, then his brother shows up and just like steals his husband and then there entire neighborhood collapses in an earthquake. After that I stopped asking questions and I'm pretty sure we don't see his hot twink husband again so RIP i guess.

To be honest I have no idea what happened in this movie but it sure was cool and i need to watch more Italian cinema.

Anyway whores thats enough out of me today. I'll probably return near the end of may with the last 10 or so films left on the watchlist.
