^  Cool.  I might have 200 LPs left, but most my vinyl is long gone.

I bought my copy in the late 1970s, so there were no more of these butcher covers around then.

The "butcher block" cover didn't last a full day for sale at USA retailers.  It was so rare people were peeling off the trunk cover to see if the butcher block was underneath (almost never was).  That cover is legendary for that album.  I never had one.  You're listening to vinyl?

Judy Collins did a nice version too, but no one has topped the original.

I saw JUDY COLLINS perform it about 10 years ago in Spring Lake, NJ. 

No one can top the BEATLES.

I just wanted to remind everyone that I am reviewing all the US versions of the Beatle albums. So this is the US one and not only my favorite by the Fab Four but my favorite album of all time.

My favorite BEATLES album is Rubber Soul. 

I read at wikipedia that these 4 tracks were removed for the USA release: "Drive My Car", "Nowhere Man", "What Goes On" and "If I Needed Someone" ... even missing, a great album with a couple of HELP! tracks that had been removed were USA issued on Rubber Soul. 

Wow.  "In My Life" is probably my favorite song also...certainly my favorite LENNON.  I love BETTE MIDLER's version.

Songs from their second movie and not one of their best albums.

Absolutely right.  The British release of HELP! is far superior.  I do like the James Bond style guitar riff, supposedly written by LENNON, on the USA opening track.

Those are all wigs. Which means that at one time for another, he CHOSE to look like that.

I believe SPECTOR was thrown through a windshield in the mid 70s, his scalp was nearly torn off.  After that, he got much crazier.  And wore crazy wigs to hide scars.

Here is a singer \ musician that,  as far as I recall,  isn't mentioned much today:  the lovely and talented Nancy Wilson.

"On Green Dolphin Street" is on Disc 2 of the NANCY WILSON collection I'm listening to.  The whole compilation is wonderful!  You made me think of listening to NANCY.

Who watches Home Alone 2?

I usually see those first two movies around Christmas time... on one o' them channels.  I like both of those silly movies.  Trump bullied the producers when they wanted to shoot that scene in the hotel I guess he owned at the time.

"I Feel Fine" is a #1 single, great guitar riff and catchy chorus, though the feedback and hazy sound give it a early psychedelic feel.

Probably my favorite BEATLES single, and one of JOHN's best early efforts. 

[wait, I thought Phil Spector was already dead.]

A very talented musician and producer, crazy as they come, tragic, he gives sad final justice for LANA CLARKSON.

I've never seen Home Alone 3, is trump in that too? I wasn't commenting on trump, just Home Alone 2. Trump  owned The Plaza when Home Alone 2 was filmed,  that was the joke when Kevin speaks to him.

... And man-thing pushed his appearance on the producers...
