Christmas thoughts [Pre blog]

Just over two months in post and it's the Christmas party that is being held in public house that had a Pullman railway coach outside of it, just a few minutes walk from the towns rail station.

It's a small thing but just being with people you work with outside of work  gives you the chance to get to know them a little better and people are helping me eat which is nice cos ever since I became unwell around eleven years ago I've needed it. And it's helping them understand me.
The Christmas's I liked in the past have been more like this, like school Christmas dinners and parties and in lot's of ways that's how I'd rather things be although with any luck I just may get a few presents I'd like.
Wouldn't be great if people got you what you liked or asked you?

Beatles Capitol Albums [Pre-blog]

Released this with week some fanfare is this set of the first four Capitol albums originally issued in 1964 in a tall box with the discs in one end of a  tray with a generic essay booklet in the other with colour photographs.

Meet The Beatles is With The Beatles for Americans featuring All My Loving, I Wanna Be Your Man and I Want To Hold Your Hand plus A Want To Hold Your Hand single with its US and UK b sides.

Second Album features the only instance of Thank You Girl in stereo and exclusive US stereo mixes of I Call Your Name and Long Tall Sally, the left over tracks of the UK With The Beatles  album plus the b side of Can't Buy Me Love, You Can't Do That plus the She Loves You single and b side.
Something New features many of the songs from the UK album A Hard Day's Night but for contractual reasons at the time does not include A Hard Day's Night and Can't Buy Me Love that can be found in stereo on the 1962-1966 (Red) compilation.
Beatles '65 can be regarded in many ways as the Beatles For Sale album for North Americans taking in I'm A Loser, Honey Don't, I'll Follow The Sun and the I Feel Fine 45.
