Maybe a continued reaction, amongst some, to the undeniable overexposure they experienced from MTV onwards?

I think you have to recognise Yellow Submarine for what it is imho. It is a brilliantly catchy song for kids, ( and adults), full of innovation and fun. The sound of a brilliant band producing an effortless classic, still known by nearly everybody. There are very few bands that could have come up with it, imho. Number 1 for good reason.

I probably don’t listen to enough classical music and on the basis of this performance/recording I need to rectify that. Really quite remarkable!

Speaking of Young Neil, a very nice postman dropped off Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s LP ‘Odeon Budokan’, recorded in London and Tokyo in 1976, with songs such as ‘After The Goldrush’, ‘Cowgirl In The Sand’ and ‘Cortez The Killer’.
It should be bl**dy good!
The LP was released in 2020, but I had never heard of it before. I will give it a spin very soon, probably later tonight.

Is that recording of the Rodrigo ‘Concierto de Aranjuez’?
I recently got an LP with the great flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia playing.

Granted, but I still think there are better songs that could conclude that compilation.

Interestingly, I read that Lennon and Klein selected the tracks for the Red and Blue albums, PM was not involved.

It is indeed. Released on Qobuz quite recently. Beautiful recording and tone on the guitar. Makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up!
