The Beatles - Free As A Bird
Vinyl 7” 45 rpm, U.S. 1995
Apple Records
Doctor Frankenstein made this album. John Lennon recorded this demo in 1977, and the Fab Three did overdubs, etc in 1995. Morbid? The weird thing for me is to pretend that somehow someone can come back from the dead to make a new recording. Death is final. But not in the pop music world. But beyond that it’s a nice Beatle record. The additional Paul like chorus or bridge is pure magic in conjunction with this being a Beatle record. Nevertheless it is a depressing record on many accounts. The B-side is quite interesting. The Beatles through out most of the 60’s made Christmas greetings on record for their fan club, and this one I believe was done in 1967, has a slight psych touch to it.
