I like George Harrison, too, Todd. He’s the underrated Beatle.

Though the complete WONDERWALL MUSIC might put one off. And I’m a particular Harrison fan.

George–is that complete APPLE box everything that was released on Apple, including the Beatles? Even at $199.99, it would be too rich for my post-Christmas blood, but if it included all the Beatles recordings that would be a sweet deal for someone with a bit of cash who was feeling Apple-deprived.

I don’t blame you, Rick. The complete APPLE box set retails for $336.98 (although AMAZON has it for $199.99).

No second mortgages for us, George! One is enough.

You can buy the complete APPLE collection, Rick. I’m sure IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT is included. Of course, you’d have to take out a second mortgage on your house…

I’m glad we were able to enlighten you, Todd. Usually, you’re the source for most of our musical facts.

Yes, Mary Hopkin should be better known, Deb. After listening to COME AND GET IT, I’m tempted to buy the complete APPLE recordings (especially for those Mary Hopkin songs).

I love Doris Troy’s “Just One Look,” Jeff. I didn’t know she was one of the voices on “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” one of my favorite Stones song.
