Beatles Capitol Versions Vol. 2 listed for April 11 release
...on Amazon and the official Capitol Records site. However, there are no details available outside of that release date. So we'll see...
This is the second set of CDs featuring the Beatles albums as originally released in the United States, i.e. the ones a lot of us grew up with. The track listings, and even names, of these releases differ from the British releases. In some cases, they songs on the albums even sound quite different, featuring added echo and different edits from their British counterparts. As an example, see the recent piece I wrote comparing the U.S. and U.K. versions of "Rubber Soul."
When the Beatles catalog was placed on CD in the 1980s, it was the British--not American--versions that were released.
Capitol Versions Vol. 1 featured Meet the Beatles, The Beatles Second Album, Something New and Beatles '65 in both mono and stereo versions.
If Vol. 2 continues chronologically, with four CDs, the upcoming set would include The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, Help! (American track lineup featuring instrumental tracks from the film) and Rubber Soul (featuring the different track listing detailed here).
That still leaves missing in action Yesterday... and Today and the U.S. version of Revolver. Starting with Sgt. Pepper, the American and British albums are the same.
Of course, it's possible Capitol may choose to expand Vol. 2 to six disks, or skip Help! or Early Beatles, or who knows what.
Also still missing on official CD are the U.S. soundtrack album for A Hard Day's Night, which features Beatles tunes a instrumental selections from the film and the Capitol "audio documentary" album The Beatles Story, which chronicles the band's rise to fame.
And then there are the excellent mono mixes of Sgt. Pepper and White Album...

Also still missing on official CD are the U.S. soundtrack album for A Hard Day's Night, which features Beatles tunes a instrumental selections from the film and the Capitol "audio documentary" album The Beatles Story, which chronicles the band's rise to fame.
And then there are the excellent mono mixes of Sgt. Pepper and White Album...

Pop Culture Roundup March 3, 2006
Via the Brill Building: Monty Python interview footage not seen since 1975. Are we all watching the great Python "personal best" specials now airing on PBS?
--------------------
From Graphic Novelties: A conservative parents watchdog group has singled out "Teen Titans" as the most violent children's show on TV. I watch the progam, happily, with my son don't see much objectionable about it. The violence doesn't seem any worse than anything else in the genre and the plots nearly always have a "good message" about friendship, feeling good about yourself and doing what's right. Plus, the dialogue and plotlines are quite witty and imaginative. Which is probably why the conservatives really don't like it.
---------------------
Also from Graphic Novelties (Franklin Harris' newest blog, if you haven't checked it out): George Clooney says he played Batman as gay in "Batman in Robin." Well, I suppose he had to do something to make the lackluster script interesting for himself.
---------------------
Via a new sharity blog dedicated to the late Byrds' singer Gene Clark, some rare Byrds.
---------------------
Dial B for Blog's profanity laced review/evisceration of DC Comics' "Infinite Crisis" #5 just made me spew coffee out my nose.
---------------------
Via Mark Evanier: The Southern Poverty Law Center posts a review of Will Eisner's last graphic novel, "The Plot: The Secret Story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
----------------------
Another cool albeit obsessive sharity compilation from Xtabay: 19 versions of "Hey Joe" from the Byrds, Hendrix and Love to the Standalls, Shadows of Knight and Surfaris.
----------------------
James Bond is going to drive a Ford?!
----------------------
Personal File, due out in May, is a two-CD set of tunes, poems and stories Johnny Cash recorded in his home studio in the early 1970s, according to Rolling Stone. Sounds like great stuff:
He sang Tin Pan Alley hits, traditional folk and gospel tunes, new originals and favorite covers by the Louvin Brothers and Johnny Horton, among others. He recited poetry and reminisced about his teenage job as a water boy on a river-dredging crew and the hours he spent glued to the radio, loving and learning the very songs he sang in these sessions.
-----------------------
Folk singer Pete Seeger is the inspiration behind Bruce Springsteen's upcoming covers album.
-----------------------
Paul McCartney's campaign to save cute baby seals from being bludgeoned on Canada's east coast is meeting with some controversy, reports The Guardian. However, most people seem to support his efforts:
A poll in the Daily News, a local paper based in Halifax, near Prince Edward Island, suggests the animal rights campaign could be winning.
According to the online survey, 59% of people favour banning the hunt while 32% think it should continue; 9%, meanwhile, feel that "the Beatles suck".

Pop Culture Roundup March 2, 2006
Mad magazine has found itself in a censorship flap, Gulf News reports:
The Mad Classics 2005 Yearbook included a satire of a piece of toast sold through an internet auction site, after the owner claimed the Virgin Mary's face was imprinted on it.
The magazine mocked the news, sketching faces of religious figures into food, including "Mohammad in a Pancake." The comic also satirised the US army's reputation, running a mock advertisement for toy soldiers.
They included a Quran flusher, a soldier holding a book above a toilet. The figurine was in reference to a report, later retracted last year in Newsweek, that claimed US soldiers tried to flush a Quran down the toilet.
Another sketch satirised the role of Halliburton in Iraq, a contracting company the US Vice-President Dick Cheney used to work for, and to which the US government granted billions of dollars in contracts to rebuild Iraq.
The sketches show the Iraqi flag, which has written on it God is Great in Arabic (Allah Akbar), reworked to read Halliburton.

Jack Wild, who played Jimmy on "H.R. Pufnstuf," and the Artful Dodger in "Oliver" has died at age 53 after a battle with mouth cancer, The Associated Press reports.
Wild became a teen music idol, releasing three albums - "The Jack Wild Album," "Everything's Coming up Roses" and "Beautiful World."
But he struggled with alcoholism and his adult acting career was fitful, although he had a role as one of the Merry Men in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" in 1991.
Wild was diagnosed with mouth cancer in 2000, and surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy had left him unable to speak.
The actor blamed his cancer on years of heavy drinking and smoking. "My lifestyle had made me a walking time bomb," he said last year.

"Lost" clues: "Maternity Leave," season 2, episode 15
Official recap from ABC:
Maternity Leave
Air Date: 03/01/2006
What happened to Claire when she was abducted by the Others?
When Rousseau shows up at camp and tells Claire that her baby could be 'infected', Claire sets out on a journey to find the answer to this question. Armed with memory "flashes" triggered first by Rousseau's presence and then through Libby's relaxation exercises, Claire remembers that she was in fact being held somewhere on the island and given vaccine for the baby. Convinced that the only way to cure Aaron is to find the vaccine, she enlists the help of Rousseau and Kate to find this mysterious place where she was being kept while the Others had her.
With Kate and Rousseau as her guides, Claire slowly pieces together this missing time in her life to discover something unthinkable…but in the end, the most important information she uncovers is that she was meant to be a mother.
Meanwhile, Jack and Locke continue to try and keep Henry a secret from the camp, but it's becoming increasingly difficult. When Mr. Eko ventures down into the hatch to borrow some tools, he figures out that they are keeping a man inside the armory and tells Jack he wants to speak with the prisoner. While Henry maintains that he is not an Other, Eko treats him as such and confesses to killing two of his friends.
Jack and Locke continue to butt heads about how to handle the situation, further straining the power balance between our two heroes. And when Henry uses this information to try and get inside Locke's head, John Locke's composure snaps for the first time, giving way to his complete frustration at being trapped by his responsibilites to the hatch.
Observations/speculation:
* So it looks like the scruffy Others and the neat-looking Dharma Initiative folks (Ethan, etc.) are one and the same. Why are they trying to fool the crash survivors with their "shipwreck" clothes, beards and all?
* I'm starting to wonder if the survivors are on an island at all. What's to say they weren't drugged on board the plane and brainwashed to believe they survived a crash. Claire, obviously, was very successfully drugged/brainwashed into thinking Ethan and his cronies had her best interests at heart.
* Why did the Dharma folks abandon the medical hatch? And where the heck are they now?
* The medical facility has an "emergency hatch." Why? Where does it go?
* Who is the "he" Zed refers to when talking with Ethan? Hanso? DeGroot? Gale? Somebody unknown to us?
* Here are some details from Amazon on the book Sawyer is reading:
Lancelot Lamar is a disenchanted lawyer who finds himself confined in a mental asylum with memories that don't seem worth remembering. It all began the day he accidentally discovered he was not the father of his youngest daughter, a discovery which sent Lancelot on modern quest to reverse the degeneration of America. Percy's novel reveals a shining knight for the modern age--a knight not of romance, but of revenge.
* Where the heck is Michael?
* Where the heck is Desmond?
* Where the heck is Walt?
* It doesn't seem like Locke and Jack will be able to carry on their private Gitmo scenario with Henry forever. Especially with Henry starting to play mind games with Locke. Seems like something a Dharma-trained psychologist ought to be pretty good at.
* Ethan says it would be complicated to explain when Claire asks him where all the items in the nursery came from. Also hard to explain where the late model washing machine and dryer in the more familiar hatch came from. Perhaps the Dharma folks go "off the island" occasionally.
* The airplane mobile appeared in a Claire flashback in an earlier episode, but why would the Dharma folks use such a mobile? Do they want to make Claire think about the plane crash? Do they want to make her think there was a plane crash? As you can see from this person's screen grab, the little planes of Oceanic Air logos on them:
* This picture in the nursery looks like the Others boat:
* What's the deal with Eko's beard? Did the two nubs he cut off represent the two men he killed?
Other stuff:
* See a preview for the next episode.
* Hear the latest "Lost" official podcast.
* See screen shots from "Maternity Leave."

* The medical facility has an "emergency hatch." Why? Where does it go?
* Who is the "he" Zed refers to when talking with Ethan? Hanso? DeGroot? Gale? Somebody unknown to us?
* Here are some details from Amazon on the book Sawyer is reading:
Lancelot Lamar is a disenchanted lawyer who finds himself confined in a mental asylum with memories that don't seem worth remembering.

* Where the heck is Desmond?
* Where the heck is Walt?
* It doesn't seem like Locke and Jack will be able to carry on their private Gitmo scenario with Henry forever. Especially with Henry starting to play mind games with Locke. Seems like something a Dharma-trained psychologist ought to be pretty good at.
* Ethan says it would be complicated to explain when Claire asks him where all the items in the nursery came from. Also hard to explain where the late model washing machine and dryer in the more familiar hatch came from. Perhaps the Dharma folks go "off the island" occasionally.

Do they want to make her think there was a plane crash? As you can see from this person's screen grab, the little planes of Oceanic Air logos on them:
* This picture in the nursery looks like the Others boat:
* What's the deal with Eko's beard? Did the two nubs he cut off represent the two men he killed?
