Beatles fans pick favorite songs Posted: 10 Jul 2010 01:23 AM PDT From The Ashland Gazette  Whether you love the Beatles or have little liking for them, their musical library is extensive. Readers tell us their favorite choice from the Beatles genre.  I love the Beatles. So many songs from so many genres to choose from. "Back In the USSR," "Get Back," "Something," "Black Bird," "Let It Be," "Fool on the Hill" are all great. When I am forced to narrow it down, I have to pick "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by George Harrison.  The words, the drums and guitar solo are tough to beat. Check out the U-tube version with Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ringo, Phil Collins and Elton John amongst others, purty dang good!  - Kim Cooper  Sacrilege, I know…I don't like the Beatles. But I'll play along and say "Rocky Raccoon."  - Chantelle Jackson  "Yesterday."  - Mark Adel  Any they don't play on the radio! Let's hear it for Waylon Jennings!  - Shorty Christiansen  How could any true Beatles fan pick just one song? I like "Let It Be," "Hey Jude," "Yesterday," "Yellow Submarine," "Hello Goodbye," etc…see? You really can't pick just one.  - Taylor Sherman  "Hey Jude." My wife's name is Judy…do I have a choice?  - Neal Brower  Well, being the HUGE Beatles fan that I am, I have a very hard time choosing. But I used to sing "In My Life" to my girls when they were babies, until they got old enough to tell me to stop (ha ha). So I love that song for multiple reasons. Now that my daughters and I have bonded (again) over the Beatles with the release of Beatles Rock Band, I realize I have many, many favorites. Included are "Hello, Goodbye," "Let it Be," "Something" and just about anything from the "Help" soundtrack, especially "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away." I could go on and on….  - Suzi Nelson  Favorite Beatles song – Shake it up baby now! "Twist and Shout." Oh, and "Let It Be." - Lisa Book  The Beatles had many great songs that would be in my list of top songs. "She Loves You" and "Obla Di Obla Da." But, "Here Comes the Sun" was the first song on my mind after reading the week's question. This one hits me as relevant with all the rain we've been having. "Here comes the sun dootin' doo doo; here comes the sun and I say, it's alright…"  - Joan Hall Next question: If tonight were your last meal and you could have anything you wanted, what would you choose?

Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper' album cover mystery a piece of Japanese history Posted: 09 Jul 2010 02:05 PM PDT Who owns the Sony TV that appears on the cover of the Beatles' famous "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album? The long mystery was recently solved by Yasuharu Muramatsu, 47, curator of Okazaki City Mindscape Museum in Aichi Prefecture. He has an invoice apparently for the TV addressed to Paul McCartney. Released in 1967, "Sgt. Pepper" was recorded after the group returned from performing concerts at the Nippon Budokan arena in Tokyo from June 30 to July 2 in 1966. July 2 marked the 44th anniversary of the Tokyo concerts — the Beatles' only visit to Japan. Loved equally to the music is the album's cover photo, which was taken in London on March 30, 1967. The four band members are surrounded by cardboard models of such icons as Marilyn Monroe, while several items are placed in the foreground. Among these, a "fukusuke" fortune doll and a Sony 9-inch portable TV represented Japan on the cover. The doll's owner was identified as John Lennon, who bought it in Japan to bring back to the U.K. But the question of who the TV belonged to remained unknown for many years. The invoice is currently owned by Kazunori Aizawa, 52, a Tokyo collector and an honorary director of the Beatles Museum in Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture. The invoice is in his collection of Paul McCartney autographs. McCartney's address in London and his name are printed on the invoice, and his signature in blue is still clear and decipherable. Muramatsu noticed the description on the invoice, dated Dec. 7, 1966, which reads "Paid: one set of Sony 9-inch portable television — 72.9 pounds." "While staying in Japan, the members may have become interested in the Japanese ethos that respects tradition as well as the state-of-the-art electronics. They probably placed fukusuke to depict respect for tradition while symbolizing innovation with the TV," Muramatsu said. The invoice and the same type of TV will be displayed at the "Swingin' London" exhibit at Okazaki City Mindscape Museum next January.
