Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

Ringo & John's Icon albums

As we posted earlier, a couple of Ringo Starr and John Lennon compilations are hitting the CD market in the shape of two releases in Universal's "Icon" series.

John Lennon: Icon
Tracks:
Imagine
(Just Like) Starting Over
Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)
Stand By Me
Watching The Wheels
Mind Games
Jealous Guy
Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)
Love
Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
Give Peace A Chance

Ringo Starr: Icon
Tracks:
Photograph
It Don't Come Easy
You're Sixteen (You're Beautiful and You're Mine)
Oh My My
Only You (And You Alone)
King of Broken Hearts
No No Song
Back Off Boogaloo
Walk With You
(It's All Down To) Goodnight Vienna
Yellow Submarine (live)

Nice to see two of his newer songs (King of Broken Hearts, Walk With You) mixed in with this mainly seventies collection. "Yellow Submarine" may have been taken from a previous release by the All Starr Band. Or perhaps not?
Badfinger's album "Timeless" was also an Icon release, and sported a full Apple label. Maybe these will, too?
Release date is 9 September.

Very short CDS but a nice mixture.

will they offer something new? (mixing or enhanced) or this is a compilation like any other?

Very odd selection, IMHO. While Ringo's collection sort of *needs* newer songs (remembering that his original "Blast From The Past" was barely 30 minutes long, which seemed short even in those days), the Lennon set seems completely superflorous. "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)" over "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" or "Mother" or even "Cold Turkey" is just weird.
