| | R.C.: "I remember the look on the girls face when I gave the money in 50c pieces" You're a shocker, R.C.! Bet they'd have loved you do - not!(ha-ha) See how I paraphrased a title in there? |

| | Look at prices back then and look at what we're paying now for full-price CDs. Australia always seems to cop the rough end of the pineapple when it comes to prices we pay for anything. Even computer software prices are higher here than most other places in the world, and very likely artificially inflated for all kinds of flimsy reasons(excuses). |

| | Oh, R.C. you lazy devil! Revealing your secrets on how to do as little work as possible, ay? Play all the long songs! Yep, that'll knock over an hour in about 8 tracks after you add in time for back-announcements, corporate sponsorship acknowledgements(in community radio we couldn't call them "ads"), news bulletins and giving weather reports... should just about do it, I reckon! |

| | Talkin' 'bout long songs, what about the daddy of 'em all, MacArthur Park by Albus Dumbledore... er...Richard Harris?(Albus Dumbledore.... don't you remember? Harris played that role if the first two Harry Potter movies!). MacArthur Park clocks in at close to 8 minutes, plenty of time to "answer nature's call" and throw together a cup of coffee, then get back and cue up your next track. |

| | As a former disk-jockette myself -- "American Pie", "Legend Of Atlantis, "Hey Jude", and far too many Elton John tracks sure came in handy when the girl's loo beckoned |

| | As a former DJ I can sympathize, except it usually wasn't "a cuppa" <G>.
The other ones that were handy for that were "American Pie" and Donovan's "Legend Of Atlantis" |

| | Well they would come in handy if you work at radio station if you want a cuppa |

| | Yeah, R.C., You've got to be brutal with these extremely long tracks that do nothing but send you to "la-la-land"! |

| | Well with my technique that goes back to the nineties the nanana section goes for about four minutes so I shaved it down just under two so the track clocks at 5:11 instead of 7:11 |

| | This is yet another rehash of old Beatles cuts masquerading as a "new" album simply by the inclusion of the somewhat(and unnecessarily) over-long "Hey Jude". All those la-la-la's at the end do have a reptilian effect, they make the song "drag on"(dragon - get it?). |

| | I also own this South African copy.
On my copy, the sleeve looks fine, but the paper labels on the album look iffy.
Bought in London, circa 1970, cannot remember exactly where, but may have been Virgin Records in Oxford Street, the one upstairs from a shoe shop, very close to the Tottenham Court Rd. end.
