The Beatles bootlegs
The Beatles are one of the most bootlegged artists ever. Since the late 1960's, discs featuring commercially unreleased material have been illegally released.
The Original Greatest Hits
Technically, the first Beatles bootleg was a 1964 album known as The Original Greatest Hits. Th album, issued by "Greatest Records" in New York, featured a gold-colored sleeve with silhouettes of four Beatle haircuts. No artist was mentioned on the sleeve, making the album look like it was made by Beatle imitators, such as The Manchesters or The Liverpools. Such albums were common at the time. Though no artist name was mentioned, the songs were listed on the back of the sleeve. The album was sold by legitimate retailers until they discovered that the compilation was not an official release. Interestingly, the album, issued in the US, contained the Ringo Starr version of Love Me Do, though that version of the song would not be officially released in the US until 1980. It was likely sourced from a Canadian single.
Kum Back and other early bootlegs
The first Beatles bootlegs of unreleased material were issued before The Beatles even disbanded. Kum Back, generally considered the first Beatles bootleg, was released in 1969 and featured rough stereo mixes prepared by Glyn Johns for the upcoming "Get Back" project. This featured a whole album of never-before-heard songs, as well as two takes of Get Back and an alternate take of Don't Let Me Down. The tapes themselves came from a mix prepared on March 10, 1969 that somehow appeared on the Northeastern United States by that Summer. One rumor states that John Lennon brought a copy of the acetate disc along with him when he went to Canada on September 13, 1969. Regardless of how the tapes made it to America, within a week they were slowly making their way South and West. The whole acetate was broadcast by the radio station WKBW in Buffalo, New York. Soon, WBCN in Boston also broadcast the acetate on September 22, 1969. By the end of that Fall, seemingly every underground radio station had a copy. College newspapers and even Rolling Stone began writing reviews for the acetate. By the end of the year, a limited number of copies of Kum Back were pressed. The song order was changed from the actual acetate and the sound quality was extremely poor. Despite this, the release was quite popular and the first imitation was available by December of that year. Another, newer song line-up also compiled by Glyn Johns had leaked around the same time. This one, mixed on May 28 and first broadcast in the Fall of 1969, featured recordings not available on the previous acetate, including One After 909, Dig It, Maggie Mae, and a jam of Rocker/I'm Ready/Save The Last Dance For Me. In addition to this, it also eliminated The Walk from the track line-up and offered a different take of Let It Be. Altogether, the acetate's mixing and editing was also slightly different. The tracklist was slighty rearranged. Bootlegs with a mix of both track line-ups were produced in Fall of 1969 and into 1970.
Get Back material
Copies of the Get Back acetates continued to circulate into the early 1970's. However, in 1970, there was very little unreleased Beatles material in circulation and none other than the Get Back acetates. Because of this, material would be put on bootlegs that was already legitimately released but uncommon, such as singles, B-Sides, Christmas records, and the World Wildlife Fund version of Across the Universe. Because Let It Be would not be released until May 8, 1970, many early bootlegs would invent their own titles for songs, as the correct titles had not been announced yet. Some titles were close and some titles, surprisingly, were actually working titles for the songs they described. Examples of bootleg titles for the Get Back material include:
- All I Want Is You (Dig A Pony)
- When You Walk (The Walk)
- On Our Way Home (Two Of Us)
- Sunshine and Love Girl (For You Blue)
- Everything You Are (Dig A Pony)
- Sweet And Lovely Girl (For You Blue)
- Move Over Honey (One After 909)
- Can It Walk (The Walk)
- Teddy Don't Worry (Teddy Boy)
- Don't Keep Me Waiting (The Long And Winding Road)
- Who Knows? (Dig A Pony)
One bootleg label took the fake titles even further by releasing an album of previously-released singles and inventing titles for all of them. This album, entitled Judy, predated The Beatles' official singles collection, Hey Jude. Even more Get Back material surfaced in 1970 on More Get Back Sessions. This material was part of the soundtrack of the Let It Be film taped during a screening. The first issue of the Let It Be film soundtrack outtakes was 1973's Sweet Apple Trax Volumes 1 and 2. An excellent-quality ninety-minute tape featuring material mostly from the Twickenham sessions was stretched to fit on two LPs. Though it was obvious that the record could have fit much more music on it, the album's then-unusual high sound quality ensured it sold well and was repackaged and reissued several times throughout the 1970's. The 1977 EP Twickenham Jams offered more of the January 8, 1969 Get Back session (which produced All Things Must Pass) in so-so quality. The LP version, also titled Twickenham Jams, featured the entire EP on Side A and six minutes of the June 6, 1968 interview with Kenny Everett from a rare Apple Italian promo. In 1978, the LP Watching Rainbows was released. This offered newly-released Abbey Road outtakes as well as new Get Back material from the EP of the same name and never-before-released Get Back material from January 10, 1969, recorded right after George left the group. The process of Get Back sessions being released only partially would continue for another ten years, until full reels began to turn up.
First Live Material
As early as 1970, live Beatles material began to surface. Two complete concerts surfaced in the year 1970 alone. Despite their surprisingly good quality and historical value, neither concert was identified correctly upon release. The first concert to leak was the concert at The Hollywood Bowl, taken directly from Capitol Records' mixdown of the concert. When this first became available, the bootlegs identified the concert as being at Shea Stadium. Early releases of this material include Shea, The Good Old Days, and The Only Live Recording. Of course, this wasn't the only existing live recording, because soon a recording of a concert in Philadelphia appeared. Unusually, the bootlegger not only claimed this recording was from a different city, but also made up a venue - Whiskey Flats in Atlanta, Georgia. After this release, other albums containing the show included Live Concert At Whiskey Flats, Alive At Last In Atlanta, and even Live In Hollywood. The source of the show was actually a simulcast of the show done in 1964. Audio from the concert at Shea Stadium first surfaced in late 1971 or early 1972. Because all the Hollywood Bowl bootlegs at the time claimed to be Shea Stadium, the bootlegger called the first Shea Stadium bootleg Last Live Show, which was actually at Candlestick Park in 1966. The sound came from the original 1966 UK broadcast of the concert, the original 1967 US broadcast of the concert, or maybe a more recent repeat. Either way, the music was clearly taped directly from a speaker, which resulted in poor sound quality. Another interesting early 1970's bootleg was 1972's Vancouver 1964. Not only was the show correctly labelled, but it was a double-LP featuring not only the concert, but also the press conference preceeding it, interviews with locals, and a play-by-play of the concert itself by two DJs. A clean tape of the whole show was included, during which John and Paul stayed in a great mood despite an unruly crowd. The trend of releasing concert recordings continued into 1973, when the February 11, 1964 concert in Washington DC - The Beatles' first U.S. concert ever - began to circulate on such records as District Of Columbia and First United States Performance. This audio came from a closed-circuit film of the concert. A TV broadcast of a concert in Munich on June 24, 1966 first surfaced on the LP Live German Concert and US Telecasts. The LP also featured Hey Jude and Revolution from The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and three songs from Shindig, broadcast in October 1964. Also in 1973, a June 1965 Paris evening concert most likely taped from a TV broadcast appeared in above-average quality on Live Paris Olympia. The afternoon concert, from a radio broadcast, became available on Paris Sports Palais. The 1975 release Five Nights In A Judo Arena set a new, higher standard for Beatles bootlegs with its color cover, accurate song listing, and excellent sound quality. This bootleg featured a 1966 Tokyo concert taken directly from Japanese TV. The bootleg Live In Melbourne Australia was of a June 17, 1964 performance in terrible quality. Although The Beatles really did play at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in 1964, the 1975 LP Forest Hills Tennis Stadium featured songs that The Beatles had not even written yet at the time of playing the venue and the packaging stated that the music was broadcast on WBOX radio in New York. In reality, most of the album was composed of five songs from the soundtrack to the Beatles at Shea Stadium documentary and the BBC recording od Lucille with crowd sounds dubbed over it. In 1976, ABC Manchester (aka Four Young Novices) was released. This LP was the soundtrack of a Pathe newsreel called The Beatles Come To Town, which was filmed on November 20, 1963 and features live performances of two Beatles songs in Manchester. An audience tape featured in the bootleg John Paul George and Jimmy was the first time bootleg fans got to hear Jimmy Nicol performing with The Beatles. The recording was the the June 4, 1964 show in Copenhagen. Another 1966 show at the Budokan Hall originally from videotape surfaced on the bootleg The Beatles Tour: The Great Take-Over.
BBC Sessions
The first BBC recordings to become available on bootleg began to circulate around 1971. At the time, many of them were claimed to be outtakes from EMI studio sessions. The best-known of these compilations is Yellow Matter Custard (a.k.a. As Sweet As You Are). Yellow Matter Custard contained fourteen songs, only one of which, Slow Down, was previously released by The Beatles. Once it became known that these were not studio outtakes, it was thought that they were from a November 1962 BBC radio broadcast. However, if Sides A and B are reversed, it is apparent that the recordings are in fact chronological recordings of the Pop Goes The Beatles program from July to September 1963 in poor quality. It is most likely that a British fan externally taped songs that weren't available on record (Slow Down was not available on record until 1964) with a home recorder. In 1972, more BBC material began to circulate with the release of Studio Sessions 1 and Studio Sessions 2 on the TMOQ label. Like all previous releases of BBC material, the BBC recordings were billed as alternate takes from EMI sessions and some releases of the material even claimed it to be The Beatles' famed Decca audition. The twenty-four songs on this compilation were, in actuality, a good chronological record of the Summer 1963 Pop Goes The Beatles series. Though the sound quality was very poor and was obviously an off-line recording of another speaker, it was a great addition to the small amount of BBC material already available. The record The Never Released Mary Jane featured further new BBC radio recordings: three songs from Top Gear in July 1964, plus chat with Brian Matthew. The source tape in this case was a rebroadcast on the show Top Of The Pops, which offered the best quality BBC material yet. Also on the LP was Shout! from the Around The Beatles BBC TV special, as well as the standard collection of B-Sides and outfakes. By 1973, radio material was still a major staple of Beatles bootlegs with the then-lack of studio outtakes. The compilation Abbey Road Revisited featured new material, common reissues, and outfakes. Side A was mostly the Renaissance Minstrels album. Side B featured material from The Beatles' Story, including an edit of You Really Got A Hold On Me made up of half a live recording for Swedish radio and half the commercially released version. Outfakes were also included on the album, including Bye Bye Bye (really Kenny Everett), Have You Heard The Word? (really The Fut), and Kenny Everett doing a Mean Mr Mustard jingle. The only new stuff was:
- A poor quality tape of Paul's demo of Step Inside Love from a radio broadcast.
- A short jingle by Paul from the BBC radio show Where It's At called All Together On The Wireless Machine.
- John performing Don't Let Me Down and Those Were The Days on the radio during a bed-in.
- A short interpretation of Cotton Fields by John during a June 6, 1968 Kenny Everett radio show.
None of these were really studio outtakes, but they were the closest thing to studio outtakes available at the time. The bootleg Mary Jane, better known as Spicy Beatles Songs, saw the release of new BBC material, namely three songs from a February 1964 session of From Us To You as well as some chat with Alan Freeman. Also in 1973, the BBC recording of I'll Be On My Way made it onto a rare one-sided single. This was the first appearance of the Beatles version of the recording. By 1974, the song would become common on bootlegs. The 1974 bootleg Soldier Of Love was significant for the first appearance, albeit low-quality, of Soldier Of Love (Lay Down Your Arms). Other than that, it contained I Got A Woman also from Pop Goes The Beatles, and the first LP appearance of I'll Be On My Way. The second side of the album was a copy of Murray The K's 1964 EP (containing mostly interviews and a portion of Shout). A small amount of new songs, this time from Saturday Club, appeared on Rare Beatles and Happy Birthday. These included an incomplete, static-filled version of Johnny B. Goode. It was now apparent that collectors had more foresight than the BBC in preserving the BBC recordings, as most BBC recordings were destroyed shortly after broadcast. It would take many more years for it to become apparent just how many recordings had been preserved by fans. An exciting find of 1978 was the recording session from the July 17, 1964 edition of BBC Radio's From Us To You. This first appeared on a 10" EP called From Us To You: A Parlophone Rehearsal Session. These outtakes included an incomplete version of the show's theme song, a false start of I Should Have Known Better, the basic track for I Should Have Known Better, and the basic track for I'm Happy Just To Dance With You.
First Studio Outtakes
What's The New Mary Jane became the first EMI studio outtake to circulate on bootleg in 1972. It is believed that this was possible because John Lennon traded his copy to somebody in New York City. The song first became available in a poor-quality three-minute mono mix on the LP Mary Jane. In 1975, despite the fact that there was still only one studio outtake available, the album EMI Outtakes was released. This album opened up with What's The New Mary Jane (in stereo for the first time), but the rest of the album was full of common alternate mixes of songs and Side B was the Arounnd The Beatles TV show audio. Outtakes from the Abbey Road sessions finally came to light on the 1978 LP No. 3 Abbey Road N.W. 8. This included longer versions of You Never Give Me Your Money, Something, and Maxwell's Silver Hammer. It was also the first appearance of Her Majesty with the final chord. The second side featured twenty minutes of Paul and Donovan singing classic 1968 songs during the sessions for Mary Hopkin's Post Card album. Some of these tracks first appeared on Strawberry Fields Forever magazine's 1977 Christmas flexi-disc, but this was the first widescale release.
Christmas Recordings
As early as 1970, various fan club Christmas messages appeared on bootlegs. In 1970, The Beatles Fan Club released From Then To You/The Beatles Christmas Album in the US and UK to fan club members. This record had all the Christmas messages The Beatles made for fan club members from 1963 to 1969. 1972 saw the first complete gathering of every Christmas message on bootleg. This record, called The Beatles Christmas Collection was released on the TMOQ label and gave non-fan club members a chance to hear all the Christmas messages in one place. This record was likely sourced from From Then To You and not the various flexi-discs sent to fan club members.
With relatively little information on the recordings of The Beatles at the time, the 1970's bootleg market was prone to numerous fake recordings. An early example of this is the 1972 record Renaissance Minstrels. This record featured classic Ed Sullivan Show performances chopped up and overdubbed with screaming crowd sounds to give the impression that the record was a lost concert. Volume Two of Renaissance Minstrels was full of Get Back acetates and pirated singles and Volumes Three and Four were group and solo tracks. The 1976 bootleg Dr. Robert featured poor-quality alternate mixes of commercially released songs, while the other side contained classic outfakes such as L.S. Bumblebee and Have You Heard The Word?. In 1977, the LP Indian Rope Trick, a name now synonymous with outfakes, was released. Although it did feature some newly-released songs, much of it was full of outtakes. Some outtakes featured included:
- A one-speaker version of the stereo mix of Hey Bulldog claimed to be an outtake.
- A one-speaker version of the stereo mix of It's Only Love, claimed to be an "acoustic version."
- A song by The Fourmost called I Love You Too claimed to be The Fourmost with Paul McCartney on vocals.
- Frenzy and Distortion from Raga, a Ravi Shankar LP released by Apple, claimed to be Not Guilty.
- My Bonnie with both English and German intros.
- Ron Nasty (Neil Innes) singing Cheese And Onions from Saturday Night Live.
- Linda McCartney doing Oriental Nightfish from the film of the same name.
This LP did, however, feature a January 1969 version of All Things Must Pass, though more of the tape would be released later. The 1978 LP 20 x 4 included solo material, recently-released material and various outfakes, including Penny O'Dell (claimed to be Paul McCartney & Wings, really Country artist Kenny O'Dell) and a supposedly alternate version of Every Little Thing (really the studio version with a twelve-string electric guitar played by a fan dubbed over).
First Wave of Resurgence of Beatle Interest
1973 saw renewed interest in The Beatles. This was caused by the Apple compilations 1962-1966 and 1967-1970 (curiously enough, released partially because of a "greatest hits" bootleg called Alpha Omega released the previous year) and solo hits such as Give Me Love, Photograph, Mind Games, and My Love. This interest carried into the bootleg market, as there were nearly three times as many bootlegs made in 1973 than the year before.
The Beatles' Story
A major source for the bootlegs of the 1970's was the thirteen-part BBC radio program The Beatles' Story. Unfortunately, though it was broadcast by the BBC, much of the information given about the songs was no more accurate than the bootleggers. The first widespread reissue of The Beatles' Story material was the early 1973 bootleg record Have You Heard The Word?. Side A featured the title song, an outfake, and fifteen minutes of Get Back material. Side B featured the following tracks from The Beatles' Story:
- I Forgot To Remember To Forget (excerpt of May 1, 1964 at BBC), narrator incorrectly states the singer as Paul and not George.
- Twist And Shout, (Swedish Radio October 24, 1963), narrator claimed it was from the Indra Club, Hamburg, 1962.
- Roll Over Beethoven, (Swedish Radio October 24, 1963), bootleggers claimed it was from the Kaiserkeller, Hamburg, 1962.
- Long Tall Sally, (master take with overdubbed screaming), bootleggers claimed it was the Top Ten Club, London, August 1963.
- Dizzy Miss Lizzy, (May 26, 1965 for BBC Radio), no source given, but it was assumed by listeners to be a studio outtake.
- Lucille, (excerpt of September 7, 1963 for BBC Radio), narrators claimed it was sung by John rather than Paul.
Surfacing of Decca Audition
The first time a recording from the January 1, 1962 audition at Decca Records surfaced on bootleg was in 1973, when the album L.S. Bumblebee was released. The album had some of the more common material, such as the Get Back sessions, as well as some obscure material, such as Hey Jude from Experiment in Television, Yesterday from the Ed Sullivan Show, and All You Need Is Love from Our World. It also contained the outfake L.S. Bumblebee, which was really a parody of psychedelic music done by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. As mentioned before, the most historically significant part was the first appearance of the Decca audition version of Love Of The Loved. At the time, fans only knew the song as a Cilla Black tune and assumed that the version offered must be from the BBC or a demo, but it in reality was the first time bootleg fans got to hear part of the Decca audition. Nobody knows how the bootlegger obtained the recording. All of the surviving Decca audition tapes finally surfaced on the 1978 LP Decca Sessions. It would take sixteen more years until there was a bootleg that played all the survivng Decca recordings at the right speed.
Peace Of Mind/The Candle Burns
See Main Article: Peace Of Mind/The Candle Burns
Perhaps the most puzzling bootlegged song is Peace Of Mind/The Candle Burns. This song first appeared on the 1973 bootleg Supertracks and was soon rereleased on the bootleg album Peace Of Mind (which also featured the first release of Carol and Lend Me Your Comb from the July 16, 1963 edition of Pop Goes The Beatles). Originally, it was claimed to be an outtake from the 1967 sessions for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band that was found in an Abbey Road trash bin in 1970. Many have argued that the song is an outfake. While the story about the studio outtake in the trash can at Abbey Road Studios has been proven false by the increasing knowledge of The Beatles' studio sessions, some Beatle fans still argue that the song is a Lennon home demo made somewhere between 1966 and 1968.
Beatles vs. Rolling Stones releases
Despite the ever-increasing number of Beatles outtakes available, bootlegger began to make albums pairing Beatles and Rolling Stones material. From this, the 1973 album Battle was released. It featured early Rolling Stones outtakes and The Beatles' August 1965 Ed Sullivan Show appearance. Another bootleg album from that era was Beatles and The Rolling Stones Live, which, although it wasn't really a live performance of both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, featured three new BBC radio cuts as well as Hollywood Bowl material.
Film Soundtracks
Beginning in 1973 was a bootleg series known as Cinelogue. This series featured poor-quality dubs of complete Beatles movie soundtracks. The first volume featured Let It Be, which made some sense because it had unreleased material on the disc. Later volumes featured films such as Yellow Submarine and Paul's 1973 TV special.
Beatles solo material
Because 1973 saw so many new bootleg recordings, 1974 saw a slight period of slowing down of new Beatles material. This led to more bootlegs focused on Beatles solo material and less bootlegs focused on The Beatles themselves. Around this time, new bootlegs contained Paul and George's tours and John's TV appearances.
TV Appearances
The 1974 bootleg Stockholm managed to avoid the endless reissues that so frequently happened to 1970's bootlegs, possibly due to its poor sound quality. Still, it featured material that would be relatively rare for the next fifteen years. It was on this bootleg that the first live BBC session surfaced. Three of the four songs from the July 17, 1963 morning broadcast of Easy Beat, taped directly from the broadcast, first became availble. Due to the fact that it was an off-line recording, it was of terrible sound quality. After this, the album featured audio from the Beatles' October 30, 1963 appearance on the Swedish TV show Drop In. Side B featured all six songs from Blackpool Night Out on August 1, 1965. The 1978 bootleg Youngblood featured a complete previously-unreleased December 1963 TV special called It's The Beatles, as well as some new BBC recordings.
Legal Threats
Due to crackdowns by the RIAA and new material becoming more scarce, the Beatles bootleg world changed. Many of the old bootleg label giants such as TMOQ and CBM packed up and moved shop, sometimes even changing names. This left newer labels like Wizardo, Melvin Records, and TAKRL to repackage material previously released by the defunct labels.
New Labels
Melvin Records debuted in 1975 with the album Their Greatest Unreleased. It included previously-released BBC cuts, Let It Be soundtrack material, two outfakes, and other poor-quality material. The second Melvin LP, 21, had a slightly different line-up, but still had nothing new. Tobe Milo, a bootleg record label founded in 1976, dominated 1977 with a series of "collectors'" EPs with well designed packaging and mediocre material. Tobe Milo releases include Life With The Lennon's (sic), outtakes of John and Yoko's album Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With The Lions. The album Brung To Ewe By featured fifteen versions of Paul McCartney's song Now Hear This Song Of Mine. Tobe Milo's material continued into 1978, their second (and final) full year of operation. The first new material was released in extracts on the album The Best Of Tobe Milo Productions. Somehow, they had obtained soundboard tapes of both Beatles 1965 Houston concerts. After previews and a single, the full concerts appeared on Live From The Sam Houston Coliseum, a double-LP, and In Person Sam Houston Coliseum (evening show only). Live In Italy was another, albeit incognito, Tobe Milo 1978 release. It featured the first few minutes of the June 24, 1965 show taped by an audience member and an interview from Italian TV. Man Of The Decade, a one-sided LP, included several new minutes from the January 3, 1969 Get Back session. More of that session would turn up later. Melvin Records continued to release new material in 1978. First, there was When It Says Beatles Beatles Beatles On The Label Label Label You Will Love It Love It Love It On Your Turntable Turntable Turntable, which contained poor-quality material, although it did contain the first thirty seconds of Red Hot, a song recorded at the Star-Club in December 1962. Melvin's next release was Ed's Really Big Beatles Blasts, which contained high-quality unedited portions from all three appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show. They returned with The New 21 (21 Big Ones). In reality, the record contained no new material. One of the oddest Melvin releases was the 1979 LP The Beatles vs. Don Ho. The sleeve of the album parodied the Vee-Jay record The Beatles vs. The Four Seasons. The album opened with the bootlegger attempting (and failing) to give the LP away free over the phone. Side 1 ended with somebody mumbling "I buried Joel" during Strawberry Fields Forever, a dig at "Paul is dead" theorist Joel Glazier. Don Ho appears at the end of the album, singing Tiny Bubbles. There was also Beatles material on the album, including a version of I'm Down from The Hollywood Bowl in 1965 from a radio broadcast which has appeared nowhere else. Also on the album were a rehearsal take of Give Peace A Chance from the Montreal bed-in and Maxwell's Silver Hammer from a Get Back session on January 7, 1969.
Second Wave of Resurgence of Beatle Interest
1976 saw another, larger renewal in the popularity of The Beatles. This time, the popularity was caused by Apple's new power to rerelease The Beatles' back catalogue now that their contract had expired (such as Rock 'N' Roll Music and the reissue of all the Beatles singles) and Paul McCartney's first tour of North America. To keep up with Apple, bootleggers would begin to release recordings with various gimmicks, such as attractive covers, pressing in "limited editions," or pressing on vinyl. A trend at the time was to release 45-RPM discs - singles and EPs - through magazines or fan clubs. While EMI's ability to release unavailable Beatles material spurred a new era of interest in The Beatles, it was also dangerous for the bootleg market, as the lack of new material led to repackagings and reissues. The 1977 EMI release The Beatles Live at The Hollywood Bowl saw the release of parts of two concerts which no piece of was available on bootlegs previously.
Joe Pope's Strawberry Fields Forever
A major source of bootlegs in the mid- and late-1970's was through Joe Pope's magazine Strawberry Fields Forever. In 1976 and 1977, the magazine would sell 7" discs, which, although they offered new material in good sound quality, were quite expensive and were pressed on colored vinyl inferior in sound quality to non-colored vinyl. The first single was How Do You Do It?/Revolution (from the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour). This was significant in that it was the first appearance of unreleased studio material since What's The New Mary Jane in 1972. The tape came from a syndicated RKO Radio broadcast. Another significant addition to the Beatles bootleg world from the magazine was the singles of the Decca audition, which brought fourteen of the fifteen songs recorded at the audition to the bootleg fans' ears. Unfortunately, the fifteenth track was not released until 1978, when all the recorded Decca songs were released on one LP. The final disc in the Strawberry Fields Forever series was an EP of The Beatles' November 4, 1963 appearance on the Royal Variety Show. This recording was obviously taped directly from a TV and was incomplete, fading out halfway through From Me To You.
Radio Broadcasts Again a Source
In 1977, radio broadcasts once again became a major source for Beatles bootlegs. Two new outtakes appeared on bootleg thanks to a recent Radio Luxembourg broadcast of 1967 acetates of I Am The Walrus and The Fool On The Hill. Unfortunately, this broadcast only played half of the acetate, crossfading to the released version. The acetates have since surfaced in the full versions. A French broadcast introduced the first new Get Back material in years. For the first time, bootleggers heard Watching Rainbows, Mean Mr Mustard, and Madman from January 14, 1969. More of this tape would become available not long after. Also, a US radio broadcast of a Summer 1976 Beach Boys documentary (narrated by Wolfman Jack) brought Spiritual Regeneration/Happy Birthday Mike Love from Rishikesh, India to bootleg fans. This recording previously appeared on Strawberry Fields Forever's Christmas flexi-disc.
Late 1970's Lack of New Material
The year 1979 was full of picture discs and reissues. It looked at the time like all the good Beatles material had dried up. In actuality, the 1980's would be full of new releases and previously-unreleased material. Because of private business at Capitol Records, the BBC, and Abbey Road Studios, bootleggers of the 1980's got better quality unreleased songs.
Continued Surfacing of BBC Material
The 1980 bootleg The Beatles Broadcasts featured eighteen BBC recordings from 1963 and 1964 in much higher quality than the previously released bootlegs of BBC material. Exclusive to this bootleg at the time was Clarabella, a song most Beates fans at the time were not even aware that The Beatles had covered. The Beatles Broadcasts was not only an improvement in sound quality, but also it had more elaborate packaging than most bootlegs at the time.

How to exercise as a family
We know the average day for a family is pretty hectic - from cleaning to cooking to helping the kids with their homework and managing the million and one other things that need to happen to keep a household going, it's hard to fit in regular exercise. So why not do it as a family? It's a way to spend time together and also get active. But does that mean having to bundle the kids off to the nearest gym? Nope! Health and wellness expert and author of "Going organic: your guide to a healthier life" Kris Abbey should know, she founded a health camp for kids!
"There are so many things families can do together that come under the 'umbrella' of exercise – any form of movement is exercise! Unfortunately, as soon as we coin the term exercise people feel they must work up a sweat or be in the gym pumping iron! Not so." Abbey has come up with a few fun ways to get the whole family moving and it's super easy and won't cost you the earth. Lace up those sneakers and get fit!

If Lacey had to dance that horrid hip hop with those horrid outfits and Sara got to dance Mia's emotional, albeit overrated piece, Sara would still be here. Choreography and costumes have as much to do with the results as the actual dancing at this point. I don't get Lacey, I think she's a good dancer and she doesn't really bug me, I just don't know why America is in love with her, and who votes for Lauren. I can hardly remember anyone saying they like her? I'll miss Sara, she was the bomb, and hot too.
Nancy Says:
August 3rd, 2007 at 6:52 am
i felt so bad DOMINIC had to go
i knew he wasnt going to win but
he was the most improved
i will hope SABRA wins this year
Sara Says:
August 3rd, 2007 at 10:00 am
Wow – I would never have predicted that Sara would have been sent home last night. She is so much fun to watch and has proven herself over and over again with her versatility at handling even the most challenging dances (Tango? West Coast Swing?) She's amazing! Who in the world is voting for Lauren? I thought she would have been gone before Jaimie. Is she really that popular with people? Everyone has been saying that she will be the next to go for about the past five weeks now. What is happening with her? I wish Sara was still in the competition. I hope that Lacey and Sabra survive over Lauren next week but not…I'm not so sure.
Senator Phil Gramm (R-Texas) Says:
August 3rd, 2007 at 10:03 am
Nigel and Co are NOT going to let Sabra win the competition this year, it aint happening so you might as well crown Lacey the winner since that is who Nigel REALLY wants like Simon pushed and pimped Jordin to win Idol this year.
I'm hoping Lauren goes home next week because I think Sara's fans are going to be pissed on what happened last night and Lauren will be the one they're going to take it out on.
Wootch Says:
August 3rd, 2007 at 1:43 pm
Sara was my remaining fave (I was a Jami fan too) and was definitely disappointed to see her go. She is such a doll and I think showed America what she can do with all those different styles OTHER than breakin' and Hip Hop (Love Salt N Pepa's "Push It" but that routine and wardrobe DID kill them–she is so cute, why hide it!). I have to think Lauren will be the next to go but I'm not sure why there seems to be a lot of resentment towards her. I've seen her called some names here and on other boards. Why? She's cute and talented, although MAYBE not as talented as Sabra and Lacey. She needs some maturity, is all. At this point, I'd actually go with Sabra, as the best remaining dancer although, annoyance aside, Lacey is amazing as well. You can't fault the remaining girls AT ALL.
Now for they guys, it's gotta be Danny or Pahsa, right? Danny is still suffering from some likeability issues but he can dance like nobody's business. Should be fun to see how this plays out!

August 3rd, 2007 at 2:30 pm
I can`t believe dominic went home!
i freaking cried when he went home. man its almost my most two favorite guys that are in the bottom 2… =[ now my only hope is neil.. I wish dominic was still in the competition.
Fan Says:
August 3rd, 2007 at 2:35 pm
I really hope it comes down to Lacey and Sabra
viki Says:
August 3rd, 2007 at 3:46 pm
I think it's going to come down to Pasha and Sabra.
viki Says:
August 3rd, 2007 at 3:47 pm
I think it's going to come down to Pasha and Sabra. They were terrific together.
sammm. Says:
August 3rd, 2007 at 7:36 pm
i dont know what you all are talkin about, but laurens great, she's my fav.
and dominic wouldve been safe if danny had been in the bottom two.
forreals, who wants to see danny continue?
connie Says:
August 4th, 2007 at 5:05 pm
there are only 2 really gifted people remaining Danny and Sabra…All the others are doing well but are not as trained.. come on folks…give credit to those who have it all.
cecilia Says:
August 6th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
i'm happy that Sara went home, but not Dominic. he wasn't the best one there, but hes better than Danny. I love Lauren, but i have a feeling that she's out next week. i think the top four will be Pasha, Neil, Lacey, and Sebra. I love Lacey too, but i think the only reason why she'll be the top girl is because of her brother. sorry, but that's really what i think.
ana Says:
August 9th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
I love Danny!!!!
he is wonderful!!!!
his piourettes are increadible
I think he will win the competition…
I agree with connie about lacey… she is on the top only because Benji!!
Tiana Cosby Says:
August 14th, 2007 at 11:45 am
i totally argee with connie the only reason why Lacey is in the top 4 because of her brother i hope Sabra wins she rocks.

The Buzz
Need-to-know news
Politics & law
Deluged with a mail-writing campaign asking for clemency, federal judge Reggie B. Walton nonetheless sentenced vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby to 2 1/2 years in prison and levied a $250,000 fine for perjury and obstruction of justice in the Valerie Plame case. In an unusual move, the judge released the pre-sentencing letters, dismissing a request from Libby's lawyers that they remain sealed. Letters supporting Libby came not only from expected conservatives-former UN ambassador John Bolton, recently dismissed World Bank head Paul Wolfowitz, and former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld-but from unexpected quarters: Democratic strategist James Carville, Clinton-era Mideast diplomat Dennis Ross, and former Soviet dissident and Israeli cabinet minister Natan Sharansky. Libby, the highest-ranking official sentenced to prison since the Iran-Contra affair, is likely to enter prison despite ongoing appeals-unless his supporters are successful in pressing President Bush to issue a pardon.
Persian Gulf
Turmoil in the Persian Gulf last week came less from man-made elements in Tehran and more from a natural phenomenon. Cyclone Gonu, the Arabian Peninsula's worst storm in at least 60 years, hit the Strait of Hormuz as a Category 5 hurricane June 5, threatening to cut transportation through one of the world's most important petroleum arteries. As the storm approached, ports from Oman to Iran closed, at least 12 people were killed in Oman, and oil prices-again-were expected to spike.
U.S. senators worked past midnight last week to hold together a compromise immigration package one supporter, Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.), called "longer than the Bible." Senators struck down amendments undoing its amnesty and visa-extension provisos, but approved by a single vote in the early morning hours of June 7 an amendment to shut down the bill's proposed guest-worker program after five years-a move that could upset the delicate bipartisan balance behind the deal.
Human-rights activists are using high-resolution satellites to monitor imperiled villages in the Darfur region of Sudan, posting the images online. The new Amnesty International website, eyesondarfur.org, launched June 6. It includes archived images showing villages destroyed since the conflict began in 2003 and hotspots where over 200,000 have been killed. "We're hoping that by shining a light that we will deter the abuse from ever happening," said Amnesty's Ariela Blatter.
In Laos, Vang Pao fought the Japanese in World War II and the Communists during the Vietnam War, recruited by the CIA for his bravery and command of local Hmong people. Now the 77-year-old faces another battle: June 4 charges that he and eight others-including a former California National Guardsman-plotted a violent overthrow of Laos' still-Communist government. Prosecutors said the group was planning to recruit a mercenary army and obtain anti-tank missiles and grenade launchers-a conspiracy "to murder thousands and thousands of people at one time," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Bob Twiss. Vang Pao is both revered and reviled: He came to the United States around 1975 and helped thousands of Hmong to settle here, but recently split with old Hmong veterans.
Evan O'Dorney, a 13-year-old homeschooler from Danville, Calif., won the Scripps National Spelling Bee May 31 on the word "serrefine," a noun describing small forceps. But the eighth-grader says he's better at math, and to prove it is registered for a calculus class at the University of California at Berkeley this summer.
Man Knows Not His Time
Sen. Craig Thomas died June 4 after a seven-month fight with leukemia. He was 74. The Wyoming Republican, elected for a third term with 70 percent of the vote last year, began his congressional career in 1989 when he took over the state's lone House seat in a special election to replace Dick Cheney, who departed to become defense secretary for the first President Bush. In 1994, Thomas won election to the Senate, where he consistently sided with conservative policies and fought to protect Wyoming's national parks. His passing will not alter the Senate's delicate balance of power as Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal must select a GOP replacement to serve until a 2008 special election. The Senate remains evenly divided with 49 Democrats and 49 Republicans, but two independent lawmakers organize with the Democrats to create a thin majority. Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson of South Dakota has been recovering from a near-fatal aneurism since December and has not participated in Senate activities. Thomas, a Wyoming native and former Marine, is survived by his wife Susan and four children.

You already know about Omega-3 if you're reading this.
But you've also heard a little bit about Omega-6 and Omega-9. They're supposed to be good for you.
- Omega-3 is essential for survival.
- Omega-6 is also essential for survival.
- Omega-9 is NOT essential.
You DO NOT need to eat Omega-9 fatty acids. Period.
If anyone tells you Omega-9 must be consumed through foods, run, don't walk, from them.
And if they tell you Omega-9 must be taken as a supplement, run even faster!
If you can roll up a newspaper and smack them upside the head before you start running, that'd be very nice. Thank you.
Makes you wonder why so many supplements boast Omega 3 6 9 on the label.
The human body is capable of making its own Omega-9 from other fats, so you don't need to eat it.
Besides, Olive oil is full of Omega-9.
OK, how about Omega-6, then?
Well, Omega-6 is essential. People have died from Omega-6 deficiency, but that was a century ago.
In the last few decades, our diets have dramatically changed. Just about every food we eat has Omega-6 in it.
Omega-6 is everywhere.
- French fries? Yes, they're fried in vegetable oils full of Omega-6.
- Snacks & Chips? Yup, them too.
- Cookies? Check.
- Fried chicken? Oh yea, tons of Omega-6 in there.
- Milk and eggs? Yes, they're even in there.
- Meats? There's plenty of Omega-6 in meats.
Why does just about everything have Omega-6 in it? Well, that's because you need oils to cook and the cheapest oils are corn oil and soy oil. And these two oils are loaded with Omega-6.
But more Omega-6 is a good thing, right?
No. Not at all.
A little bit of Omega-6 is good. But too much Omega-6 is a disaster for your health.
We've gone from eating equal parts Omega-3 and Omega-6 to eating 20 times more Omega-6.
Our body is used to equal parts of these two good fats. But when you skew the ratio of these fats, then the problems begin.
Problems like obesity, arthritis, depression etc.
If there is so much Omega-6 in our diet, why are there Omega-6 supplements?
My point exactly!
Why is Omega 3 6 9 bad for you?
It's bad because Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats compete. They compete for the same enzymes and they compete for position in your body's tissues.
Think about it like musical chairs.
If you have 20 girls and 1 boy playing musical chairs, chances are the boy will lose.
You have one cell. Twenty Omega-6 and one Omega-3. Who do you think is going to sit in that chair?
Yes, Omega-6 wins almost all the time, even though your cells need BOTH Omega-3 and Omega-6 equally. The essential Omega-3 gets pushed out. This means you could be eating Omega-3 but your body is not feeling the benefits.
Then you begin to show symptoms of Omega-3 deficiency. By this time, your health has already been compromised. You may already have dry skin, achy joints, depression or belly fat.
Oh yea, belly fat. Omega-6 likes to get stored in the middle of your body. Omega-3 on the other hand, gets stored in the brain, eyes, heart etc.
So how do you get the benefits of Omega-3? By reducing the amount of Omega-6 in your diet.
Then why on earth do supplement companies sell you Omega-6 and 9?
Because people buy it!
It's that simple.
- If you give someone just Omega-3. They're happy.
- If you give them Omega 3 6, they are happier. Because it is more.
- If you give them Omega 3 6 9, they are thrilled. Because it is even more.
Bigger and more is better.
Omega 3 6 9 is seen as a better deal, a better value.
Omega 3 6 9 Marketing Gimmicks
I've seen Omega 3 6 9 marketed as:
- "Ideal Ratio"
- "More Complete"
- "Full Spectrum"
- "Triple Omega"
- "Vegetarian-friendly"
Don't fall for it!
The next time someone tells you Omega 3 6 9 is better than just Omega-3, RUN! Run far and run fast!
|A dirty little corporate secret…
|A few years ago, I did focus group testing for a very large tuna company.
They wanted to get into the fish oil business. They knew nothing about fish oil supplements. So I helped them.
Focus groups are education for marketers. A bunch of 'average joe' consumers are put in a room and a moderator asks them questions, while the marketers watch from behind a one-way mirror.
In this focus group, we learned that consumers preferred Omega 3 6 9 to just Omega-3 because Omega 3 6 9 was perceived as more complete.
The tuna executives listened intently and took all this in.
And they asked me to reduce the amount of EPA and DHA Omega-3 in their product and asked me to formulate a drop of corn oil and olive oil for Omega-6 and Omega-9 respectively. They thought they could charge more for it!
I couldn't believe my ears!
I explained, disagreed and explained some more. But their minds were made up.
The consumer had spoken.
Those two uninformed and loud consumers, who had barely passed high school and had never touched a nutrition textbook, convinced a multi-billion dollar company to make an important nutrition decision that can seriously affect your health.
I was disgusted.
The tuna company then convinced the buyers at Walmart, Walgreens and CVS that this product would sell because it had been 'focus-group-tested.'
So they made this lousy product and shipped it all over the country. But a surprise waited for them.
Real consumers thought the tuna company was trying to rip them off by putting the left over oil from tuna cans into pills and reselling them!
The product never sold.
Sweet irony!

So most think "no more trials" means:
- F2P incoming, or
- GSO gold sellers
I'll give you a third option:
- Promotion = Current active accounts get a free invite to DF2 beta and 10% off DF2 new game price.
Makes sense... trial accounts will have all expired in 14 days, they release the promo and people have to re-sub to take advantage of it. Spike in subs, therefore $$, pop grows for a little while, beta sometime in Q3, DF2 release 2013.
Just my crystal ball contribution.

What's the difference between a credit union and a federal credit union? I'm moving to a new state and my current credit union doesn't have a presence there.
Credit unions with a federal charter are regulated by the National Credit Union Administration and insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Established by Congress in 1970 to insure member share accounts at federally insured credit unions, the NCUSIF is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, similar to how banks are insured by the FDIC. Credit unions headquartered in Arkansas, Delaware, South Dakota, Wyoming and the District of Columbia operate with a federal charter.
A credit union that operates outside of those regions and doesn't have the word "federal" in the name will most likely have a state charter, and be regulated by the supervisory authority for the state in which its headquarters are located.
Although 95 percent of state-chartered credit unions insure deposits through the NCUSIF, deposits at some state-chartered credit unions might be insured by private insurers. A private insurer provides non-federal share insurance coverage that isn't backed by the U.S. government.
If you aren't sure of your credit union's charter, use this research tool from the National Credit Union Administration to find your credit union's charter number. Federal credit unions have charter numbers under 60,000, and state-chartered credit unions have charter numbers greater than 60,000.
Related Articles
Many members, myself included, have been able to continue using their existing credit union after a move. Shared branching and mobile banking apps with remote check deposit have made banking with a credit union easier than ever before.
If you decide to join a credit union in your new community, I'd recommend researching credit unions you qualify for via the search tool on asmarterchoice.org. In addition to services offered, many consumers choose a credit union based on community involvement. The Yelp and Facebook pages for each credit union list recommendations from existing members that you might find helpful.
Choosing a financial institution isn't an easy task, but spending a little time researching your options will be well worth the investment.
Good luck with your move! I hope your family will be very happy with your new credit union and the community it serves.
Spreading knowledge about the world of personal finance is what GOBankingRates aims to do, which is why we've teamed up with one of the most influential activists in the credit union space.
Kristen Christian, cooperative activist and creator of Bank Transfer Day, will be answering reader questions in her new monthly Q-and-A column to help educate the public about what credit unions are all about.

The Single Career Girl: "I'm Dating Myself."
I'm a huge fan of the show Parks and Recreation, and on a recent episode, one of the female characters, Anne, made a great comment about being single. Someone asked her if she was dating her ex, and she said something along the lines of :
No, I'm not dating anyone right now. I'm dating myself. I'm taking time to figure out who I am and what I want.
Of course, the sarcastic and snarky April said, "God, you're so selfish, Anne."
I just loved this moment, and it's true on so many levels. Women who choose to be single are not always looked upon favorably. When you're single and don't mind it, there's an underlying assumption that something is wrong with you — that you're cold or you're too focused on your career. In Anne's case, April calls her a "lesbian nurse." Or, some might assume the opposite — that you're single because you want to date several men at once.
But the truth is, as Career Girls, we don't have time to waste. We are very driven and focused. We take our careers seriously, and when it comes to our personal lives, we don't want to waste time with the wrong person. Lately, I've found my attitude has shifted. Before, I was attending numerous singles events and trying to get a feel for what's out there. In the past month, I've slowed down the process considerably, taking the attitude that if I find that right person, then I'll make time for him. Long gone are the days when I used to search for a boyfriend just because it was nice to have one. Now is the time to settle into my career and figure out what I'm looking for in a partner — instead of just looking for a partner.
So, Career Girls, what I wanted to tell you this week is that there's nothing wrong with being single. There's nothing wrong with taking a little (or long) break to figure out what you want. And take it from someone who has gone on dates for the sake of going on dates: it gets old. Instead of saying yes to every drinks, lunch, or dinner invitation, save those times for someone you are truly excited about going out with. And in the meantime, use that spare time to focus on you and where you're headed. Ultimately, your future is in your hands — not a man's.

In the Middle of the Night (1995)
by Robert Cormier
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was published in 1996 when the Internet was in its infancy, but the themes of this story are probably even more relevant today than they were then. In 1996 it was only the true nutter who made up a separate identity at the end of a series of nuisance calls whereas today, online, anyone can be who they want to be.
I don't think this was one of Cormier's best books, partly because it was a little too obvious what was going on from about midway through. On the other hand, it took me longer than it should have to work out the point of view switches in the beginning.
I haven't read a book by Robert Cormier in a while but I enjoyed this one. The story was suspenseful enough to keep me reading although I could put it down. Although the plot kept me guessing it didn't quite have the "OMG – I have to find out what is going to happen" effect.
Years after his father kills 22 kids while driving, Denny's family begins receiving phone calls in the middle of the night during the month of October. Denny's family ends up moving alot to escape everything that has happened. While everything is going on, Denny is not allowed to answer the phone. One night Denny secretly picks up the phone and wonders what will happen next.
Denny Colbert's father was killed on Halloween night by a collapsing balcony in the movie theater. Twenty four years later harassing phone calls come day and night. Denny, however has been told not to answer the phone but is home alone one day, the phone keeps ringing and decides to answer. Denny finds himself caught in a jam between the mysterious caller, a newspaper reporter and a pretty girl named Chloe.
The main character, Danny Cobler, almost loses his life trying to find out who a mysterious midnight callers is disturbing his father's sleep and his because of the tragedy his father was involved in 25 years earlier. The experience teaches Danny to appreciate his father, and to respect his decisions. He truly realizes how precious life can be. Young readers will like the mystrious part, but also the uncertainties, inner turmoils, insecurities and struggles Danny goes through, as they are typical for a lot of kids of his age.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440226864, Paperback)Eight years before Denny Colbert was born, his father was involved in a tragic accident that killed 22 children. Now Denny is 16, and all he wants is to be like other kids his age. But he isn't allowed to answer the telephone or have a driver's license, and his family is constantly moving from town to town--all because people can't forget what happened long ago.
When Denny defies his parents one afternoon and answers the telephone, he finds himself drawn into a plot for revenge which may prove deadly.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:17:19 -0400)
Sixteen-year-old Denny lives in the shadow of a deadly accident with which his father was connected when he was Denny's age, a disaster for which some of the survivors still blame his father.

Ethnomusicologist Peter J. Garciacute;a grew up in the North Valley of Albuquerque surrounded by the sounds of local musicians like Al Hurricane, Robert Griego, Eddie Garcia and the Emeralds, and the Purple Haze. Today, various artists, numerous ensemble types, and diverse genres, styles, and singers comprise what local deejays call New Mexico music." The state's diverse, historical, and eclectic music scene reflects the complexity and struggles facing the nation's oldest native Hispanic residents as Nuevo Mexicanos hold on to what's left of their land grants, water and property rights, language, and native music-culture as transnational Mexican and international Latin American music-cultures are heard throughout the Land of Enchantment. In this critical study, Garciacute;a traces how early folk music was first recorded, archived, and preserved by the Anglo artists like Charles Lummis, Mary Austin, and later music scholars like John Donald Robb. Situating New Mexican popular and folk musics within a broader history of U.S. neocolonialism, Garciacute;a examines New Mexico music as part of a larger cultural system of lived values, experiences, and meanings.

Hi guys,
I purchased an old peugeot aubisque the other day. It probably wouldn't make a great racer but I was just going to use it for recreational endurance stuff. The bike does need some work - new bar tape, new breaks, new cables etc etc but the most immediate replacement is a new wheel set (back wheel is bent and spokes are lose). I was planning on rebuilding the whole bike with modern components, but in regards to the new wheels, I didn't want to go over board with hecktic wheels on a vintage frame - so can anyone suggest a brand of wheels which are relatively modern and available on online marketplaces but would be well suited to my bike? Thanks guys.

Pope Benedict XVI reassured wary Muslims and promoted reconciliation among Christians during a four-day trip to Turkey that concluded December 1. Photographer Patrick Andrade followed the pope during his trip. A selection of Andrade's images is presented in this EurasiaNet photo essay.
Benedict XVI angered Muslims in September by quoting a 14th-century Byzantine emperor, who disparaged Islam as "evil and inhuman." A significant portion of the pope's trip to Turkey was devoted to repairing the damage done by that speech. In Istanbul, the pope visited the Blue Mosque, where he prayed with the Grand Mufti of Istanbul, Mustafa Cagrici.
Benedict XVI also expressed support of Turkey's bid for membership in the European Union. "How can we fail to think of the various events which took place here and forged our common history?" the pope said.

Published in Company Comment on 25 January 2010
Are Obama's plans an opportunity or a threat?
OK, I'm going to put my head on the block and call Royal Bank of Scotland (LSE: RBS) a contrarian buy. It's 35p as I write. This is dangerous stuff and a distinct departure for the value hunters amongst us who like to see earnings, assets and the like underpinning company valuations.
You certainly won't see any of that here for a while and while the taxpayers still own the vast majority of it, the Government has far too much of a say for comfort. Welcome to the world of contrarian investing. You see, there's not much you can say that's positive about RBS.
But if variety is truly the spice of life, the bank may provide some spice in the months and years to come. Its price took an Obama-led battering last week thanks to the so-called Volcker rule and is well off its 12-month high of 57.65p.
At its current price, the old bank is valued at a fair bit less than its earnings per share for any of the recent years you care to pick -- bar the last couple of course.
Last week's US announcement that banks which take deposits won't be allowed to use their own money to take bets on markets, run hedge funds or make private equity investments sent shivers of fear through the British banking sector. Quite what will happen in Blighty is another matter. But we aren't far off a general election and a change of political hue looks a shoo-in.
Whether this will usher in a kinder environment for bankers is up for debate. Politicians must curry popular favour in today's world, hence the Volcker rule. However it all works itself out, I'd say these things have a habit of being over-done -- mainly in sentiment and, therefore, share prices.
The fact that there are now doubts about whether RBS will hit its target of selling its US trading business RBS Sempra Commodities, in which it has a 50 per cent stake for $2bn to JP Morgan Chase, simply lends weight to the contrarian viewpoint for me.
So for those of us who enjoy a bit of a contrarian punt as everyone tells you the bank will suffer greatly and the shares area clear sell, it's tempting. But it's also all about timing one's purchase. I think it's fair to say that the Foolish community generally advocates the "long-term buy and hold" approach to investing -- an approach I fundamentally agree with and live by.
Whether RBS at 35p fits with such a strategy is a matter for each investor to decide for his/herself.
Obama's plans have upset the game and who really knows where the chips will fall?
So why choose RBS as opposed to any of the other banks -- notably Barclays (LSE: BARC) whose shares took the biggest hammering last week? It's a fair point and depends on your investing horizons and which banking shares, if any, you already hold.
Last Summer, I thought RBS was the worst of a bad bunch and that there were better value banks elsewhere. I still believe this to be the case. I simply think that sentiment will change and RBS shares will rise as it does.
This may be more akin to gambling than investing; it depends on your viewpoint and investing timescale. Personally, I'll be buying a few for the metaphorical bottom drawer; one which I'll be happy to open again a decade from now to see what's happened.

Sempra is a good business- not sure what else RBS has in the cupboard. they still seem to have about £6 billion worth of CDOs it is doubtful these have any value as the US housing market is such a disaster. I'd be a happy buyer of RBS at 30, and dithered in Dec 2009- but this is the cheapest bank stock and could be viewed simply as an undated option.
I haven't found in this article any reason as to why RBS might be a good buy, other than that they might be a good buy.Thanks a bunch.
I'm a closet RBS buyer. Basically any bank in the 30s is a buy.

Apple reported its third-quarter earnings on Tuesday, below Wall Street analysts expectations.
Apple's third-quarter earnings of $7.05 a share on revenue of $28.3 billion were below estimates of $7.22 a share on revenue of $29.5 billion. Apple's earnings miss is a first for the company in nine years, according to The Wall Street Journal. iPhone sales for Q3 2011 racked up 17.07 million units compared to estimates of around 20 million. Despite the sales being below expectations, the figure is a 21% gain over the same quarter last year. Apple's stock dropped 6% in after hours NASDAQ trading on Tuesday.
Apple's earnings miss comes just two days before Microsoft is scheduled to report its fiscal first-quarter earnings for 2012. Microsoft's Windows revenue is likely to wobble thanks to weak growth in the PC market and competition from Apple's iPad and MacBook Air sales. Apple announced on Tuesday that it has sold 11.12 million iPads during the quarter, a 166% increase from a year ago. The company also shipped 4.89 million Macs during the quarter, another increase from the same period a year ago. Apple's iPad device is believed to be a factor in the slow down of PC sales.
Worldwide PC shipments totaled 91.8 million units in the third quarter of 2011, a 3.2 percent increase from the third quarter of 2010, according to preliminary results by Gartner last week. IDC backed up Gartner's findings by reporting a 3.6% growth in the third quarter of 2011 (3Q11) compared to the same quarter in 2010. Despite the slow down of PC sales, Microsoft could make up for this with success in other areas of the company. Microsoft's Xbox and Kinect sales have been strong this year, dominating U.S. sales charts for the whole of 2011.
Intel announced its third-quarter results on Tuesday. "Intel delivered record-setting results again in Q3, surpassing $14 billion in revenue for the first time, driven largely by double-digit unit growth in notebook PCs," said Paul Otellini, Intel president and CEO. "We also saw continued strength in the data center fueled by the ongoing growth of mobile and cloud computing." Intel's third-quarter results saw the company set new records for microprocessor units shipped, EPS, earnings and revenue, which was up 28% year-over-year. Key Intel third-quarter facts:
- PC Client Group revenue of $9.4 billion, up 22 percent year-over-year.
- Data Center Group revenue of $2.5 billion, up 15 percent year-over-year.
- Other Intel® architecture group revenue up 68 percent year-over-year.
- Intel® Atom™ microprocessor and chipset revenue of $269 million, down 32 percent year-over-year.
- McAfee Inc. and Intel Mobile Communications contributed revenue of $1.1 billion.
- The platform average selling price (ASP) was up year-over-year and flat sequentially.
- Gross margin was 63.4 percent, 0.6 percent below the midpoint of the company's expectation.
- R&D plus MG&A spending was $4.2 billion, slightly below the company's expectation.
- Net gain of $107 million from equity investments and interest and other, consistent with the company's expectations of approximately $100 million.
- The effective tax rate was 29 percent, above the company's expectation of approximately 28 percent.
- The company used $4.0 billion to repurchase 186 million shares of common stock.

RAVE To the fantastically levelheaded moms who leapt into action when I screamed for help after my son fell and hurt his head at Seattle Center. They called 911, contacted my husband, found ice, helped my hysterical 6-year old breathe and relax, and stayed with us until the paramedics were done. Their actions helped turn a scary scenario of helplessness into an affirmation of connectedness and community.
RANT AND RAVE Rant for the hikers, snowshoers, climbers, snowmobilers and other outdoor enthusiasts that ignore weather warnings and require rescuers to risk life and limb to haul them out of the woods. Maybe a fine would get their attention and save taxpayers. Rave for all the rescue services. I hope your time and energies won't be called upon for preventable accidents in the future.
RAVE During a visit to Home Depot to return some items, the staff asked for my credit card and driver's license. Later that day while preparing to board a flight to California I couldn't find my driver's license and called the store in a panic to see if I'd left it there. They had it, and the manager sent someone to the airport with it for me. Now that's service and integrity!

Criticizing homosexuality really riles up the homosexual lobby and its supporters in the mainstream media, the civil rights industry, and the liberal side of the aisle. The homosexual lobby has grown so powerful that it pressured Washington, D.C., Mayor Vincent Gray to disinvite a black man from a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. Why? Because Donnie McClurkin called homosexuality a sin. McClurkin, a pastor and a Grammy-winning gospel singer, has said that after being sexually abused as a child by male relatives, he struggled with the sin of homosexuality, but God delivered him.
The mayor's office probably assumed that because McClurkin is black, he held a "progressive" view of Scripture. In this case, race trumps faith and obedience. Ironically, Christian forgiveness, love, and brotherhood provided the framework for the civil rights movement. These days, blacks who see homosexuality as a sin are the wrong kind. Some homosexuals are even bold enough to equate the fight to dismantle government discrimination based on skin color with pushing for special rights based on sexual behavior.
Calling certain behavior a sin will divide people. Telling them what the Bible says about sin doesn't promote peace and harmony. "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth," Christ said. "I have not come to bring peace, but a sword." The sword of the Spirit cuts and convicts. Christ came to reconcile sinners to God, and He'll come again to deliver God's wrath.
A man who overcomes temptation and submits to Christ's authority is a powerful witness, even if he still struggles with the sin. After all, his soul may belong to God, but it inhabits a fallen body in a fallen world. To analogize Christian faith with civil rights, America has undergone an astounding repentance and redemption in abolishing human bondage and dismantling a government system that relegated certain members of its taxpaying citizens to second-class status. If the organizers wanted to be true to the message of the civil rights movement, they would have embraced McClurkin. Isn't tolerance all about respecting differences?
"… neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you."
