"Eight Days a Week"?

[edit]

Track 24 (disc 2) is listed as "Eight Days a Week" (Takes 1, 2 & 4) – 1:25

Listening to the track, they begin the song at the top of the track and runs until about :45 when the song breaks down; then they begin messing around with their parts, and attempt to run the song again at about 1:15, but fail, and the song is counted in again (which cuts off to the next track, which is listed here as Take 5). This site indicates that track 24 is only Takes 1 and 2; can anyone clarify where the info in this article comes from, and if it is correct, how there are three takes included in this track?

The article info appears to come from the booklet that accompanies Anthology 1 which lists four takes (1,2,4 and 5) for two tracks (24 and 25) and take 5 is described as a complete take and thus would be the whole of track 25. I haven't listened closely, but perhaps there is an edit so that takes 1 & 2 sound like one performance. There is also some noodling about on guitar that might have been considered a take. — John Cardinal (talk) 12:35, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Album cover and POV text about Pete Best

[edit]

I think there should be some text about the Klaus Voormann cover.

We also need to change the text as it relates to Pete Best. The way it reads is a little melodramatic

Pete Best's face was torn away from the Savage Young Beatles record jacket.

1) The entire collage on all 3 album covers is full of images that have been torn and overlaid by other images. Not one single image on the 3 covers is in its entirety.

2) The words "torn away" in the current version of the text are pejorative and imply that there was a motive to be defamatory to Best. That may or may not be the case. As individuals we can SPECULATE as to whether the removal of Best's head was ill-motivated or simply an artist's way to graphically convey what happened to Best (ie replaced by Starr) - but we can't do that on Wikipedia. We can only present incontrovertible facts.

They are these:

A) All three Anthology album artworks created by Klaus Voormann are in collage style with photographs and visual elements torn and only shown in part.

B) The part of the Savage Young Beatles record jacket in the centre of the Anthology 1 artwork that is torn is at the corner where Pete Best's face had been.

C) Where Best's face was on the poster is the face of his successor, Ringo Starr, on the Please Please Me album cover beneath it in the collage.

D) Best is seen on the Anthology cover in a separate small photograph standing in front of Aspinall's van parked outside The Cavern.

E) The cover of Best's album Haymans Green displays the image of Best's face not seen because of the torn album cover seen on the Anthology 1 cover.

The current text - which has no text sources - presents a POV which is why I've replaced it with a more detailed NPOV text. Davidpatrick (talk) 02:46, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pete Best's face was not in the corner, the tear is a large triangle taken out of the side. The original text was no POV at all. It merely stated that Pete Best's face had been torn away (which is true) to reveal Ringo's face (which is also true). It didn't say it was deliberate (it clearly was though); it's left up to interpretation. McLerristarr (Mclay1) (talk) 03:46, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
