is that a rainbow on their album????
it wouldn't surprise me...given that Michael Jackson is a big collector of the Beatles memorabilia, the album promoters I guess figured a rainbow would appeal to the ambigously gay rainbow nerds.
dudes,.... a " rainbow "is the international sign of gay pride
just ask " LIP "....he does know any women!!!

WTF? Are you such a homophobe that you are against any portrayal of anything rainbow-like?
Don't try to deny it. Your remarks have "convicted" you ;)

You do realize that the Beatles have sold more albums than anyone in history, right?

grin...
just because gay's use the rainbow doesn't mean the rainbow is gay.... Plus they had a rainbow on Magical Mystery Tour. And um... have you ever seen yellow submarine? I think they may use one or two rainbows in there...
Rainbows were the hippies' first.... Take some mushrooms and see if you don't see rainbows...

We've had a ton of rain this year and there's been a shitload of rainbows around here lately. I see one almost every day. Does that mean anything? Hmnn, I wonder. This is the SAN FRANCISCO Bay area after all.

I bought the Beatles Vo. 2 box set today, not realizing that Capital Records pulled a fast one (see article below), and allowed defective sets to hit the market. The mono versions of two of the box setā??s albums are actually just mono mixdown versions of the stereo recordings - an accident that was discovered after pressing, and delivering, a number of initial copies to stores and online vendors (Amazon, etc.).
My set is one of those, and Iā??m waiting to hear how they are going to fix this. Iā??m very disappointed that Capital is more interested in making a fast buck than ethical decisions.
25% of the defective box setsā?? contents are incorrectly reproduced. In my case, itā??s 50%, because I wanted to play the mono versions on a single speaker system - similar to the way many of us remember them sounding.
Shame on you, Capital! Those bad copies should have been recalled, not sold in stores and on Amazon, etc.:cursing:

Inqlings | WMGK jock snags CD gaffes

Do you want to know a secret?
The big Beatles boxed set that hits stores on Tuesday contains errors in two of the four CDs - and it was WMGK afternoon disc jockey Andre Gardner who caught them and tipped Capitol Records.
Even Gardner concedes that you have to be a hard-core Beatles fan - the word geek comes to mind - to realize that something was amiss with The Beatles Capitol Albums Vol. 2. The incorrect masters were used to create the Rubber Soul and Beatles VI discs.
Gardner, planning to feature the set on his 9-11 a.m. Breakfast With the Beatles show today, says he cracked open the set and played what was supposed to be the mono version of "Norwegian Wood" on Rubber Soul. But his trained ears did not catch the distinctive cough between the lines "... and she told me to sit anywhere" and "... so I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair" - which told him that the version was in fact the U.S. stereo mix "folded down" to mono.
Gardner also put on "I'm Looking Through You," and noticed Paul McCartney coming in early on acoustic guitar. That "false start" was heard on the song's U.S. stereo mix and not on the mono mix. This told him that the stereo tapes were used mistakenly in the Rubber Soul pressing, as well as on Beatles VI.
Gardner called L.A.-based Beatles expert Chris Carter, who got him to the label and put him on with Beatles expert Bruce Spizer, who wrote the set's liner notes.
Rather than let it be, Capitol decided to re-press the CDs with the correct tapes.

Ringo is coming to play in Boston this summer and I plan on being there. This will be my third time seeing him. I saw Paul a few years ago. Obviously, it was amazing.
