Beatles & Lennon back on Billboard’s Top 200

The re-release of The Beatles Remastered Red and Blue Albums on CD caused them both to leap back on to Billboard’s Top 200 at #29 (Blue) and #32 (Red). Both are 2 CD Sets with new booklets and liner notes. Also on the charts are John & Yoko’s Double Fantasy Stripped Down and Power to the People: The Hits. We are certain Paul’s Band on the Run will hit pretty high on the charts, after it is released tomorrow (we already have it in stock and have shipped most of the pre orders to our customers.

This Week in Beatles History: 1965 – The Beatles worked on both sides of their upcoming single, We Can Work It Out and Day Tripper. They had to finish the Rubber Soul album and still needed more tunes. They knew there was a deadline, to have it released in early December for the holidays (as they did most every year). So John and Paul got serious, wrote and recorded them over the next few weeks (George’s Think For Yourself too!). Final mixing for the album was finished on November 15th. Rubber Soul was in the stores on December 3rd. That is an astounding turnaround time.
