John played on Whatever Gets You Through the Night, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, I Saw Her Standing There The reason this happened was that John had made a bet with Elton that his re-make of LSD (John sat in, I believe) would not make it to number 1, and if it did, he would come and do it live with him.  Well, it did.

The Bootleg Zone - Formerly Beatleg site



A few quick notes for the novice.  Before grabbing Beatles bootlegs, get some of the original 
legit stuff.

Here's a quick list to get you started:

COMPILATIONS:
"1962-1966 & 1967-1970" - The best of the compilations.  Covers all of their top hits.  Each one is 
2 CDs (or 2 records for us old farts)

"1" - all of the number one singles the boys made.  

"Hey Jude" - a compilation of top singles that never made it to L.P.

"Anthology" - this is more almost an introduction for the studio outs listed above.  Lots of demos, etc.

BEST ORIGINAL RELEASES  - top 5
White Album  (no comment needed)
Abbey Road (the last Beatles album recorded)
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band (the classic summer of love album)
Revolver
Rubber Soul

Honorable mention - no particular order here

A Hard Days Night - soundtrack to the film.  

Help (U.K. version) - If Austin Powers was stoned, this is the movie he'd have made.  Some 
very good songs.

Let It Be - Has some truly GREAT songs (Let It Be, Long and Winding Road, Get Back), but not 
enough to get it into the top 5.  Always seemed to me that they should have spent more time 
writing and working on more songs for this album. The film for this shows the band disintegrating, which makes it rather depressing to listen to.

Magical Mystery Tour - Another one with some really great songs (Magical Mystery Tour, 
Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, I am the Walrus, Fool On The Hill, Bluejay Way) but rather 
disjointed effort.  The film made for this is the result of having too much money and plenty of 
drugs.


For me personally, much of the pre-1965 stuff is dated, although it still is very charming.  To 
get a feel of the early stuff, the 1962-1966 release is very good.  Hard to beat songs like 
"Can't Buy Me Love," "She Loves You" and "Eight Days a Week" though.  Give the "oldies" 
(to our kids and grandkids EVERYTHING the Beatles did are oldies) a listen 
as well.
