OOOPs-a senior moment. Of course it was Abbey Road. Thanks for correcting me. It shows what age and infirmity can do to a memory. I really must stop posting this sort of stuff because my memory is not what it was but at least I am now realising it and it proves I don't use google much (my days of googling stopped a long time ago, but that is a different matter altogether). I remember when the White Album was released. There was much excitement amongst my friends and about 12 of us sat and listened to it all the way through and then debated its merits. At least I know that Elbow is a well respected popular music combo and A**e isn't (yet)! Thanks for putting me right.

What do you think of the white album, for me it's the Beatles great 'what could have been' record.  Has the vibe of a band that's completely fallen apart, which even the last 2 records don't have.  The Paul songs especially are just missing that extra something a fully committed band would have provided.
