Comment:

I thought I'd take a different angle on this Beatles compilation.
It include interviews with the Beatles, George Martin and Neil Aspinall about the Beatles drug use.
I also included tracks that were influnced or sound drug releted.
The Live "Sullivan Show" performance is in its entirity

Those boys knew how to have fun! ( "preludin" - sounds like some kind of precursor to quaaludes - ??)

Nicely done. Of course, they didn't really do drugs, and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds was really about little Julian's drawing.

This is great. Clever idea, not to mention most all of my fave Beatles tunes.
