Beatles ’82 pt4
from Yesterday and Today
It's fall of 1982, and a mix of both nostalgia collections and vital new content are a swirl in the world of the Beatles. In October Capitol Records issued both the 20th anniversary single release of Love Me Do, as well an LP titled The Beatles: 20 Greatest Hits - another in a string of successful repurposed material in Capitol's ever-growing line of Beatles collections. With The Who homaging the Beatles during a stint at shea Stadium, alongside October's NY Metro Beatlefest hosted by Mark and Carol Lapidos, it would be easy to classify interest in John, Paul, George and Ringo as a misty-eyed recollection of years past...but despite the decades apart, the former Beatles continued to chart some of the biggest, most successful releases of their careers.. Case in point: Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson's collaborative effort The Girl Is Mine - the titanic hit for both artists that heralded the arrival of Jackson's Thriller LP and cemented Macca as one of the most successful musicians of a third consecutive decade: the 1980s...
