Iām so used to the mix of āLove Me Doā on the 1s CD that this 2023 mix sounds like an aberration.
Iāve been flicking through it agai, and I absolutely love how MacDonald is so confident about his opinions. He sort of shits on āI Want Youā, which seems ridiculous, but the way he writes is so strong. The man was born to be on forums.

So far Iāve found him to be harsh on a number of songs I like

He hates Daytripper and Come Together as well doesnāt he iirc
I have my copy open here:
āāCome Togetherā is the key song of the turn of the decade, isolating a pivotal moment when the free worldās coming generation rejected established wisdom, knowledge, ethics, and behaviour for a drug-inspired relativism which has since undermined the intellectual foundations of western culture.ā
Just a very strange take, and he does reveal some āreactionaryā opinions through the rest of the book.

I havenāt got to Come Together yet but yeah he just sort of ripped on Day Tripper for being just a riff I think. He really didnāt like All You Need Is Love, which I kinda understand, but Iāve always liked for what it is. Itās in a part of the book (their career) where they are being quite slack so he goes with that
He also really loves some we early period songs that have absolutely never grabbed me. Again, he could be right, that stuff has aged more
No fan of āclassicalā Macca was our Ian
That star at the bottom means 1/5 for anyone unfamiliar with Q magās star rating system.

Cor, thatās an absolute stinker!
Louder Macca in the chorus on Norwegian Wood is a lovely thing. Reminds me of the mono mix of Iām So Tired.

Superb song. Very Quo, but that opening riff and scream still raise the hairs on the back of your neck.
Filmed in Twickenham Studios by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in September 1968 so this is like proto-Get Back
I like that George and Paul are still doing the microphone sharing thing
