I love this record, but I'm having trouble swallowing the story, for a
few reasons:
1. Wasn't Abbey Road still a long white labcoat kind of place in 1969?
Were they really going to let a 17 year old novice take charge of a
recording session? Wouldn't the engineer revolt? Wouldn't it affect the
royalties / fees / something on the business side?
2. How would just any recording artist get to listen to unreleased
Beatles songs? The song Resurrection is clearly a knockoff of Across the
Universe, but the latter wasn't released until after the A's returned to
the US.
3. The record's too good to have sat unreleased for so long. There were
plenty of records released without bands to tour behind them. If the
label was willing to have Tom Hartman come back as a solo act, why not
just retitle the record as a solo project and put together a new band?
Does anybody have something to knock me off the fence, in either
direction?
