\"Beatles19621966\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ja, s\u00e5 absolut. Mine for\u00e6ldre havde tre Beatles-udgivelser i deres pladesamling, da jeg voksede op: Abbey Road<\/em>, som jeg aldrig h\u00f8rte, den bl\u00e5 dbl-opsamlng 1967-70<\/em>, der indimellem blev sat p\u00e5, og s\u00e5 den r\u00f8de dbl-opsamling 1962-66 <\/em>her ovenfor, som for mig var en klar og ofte spillet favorit blandt mine for\u00e6ldres plader.<\/p>\n

Viser sig Franz Ferdinand-sangeren Alex Kapranos som dreng har haft samme Beatles-fork\u00e6rlighed for Det R\u00f8de Album<\/em>‘s rene, frie, ligefremme, ultraungdommelige popmusik. Inde p\u00e5 thequietus.com<\/a>, hvor Kapranos denne uge udv\u00e6lger sine favoritalbums, har han f\u00f8lgende personligt fine ord at sige om 1962-66<\/em>, der faktisk f\u00f8rst udkom i 1973:<\/p>\n

– I almost forgot about this one. It\u2019s funny how easy it is to miss the things right in front of you, but this record, more than any other, is the most loved record of my life. I know it\u2019s a compilation, not a proper album, etc, but all LPs are compilations of sorts and many of the songs on here didn’t appear on LPs. Also, the LPs of that early era were stuffed full of covers that could have been played by anyone, so this is the most representative.\u2028\u00a0\u2028I\u2019ve listened to it as a record all my life. The copy I picture right now is the copy that was in the flip-down compartment of my parents\u2019 Grundig stereogram that they got as a wedding present. Like Angel Delight, the Ford Cortina, G-Plan furniture or Clark\u2019s shoes, this LP was a ubiquitous object of their generation: a part of everyone\u2019s life. That\u2019s what it was to me as a kid \u2013 part of my life. It was my first taste of music, before I could speak, before I could describe what I was listening to. It\u2019s still with me and I will always listen to it until I\u2019m dead. It is part of life.\u2028\u00a0\u2028The context around this music has changed for me. When I was a toddler I had no idea how it came into existence. It was just there. Then I realised it was people who made it. Then I idolised them. Then I reckoned Lennon was probably a prick. Then I realised he was just a guy who wrote good songs, but became too rich and famous for his mental health.\u2028\u00a0\u2028I picked this rather than one of this band\u2019s famous albums, even though each has such a strong identity, as it means so much to me. I know there are complexities of ideas, ground-breaking experimentation, revolutionary themes and era-defining moments elsewhere, but this is what defined me. It\u2019s also their best period. It starts with ‘Please Please Me’. It ends with ‘Paperback Writer’. That\u2019s The Beatles for me. Well, my Beatles. Well, The Beatles on the front cover. There\u2019s that other band peering through their moustaches and beards from the back cover with the same name. Yeah, I love that band too, but not in the same way. The Red Album is the purest record ever made. I don\u2019t know what it is \u2013 rock & roll, rock, pop, faux classical\u2026 I don\u2019t care. I know the context, I know what it is and I know that nothing has ever or will ever be as great, just as I did when I was a toddler.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

En meget fin opsamling, ja, men faktisk kunne det hele om muligt have v\u00e6ret endnu bedre. I K\u00f8benhavn i midtfirserne k\u00f8bte jeg for ingen penge, i en nu forl\u00e6ngst nedlagt brugtpladebutik i Studiestr\u00e6de, en hollandsk udgave af et album fra 1965 ved navn\u00a0Beatles’ Greatest<\/em>, der p\u00e5 kun to pladesider i ikke-kronologisk r\u00e6kkef\u00f8lge gennemg\u00e5r highlights fra de f\u00f8rste to-tre store Beatles-\u00e5r, det\u00a0inklusive<\/em> de coverversioner der konsekvent ikke findes p\u00e5 1962-66. Og at f\u00e5 s\u00e5 heftige rocknroll must-haves som deres ret sublime udgaver af ‘Twist & Shout’, ‘Please Mister Postman’ og ‘Long Tall Sally’ med, oveni de i forvejen prangende tidlige originaler, g\u00f8r en endnu mere hedonistisk merseybeat-cocktail. S\u00e5dan her ser albummet ud, skulle nogen f\u00e5 lyst til at ops\u00f8ge det…<\/p>\n
