I'm one of those who's persuasion is there's The Beatles, and then there's the rest of them.
All those years ago the Anthology series of albums was matched with two single releases.
Free as a bird left me cold, too slow and ploding, but I took an instant likeing to Real love. I think it lived up to the standard being set in the Rubber Soul through to Abbey Road years, not quite an Elenor Rigby or Let It Be all time classic but a damn fine effort none the less. Wiki tells me it peaked at #4 in England and #11 in the US so it was fairly well received, but how much of that was fad (or should that be fab?), what longevity does appreciation for it hold?
With the perspective of a decade now having passed, how do you think it compares with their earlier work?
