GUITAR LEGENDS FABS' SPECIAL: $9.99 (CHEAP)



Don't miss this one!





A special Guitar Legends mag hits the racks this week, and it should not be ignored.
-
Yes, there is some filler and boiler-plate, but at least three features and many seldom seen pics-including shots of neat ephemera-make the 90-pager worth the price.
-
There are fine essays on the making of "three masterpieces," being they Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, and Abbey Road.
-
Plus, a nice little ditty on "inside the Yellow Submarine."
-
But perhaps of most note, is a 1999 GL interview with George Harrison.
-
Just a year before he would become terminally ill, George seems in high spirits, even gently shilling for the the then new, Yellow
Submarine Songtrack CD, as well as the remastered 5.1 DVD of the Sub film.
-
George speaks excitedly of the remixed songs on the Songtrack, a release that some Beatle fans either love, or hate, due to its rejigging.
-
And interestingly, not even Harrison appeared to be aware of the aborted
1969 YS EP-now available in the The Beatles In Mono box-when the GL
interviewer quizzed him on it.
-
George replied that "there's nothing I can remember that was ever a solid discussion about an EP of any sort like that."
-
This special GL edition is only available until January 2010.
