Mind Games (The Ultimate Collection) Deluxe Box Set
Episode description
In 1981, the Capitol Records green label LP, budget line re-release of "Mind Games" cost $5.99. In 2024, that same record, when heard in a cube complete with a gnome sized replica of Yoko (allegedly), can be purchased for roughly $1700. Thanks, Obama! (#Sarcasm #Satire #Satcasm)
A new precedent in solo Beatles reissues has been set with this reissue, including the more moderately priced (yet still insane) 6 disc edition. Is that a good thing? Does hearing 6 versions of "Intuition" really enhance the experience of listening to the album? And if T.J. doesn't collect it, does it even exist?
Tony and T.J. begin to dive into this massive release and answer these questions, and more, like:
💷🥊💵 Was Aunt Mimi a loyal fan of BBC 4's, "Pounds or Dollars"?
🐋 Did the Mick Jagger film "Freejack" portend the Michael Jackson film song, "Freewilly"?
🍻 Angry Chicago Fella: "How come the John Lennon tribute band, Real Sanpaku, don't play at the Merrillville Star Plaza no more?"
