Can't Beat a bit of Beatles!
That and 'Rubber Soul' were IMO the first of The Beatles serious LPs, culminating in 'Sgt. Pepper', after which it all started to go downhill.

That's interesting, whilst I think 'Abbey Road' is good, the White Album is my least favourite. To me they should have condensed it down to a single LP. Likewise with 'Let it Be', there are only two or three tracks on it that I like (I'm playing it now, just to remind myself).
My partner has a flat in London and every time we go down Abbey Road, regardless of the weather or time of year, there are always a group of visitors either photographing themselves in front of the Studio, or unsuccessfully trying to cross the road via the zebra crossing!

I don't think I have a favourite Beatles album, none of them would make my Top 50, or even 500(But it would be between Abbey Road, White album, Rubber Soul, Revolver & Sgt Pepper - though I do have a soft spot for Yellow Submarine!)
Meanhwile, continuing to revisit my physical CD collection, and am finding that there are hundreds I have not got ripped to FLAC! Plenty I don't even remember/recognise, or remember buying or acquiring. Including this one.
'De-Constructing Ghosts' is an experimental re-mix album, released under the name of 'Galahad Electric Company' in 1999, whereby samples of guitar, keyboard, drum, bass and vocal tracks etc were taken from multi track recordings for 'Following Ghosts' and given to various other musicians and DJ's who then constructed their versions of tracks from 'Following Ghosts' or in some cases created brand new tracks using the samples that they were given, hence the name of the album.
released January 10, 2011
It's interesting, still no idea where it came from!
