i just got doug sulpy's (of "the 910" bootleg 'zine fame) book "get back: the let it be disaster" or whatever. i've been reading it while i listen to vigotone's thirty days collection and i'm already noticing some discrepencies. [btw, i realize a better companion would be the day by day series, but i'm still working on that images/icons/smile.gif ]
for instance, on thirty days vol. 7 we get a long version "bye bye love." sulpy has this song at like 3 seconds and says those 3 seconds are the only available pieces for this song.
so what sources did sulpy use in writing this book? just the videos? all that 30 days stuff was taken from nagra A rolls, which has not been diffiucult to come by for like 10 years, possibly longer (from my understanding). how could he not have access to the same tapes i have access to?
another example is a version of "let it be" probably around vol. 6 or so. i know i've heard it before i got the thirty days set too. they're playing and john and someone else decide they would rather fool around. so paul gets annoyed and says "back to the drudgery. come on lads, back to work" and things like this. john suddently becomes very angry, yelling, "it's you that's bloody making it like this." and paul cheerfully ignores it. i think it's the most interesting dialogue in the whole GB sessions--plus you can actually hear it.
i've read every single entry for "let it be" in sulpy's book and nowhere do i find a word about this little row. you cannot tell me sulpy did not find this dialogue intersting enuf to comment on.
anyone know what's up here?
