Two things about the upcoming Beatle Biopics I'd like to know, more than who'll be cast or anything else is it's said director Sam Mendes annouced that Sony Pictures had approved plans for biopics of each individual member of the band. through the eyes of each of its members; Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the late John Lennon and George Harrison but two are dead and wont have say in anything so it's not gonna be fair. They should have only made a biopic of Paul and Ringo and the other would be called based on.
My other thing is, we will propably, given how greedy Apple is, have to buy tickets for four movies. But are they gonna be released at the same time or one at the time? Or are we gonna be forced to buy four tickets to see them all.

I am currently listening to "ELVIS: THE HOME RECORDINGS" (a collection of Elvis Presley's home recordings from the 1950s and 1960s) and I find incredible hearing him singing songs in that unprompted way, just having fun with friends and family, and then listen to the professional version he recorded years later.
Those are some of Elvis' personal favorites songs, folks. 🩷🥹
Here's some of them:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"HANDS OFF" (or "KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF IT")
Home recording: Fall 1960, at Monovale Drive, Hollywood (one of Elvis' homes).
Studio recording: Elvis recorded this song again during a jam session at Nashville RCA's studio B in June 5th, 1970. The song was recorded in a version in conjunction with "Got My Mojo Working". The track was first release on the LP "Love Letters From Elvis" (1971).
2. "INDESCRIBABLY BLUE"
Home recording: February 1966 at Rocca Place, Hollywood (another of Elvis' homes).
Studio recording: Elvis recorded this song professionally, not long after, in June 10, 1966. It was first released by RCA Records as a single on January 10, 1967, backed with "Fools Fall in Love". It was releases in a LP as part of the "Elvis' Gold Records Volume 4" (January, 1968).
3. "AFTER LOVING YOU"
Home recording: Recorded around 1966. Can you listen to Elvis' voice here being pretty much the same in the 1969 version? His voice by 1966 was already so improved. It's weird how they kept Elvis from singing what he really wanted to sing in order to keep the soundtrack albums going on. I'm not complaining, per say, because I don't actually hate the soundtrack songs of his movies, but we know Elvis himself was pretty beaten having to record what he called "silly songs" over the ones he truly loved, like this one (as we can see by the way he sings the song wholeheartedly).
Studio recording: During the American Sound Studio's legendary recording session under Chips Moman production, Elvis recorded this song professionally in 18th Feb, 1969, in Memphis, Tennessee.
My personal favorite. ♥ My absolute favorite Elvis album is "From Elvis In Memphis", no doubt. Hearing the home recording version of "After Loving You" is just priceless to me.
4. "WHAT NOW MY LOVE"
Home recording: Recorded sometime around 1966 too.
Again, Elvis literally was kept from singing many great songs for a long time because of his Hollywood movie contracts, not to speak about the RCA deals causing the songwriters disputes over rights and proper payment. Long story short, the songwriters did not want to give up 25% of the rights to the compositions to Hill and Range Publishings and the other Presley publishing companies that published his recording materials. So Elvis ended up with some (crappy) less powerful songs to record for many, many years. Some of the songs he truly wanted to record thanks Heaven were brought to day light. Elvis had a great taste in music. (I just wonder how many more amazing songs recorded by his powerful voice we would have today if it wasn't for the tricky record deals he was under.)
Live version: On January 14, 1973, Elvis Presley performed the song before a live audience of 1 billion people, as part of his satellite show, "Aloha from Hawaii", which was beamed to 43 countries via INTELSAT. Elvis' live rendition of the song is just breathtaking. You listen and see him performing it live and you just stop breathing. The song was first released on the live album "Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite" (February, 1973).
