THE BEATLES

I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM ENTITLED GET BACK,WAY BACK IN 13/6/1970. IT COMES WITH A SOFT PHOTO ALBUM WITH PHOTOGRAPHS BY ETHAN A RUSSELL AND I HAVE REPRODUCE SOME OF THE PHOTOS. DID YOU KNOW THAT GET BACK WAS MEAN TO BE A POLITICAL SONG?
DON'T DIG NO PAKISTANIS TAKING ALL THE PEOPLE'S JOB
WILSON SAID TO THE IMMIGRANTS
YOU'D BETTER GET BACK TO YOUR COMMONWEALTH HOMES
YEH YEH YEH, YOU'D BETTER GET BACK HOME
WELL ENOCH POWELL WELL SAID TO THE FOLKS....
MEANWHILE BACK AT HOME
TOO MANY PAKISTANIS
LIVING IN A COUNCIL FLATS
COUNCILLOR....MACMILLAN
AND IT TURNED INTO
JOE JOE WAS A MAN WHO THOUGHT HE WAS LONER.
BUT HE KNEW IT COULDN'T LAST
JOE JOE LEFT HIS HOME IN TUSCON ARIZONA
BOUGHT SOME CALIFORNIA GRASS
GET BACK GET BACK
GET BACK TO WHERE YOU ONCE BELONGD
GET BACK HOME.

I remember that period when 'Get Back' was released. It was much later when I read that it was 'political'. Nevertheless, I grew up on the Beatles' music.
