Fans of The Beatles rejoice, for the popular rock band have returned after a long hiatus since 1970 to release a brand new, lost album. Before you get too excited about hearing 'Hey Jude Part 2' and 'Come Together Again', here are some facts about the unheard album, which was brought to the world’s attention in 2009.
A man from California claims to hold the key to a brand new Beatles album. James Richards, the self-professed dimension-travelling thief, believes he has his hands on the only copy of the Fab Four’s new album, which he stole from another dimension.
According to Consequence of Sound, the exciting adventure apparently started in September 2009, when, after James, chasing his dog through a California dessert, West of Turlock, stumbled on a rock and fell unconscious. You'd be surprised at the correlation between severe head injuries and dimension travelling.
He then claims to have pocketed the lost Beatles cassette upon waking in a room full of strange electronic equipment. According to James, a man from the other dimension, named Jonas, helped our hero get back to our world to release 'Everyday Chemistry' to the excited world.
The album in question is 'Everyday Chemistry', which can be downloaded from James’s website The Beatles Never Broke Up. Click the link to judge for yourself whether or not the album in question is genuine.
For those that don't wish to download the album, it has also been uploaded to Youtube which can be viewed below. Either way, you have to appreciate Richards' decision to withhold from making serious captial off of his dimension travelling escapades.
The album has been described, as being a mash up of the rock bands solo efforts, and while not being terrible is definitely a unique sound. There are some instrumental flickers throughout that apparently sound very Beatle-esque.
This isn’t the only Beatles conspiracy to pop up since the band split in 1970, but could well be the most fascinating and truly bizarre story to appear in some time, including the conspiracy that Paul McCartney died in a car crash and was replaced by a lookalike.
Judge for yourself whether this is the return of one of the most famous bands in the world, or if the album was thought up in the mind of James Richards.
