We were watching a DVD of a show we used to enjoy as a child called "Robin Hood," starring Richard Greene. (The show was also satirized in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Anyway, it's an episode called "Children of Greenwood." There are two young British children in the episode. Doesn't seem to be anything familiar about them.
So the show credits roll. The two children's names listed are ... Peter Asher and Jane Asher!
We quickly roll back the film. Jane is still a bit removed from the beauty she would have when she and Paul were hooked up. It's Peter, however, that looks more like his later self. A quick check of www.imdb.com confirms it.
The disc we have is available through Amazon.com in the U.S. (For those of you in the UK, this disc doesn't include the episode we mentioned, but does include "The Youngest Outlaw," which also features Peter Asher.)

What could be in the mix?
Now that the public has accepted the idea of Beatle tracks being remixed and rejiggered, a la "Love," will the underground remixing of Beatle tracks flourish even more?
It appears so. At least one new Beatle mash, a parody of the "Love" album called, interestingly enough, "Hate," has surfaced, as have a couple of older remixes.
We've heard "Hate" and don't think it's too bad -- that is until the last track it's named for. That track is an interview between pundits Alan Colmes and Sean Hannity with a extremely conservative woman spewing her hateful diatribe.
Underground mashes sound, for the most part, amateurish. They're really not to be taken seriously.
Underground remixes, however, are another story. The best ones -- including the Dr. Ebbetts series, Millenium Reissues and Mirror Spock -- may be frowned upon by the Establishment, but they do have value. We don't collect all of them, but the audio quality on some certainly reinforces the thinking why didn't the record companies do this. (One of the best examples: Mirror Spock's UHQR and mono Pepper hybrid.)
This area, however, isn't for amateurs. We're sure we'll see others try -- and fail.
It's all too much.
