On the 9th of September 2009, a man named James Richardson was traveling home through the desert of Arizona. He stopped to have a rest then, his dog went to chase a rabbit. James followed. He then tripped over, knocking him unconscious. When he awoke, he found himself in an apartment, his head bandaged, and a man named Jonas looking after him. They started talking about music and their shared interest for The Beatles. Jonas said that he had seen them perform live just the other day. James disputed this statement, by saying that they broke up 39 years prior, and John Lennon and George Harrison had since died in 1980 and 2001 respectively. Jonas insisted otherwise. 'All four Beatles are alive and well, and are still touring', he said. And to prove it he showed James a cassette tape with their newest album "Everyday Chemistry". Jonas then explained that James couldn't bring it to his dimension because it was against the law. James needed a way to bring it home. He asked for a cup of tea a minute later, Jonas went into the kitchen. James quickly went to Jonas' machine that allows him to travel from the dimension that he was in and his dimension. With the cassette in his pocket, and no time to spare, the machine brought him home. James soon found out that the building that he was in was only mere metres from where he was standing.
When James got home, he quickly got onto his computer and uploaded the music that he ripped from the cassette. He told his story about what had happened. He said that he was in a world where The Beatles broke up, and he had to say that he was not talking about 70's rock trio "Klaatu". His story spread like wild fire across the internet. Many believed his story, but some didn't. The one's who were sceptical about his story pointed out that all of the songs that were on the album were only remixes of the Fab-Four's solo works combined into one album. To this day, there are still some who believe James's story, and some who don't. But you and I can all agree, the songs are good remixes!
