  • Beatles Cover Albums During the Beatle Period
    Beatles Cover Albums during the Beatle Period As a companion to the Hollyridge Strings page, this page proposes to be a listing of (and commentary on) certain albums that were released in the United States between 1964 and April 1970. Every album in this listing has a title that indicates Beatles-related content and/or a cover that is a parody of a Beatles cover. In addition, the content of every album listed here is at least 50% Beatles-related (or, in the case of albums from 1964, "British"). Albums that are not included here include, for example, records named after a single Beatles song but which contain only a few Beatles songs: for example, Hey Jude, Hey Bing!, by Bing Crosby. 1964: Nineteen-sixty-four saw the first wave of Beatles cover albums. The earliest of these were released before the release of "Can't Buy Me Love." They tended to be quickly-recorded records designed to capitalize rapidly on the group's expanding success. Therefore, most of these albums are on small record labels, and the records themselves tended to be loaded with "filler." Possibly, the companies were not aware of the majority of Beatle product. Beattle Mash The Liverpool Kids Palace M-777 Side One Side Two 1. She Loves You 1. Thrill Me Baby 2. Why Don't You Set Me Free 2. I'm Lost Without You 3. Let Me Tell You 3. You Are the One 4. Take a Chance 4. Pea Jacket Hop 5. Swinging Papa 5. Japanese Beatles 6. Lookout for Charlie The label not only spells "Beatle" correctly but also lists the artist as "The Schoolboys." The liner notes show that this album was released before the Beatles' trip to America in February, 1964.

  • The Beatles BC
    Last Updated: 29 Jn 20 If you have a copy of Introducing the Beatles that you are trying to identify ... search on this page for 1062. Beatles records in the United States are typically found on the Capitol or Apple label. But people often ask about records, such as Introducing the Beatles, which were released by companies other than Capitol/Apple. In these articles, I will attempt to discuss the history of Beatles recordings in the US which predate their Capitol contract. Known variations of those records will be listed, along with their approximate values. The first Beatles record released anywhere was "My Bonnie" and "The Saints," with the Beatles backing Tony Sheridan. This German record (Polydor NH 24-673) was issued in two forms (with a German intro or an English intro) and with a picture sleeve. [More information can be found in this article about the Beatles' association with Tony Sheridan.] "My Bonnie" was Tony's first record and his break into the record industry. As many people know, the word "Beatles" was considered difficult to interpret by Germans, so Polydor billed the artist as Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers (October 1961). From that point on, Tony's band was known as the Beat Brothers, which caused some confusion to later Beatles fans. In January of 1962, Beatles manager Brian Epstein began negotiating with Polydor to release "My Bonnie" in England. Because of his negotiations, the UK "My Bonnie" release (Polydor NH 66-833) showed the artist as "Tony Sheridan and the Beatles." The record sold modestly, apparently well enough to consider releasing it in America.

Between 1962, when they made their first recordings, and 1970, when they disbanded, the Beatles drew upon several styles, including rock ‘n’ roll, to produce rock: today a term that almost defines today’s popular music. In 1963 their successes in England as live performers and recording artists inspired Beatlemania, which calls to mind the Lisztomania associated with the spectacular success of Franz Liszt’s 1842 German concert tour.

  • The Beatles and the Crisis of Self-Identity
    Sosland Journal 77 THE BEATLES AND THE CRISIS OF SELF-IDENTITY Jared Gutzmer “Ringo- a lovely performer. George- a mystical unre- alized talent. But John and Paul, Saints John and Paul, were, and made, and aureoled and beatifi ed and eternalized the concept that shall always be known, remembered and deeply loved as The Beatles” -Leonard Bernstein The Beatles are one of the most popular bands of all time. This is an undisputed fact no matter the location. They were so popular that in America, they had to stop touring due to the screaming fans which caused the band not to be able to hear themselves. Never before was there a group that was so incredibly popular in history. This popularity and other fac- tors led the members of the Beatles to change as individuals and as a group as they matured musically and mentally. Their identity shifted from a group identity to a self-identity. From the Beatles fi rst album, Please Please Me, to their last, Let It Be, the shift in their identity can be seen through their music and the appearances that led to individualism and eventually their downfall. 78 Sosland Journal The Music “It would not seem quite so likely that the accompany- ing fever known as Beatlemania will also be success- fully exported. On this side of the Atlantic it is dazed stuff.” -Jack Gould, New York Times television critic The Beatles music and lyrics changed drastically from their fi rst to last album due to adapting to a changing soci- ety, musical maturity, and their increased popularity.

  • THE FOUR PHASES of the BEATLES Mark Steffen
    THE FOUR PHASES OF THE BEATLES Mark Steffen (1) During the early Sixties, the four members of a • rock band called the Beatles took the field of pop music by storm and their Influence on music contlnes even today. But despite the Identity of name and members, the Beatles were not always the same group. The group went through four distinct phases--the early years, the pop stardom period, the muslcmakers phase, and the sololsts-­ character Jzed by changes In the audiences they drew, the sound they had, and their Image as a band. (2) In the early years (between 1959 and 1962), the Beatles were starting a career which was chal lenglng and uncertain. Entertaining the lower classes of Liverpool and the surrounding area with their crude versions of popular American songs at dilapidated dance halls and clubs, they were brash and vulgar. Their Image as obnoxious troublemakers was wel I earned. In one Instance, a club at which they played caught f Ire due to their antics on stage. They dressed as they pleased, paying no attention to fashion and normal modes of dress. This, coupled with their long hair, set them apart from other bands. Yet, In these early years, they Improved their musical talents and gained valuable experience as entertainers. After they obtained Brian Epstein as their manager, the band changed dramatically. (3) The next phase In the Beatles' history was pop stardom. They gained this status almost overnight after the release of their first two singles, "Love Me Do" and "Please, Please Me," their own compositions.

In 1972 Lennon called “It’s Only Love” “the one song I really hate of mine.” On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP The Beatles - Love Me Do – Please Please Me (McCartney-Lennon) Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles’ first single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.

Starting with the songs recorded for their debut album on February 11, 1963, Lennon and McCartney’s output was attached to their Northern Songs publishing company.

  • 'Octopus's Garden'
    ACCESS ALL AREAS... octopus’s garden APPEARS IN ROCK & POP 2018 Released: 1969 Album: Abbey Road Label: Inertia, Monkey Puzzle, RCA Records ABOUT THE SONG ‘Octopus’s Garden’ is one of two Beatles songs written by drummer Ringo Starr, and featured on I’D ASK MY FRIENDS TO COME AND SEE The Beatles’ 11th album, Abbey Road. Starr had the idea for the song while on holiday with his family in AN OCTOPUS’S GARDEN WITH ME Sardinia in 1968. After lunch on a boat, the captain told him a story about how octopuses pick up stones I’D LIKE TO BE UNDER THE SEA and objects from the sea bed to build gardens with. He wrote the song in Sardinia, and George Harrison “IN AN OCTOPUS’S GARDEN later helped with developing the chord changes. Starr said it was also inspired by his desire to hide from growing tension in the band: ‘at the time I just wanted to be under the sea, too.’ IN THE SHADE RECORDING AND PRODUCTION Recorded at EMI Studios (now known as Abbey Road Studios) in ‘OCTOPUS’S GARDEN’ IS RINGO’S April 1969, the backing track of ‘Octopus’s Garden’ took 32 takes before The Beatles were happy with it and Starr was able to record SONG.

  • The Development of the Beatles' Programmatic Music
    TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP VOLUME XXII APRIL 2020 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BEATLES’ PROGRAMMATIC MUSIC Author: Marisa Blackman Faculty Sponsor: David Venturo, Department of English ABSTRACT The 1960s, as well as being the time during which The Beatles existed as a band, was a time marked by rapid social change. Because of this, The Beatles also underwent rapid change at this time as each individual member branched off into their own section of ‘60s counterculture. George was interested in eastern influences, John (along with the rest of The Beatles) became involved with drugs, and Paul began listening to avant-garde music. These influences are all visible on their album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in their songs “Within You Without You,” “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,” and “A Day in the Life.” The styles of each of these songs radically differ from the others and radically differ from the beginning music of The Beatles from the early 60s. This marked difference elucidates the fact that The Beatles were in the midst of a transition. This transition had many components, but the most important is the change in their music. By the time of the release of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the sound of the Beatles is irreconcilable with the sound of their first album Please Please Me. Whereas their first album followed most conventional norms of rock ‘n’ roll, the later Beatles albums questioned and held little regard for the traditions of the genre. In the following paper I argue that the most relevant mean by which The Beatles challenged tradition was the way they changed the form, lyrics, and sound of rock ‘n’ roll.
