  • Abbey Road Album Photo (Video)
    Crowds Gather To Mark 50th Anniversary Of The Beatles’ Abbey Road Album Photo (Video) Hundreds of people gathered at the world’s most famous zebra crossing on Thursday to mark the 50th anniversary of the day the Beatles created one of the best-known album covers in music history and an image imitated by countless fans ever since. [Here is a LIVE webcam of Abby Road] The picture of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr striding over the pedestrian crossing on Abbey Road was taken outside the EMI Recording Studios where they made the 1969 album of the same name. To mark the anniversary, a special ‘Abbey Road’ package featuring new mixes of the album’s 17 tracks in stereo and 23 session recordings and demos, will be released on Sept. 27 by Apple Corps/Capitol/UMe, the record companies said on Thursday. Scottish photographer Iain Macmillan took just six shots of the group on the crossing, with the fifth used as the cover of the band’s 11th studio album, released on Sept. 26 1969. The picture shows Lennon in a white suit leading the group across the road. Starr wears a black suit while McCartney is barefoot, out of step and holding a cigarette. Harrison is in blue denim. A Volkswagen Beetle is parked in the background. On Thursday, the Beetle was back in position while traffic crawled along the crowded street as dozens of fans paraded on the black and white painted crossing for souvenir photos. Beatles insider and former Apple Records executive Tony Bramwell said nobody at the time was really aware that ‘Abbey Road’ would be one of the group’s last releases.

  • 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.

    Case Study “Beatles Songs” – What can be Learned from Unreliable Music Alignments? Sebastian Ewert1, Meinard M¨uller2, Daniel M¨ullensiefen3, Michael Clausen1, Geraint Wiggins3 1 Universit¨atBonn, Institut f¨ur Informatik III R¨omerstr. 164, 53117 Bonn, Germany [email protected], [email protected] 2 Saarland University and MPI Informatik Campus E1-4, 66123 Saarbr¨ucken, Germany [email protected] 3 Goldsmiths, University of London, Centre for Cognition, Computation and Culture Lewisham Way, New Cross London SE14 6NW, England, UK [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. As a result of massive digitization efforts and the world wide web, there is an exploding amount of available digital data describing and representing music at various semantic levels and in diverse formats. For example, in the case of the Beatles songs, there are numerous recordings including an increasing number of cover songs and arrangements as well as MIDI data and other symbolic music representations. The general goal of music synchronization is to align the multiple information sources related to a given piece of music. This becomes a difficult problem when the various representations reveal significant differences in structure and polyphony, while exhibiting various types of artifacts. In this paper, we address the issue of how music synchronization techniques are useful for automatically revealing critical passages with significant difference between the two versions to be aligned. Using the corpus of the Beatles songs as test bed, we analyze the kind of differences occurring in audio and MIDI versions available for the songs. Keywords.

STRATEGIC INTERTEXTUALITY IN THREE OF JOHN LENNON’S LATE BEATLES SONGS* MARK SPICER his article will focus on an aspect of the Beatles’ compositional practice that I believe T merits further attention, one that helps to define their late style (that is, from the ground- breaking album Revolver [1966] onwards) and which has had a profound influence on all subsequent composers of popular music: namely, their method of drawing on the resources of pre-existing music (or lyrics, or both) when writing and recording new songs.

    1 PLAYLIST JANUARY 19TH 2014 BROADCAST LIVE FROM THE KOBE STEAKHOUSE SEAL BEACH, CA 1 2 9AM The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour - Magical Mystery Tour (EP) (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: Paul and John When Paul McCartney was in the U.S. in early April 1967 he came up with the idea for a Beatles television film about a mystery tour on a bus. During the April 11 flight back home he began writing lyrics for the title song and sketching out some ideas for the film. Upon his arrival in London, Paul pitched his idea to Brian Epstein who happily approved. Paul then met with John to go over the details and the two began work on the film’s title track. The title track was written primarily by Paul but was not finished when McCartney brought the song in to be recorded on April 25, 1967. John helped with 2 3 the missing pieces during the session. The Beatles - The Fool On The Hill - Magical Mystery Tour (EP) (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Sitting alone at the piano, Paul McCartney recorded a mono two-track demo of “The Fool On the Hill” on September 6, 1967. A more proper recording would take place September 25. On the 25th three takes of the basic rhythm track were recorded, including harmonicas played by John and George. Paul first brought the song to John’s attention in mid-March while the two were working on the lyrics for “With A Little Help From My Friends.” John said to write down the lyrics so he wouldn’t forget them.

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.
