KLOS June 30Th 2013 PLAYLIST JUNE 30th 2013 Special guest Pattie Boyd! 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 the missing pieces during the session. On U.S. album: Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Recording began on February 1, 1967 for what would become the title track of the new Beatles album. The song was written entirely by Paul McCartney. It was McCartney’s idea to give the Beatles alter egos -- they would become Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band -- for this album. Nine takes were attempted, two of which were complete run-throughs. For the first time ever an instrument (Paul’s bass guitar) was directly injected into the recording console instead of through an amplifier. Vocals were added the following evening, and the track sat for a month while the band worked on other material. The group returned to the title track on March 3 with the addition of four French horns played by outside musicians. Paul also came up with the idea of simulating a concert performance by the alter-ego band. The sound of the band warming up was taken from the February 10 orchestra session for “A Day In The Life.” Other effects (the crowd settling down, applause, and laughter) were taken from the vast Abbey Road tape archives. The screaming at the end of the song was taken from the Capitol- recorded Beatles concert at the Hollywood Bowl. On the “Sgt. Pepper” album the end of the title track segues into Ringo’s “With A Little help From My Friends.” The Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Ringo The first instance on a Beatles album where one song segues into another without the usual few seconds of silence between the tracks. This was to give the listener the feeling of a continuous concert performance. Written on the afternoon of March 29, 1967 by Paul with help from John at Paul’s house on Cavendish Avenue in St. John’s Wood specifically as a song for Ringo Starr to sing on the new album. It was recorded that evening. Although he liked the song, Ringo refused to sing the original lyrics to the opening verse. Ringo: “The original first verse to that was ‘What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you throw a tomato at me?’ And I said, ‘I’m not singing that.’” John and Paul quickly changed the line to “Would you stand up and walk out on me?” The rhythm track was recorded in ten takes the same day Paul and John write the song, with Paul on piano, George on Hammond organ, John on guitar and Ringo on drums. Vocals were added as Take 11. Originally titled “Bad Finger Boogie.” The screaming at the beginning of the song was taken from the Capitol-recorded Beatles concert at the Hollywood Bowl. On the “Sgt. Pepper” album the end of the title track segues into “With A Little help From My Friends.” The Beatles - A Hard Day’s Night - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John with Paul The Beatles’ seventh single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. The title is a Ringoism, coined by the drummer sometime in 1963 and used by John in his book “In His Own Write.” With the film nearly completed the last bit of business was to give the film a name. The project was being filmed with the working title “Beatlemania.” On April 13, 1964 The Beatles met with key personnel from the studio and bounced title ideas. It was felt they’d find no better suggestion than Ringo’s off- hand remark “it’s been a hard day’s night” and John volunteered to write the title song that evening. The next morning he brought the song in and taught it to Paul. Paul cleaned up the middle section and the two played it for producer Walter Shenson. Two days later The Beatles would formally record the song. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP 9.12 BREAK Now back to music…. The Beatles - I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party - Beatles For Sale (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John and Paul Written primarily by John, who called it one of his favorites. Recorded in 19 takes (only five of which were complete run-throughs) on September 29, 1964. The B-side of the “Eight Days A Week” single in the U.S., issued February 15, 1965. On U.S. album: Beatles VI - Capitol LP The Beatles - Wait - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: John and Paul Recorded June 17, 1965 during the “Help!” sessions, the song was left unfinished when The Beatles had hit the deadline to submit the album. Five months later, as the deadline to submit “Rubber Soul” was upon them, they grabbed the unfinished song, threw on some overdubs and decreed it finished. Specifically, they added a tone pedal guitar, tambourine, maracas, and more vocals on November 11, 1965, the final day of recording for “Rubber Soul.” On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP The Beatles - I’ve Just Seen A Face - Help! (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written by Paul at the Asher family home on Wimpole Street. Paul had the tune prior to coming up with the lyrics and originally named the song “Auntie Gin’s Theme” because his aunt liked it. George Martin’s instrumental “Help!” album includes an orchestrated version of “I’ve Just Seen A Face” using the title “Auntie Gin’s Theme.” Recorded in six takes at the same June 14, 1965 McCartney-dominated session that produced “Yesterday” and “I’m Down.” One of only five Beatles songs Paul chose to perform live on his Wings Over America tour in 1976. On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP John Lennon – I Know (I Know) - Mind Games ‘73 A simple and brilliant little tune that reflected the ongoing problems between johnandyoko. The Beatles - Cry Baby Cry - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Work began in the studio on John’s “Cry Baby Cry” on July 15, 1968, with the Beatles filling four 30-minute tapes with unnumbered rehearsal takes of the song. It is estimated that the band played the song approximately 30 times. Proper recording took place on July 16. Ten takes of the basic track, consisting of John’s vocal plus bass, organ, drums, and acoustic guitar, were recorded. George Martin playing the harmonium and John playing piano would be overdubbed onto the best take. During the July 16 session tensions amongst the band members flared and sound engineer Geoff Emerick quit. He would be coaxed back the next year to work at their new Apple studios and at Abbey Road Studios for the “Abbey Road” album. Emerick says he lost interest in the “White Album” because the group was arguing amongst themselves and swearing at each other. Emerick said, “the expletives were really flying.” End of Ram On – RAM Paul McCartney – Great Day – Flaming Pie ‘97 This was previously heard as an instrumental in the 1974 Backyard film. The song was originally was written in the early 1970’s, and provided a great finish to a fantastic album in “Flaming Pie.” The Beatles - Don’t Let Me Down - Non-LP B-Side (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John with Paul The Beatles’ nineteenth single release for EMI, and second on the Apple Records label. The “Get Back” sessions, as the January 1969 recording sessions were now known, produced about 475 hours of film and 141 hours of audio tape that had to be sifted through. But proper multi-track recordings weren’t made until the band was recording in the basement of the Beatles’ Apple headquarters between January 21-31, 1969. Producer/Engineer Glyn Johns attempted to construct an album entitled “Get Back” from the tapes but his versions were rejected. The tapes would be left dormant in the vault for a year, with the exception of a single (“Get Back”/“Don’t Let Me Down”). John Lennon’s “Don’t Let Me Down” was a love song for Yoko Ono and was the first song given a full run-through by the group when sessions for the new album began at Twickenham Studios on January 2, 1969. But proper multi-track recording takes were not done until the band changed location to the basement recording studio at their Apple headquarters. The master take was recorded on January 28, 1969. Like Paul McCartney’s “Get Back,” the song features Billy Preston on keyboards. Rush-released as a single with the hope of being in stores in the UK on April 11, 1969, the single showed up a week later.

  • Beatles History – Part Three: 1970-2008
    BEATLES HISTORY – PART THREE: 1970-2008 The Solo Careers In September 1969, John Lennon told his musical partners at a business meeting that he was leaving The Beatles. It was decided that the split was to be kept secret until the group had secured a profitable new contract with EMI Records. In early 1970, The Beatles’ staff prepared the release of Let It Be, which had been recorded in January 1969. As George Martin had lost interest in the production, American producer Phil Spector was asked to turn The Beatles’ rough recordings into a valuable album. Spec- tor’s involvement, however, caused further friction between the band members, because Paul McCartney felt that Spector was ruining his song “The Long and Winding Road” with a lavish arrangement featuring an orchestra and a choir. In addition, the release of Let It Be collided with the release date of Paul McCartney’s first solo album, McCartney, which was scheduled for 10 April, 1970. The conflicts within the band finally reached their climax when the other Beatles ignored McCartney’s wish of removing Spector’s orchestral arrangement from the recording of his song. Consequently, Paul McCartney decided to inform the public that The Beatles had disbanded. The promotional copies of McCartney’s first album contained an interview, in which he stated that he did not want to work with The Beatles anymore, because of personal and musical dis- agreements. The release date of McCartney is therefore regarded as the date The Beatles broke up, although they legally existed as a band until 1976, when their contracts finally expired.

  • Apple Label Discography
    Apple Label Discography 100-800 series (Capitol numbering series) Apple Records was formed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr in 1968. The Apple label was intended as a vehicle for the Beatles, their individual recordings and the talent they discovered. A great deal of what appeared on Apple was pretty self indulgent and experimental but they did discover a few good singers and groups. James Taylor recorded his first album on the label. Doris Troy recorded a good soul album and there are 2 albums by John Lewis and the Modern Jazz Quartet. The Beatlesque group Badfinger also issued several albums on the label, the best of which was “Straight Up”. Apple Records fell apart in management chaos in 1974 and 1975 and a bitter split between the Beatles over the management of the company. Once the lawyers got involved everybody was suing everybody else over the collapse. The parody of the Beatles rise and the disintegration of Apple is captured hilariously in the satire “All You Need Is Cash: the story of the Rutles”. The Apple label on side 1 is black with a picture of a green apple on it, black printing. The label on side 2 is a picture of ½ an apple. From November 1968 until early 1970 at the bottom of the label was “MFD. BY CAPITOL RECORDS, INC. A SUBSIDIARY OF CAPITOL INDUSTRIES INC. USA”. From Early 1970 to late 1974, at the bottom of the label is “MFD. BY APPLE RECORDS” From late 1974 through 1975, there was a notation under the “MFD.

  • Beatles Cassette Tape-Ography
    A History of Beatles Cassettes Winner of the Tape War Last Modified 09 De 2012 The technology for the cassette (or compact cassette) is based on the simplest premise: make the reel to reel tape smaller. The Philips company is chiefly responsible for the cassette tape, meant as competition with the other formats. Philips developed several types of Dictaphone (voice) tapes before coming up with the “winner” in 1962. In July-August, 1963, Philips officially launched the “compact cassette” at the Berlin Radio Show (Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin). Immediately, the voice tape recorders began to be sold in Germany and in Holland. By November, 1964, Philips was marketing the first recorders – the EL-3300 – to US customers through Norelco. The four-track and eight-track cartridges had been directed at music to be played in automobiles, replacing the nasty "singles player" and reel-tape player. However, the cassette at first was deemed unsuitable for music, due to its slow speed of 1 7/8 inches per second. No reel to reel tapes featuring music were issued at 1 7/8 ips, and the cassette had a smaller bandwidth. But it came into use for voice recording. The microcassettes still used today for dictation were once a leading purpose of the cassette tape. In 1965, Philips introduced mono music cassettes in Holland, Austria, and Switzerland. As the sixties progressed, strides were made to make the cassette “more listenable,” and in Fall, 1966, the first stereo music cassettes became available in Great Britain. This followed a big push at the Chicago Music Show in July, 1966.

    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.

    Come Together: Fifty Years of Abbey Road An academic conference hosted by the University of Rochester Institute for Popular Music and The Eastman School of Music September 27-29, 2019 Rochester, New York Schedule and Abstracts 2 Come Together: Fifty Years of Abbey Road An academic conference hosted by the University of Rochester Institute for Popular Music and the Eastman School of Music Abstracts Friday, September 27 9:00-10:30 Session 1 (Hatch Recital Hall), Chair: Katie Kapurch (Texas State University) Walter Everett (University of Michigan) “The Mellow Depth of Melody in Abbey Road” This talk is in response to a request from Mark Lewisohn this past summer for a comment on the abundance of melody in Abbey Road. I soon recognized this as a very useful approach to the album, which overflows with songs that relate to each other in both parallel and contrasting ways, particularly in terms of melodic content. Not only do featured lead vocal lines possess their own mature beauty, but both vocal and instrumental countermelodies—a crucial trait of middle-period Beatles—hold striking significance. I plan to discuss: how ornamentation varies repetitions, the ways in which a song's formal structure impacts melodic growth, the role of rhythm in uniting melodic motives across the LP, and the tunes within tunes in considering structural aspects of melody. Kenneth Womack (Monmouth University) “The Long One: Producing Abbey Road with George Martin and the Beatles” This paper traces the genesis of the Long One, the symphonic suite that closes Abbey Road— and, in many ways, the Beatles’ career.
