BWTB June 21St 2015 1 Playlist Fathers Day June 21st 2015 2 OPEN/9AM Today we will honor the FATHER…by playing only Beatles and solo Beatles songs pertaining to MEN, BOYS, Songs with Men’s names or titles such as King…or Mister…and of course songs about Dad’s and being a Father…and if we have time maybe some songs about SUMMER as this is June 21st the 1st day of SUMMER 2015…but let’s start with the MEN…or in this case…the boy. The Beatles - This Boy – Meet The Beatles US EP Four By The Beatles /Past Masters I flip of I Want To Hold You Hand in UK The Beatles – Mean Mr. Mustard - Abbey Road Recorded July 24th. Written in India as we heard on the White LP demos from Esher. When the band is playing it during the Let It Be sessions Pam was then a Shirley. Lennon 1.00 3 The Beatles - Baby, You’re A Rich Man - Non-LP track (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ fifteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. The Beatles were contractually obligated to deliver four new songs for inclusion in the “Yellow Submarine” animated film project. “Baby, You’re A Rich Man” was the first song 4 recorded especially for that project. Earlier in the year, George Harrison’s initial offering for the “Sgt. Pepper” album, “Only A Northern Song,” had been rejected for that album and was now being earmarked for use in the “Yellow Submarine” animated film. But with the rush-release of “All You Need Is Love” as a single following the “Our World” world television transmission on June 25, 1967, a B-side was needed. George Martin chose “Baby, You’re A Rich Man,” effectively removing it from consideration for the “Yellow Submarine” feature film. “Baby, You’re A Rich Man” was, in fact, two separate songs (John’s “One Of The Beautiful People” and Paul’s “Baby, You’re A Rich Man”) that the composers combined to make into one song. Recording took place at Olympic Studios on May 11, 1967, and the song was completed in 12 takes. It is the first Beatles song to be recorded and mixed for record outside of Abbey Road. Surprisingly, the “All You Need is Love”/“Baby, You’re A Rich Man” single is the first instance of George Martin being given credit on the record label as producer on a Parlophone Beatles single. Mick Jagger attended the session and may have participated in the backing vocals at the end of the song. Issued July 7, 1967 in the UK and July 17, 1967 in the U.S. On U.S. album: Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP The Beatles - Nowhere Man - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Under pressure to deliver new material while the “Rubber Soul” album was being recorded, John Lennon spent five hours one morning at home trying to come up with a new song. John: “I'd actually stopped trying to think of something. Nothing would come. I was cheesed off and went for a lie down, having given up. Then I thought of myself as Nowhere Man - sitting in his nowhere land.” Paul: “We were always forcing [the Abbey Road staff] into things they didn't want to do. ‘Nowhere Man’ was one. I remember we wanted very treble-y guitars, which they are, they're among the most treble-y guitars I've ever heard on record.” “Nowhere Man” was performed throughout The Beatles’ 1966 world tour. Issued as a single (b/w “What Goes On”) by Capitol Records in America. Recorded on October 22, 1965. On U.S. album: Yesterday and Today - Capitol LP Quick BREAK Today we will honor the FATHER…by playing only Beatles and solo Beatles songs pertaining to MEN, BOYS, in this case…it’s Teddy…… boy. 5 Paul McCartney – Teddy Boy – McCartney ‘70 Having debuted during the “Let it Be” sessions, it was re-recorded at home with Linda on backing vocals. The Beatles - Mr. Moonlight - Beatles For Sale (Johnson) Lead vocal: John The Beatles first attempted to record this obscure B-side from early 1962 by Dr. Feelgood and the Interns, before leaving on their 1964 North American Tour, but didn’t make much progress. The initial takes featured a George Harrison guitar solo. When the group returned from their tour they revisited the song on October 18, 1964, and laid down takes 5-8. At the October takes George’s guitar solo was replaced by Paul on Hammond organ. Percussion was provided by George Harrison thumping on an old African drum and Ringo playing what Paul described as a “horned-shaped sort of conga drum.” On U.S. album: Beatles ‘65 - Capitol LP Wings – Junior’s Farm Inspired by Dylan’s “Maggie’s Farm,” it is one of Paul’s best flat out rockers. It reached #16 in the UK charts, this was also the last apple release for Paul and Wings. Written about Claude “Curly” Putman, Jr. a father & Family man 6 Putman also spoke of the six-week period when, in 1974, Paul McCartney and his band, Wings (which included his wife, Linda McCartney), stayed at Putman’s family farm in Wilson County. The Beatles - Taxman - Revolver (Harrison) Lead vocal: George Completed in 11 takes on April 21, 1966. Written by George when he started realizing the majority of his money was going to the British government in the form of taxes. George went to John Lennon for some help with the lyrics, and Lennon was especially 7 pleased with his line “Now my advice for those who die: declare the pennies on your eyes.” Featuring a nice lead guitar solo by Paul on his Epiphone Casino. The ‘pennies’ lyrical reference derives from Greek mythology – it is the payment to Charon (the ferryman of the underworld) to ferry the deceased to their destination in the underworld. To pay the ferryman, the deceased person's relatives place a coin on each eye of the deceased. The Mr. Wilson and Mr. Heath mentioned in the song were real people. Harold Wilson was the Prime Minister Married 2 kids and Edward Heath not married was head of the opposition party at the time the song was recorded. It is the first time a George Harrison composition opens a British Beatles album. On U.S. album: Revolver - Capitol LP The Beatles - Bad Boy - A Collection Of Oldies (Williams) Lead vocal: John Recorded specifically for the American market at the urgent request of Capitol Records executives, who needed two songs to fill out their upcoming “Beatles VI” album. Of course, Capitol had four songs in its possession it could have included (“From Me To You,” “Misery,” “There’s A Place” and the German-language version of “She Loves You,” had all yet to appear on an LP in America), but they went to the Beatles and asked for something new ASAP. With no new material ready to go the band pulled two Larry Williams’ songs from their pre-fame club repertoire, “Bad Boy” and “Dizzy Miss Lizzy,” that could be recorded in one day and then the tapes would be air-freighted to Capitol Records in Los Angeles. “Bad Boy” would go unreleased in the UK for another year and a half until it turned up on the hits compilation “A Collection of Beatles Oldies” in December 1966. Recorded on May 10, 1965. On U.S. album: Beatles VI - Capitol LP On UK album: A Collection of Beatles Oldies - Parlophone LP (1966) QUIZ 800-955-KLOS When we come back I’m gonna play a Paul McCartney SOLO song was inspired by an expression he learned from his father …which song might that be? 800-955-KLOS 9.27 BREAK 8 Winner here ____________ A Father / son Beatles related set on this Father’s Day morning 2015 Paul McCartney – Put It There – Flowers In The Dirt From Father to his son John Lennon – Beautiful Boy – Double Fantasy From Father John to son Sean George ‘s son Dhani Harrison w/ Fistful of Mercy – My Fathers Son – I Call You Down 9 Ringo – Boys – All Stars Live 1995 featuring Ringo’s son Zak The Beatles – Hey Jude – Single `68 From Paul about John’s son’s Julian 9.56 BREAK It’s Fathers Day….and as we know…not many Beatles Fathers Day songs per say…but we’ll try to remain as male orientated as we can… The Beatles - Please Mister Postman – With The Beatles (Dobbins-Garrett-Brianbert) Lead vocal: John Beatlemania was not only a boon for record shops and merchants selling any number of licensed Beatles products (Beatle wigs, Beatles boots, paperback books, magazines, board games, buttons and other novelties), it also gave a significant financial boost to songwriters and music publishers of the non-original songs the group covered on its early albums. No label benefited more from their talent roster’s hit records being covered by The Beatles than Detroit-based Motown Records. Three of Motown’s hits were included on The Beatles’ second album: “Please Mr. Postman,” “You’ve Really Got 10 A Hold On Me,” and “Money (That’s What I Want).” “Please Mr. Postman” was the debut single by The Marvelettes, and the first single issued by a Motown label (in this case, Tamla) to hit number one on the Billboard pop charts. The songwriting credits for the song have changed throughout the years. The liner notes and record label for “With The Beatles” credits only “Holland” (Brian Holland) as the songwriter. The original Tamla and Fontana (UK) 45s list the writers as Dobbins-Garrett-Brianbert.

  • BWTB Nov. 13Th Dukes 2016
    1 Playlist Nov. 13th 2016 LIVE! From DUKES in Malibu 9AM / OPEN Three hours non stop uninterrupted Music from JPG&R…as we broadcast LIVE from DUKES in Malibu…. John Lennon – Steel and Glass - Walls And Bridges ‘74 Much like “How Do You Sleep” three years earlier, this is another blistering Lennon track that sets its sights on Allen Klein (who had contributed lyrics to “How Do You Sleep” those few years before). The Beatles - Revolution 1 - The Beatles 2 The first song recorded during the sessions for the “White Album.” At the time of its recording, this slower version was the only version of John Lennon’s “Revolution,” and it carried that titled without a “1” or a “9” in the title. Recording began on May 30, 1968, and 18 takes were recorded. On the final take, the first with a lead vocal, the song continued past the 4 1/2 minute mark and went onto an extended jam. It would end at 10:17 with John shouting to the others and to the control room “OK, I’ve had enough!” The final six minutes were pure chaos with discordant instrumental jamming, plenty of feedback, percussive clicks (which are heard in the song’s introduction as well), and John repeatedly screaming “alright” and moaning along with his girlfriend, Yoko Ono. Ono also spoke random streams of consciousness on the track such as “if you become naked.” This bizarre six-minute section was clipped off the version of what would become “Revolution 1” to form the basis of “Revolution 9.” Yoko’s “naked” line appears in the released version of “Revolution 9” at 7:53.

    1 PLAYLIST AUG. 5TH 2012 Special Guests WINGS Denny Seiwell – Denny Laine – Laurence Juber 1 2 9AM The Beatles - Rain - Non-LP B-side (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded on April 14 and 16, 1966. The track is notable for the backwards vocal from John Lennon at the end of the song. The section is John singing part of the first verse but the tape is superimposed backwards in the mix. The song contains slowed down instruments, guitar distortion, and vocals recorded and played back at variable speed. Aside from Paul McCartney’s dominant bass part, the song features a striking drum performance from Ringo, who has called “Rain” his favorite Beatles song. The B-side of “Paperback Writer.” Issued in America on May 23, 1966 and the UK on June 10, 1966, several months in advance of the “Revolver” album. On U.S. album: Hey Jude - Capitol LP (1970) 2 3 The Beatles - Paperback Writer - A Collection Of Beatles Oldies (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles’ twelfth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Recorded on April 13 and 14, 1966. The track is notable for Paul McCartney’s furious bass line. The bass is so prominent in the mix that sound engineers at EMI worried it could cause the stylus of a record player tone arm (the needle thing on record players) to jump when fans played the 45 RPM single at home. Thankfully, no such calamity occurred. For this heavy bass sound Paul’s chose to replace his usual Hofner bass with a Rickenbacker 4001S bass.

  • BWTB Revolver @ 50 2016
    1 PLAYLIST AUG. 7th 2016 Part 1 of our Revolver @ 50 Special~ We will dedicate to early versions of songs…plus the single that preceded the release of REVOLVER…Lets start with the first song recorded for the album it was called Mark 1 in April of 1966…good morning hipsters 2 9AM The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows – Revolver TK1 (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The first song recorded for what would become the “Revolver” album. John’s composition was unlike anything The Beatles or anyone else had ever recorded. Lennon’s vocal is buried under a wall of sound -- an assemblage of repeating tape loops and sound effects – placed on top of a dense one chord song with basic melody driven by Ringo's thunderous drum pattern. The lyrics were largely taken from “The Psychedelic Experience,” a 1964 book written by Harvard psychologists Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, which contained an adaptation of the ancient “Tibetan Book of the Dead.” Each Beatle worked at home on creating strange sounds to add to the mix. Then they were added at different speeds sometime backwards. Paul got “arranging” credit. He had discovered that by removing the erase head on his Grundig reel-to-reel tape machine, he could saturate a recording with sound. A bit of….The Beatles - For No One - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul 3 The Beatles - Here, There And Everywhere / TK’s 7 & 13 - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written by Paul while sitting by the pool of John’s estate, this classic ballad was inspired by The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows.” Completed in 14 takes spread over three sessions on June 14, 16 and 17, 1966.

There were just six of them - 'Yellow Submarine', 'Only A Northern Song', 'All Together Now', 'Hey Bulldog', 'It's All Too Much' and 'All You Need Is Love' - and only four of them were new. Side two was devoted entirely to George Martin's musical score for the movie. Thirty years later it was decided to restore the film, digitalising the soundtrack in the process, and the songtrack album is a result of that remastering. Released in 1999, it was the first collection of Beatles songs to get a digital remix, but more significantly it dispensed with the film score that had appeared on side two and included instead most of the other songs featured in the film that hadn't appeared on the earlier LP.

  • MTO 11.4: Spicer, Review of the Beatles As Musicians
    Volume 11, Number 4, October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory Mark Spicer Received October 2005 [1] As I thought about how best to begin this review, an article by David Fricke in the latest issue of Rolling Stone caught my attention.(1) Entitled “Beatles Maniacs,” the article tells the tale of the Fab Faux, a New York-based Beatles tribute group— founded in 1998 by Will Lee (longtime bassist for Paul Schaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman)—that has quickly risen to become “the most-accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business.” By painstakingly learning their respective parts note-by-note from the original studio recordings, the Fab Faux to date have mastered and performed live “160 of the 211 songs in the official canon.”(2) Lee likens his group’s approach to performing the Beatles to “the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart . as perfectly as we can.” As the Faux’s drummer Rich Pagano puts it, “[t]his is the greatest music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it.” [2] It’s been over thirty-five years since the real Fab Four called it quits, and the group is now down to two surviving members, yet somehow the Beatles remain as popular as ever. Hardly a month goes by, it seems, without something new and Beatle-related appearing in the mass media to remind us of just how important this group has been, and continues to be, in shaping our postmodern world. For example, as I write this, the current issue of TV Guide (August 14–20, 2005) is a “special tribute” issue commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles’ sold-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965—a concert which, as the magazine notes, marked the “dawning of a new era for rock music” where “[v]ast outdoor shows would become the superstar standard.”(3) The cover of my copy—one of four covers for this week’s issue, each featuring a different Beatle—boasts a photograph of Paul McCartney onstage at the Shea concert, his famous Höfner “violin” bass gripped in one hand as he waves to the crowd with the other.

  • 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.
