  • US Apple LP Releases
    Apple by the Numbers U.S. album releases From the collection of Andre Gardner of NY, NY SWBO‐101 The Beatles The Beatles Released: 22 Nov. 1968 (nicknamed "The White Album") In stark contrast to the cover to Sgt. Pepper's LHCB, the cover to this two record set was plain white, with writing only on the spine and in the upper right hand corner of the back cover (indicating that the album was in stereo). This was the first Beatles US album release which was not available in mono. The mono mix, available in the UK, Australia, and several other countries, sounds quite different from the stereo mix. The album title was embossed on the front cover. Inserts included a poster and four glossy pictures (one of each Beatle). The pictures were smaller in size than those issued with the UK album. A tissue paper separator was placed between the pictures and the record. Finally, as in every EMI country, the albums were numbered. In the USA, approximately 3,200,000 copies of the album were numbered. These albums were numbered at the different Capitol factories, and there are differences in the precise nature of the stamping used on the covers. Allegedly, twelve copies with east‐coast covers were made that number "A 0000001".

  • 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.

  • Assessing the Future Ip Landscape of Music’S Cash Cow: What Happens When the Live Concert Goes Virtual
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYU\91-2\NYU205.txt unknown Seq: 1 11-MAY-16 12:42 ASSESSING THE FUTURE IP LANDSCAPE OF MUSIC’S CASH COW: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE LIVE CONCERT GOES VIRTUAL CHARLES H. LOW* If piracy has been the bane of the music industry, and live performances are a financial buoy, what happens when live performances are ported to a virtual medium that all of a sudden may be subject to piracy again? This Note examines the various intellectual property frameworks through which one can look at the protectable elements of a live show or concert and what happens to the pro- tectability of those elements once the show is ported to virtual reality. Given that technology to date has had a much larger impact on recorded music than on live performances, the introduction of virtual reality technology has serious disruptive potential. This Note argues that one can use existing intellectual property law to weave a complex web of protected elements around less traditional targets of IP like stage, set, and lighting design, background visuals, live performers, and props. This web of intellectual property protection will encourage strong contracting and yield more avenues for resisting piracy in the virtual reality world.

  • 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.

    2008 Erik Axel Karlfeldt Memorial Open Round 10 1. A 2003 album by Portastatic whose first track was “Oh Come Down” had a title which referred to the “summer” of one of these.
