The Beatles - All These Years - Extended Special Edition: Volume One: Volume One: Tune in Pdf FREE THE BEATLES - ALL THESE YEARS - EXTENDED SPECIAL EDITION: VOLUME ONE: VOLUME ONE: TUNE IN PDF Mark Lewisohn | 1728 pages | 12 Dec 2013 | Little, Brown Book Group | 9781408704783 | English | London, United Kingdom The Beatles: All These Years – Volume 1 Tune In – Extended Special Edition - So…why did I wait so long to read this book? Well, it was you, dear readers. The guilt of not posting anything of real substance over the past several months finally made me take this book down from my bookshelf. I thought I could sit down and read the entire book in a weekend, but it The Beatles - All These Years - Extended Special Edition: Volume one: Volume One: Tune in to be just too much information coming at me all at once. Eegads folks…what kind of introverted, anti-social monster has he turned me into? So many details and yet so much more to learn, Lewisohn turns his readers into Fab Four junkies before hitting the halfway mark in this book. The Beatles are my sugar of choice and Mark Lewisohn is my candy man! One thing about the book that left me scratching my head, though, was that throughout, Lewisohn goes into great detail to describe pictures that were taken during the early stages of the Beatles career, yet these pictures are not contained within the book. Some of them are, but the majority is not. Hopefully, one of my readers can enlighten me on that fact. Also, the author really did his homework when it comes to the women that John, Paul, George, Pete and Ringo dated in their pre-fame days, mentioning so many of them by name and even providing details and quotes from them. Maybe all of my questions would be answered in the unedited edition. Never the less, this book is the bible for all Beatles fans and leaves me with one final question…why would anyone need to read another book about the Beatles after reading this one? And for that reason…. Filed under Beatles booksBook Review. Meticulously researched, well written, but an awful lot to take in. Hi David. I think it would be great to have all the questions out there. My bet is most of them can be answered by others, and the remainder will be a wonderfull conversation with Mark at Beatlesfest, blogs or podcasts. Do you dare? It would be great if Mark Lewisohn had a place where we could post questions that either he or others could answer. Mmmm, it would almost be impolite to put all the questions anybody has on the table to Mark. We have too many questions that can be The Beatles - All These Years - Extended Special Edition: Volume one: Volume One: Tune in with the author, the remainder are probably worthwhile. So why not put up a posting here with all the relevant questions and get Beatles-fans over here to discuss them. Maybe such a place already exists. I will tell Jennifer, however, that the photos she is looking for are not all in the extended version either, which puzzled me a bit as well. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Mark Lewisohn on The Beatles “All These Years” Extended Edition | superdeluxeedition Some authors choose a single figure and bore down deep, which has brought the count of Paul McCartney life stories to at least 10, with more in the pipeline. In the first of a projected three-volume work — pages of text that take the story up to The Beatles - All These Years - Extended Special Edition: Volume one: Volume One: Tune in end of — he retells this epic tale in a manner that, while ambitious, and at times even indulgent, also manages to be expertly controlled and propelling. Lewisohn has already pared back his original 1, pages — available as a deluxe two-volume special edition for superfans and unemployed cover- band guitarists. Those who never dreamed of pursuing the story further may reconsider, though. And what about the year-old with no interest in classic rock and a short attention span? Scorned by adult society as a force for evil and the work of the devil, black rhythm music out of America — and, before there, of course, out of Africa — was bringing harmony where once had been hatred. Aspinall, an early Liverpool road manager and later an Apple Records executive, passed on invaluable information and insights before his death in Among the other new material to which Lewisohn gained access are rare letters between Lennon and his hugely influential art school The Beatles - All These Years - Extended Special Edition: Volume one: Volume One: Tune in Stu Sutcliffe, between Lennon and his Aunt Mimi Stanley who raised him and letters from several Cavern fans these are particularly enjoyable and from former girlfriends. He also challenges some sacred strands of received wisdom. The two adults asked the confused little boy to choose — whom did he want to live with, his father or his mother? After first turning to Alfred, young John panicked and ran after his departing mother. In any case, the emotional truth of the episode may supersede the bare facts. If Lennon experienced the Blackpool confrontation as a dramatic moment in his life, what he believed happened surely carries more psychological weight than what may actually have taken place, or what Hall, a bystander in a back room, recollects. The producer George Martin has always related the story with his own self-serving bias, remembering that he took a chance on their sound. If nothing else, Lewisohn argues convincingly that Harrison brought Ringo Starr into the band as a replacement for Pete Best, and that Starr felt obligated to Harrison thereafter. Many, many other books will be written about the Beatles. Book Review Pre-Fab Four. Home Page World U. The Beatles: All These Years – Volume 1 – Tune In - Mark Lewisohn born 16 June is an English historian and biographer. Lewisohn has been writing about the Beatles since When he initially began researching the band, he "found that it was a deep and rewarding history that was, for the most part, not very well researched by anybody else, so I just found a career by becoming a Beatles expert, I suppose you would say. Writing books and consulting on TV series, and ended up working for them. It's ridiculous. One thing just led to the next. His book The Beatles Live! The book was in the form of a diary, listing chronologically every recording session the Beatles had at Abbey Road Studios. It included details such as who played The Beatles - All These Years - Extended Special Edition: Volume one: Volume One: Tune in each track and how many takes were recorded in each session. The book featured an introductory interview by Paul McCartney. The Beatles: 25 Years in the Life included information on what each individual member of the band was doing on any particular day between and This book was republished as The Beatles Day by Day in The Complete Beatles Chronicle was published in and went one step further, detailing the band's entire career in the studio, on stage, and on radio, television, film and video. This is essentially a guide book to all the Beatles-related locations in London, including Abbey Road and the London Palladiumfeaturing maps and photographs of the band at the locations mentioned. A revised version of the book was published in early This led to him being invited by the former Beatle to write the liner notes for several of his albums, namely Flaming PieBand on the Run: 25th Anniversary Edition and Wingspan: Hits and History. He was heavily involved in The Beatles Anthology project. According to Daniel Finkelsteinwriting in The Times inLewisohn was responsible for identifying comedian Jasper Carrott as the source in of the famous remark, " Ringo isn't the best drummer in the world. He isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles. InLewisohn announced that he had started work on a three-volume Beatles biography. The Beatles - All These Years - Extended Special Edition: Volume one: Volume One: Tune in Beatles story has been told very often but, in my view, rarely very well. I'm writing a wide-ranging history and my aim is true: to explore and comprehend what happened in and around the Beatles, and to write it even- handedly, without fear or favour, bias or agenda. A rock and roll group came out of Liverpool and shaped the last half of the 20th century the world over, and their music transcends changing times. The whole extraordinary story needs to be fully recorded and it needs to be done now, while first-hand witnesses are still with us. In autumn Lewisohn toured a one-man show, Hornsey Road, around theatres in England, also stopping at Dublin and Edinburgh.

Oxford University Press (forthcoming) <1>Introduction: The Beatles at Abbey Road as a New Paradigm It has been generally accepted that The Beatles and their team invented a new way of producing music at Abbey Road Studios. In the mid-1960s, they started to compose music and to experiment with multitrack tape recorders in the studio instead of recording songs that had been rehearsed beforehand. Some of their sound and maintenance engineers, such as Norman Smith, Geoff Emerick, Ken Scott, and Ken Townsend, developed a series of new techniques and devices, while their producer, George Martin, in his orchestrations, drew upon instruments and sounds that the band did not itself play.

Abstract Writing on The Beatles has multiplied and diversified to an astonishing extent over the past half century. The contribution of academics to this literature has until recently been modest in volume and impact. However, multidisciplinary scholarship is now producing new insights into such subjects as The Beatles’ reception and their creative and commercial collaborations. Far from there being ‘Nothing you can know that isn’t known’ about The Beatles, scholars have much to explain regarding the band’s value and meaning in the 1960s and beyond. Keywords: 1960s; The Beatles; historiography; popular music For almost as long as people have been writing about The Beatles, they have won- dered whether it was time to stop. Some commentators in the 1960s felt that devoting any attention to them served to inflate the subject out of all proportion.

    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.

  • The Beatles on Mofi
    The Beatles as released by Mobile Fidelity Intro Brad Miller was both a producer and a recording engineer. In 1977, Miller expanded his Mobile Fidelity operation to found Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, an organization dedicated to faithful sound reproduction. By slowing down the mastering process to "half-speed," by making use of a master tape as close to the original as possible, and by using high quality "virgin" vinyl made by the Japanese Victor Company, Mobile Fidelity set out to issue a series of Original Master Recordings in higher quality than commonly available to the general public. The first OMR album was issued in February, 1978. As the process gained popularity -- especially after the release of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon in 1979 -- it was inevitable that Beatles records would be issued through Mobile Fidelity. The first Beatles record to be issued by MFSL was Abbey Road, catalog number 1-023. This choice was not surprising, since that album made use of the most modern recording equipment available to the Beatles. Released in late December, 1979, Abbey Road quickly sold out its original pressing. Although information was circulated that MoFi only pressed 20,000 of each album, this was untrue; in fact, MFSL's own literature only indicates that they would press no more than 200,000 of any album. Repressings were done, depending on the popularity of a given album. Quite a few copies of Abbey Road are out there, proving that it was quite popular for MFSL. Gregg Schnitzer of MFSL says that about 50,000 copies each were pressed of the (first few) Beatles records on MoFi.

  • MTO 6.2: Heinonen, Review of Everett
    Volume 6, Number 2, May 2000 Copyright © 2000 Society for Music Theory Yrjo Heinonen KEYWORDS: Everett, Beatles, songwriting, recording, analysis ABSTRACT: The Beatles as Musicians offers an historical survey of the second part of the Beatles’ career. It includes analyses of every song that members of the Beatles wrote and released during 1966–70, as well as a brief review of the Beatles Anthology releases of 1995–96. Each song is discussed in terms of songwriting, recording, and musical expression. Though some of the musical analyses may likely be too demanding for readers without, or with only a little, training in music theory, the book will nevertheless be fascinating for anyone interested in the Beatles. The book’s focus is clearly on music, but it also offers much to readers more interested in the cultural life of the 1960s. This is a splendid book and surely a milestone in Beatles research. [1.1] Walter Everett has published numerous articles on the music of the Beatles. He has approached the topic from the point of view of voice leading and has developed a method of applying voice-leading analysis to answer questions about the expressive content of individual works or songs. The culmination of that program of research is The Beatles as Musicians, which, when completed, will be a two-volume compendium covering the Beatles’ entire career. The second of these volumes, Revolver Through the Anthology, has appeared first and forms the subject of this review. I consider Everett’s book to be well researched and thought provoking. Despite of some critical comments presented below, I generally agree with his point of view.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE LYRICS OF THE BEATLES AS A SOCIAL FUNCTION WITHIN THE POPULAR CULTURE by LESLIE THORNTON KING Under the Direction of Ashley J. Holmes, PhD ABSTRACT This thesis analyzes the rhetorical ascendance achieved by the musical group, The Beatles, during a career that propelled them from largely musical performers/entertainers to consummate and fully-fledged artists. This thesis examines two time periods in the group’s career, and then explores the elements that affected the performer-to-artist transition, focusing exclusively on the rhetoric, not the meaning of the song lyrics. A cornerstone of the research was an analytic comparison of parts of speech.
