BWTB Easter 2016 1 BREAKFAST W/ THE BEATLES PLAYLIST EASTER 2016 Paul McCartney – Heaven On A Sunday – Flaming Pie ‘97 Written in August 1996 while in the US, it featured Linda and son, James McCartney who contributed the lead guitar. George Harrison – My Sweet Lord - All Things Must Pass ‘70 This was the major smash hit of the album by Christmas 1970. It was originally intended for the Edwin Hawkins Singers (who had record, “Oh Happy Day,” which greatly influenced “My Sweet Lord.” George had also let Billy Preston release his own version before George’s – but it was George’s version that was the huge hit and remains the biggest single song success of his entire solo career. Ringo – Oh My Lord – Choose Love John Lennon – Bless You - Walls And Bridges ‘74 This track was an ode to Yoko during the “Lost Weekend” phase. It is considered one of John’s most tender solo compositions. 2 Some religious thoughts from solo artists JPG&R…in this reverent time of year 9.22 BREAK The Beatles - I Am The Walrus - Magical Mystery Tour Recorded 5th September 1967 flip of “Hello Goodbye“ John said the first line came from an acid trip one weekend; the second line came from an acid trip the following weekend.

Paul added lead vocal and included a reggae-style coda. Winner HERE________ (re-ask quiz question) 9.55 BREAK It’s now time for a little LOVE on this Easter morning 2016 The Beatles - The Word - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded in three takes at a late night session starting on November 10, 1965 that ran until 4 a.m. the next morning. Overdubs include Paul on piano, George Martin on harmonium, and Ringo playing the maracas. The song is a full collaboration between Lennon and McCartney, and began as an attempt to write a song based around a single note. On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP George on LOVE The Beatles - All You Need Is Love - Non-LP track (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ fifteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Written by John Lennon especially for the first-ever worldwide television transmission. The epic event, a 6-hour program entitled “Our World,” featured segments linking 24 countries in five continents via satellite, with a potential of 400 million viewers. The 5 Beatles were honored to be invited to represent Great Britain in the program. For the event, they would premiere a brand new song written just for the occasion. John Lennon’s “All You Need Is Love” became the anthem of 1967, the summer of love. To decrease the chances of an on-air foul-up, George Martin had the Beatles play to their own pre-recorded rhythm track. Only the vocals, bass guitar, lead guitar solo in the middle eight, drums and orchestra would be live. Recording began on June 14, 1967 at Olympic Studios. In all, 33 takes of the basic rhythm track and a few vocals were completed this evening. Overdubbing the lead and backing vocals took place on June 19. The orchestra was recorded for the first time on June 23. On June 24, the day before the event, it was decided that “All You Need Is Love” would be issued as the new Beatles single as soon as possible after the program aired the evening of June 25. Guests in the studio during the performance included the Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the Who’s Keith Moon, Eric Clapton, Marianne Faithfull, Donovan wore colorful mod clothing. The 13 orchestra members wore formal evening attire. After the guests left the studio, additional overdubs were made to what was now take 58. Ringo added the now-familiar snare drum roll to the song’s introduction and John re- recorded part of his vocal. Chris Farley on LOVE George Harrison – The Lord Loves The One (That Loves The Lord) - Living In The Material World ‘73 A lengthy-titled composition has a promising introduction, but fails to live up to George’s standards. It was also played live (for one night only) in 1974 and was sent packing with “Who Can See It.” The Beatles – Love Of The Loved – Decca aud/ Jan. 1st 1962 Some words of love from JPG&R..and here are a few more words of love this time by Buddy Holly courtesy of GH and Beatles BREAK The Beatles - Words Of Love - Beatles For Sale (Holly) Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles idolized Buddy Holly and performed his songs regularly as part of their club act. So it is a little surprising that “Words of Love” is the only Buddy Holly song the band officially recorded. John and Paul took extra care to make sure their harmonies were perfect, likewise George, in reverence to the material, double-tracked his careful guitar 6 work. This recording was special to the Beatles, and it shows. Recorded on October 18, 1964 in three takes. On U.S. album: Beatles VI - Capitol LP BREAK Alan Sherman – Pop Hates The Beatles - `64 FOR SWINGIN' LIVERS ONLY One track from My Son, The Nut, a spoof of summer camp entitled "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh," Hi Riders – Stamp Out The Beatles – Single `64 BREAK QUIZ #2 Hints John Lennon 1977 Jeff Lynne Sussesx, England What song released by the Beatles would those hints refer to? 800-955-KLOS Good luck! 7 10.26 BREAK The Beatles – Free As A Bird – Anthology I John piano demo recorded New York circa 1977. Paul, George and Ringo took enhanced the song starting on February 11th 1994 to the end of the month. These sessions take place at Paul's Mill studios in Sussex The Beatles – Blackbird - The Beatles Recorded June 11th 1968 Paul’s civil rights song. All Paul. McCartney 1.00 The Beatles - And Your Bird Can Sing - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John John Lennon called this fan favorite “another of my throwaways...fancy paper around an empty box.” On another occasion he simply referred to it as “another horror.” The song, written primarily by John, is notable mainly for the twin guitar riffs -- played live without overdubs by George Harrison and Paul McCartney -- 8 that drive the song, and Paul’s distinctive bass notes at the end of the song. Lennon played the rhythm guitar in the D major position with the capo on the second fret to account for the song being in the key of E. John used the second fret capo several times ("Nowhere Man," "Julia," "Norwegian Wood," to name a few). Initial recording of the song commenced on April 20, 1966, with two takes being completed. Take 2 was deemed the best and various overdubs were added. While recording vocals John and Paul got a case of the giggles and laughed their way through much of the song. That hilarious version can be found on the “Anthology 2” compilation. On April 26, the band decided to scrap the previous version and start over from scratch, recording 11 takes. On U.S. album: Yesterday And Today - Capitol LP LOUD The Beatles - Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Originally recorded on October 12, 1965, The Beatles decided to scrap this version and re-record the song nine days later, on October 21. George Harrison provides the sitar, the first appearance of the instrument on a Beatles recording, though the sitar can be heard in the instrumental introduction on the American version of “Help!” Written mainly by John with some lyrical assistance from Paul. John: “I was trying to write about an affair without letting me wife know… so it was very gobbledegook. I was sort of writing from my experiences, girls’ flats.” Paul has said that the ending lyrics, “so I lit a fire,” refer to the house being burned down in an act of revenge by the spurned lover. Bob Dylan did a slight parody of the song on his 1966 album, Blonde on Blonde. Check out the song “4th Time Around.” On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP 9 BREAK Without birds…no Easter Eggs for the kids…. The Beatles - Let It Be - album version - Let It Be Naked (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul “Let It Be” was the last song properly recorded on multi-track at Apple Studios during the “Get Back” sessions in January 1969.

  • Jon Lord June 9 1941 – July 16 2012
    Jon Lord June 9 1941 – July 16 2012 Founder member of Deep Purple, Jon Lord was born in Leicester. He began playing piano aged 6, studying classical music until leaving school at 17 to become a Solicitor’s clerk. Initially leaning towards the theatre, Jon moved to London in 1960 and trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama, winning a scholarship, and paying for food and lodgings by performing in pubs. In 1963 he broke away from the school with a group of teachers and other students to form the pioneering London Drama Centre. A year later, Jon “found himself“ in an R and B band called The Artwoods (fronted by Ronnie Wood’s brother, Art) where he remained until the summer of 1967. During this period, Jon became a much sought after session musician recording with the likes of Elton John, John Mayall, David Bowie, Jeff Beck and The Kinks (eg 'You Really Got Me'). In December 1967, Jon met guitarist Richie Blackmore and by early 1968 the pair had formed Deep Purple. The band would pioneer hard rock and go on to sell more than 100 million albums, play live to more than 10 million people, and were recognized in 1972 by The Guinness Book of World Records as “the loudest group in the world”. Deep Purple’s debut LP “Shades of Deep Purple” (1968) generated the American Top 5 smash hit “Hush”. In 1969, singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover joined and the band’s sound became heaver and more aggressive on “Deep Purple in Rock” (1970), where Jon developed a groundbreaking new way of amplifying the sound of the Hammond organ to match the distinctive sound of the electric guitar.

  • Trade Marks Inter Partes Decision O/047/20
    O-047-20 TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF: AN APPLICATION (No. 502044) BY GARY BROOKER TO INVALIDATE TRADE MARK No. 1422867: PROCOL HARUM WHICH STANDS IN THE NAME OF KEITH REID Background and pleadings 1. The protagonists to this dispute are the founding members of the music group PROCOL HARUM. They both contributed to the writing1 of the group’s biggest hit and most well-known song, A Whiter Shade of Pale, released in 1967. 2. On 27 April 1990, Mr Reid filed for the trade mark PROCOL HARUM in his sole name. It is registered for “Entertainer services; all included in Class 41”. 3. In his claim to invalidate the registration, Mr Brooker relies on the following grounds: • Section 3(6) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 (“the 1994 Act”), because the filing of the mark by Mr Reid in his sole name constituted an act of bad faith. • Section 5(4)(a) of the 1994 Act, because the use of the mark by Mr Reid is capable of restraint under the common-law tort of passing-off. 4. When the trade mark was filed, the relevant law was contained in the Trade Marks Act 1938. However, as the mark was registered2 before the commencement of the 1994 Act, and in accordance with paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 3 of the 1994 Act, it was transferred to the new register and has effect as if it had been registered under the 1994 Act. Paragraph 18(2) of that schedule also makes clear that the provisions of section 47 of the 1994 Act (grounds for invalidity) apply in equal measure3 to existing registered [under the old law] marks, as it does to marks registered under the 1994 Act: 1 Notwithstanding the outcome of a copyright dispute in which the Supreme Court held that the group’s organist, Matthew Fisher, also made a contribution to the music, the organ part of the song.

The unusual proximity of release dates by the world’s two most significant rock bands was echoed by the congruity of the songs’ themes: the Stones’ “Street Fighting Man” and the Beatles’ “Revolution” were both responses to the political unrest and protest which characterised the spring and summer of 1968.

  • PROCOL HARUM 2014 BIOGRAPHY Procol Harum Are Still Going Strong
    PROCOL HARUM 2014 BIOGRAPHY Procol Harum are still going strong. March 2014 sees a new double CD, Inside/Outside, celebrating over forty years of studio and live recordings. In addition the spring will see a new download-only release, Some Long Road, featuring tracks from the band’s 2012 US tour. Alongside this Procol continue to tour many parts of the world, and are considering options on three continents at the moment. You could not be blamed for thinking that, with the monumental success of Procol's first smash hit, the band just stopped there, like so many others. Even the recently-awarded accolade of ‘most- played single of the past seventy-five years’ has not quelled their need to go forward: hence 2014’s new live album. In the past couple of years they have released ten re-mastered CD albums, plus the 2CD anthology Secrets of the Hive (all generally available in Europe, and sourceable on import); their DVDs In Concert with the Danish National Concert Orchestra and Live at Union Chapel have been widely acclaimed. There’s also a special 4-disc CD/DVD box-set compendium – aptly entitled All this and More – featuring 68 of the band’s many unique compositions: this prompted Classic Rock magazine to observe, ‘it’s small wonder The Who’s Tommy and Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody can be traced to Procol’s influence’. It could be termed a plethora of Procol. The quality of writing and performance has remained Procol Harum’s gold standard through the gradually-mutating line-ups: each participating musician has kept the ideas flowing and prevented Procol from resting on their laurels.
