Beatles FAN TV Presents BEATLES The Beatles were an iconic rock group from Liverpool, England. They are frequently cited as the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed band in modern history, with innovative music, a cultural impact that helped define the 1960s and an enormous influence on music that is still felt today. Currently, The Beatles are one of the two musical acts to sell more than 1 billion records, with only Elvis Presley having been able to achieve the same feat. After conquering Europe, with successful tours to Germany and Sweden, the Beatles led the mid-1960s musical ‘British Invasion’ into the United States. Although their initial musical style was rooted in 1950s rock and roll and homegrown skiffle, the group explored a great variety of musical styles including Psychedelic Rock, Experimental, Ballads, Western and Indian Classical among others. Their clothes, hairstyles, and statements made them trend-setters, while their growing social awareness saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s. Early on, the band consisted of George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Stuart Sutcliffe, and Pete Best. The band got its first major break playing in Hamburg, Germany, at some rather seedy nightclubs, beginning in 1960. While in Germany, they also met Klaus Voormann, who would later design the cover of the group’s 1966 album Revolver. Stuart remained in Germany after the others decided to return to England, and became engaged to fellow artist Astrid Kirchherr, only to die a few years later of a brain hemorrhage.

  • PK 2 Hamburg Beatles History.Pdf (253.4
    MEDIA INFORMATION NO HAMBURG, NO BEATLES: THE HISTORY OF THE FAB FOUR IN HAMBURG From the evolution of the Hamburg Sound to today’s club scene On 17 August 1960, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best played their first gig at the Indra Club in the legendary St Pauli district of Hamburg. Mark Lewisohn, the acclaimed Beatles author, aptly commented “No Hamburg, no Beatles”. The Beatles, some of whom were still minors in the beginning, spent two years in Hamburg, with only a few breaks in between. Here, they laid the foundations for their global career. Following their debut in 1960, the Beatles played in Hamburg more often than anywhere else in the world – with 300 concerts, five contracts with four different music clubs, and about 1,200 hours spent on Hamburg stages. John Lennon once said “I grew up in Liverpool but I came of age in Hamburg”, and this is arguably the story of the Beatles in Hamburg in a nutshell. It all began with a shock. When The Beatles got their first engagement in Hamburg on the 17th of August 1960, they where full of anticipation. The Hanseatic City was considered to be the perfect place to make good money by giging. And the Reeperbahn was the incarnation of adventure for those naive from Liverpool. Where nowadays countless cutting-edge music clubs line the neon bright streets, back in the day, the audience craved for all night entertainment – especially for exciting music, such as Rock‘n‘Roll and it‘s British exports.

  • Los Beatles De Liverpool a Hamburgo
    CATHARUM Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades del Instituto de Estudios Hispánicos de Canarias · nº14, 2015 Los Beatles De Liverpool a Hamburgo Adrian McGrath Esta presentación es la historia del nacimiento de los Beatles dentro del contexto de un viaje de Liverpool a Hamburgo: desde sus comienzos humildes en el Liverpool de la segunda guerra mundial hasta su visita a Hamburgo en agosto de 1960, la primera de las cinco que hicieron a la ciudad alemana. Cuatro meses después de su última visita a Hamburgo en diciembre de 1962, tres miembros del grupo, Paul McCartney, George Harrison y Ringo Starr, aterrizaron en el aeropuerto de Los Rodeos en Tenerife para pasar, casi desapercibidos, sus últimas vacaciones tranquilas antes de hacerse famosos. Los Beatles en Tenerife. Ringo, George y Paul Quisiera destacar los momentos clave ocurridos durante este viaje además de los per- sonajes que desempeñaron un papel importante durante esta etapa fundamental en las vidas de los Beatles. «Cuatro chicos que sacudieron al mundo». Estas palabras aparecen en una estatua dedi- cada a los Beatles en Mathew Street enfrente del mítico Cavern Club. A la hora de pensar en los Beatles la mayoría de la gente recuerda sólo a estos cuatro chicos: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison y Ringo Starr. A menudo los fans preguntan quién fue el quinto Beatle. Se barajan los nombres de George Martin, Brian Epstein, Klaus Voormann, Billy Preston…, pero durante esta etapa de la vida del grupo ya había habido no sólo un quinto, Stuart Sutcliffe (bajista original), sino también un sexto Beatle: Pete Best 13 CATHARUM Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades del Instituto de Estudios Hispánicos de Canarias · nº14, 2015 Los Beatles, con Pete Best.

  • KLOS Harrisongs B'day 2015
    1 Three hours of GEORGE HARRISONGS – With and without the Beatles to celebrate his birth which took place this week 72 years ago. PLAYLIST Feb.22nd 2015 2 OPEN/9am George Harrison – Apple Scruffs - All Things Must Pass ‘70 This was a salute to the girls (and sometimes boys) who stood vigil at Apple, Abbey Road and anyplace a Fab was to likely to be. Upon recording the tune, George invited the “Apple Scruffs,” into the studio to have a listen. The Beatles - I Want To Tell You - Revolver (Harrison) Lead vocal: George The backing track was recorded in five takes on June 2, 1966. George Harrison's third song on “Revolver,” was, he later said, "about the avalanche of thoughts that are so hard to write down or say or transmit." Once again Harrison had no idea what to call his composition. The band briefly kicked around random ideas, and the song was recorded under the working title “Laxton's Superb,” a type of apple. It later became known as “I Don't Know,” which was George’s answer when producer George Martin asked whether Harrison had come up with a title. By the day of the final mix (June 6, 1966), Harrison had settled on the title “I Want To Tell You.” Contains the first bass overdub on a Beatles record. Paul had his bass recorded on a different track really allowed for more options when it came time to mix the song. On U.S. album: Revolver - Capitol LP 3 The Beatles - Blue Jay Way - Magical Mystery Tour (EP) (Harrison) Lead vocal: George Written by George Harrison on August 1, 1967 while vacationing in a rented house in the Hollywood Hills above Los Angeles.

    Comunicato stampa “Astrid Kirchherr with the Beatles” The Beatles, Hugo Haase, 1960 ©GINZBURG FINE ARTS/PHOTO ASTRID KIRCHHERR Inaugurazione sabato 14 aprile 2018 – ore 18.00 Dal 15 aprile al 17 giugno 2018 Fondazione Carispezia via D. Chiodo 36, La Spezia Fondazione Carispezia inaugurerà sabato 14 aprile (ore 18.00) presso i propri spazi espositivi la mostra “Astrid Kirchherr with the Beatles”, una retrospettiva che ripercorre la storia degli anni formativi dei Beatles nell’Amburgo del dopoguerra – i cosiddetti “Hamburg Days” – attraverso gli scatti della fotografa tedesca che non solo immortalò il gruppo negli anni iniziali della carriera, ma ne influenzò profondamente lo stile trasformandolo in quello che tutti oggi conosciamo. Fondazione Carispezia Via Domenico Chiodo 36 - 19121 La Spezia Tel. 0187 77231 – Fax 0187 772330 www.fondazionecarispezia.it L’esposizione, a cura di ONO arte contemporanea in collaborazione con Ginzburg Fine Arts, sarà visitabile fino al 17 giugno e presenterà una ricca serie di scatti, la maggior parte in bianco e nero: dal primo vero e proprio servizio fotografico del gruppo a momenti privati che ripercorrono la stretta relazione tra i Beatles e la fotografa, oltre che la storia di un luogo e un periodo fondamentale per la band che ha cambiato la storia della musica pop. Nell’agosto del 1960 l’impresario tedesco Bruno Koschmider scritturò i Beatles, una giovane band di Liverpool composta da John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Pete Best e Stuart Sutcliffe, per suonare rock’n’roll in alcuni dei club da lui gestiti sulla Reeperbahn, ad Amburgo. Una delle tante sere in cui suonavano al Kaiserkeller, andarono a sentirli la giovane fotografa Astrid Kirchherr – allora assistente del celebre fotografo Reinhart Wolf – e il suo fidanzato di allora Klaus Voormann.

  • 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".
