  • 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".

  • Glass Onion Tapestry
    June 2014 Press Release Dovecot Studios and Magne Furuholmen collaborate to create Glass Onion tapestry Following an introduction from Paul Stolper, Dovecot Studios are delighted to be working with Norwegian artist Magne Furuholmen on an exciting new collaboration in tapestry. Dovecot invited Furuholmen to the Studios in early 2013 to consider a tapestry project and following a series of conversations with Dovecot’s weaving team, he returned to the studios in late April 2014 with a selection of design ideas derived from a series of ten large format woodcut prints collectively known as Norwegian Wood. Furuholmen has created a new print titled Glass Onion, specifically as a design for the tapestry, using music as its main reference point. Dovecot are particularly thrilled by this project as Furuholmen’s holistic approach to his practice as an artist - continually assessing his modus operandi and experimenting with various media – will ensure that his involvement in the creation of Glass Onion will be rewarding for all those who are involved in the process. The Glass Onion tapestry will be woven at Dovecot under the supervision of Master Weaver Naomi Robertson. This process will begin in June 2014 and continue throughout the Edinburgh Art Festival to be completed before embarking on a tour in late September. Three of Furuholmen’s Glass Onion woodblock prints will be displayed as part of Dovecot’s summer exhibition Current Exchanges: Dovecot and the Australian Tapestry Workshop, and viewers will be able to watch the weavers work on the tapestry from the Balcony. A major exhibition of Magne Furuholmen’s work is scheduled at Dovecot for early 2015.

  • 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.

  • Badfinger: La Maldición De Los “Nuevos Beatles”
    Badfinger: la maldición de los “nuevos Beatles” “Without you es la canción más increíble de todos los tiempos” (Paul McCartney) “Tienes que contratar a un abogado y tienes que leerte todos esos contratos. Nosotros no nos leímos un contrato en nuestra vida” (Joey Molland, miembro superviviente de Badfinger) “Eran unos chiquillos y estaban confundidos. Es una vergüenza que cosas como éstas sucedan en el negocio de la música” (Stan Poses, vicepresidente de Badfinger Enterprises) Tres citas que resumen una traumática carrera. SiWilliam Shakespeare o León Tolstoi hubiesen escrito una novela sobre la ascensión y caída de un grupo musical, el resultado hubiese sido muy similar a la biografía de Badfinger. Lo que sucedió con aquel grupo es uno de los relatos más descorazonadores en la historia de la industria musical: cuatro veinteañeros que lo tenían todo para triunfar y que de hecho triunfaron… aunque una década más tarde dos de ellos ya se habían quitado la vida por causa de los problemas económicos; precisamente los dos que escribieron una canción que convirtió en multimillonarios a Harry Nilsson y Mariah Carey. Badfinger fueron exprimidos por la maquinaria discográfica. Exprimidos, masticados, digeridos y regurgitados sin recompensa alguna. Bueno, bonito, barato: Badfinger A finales de los sesenta el futuro de estos cuatro muchachos galeses no podía parecer más prometedor. Los cuatro famosos Beatles, que rara vez se ponían de acuerdo, sí coincidieron en una cosa: quedaron impresionados por el potencial de los jovencísimos Badfinger. No dudaron en contratarlos; de hecho, Badfinger fue el primer grupo fichado por Apple Records, la discográfica de los “cuatro fabulosos” de Liverpool.

STRATEGIC INTERTEXTUALITY IN THREE OF JOHN LENNON’S LATE BEATLES SONGS* MARK SPICER his article will focus on an aspect of the Beatles’ compositional practice that I believe T merits further attention, one that helps to define their late style (that is, from the ground- breaking album Revolver [1966] onwards) and which has had a profound influence on all subsequent composers of popular music: namely, their method of drawing on the resources of pre-existing music (or lyrics, or both) when writing and recording new songs.
