KLOS Oct.6Th 2013 1 PLAYLIST OCT. 6TH 2013 John Lennon Birthday Special 1 2 Ringo – Happy Birthday John A/Steve Stills, Billy Preston Chris & Klaus John’s 30th… 2 3 The Beatles – Birthday - The Beatles Recorded Sept. 18th 1968 Recorded after watching the movie The Girl Can Help It at Paul’s house. The 1956 film starred Jayne Mansfield and featured performances by Fats domino, the Platters, Gene Vincent and Little Richard. Lennon: “it was a piece a garbage”. Features backing vox by Pattie and Yoko. McCartney .7 Lennon .3 The Beatles – In My Life - Rubber Soul Recorded Oct.18th 1965 Of all the Lennon/McCartney collaborations only 2 songs have really been disputed by John & Paul themselves one being “Eleanor Rigby” and the other is “In My Life”. John saying that Paul only wrote the middle eight melody and Mr. McCartney saying that he created the entire melody and intro of the song. He adds that John had all the lyrics already down but needed a melody and that he (Paul) has vivid memories of composing it on John’s mellotron while Lennon had a cup of tea in another room. Lennon? / McCartney? 3 4 The Beatles – Good Morning Good Morning - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Recorded Feb. 8th 1967 Based on a Cornflakes TV commercial John heard while sitting at the piano and feeling a bit “stuck” trying to write something for Sgt. Pepper. Paul plays one of the guitar solos w/ his right-handed Fender Esquire. Lead vocal John Lennon 1.00 9.12 BREAK The Beatles – Because - Abbey Road Recorded August 1st 1969 4 5 Written by John after hearing Yoko playing Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” on the piano…He then asked her to play the chords backwards and that how “Because“ was written. The 3 part harmony from John, Paul & George was overdubbed 3 separate times….it was both Paul’s and George’s favorite track on Abbey Road. Lennon 1.00 The Beatles – Julia - The Beatles Recorded Oct. 13th 1968 Written both about John’s mother and Yoko (ocean child) The ONLY solo Lennon Beatle song The Beatles – Girl - Rubber Soul Recorded Nov. 11th 1965 Written about a dream girl that didn’t really exist and containing a somewhat suggestive background vocal by Paul & George. John says, “it’s one of his best” Lead vocal John. Lennon .7 McCartney .3 5 6 The Beatles - I’ll Be Back - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded in 16 takes on June 1, 1964. “I'll Be Back” was written mostly by John Lennon, and was a reworking of the chords to Del Shannon's 1961 hit “Runaway.” Beatles fans in America would have to wait five months to hear this exquisite Beatles song, one of Lennon finest compositions, because Capitol Records held it off their “Something New” album and released it on “Beatles ‘65” in December 1964. On U.S. album: Beatles ‘65 - Capitol LP The Beatles - A Hard Day’s Night - A Hard Day’s Night 6 7 (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John with Paul The Beatles’ seventh single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. The title is a Ringoism, coined by the drummer sometime in 1963 and used by John in his book “In His Own Write.” With the film nearly completed the last bit of business was to give the film a name. The project was being filmed with the working title “Beatlemania.” On April 13, 1964 The Beatles met with key personnel from the studio and bounced title ideas. It was felt they’d find no better suggestion than Ringo’s off- hand remark “it’s been a hard day’s night” and John volunteered to write the title song that evening. The next morning he brought the song in and taught it to Paul. Paul cleaned up the middle section and the two played it for producer Walter Shenson. Two days later The Beatles would formally record the song. It was a rarity for an outsider to be allowed in the studio or control booth while The Beatles rehearsed and recorded. An exception was made for the director of the “A Hard Day’s Night” film, Richard Lester. Lester was in the control booth and offered many suggestions during the morning while this key song was worked out, much to the dismay of producer George Martin. It was Lester’s suggestion that the song open dramatically (as it would open the film), and fade out at the end in a cinematic way. He got his wish. George’s striking a G suspended 4th chord on his 12-string Rickenbacker make this record instantly recognizable in its opening two seconds. Released as a single in the UK on July 10, 1964, it went straight to #1. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Quick BREAK…Sean also has a birthday coming this week…did ya see him on Letterman this week w/ Yoko…hair is getting long. John – Beautiful Boy – Double Fantasy 7 8 The Beatles - Cry Baby Cry - The Beatles Recorded July 15th 1968 Another song John called ‘rubbish” in Playboy in 1980…I hate when he does that.. Lennon 1.00 The Beatles – Lucy In The Sky w/ Diamonds - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Recorded March 1st 1967 The title taken from a painting from young Julian Lennon of a school friend of his named Lucy and there were some stars painted in the sky and called it Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. Paul wrote the line “newspaper taxis”. Lead vocal John Lennon .8 / McCartney .2 9.42 BREAK 8 9 The Beatles – I’m Only Sleeping – Revolver Basic tracks recorded April 27, 1966 A song John wrote about Paul constantly waking him up to get to work on the Revolver LP….Lead vocal John Lennon 1.00 US - Capitol LP Yesterday and Today The Beatles - Rain – Hey Jude/Beatles Again / Past Masters Recorded: 14/16 April 1966 flip of Paperback Writer Ringo’s favorite Beatle track… On the evening of April 14th 1966, John Lennon very soaked with tea put on his reel to reel tape of that days work backwards and of course listened for about 2 minutes before realizing it was indeed backwards…this is the how he got the idea for the finish shed product we know and love. 9 10 The Beatles- Tomorrow Never Knows – Revolver Recorded April 6th 1966 Originally titles “Mark I” . Was based on Timothy Leary and Richard Alperts’s The Psychedelic Experience, which was THEIR interpretation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Each Beatle worked at home on creating strange sounds to add to the mix. Then they were added at different speeds sometime backwards…Paul got “arranging” credit. Lead vocal John Lennon 1.00 Rare mix on 1st pressing UK Mono The Beatles - I'm So Tired - The Beatles Recorded Oct. 8th 1968 Written in India when John couldn’t sleep, tired from all that meditating during the day. One of John’s personal favorites. Lennon 1.00 John Lennon – Meat City –Mind Games 1973 10 11 The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever – Magical Mystery Tour Recorded Nov/ Dec. 1966 Written in Spain while John was filming “How I Won The War” Strawberry Fields was actually a Salvation Army home in the neighborhood where Lennon grew up. John used to go to parties there and it always brought back happy memories to John. One of the only two HONEST songs that John says he wrote for the Beatles…the other? (HELP!) Lead vocal John Lennon 1.00 The Backwards world of Mr. John Winston Ono Lennon Spanning those wonderful years 1966 to 1974 *NEWS w/ Jackie 11 12 10.12 BREAK The Beatles - Revolution – Single/ Hey Jude / Past Masters Recorded: 9/10/11/12 July 1968 flip of Hey Jude John really wanted this to be the first Apple single but it was tough to beat out “Hey Jude”…but it still made for one of the best singles in pop music history. The Beatles - Hey Bulldog - Yellow Submarine Recorded 11th February 1968 John said, ”it’s a good sounding record that means nothing”. Newly remixed for the Yellow Submarine Soundtrack expanded version. Lead vocal Lennon Lennon. .95 .05 QUIZ… HERE Name the titles of John Lennon solo LP’s made with Yoko Ono that were released BEFORE The Beatles Let It Be album…(you have_____) 800-955-KLOS 29/11/68 LP Apple SAPCOR 2 Unfinished Music No.1 - Two Virgins 9/05/69 LP Apple ZAPPLE 01 Unfinished Music No.2 - Life With The Lions 7/11/69 LP Apple SAPCOR 11 The Wedding Album 12/12/69 LP Apple CORE 2001 Live Peace in Toronto 1969 12 13 The Beatles - I Feel Fine- A Collection Of Oldies (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ eighth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Recorded in nine takes on October 18, 1964. Written entirely by John Lennon. He based the guitar riff on Bobby Parker’s obscure R&B record “Watch Your Step.” The recording marked the first occasion in which guitar feedback had been deliberately incorporated into a pop song.

  • Canadian Beatles Albums Identification Guide Updated: 22 De 16
    Canadian Beatles Albums Identification Guide Updated: 22 De 16 Type 1 Rainbow Label Capitol Capitol Records of Canada contracted Beatlemania long before their larger and better-known counterpart to the south. Canadian Capitol's superior decision-making brought Beatles records to Canada in early 1963. After experimenting with the release of a few singles, Capitol was eager to release the Beatles' second British album in Canada. Sources differ as to the release date of the LP, but surely by December 2, 1963, Canada's version of With the Beatles became the first North American Beatles album. Capitol-USA and Capitol-Canada were negotiating the consolidation of their releases, but the US release of The Beatles' Second Album had a title and contained songs that were inappropriate for Canadian release. After a third unique Canadian album, album and single releases were unified. From Something New on, releases in the two countries were nearly identical, although Capitol-Canada continued to issue albums in mono only. At the time when Beatlemania With the Beatles came out, most Canadian pop albums were released in the "6000 Series." The label style in 1963 was a rainbow label, similar to the label used in the United States but with print around the rim of the label that read, "Mfd. in Canada by Capitol Records of Canada, Ltd. Registered User. Copyrighted." Those albums which were originally issued on this label style are: Title Catalog Number Beatlemania With the Beatles T-6051 (mono) Twist and Shout T-6054 (mono) Long Tall Sally T-6063 (mono) Something New T-2108 (mono) Beatles' Story TBO-2222 (mono) Beatles '65 T-2228 (mono) Beatles '65 ST-2228 (stereo) Beatles VI (mono) T-2358 Beatles VI (stereo) ST-2358 NOTE: In 1965, shortly before the release of Beatles VI, Capitol-Canada began to release albums in both mono and stereo.

  • Course Outline and Syllabus the Fab Four and the Stones: How America Surrendered to the Advance Guard of the British Invasion
    Course Outline and Syllabus The Fab Four and the Stones: How America surrendered to the advance guard of the British Invasion. This six-week course takes a closer look at the music that inspired these bands, their roots-based influences, and their output of inspired work that was created in the 1960’s. Topics include: The early days, 1960-62: London, Liverpool and Hamburg: Importing rhythm and blues and rockabilly from the States…real rock and roll bands—what a concept! Watch out, world! The heady days of 1963: Don’t look now, but these guys just might be more than great cover bands…and they are becoming very popular…Beatlemania takes off. We can write songs; 1964: the rock and roll band as a creative force. John and Paul, their yin and yang-like personal and musical differences fueling their creative tension, discover that two heads are better than one. The Stones, meanwhile, keep cranking out covers, and plot their conquest of America, one riff at a time. The middle periods, 1965-66: For the boys from Liverpool, waves of brilliant albums that will last forever—every cut a memorable, sing-along winner. While for the Londoners, an artistic breakthrough with their first all--original record. Mick and Keith’s tempestuous relationship pushes away band founder Brian Jones; the Stones are established as a force in the music world. Prisoners of their own success, 1967-68: How their popularity drove them to great heights—and lowered them to awful depths. It’s a long way from three chords and a cloud of dust.

JOHN LENNON: A MAN AND ARTIST UNFULFIILLED? Streszczenie: Niniejszy esej jest próbą syntetycznego, poniekąd psychoanalitycznego, ujęcia biografii Johna Lennona, zarówno jako ewidentnie zagubionego geniu- sza muzyki popularnej, jak i ofiary chłopięcego kompleksu zaniedbania przez uwielbianą matkę – później wysublimowanego w kompleks kobiecej dominacji i przeniesionego na Yoko Ono, jego drugą żonę i awangardową „muzę.” W re- zultacie ich związek, w znacznym stopniu wyidealizowany przez media, został ukazany w kontekście relacji Lennona z innymi kobietami (na przykład z ciotką Mimi), sprzecznych cech jego osobowości oraz ewolucji światopoglądowej i ar- tystycznej, która doprowadziła najpierw do dramatycznego rozdarcia między popowym supergwiazdorstwem a awangardowym artystostwem, ostatecznie zaś – do faktycznej niemocy twórczej w ciągu ostatnich pięciu lat życia. Per- John Lennon – człowiek i artysta niespełniony? spektywę komparatystyczną dla tych rozważań wyznaczać będą biografie Elvisa Presleya i Micka Jaggera. Słowa kluczowe: kompleks, trauma, dominacja, „krzyk pierwotny”, gwiaz- dorstwo, artyzm, niespełnienie Summary: In this essay, the author attempts at a synthetic insight into the biography of John Lennon, both as a confused genius of popular music and a victim of the childhood complex of motherly neglect: later transformed into the one of female domination and transferred onto Yoko Ono, his second wife and avant-garde “muse.” Consequently, their marriage, largely idealized by media, is shown here in the context of Lennon’s relations with other women (mainly his mother and aunt Mimi), his contradictory psychological traits and artistic/ ideological evolution that resulted in being torn between pop superstardom, avant-garde artistry and, in last five years, virtual creative impotence.

  • Strategic Intertextuality in Three of John Lennonâ•Žs Late Beatles Songs
    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. This may at first seem entirely obvious, especially since nowadays such a practice has been adopted routinely by many songwriters and producers, and is in fact the prevailing compositional strategy within certain pop and rock genres, rap being probably the most blatant example. Many rap artists are well known for their so-called “rap versions,” as Tim Hughes has described them, in which a distinctive element of a pre-existing song is lifted out of its original context—typically via digital sampling—and used as the foundation upon which a new song is built.1 Will Smith’s hit “Wild Wild West” (1999), for example, is composed around a sample of the bass-driven main groove from Stevie Wonder’s funk classic “I Wish” (1976); and Eminem’s hit “Like Toy Soldiers” * This essay is based in part on the first chapter of my dissertation, “British Pop-Rock Music in the Post-Beatles Era” (Ph.D. dissertation, Yale University, 2001). An earlier version was presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Music Theory, Columbus, in November 2002.

    1 1 2 PLAYLIST MARCH, 23RD 2014 9AM The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The first song recorded for what would become the “Revolver” album. John’s composition was unlike anything The Beatles or anyone else had ever recorded. 2 3 Lennon’s vocal is buried under a wall of sound -- an assemblage of repeating tape loops and sound effects – placed on top of a dense one chord song with basic melody driven by Ringo's thunderous drum pattern. The lyrics were largely taken from “The Psychedelic Experience,” a 1964 book written by Harvard psychologists Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, which contained an adaptation of the ancient “Tibetan Book of the Dead.” Each Beatle worked at home on creating strange sounds to add to the mix. Then they were added at different speeds sometime backwards. Paul got “arranging” credit. He had discovered that by removing the erase head on his Grundig reel-to-reel tape machine, he could saturate a recording with sound. Paul McCartney – For No One - Give My Regards to Broad Street ‘84 John – She Said - Home The Beatles - She Said She Said - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The rhythm track was finished in three takes on June 21, 1966, the final day of recording for “Revolver.” When the recording session started the song was untitled. The key line came from a real-life incident. On August 24, 1965, during a break in Los Angeles from their North American Tour, The Beatles rented a house on Mulholland Drive. They played host to notables such as Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds, actors and actresses, and a bevy of beautiful women, “From Playboy, I believe,” Lennon remembered.

Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Recorded Jan & Feb 1967 Quite possibly the finest Lennon/McCartney collaboration of their song-writing career. Vin Scelsa WNEW FM New York Dec.8th 1980 Paul McCartney – Here Today - Tug of War ‘82 This was Paul’s elegy for John – it was a highlight of the album, and as was the entire album, produced by George Martin. This continues to be part of Paul’s repertoire for his live shows. George Harrison – All Those Years Ago This particular track is a puzzle still somewhat unsolved. Originally written for Ringo with different lyrics, (which Ringo didn’t think was right for him), the lyrics were rewritten after John Lennon’s murder. Although Ringo did provide drums, there is a dispute as to whether Paul, Linda and Denny did backing vocals at Friar Park, or in their own studio – hence phoning it in. But Paul insists that he had asked George to play on his own track, Wanderlust, for the Tug Of War album. Having arrived at George’s Friar Park estate, they instead focused on backing vocals for All Those Years Ago. It became George’s biggest hit in 8 years, just missing the top spot on the charts. 3 2.12 BREAK/OPEN Start with songs John liked…. The Beatles – In My Life - Rubber Soul Recorded Oct.18th 1965 Of all the Lennon/McCartney collaborations only 2 songs have really been disputed by John & Paul themselves one being “Eleanor Rigby” and the other is “In My Life”.

  • 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.
