  • Beatles Cover Albums During the Beatle Period
    Beatles Cover Albums during the Beatle Period As a companion to the Hollyridge Strings page, this page proposes to be a listing of (and commentary on) certain albums that were released in the United States between 1964 and April 1970. Every album in this listing has a title that indicates Beatles-related content and/or a cover that is a parody of a Beatles cover. In addition, the content of every album listed here is at least 50% Beatles-related (or, in the case of albums from 1964, "British"). Albums that are not included here include, for example, records named after a single Beatles song but which contain only a few Beatles songs: for example, Hey Jude, Hey Bing!, by Bing Crosby. 1964: Nineteen-sixty-four saw the first wave of Beatles cover albums. The earliest of these were released before the release of "Can't Buy Me Love." They tended to be quickly-recorded records designed to capitalize rapidly on the group's expanding success. Therefore, most of these albums are on small record labels, and the records themselves tended to be loaded with "filler." Possibly, the companies were not aware of the majority of Beatle product.

The liner notes show that this album was released before the Beatles' trip to America in February, 1964.

  • Beatles Mexican Singles, Identification Guide
    Mexican Single Releases Identification Guide Revised: 28 My 16 Musart Singles Since Mexico is part of North America, Capitol Records USA (whose role it was to oversee Beatles releases in North America) was able to dictate how their records were marketed in Mexico. However, prior to 1965, Capitol had no record company offices in Mexico and therefore licensed its releases to the Musart label, a prominent Mexican record label. All Mexican singles on the Musart label are somewhat scarce; consequently, this list is incomplete. The Beatles' Musart singles are particularly hard to find in VG+ or better condition. singles originally released on this label style Catalog Number "She Loves You"/"I Saw Her Standing There" 3576 "Can't Buy Me Love"/"You Can't Do That" 3595 "From Me to You"/"This Boy" 3596 "I Want to Hold Your Hand"/"I'll Get You" 3605 "Roll Over Beethoven"/"All My Loving" 3611 "Twist and Shout"/"Do You Want to Know a Secret" 3615 "Hard Day's Night"/"Things We Said Today" 3669 "I Should Have Known Better"/"Anytime at All" 3721 "I'll Be Back"/"Love Me Do" 3722 "And I Love Her"/"Tell Me Why" 3761 "I Feel Fine"/"She's a Woman" 3764 "Eight Days a Week"/"I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" 3821 "Rock and Roll Music"/"Baby's in Black" 3823 NOTE 1: Musart promotional singles have orange backgrounds with the words "PROHIBIDA SU VENDA" and "PROMOCION" on the label.

  • Beatles History – Part Three: 1970-2008
    BEATLES HISTORY – PART THREE: 1970-2008 The Solo Careers In September 1969, John Lennon told his musical partners at a business meeting that he was leaving The Beatles. It was decided that the split was to be kept secret until the group had secured a profitable new contract with EMI Records. In early 1970, The Beatles’ staff prepared the release of Let It Be, which had been recorded in January 1969. As George Martin had lost interest in the production, American producer Phil Spector was asked to turn The Beatles’ rough recordings into a valuable album. Spec- tor’s involvement, however, caused further friction between the band members, because Paul McCartney felt that Spector was ruining his song “The Long and Winding Road” with a lavish arrangement featuring an orchestra and a choir. In addition, the release of Let It Be collided with the release date of Paul McCartney’s first solo album, McCartney, which was scheduled for 10 April, 1970. The conflicts within the band finally reached their climax when the other Beatles ignored McCartney’s wish of removing Spector’s orchestral arrangement from the recording of his song. Consequently, Paul McCartney decided to inform the public that The Beatles had disbanded. The promotional copies of McCartney’s first album contained an interview, in which he stated that he did not want to work with The Beatles anymore, because of personal and musical dis- agreements. The release date of McCartney is therefore regarded as the date The Beatles broke up, although they legally existed as a band until 1976, when their contracts finally expired.

  • The Accent of John Lennon 5: British and American Pronunciation in the Songs
    1 The Accent of John Lennon 5: British and American pronunciation in the songs Shinji Sato 1.1 Introduction British rock singers seem to use a certain amount of American pronunciation in their songs. Considering the fact that a style of music called ‘rock’n’roll’ is said to have been originated in the United States in the nineteen fi fties, it is not surprising that British youngsters who listened to it were infl uenced in their style of singing. However, this phenomenon seems to be limited to a certain number of phonemes and lexical items. This study aims to investigate this issue in detail, using the songs of John Lennon as its material. 1.2 RP, GA and Liverpool accent John Lennon’s native accent is that of Liverpool, and there are some differences from the British standard accent sometimes referred to as Received Pronunciation( RP), and similarities to the accent called General American( GA). Some of the main diff erences and similarities are shown below. 2 Table 1 RP, GA and Liverpool accent Liverpool RP GA examples accent LOT vowel / 㷜 / / ɑ: / / 㷜 / got, not, want, what BATH vowel(1) / ɑ: / / æ / / æ / dance, laugh, path BATH vowel(2) / ɑ: / / æ / / ɑ: / can't, part, bar STRUT vowel / ʌ / / ʌ / / 㷚 / love, sun, come rhoticity non-rhotic rhotic non-rhotic hard, girl, more, there intervocalic /t/[ t ] [ 㶵 (] tap)[ 㶵 ]( tap) better, getting, let it Note: LOT, BATH, and STRUT represent the keywords used by Wells(1982) .

  • Beatles Argentine Singles, Identification Guide
    Argentine Single Releases Identification and Price Guide Updated 02 Ja 16 Yellow and Green "Odeon Pops" Label The Odeon Pops label, intended for popular releases, was very popular in Argentina. Singles in the DTOA series continued at least through 1971. Beatles single releases that originally featured the Odeon Pops label encompass most of their career (through "Hey Jude"). In 1963, when the Beatles were introduced to Argentina, they were marketed on singles as "Los Grillos." While it's certainly the case that Argentine Odeon was attempting to translate the word "beetles," "grillos" actually translates better as "crickets"! Most later releases would leave "Beatles" untranslated. Singles originally released on this label style Catalog Number Value in NM Condition "From Me to You"/"Thank You Girl" DTOA 3135 $500 White label promotional copy DTOA 3135 $500 Odeon Promotional 78 As Beatles became popular in Argentina in 1963, some 78 players were still available, but only selected singles would be issued as promotional 78's. Therefore, the only Beatles single that was released on the yellow‐and‐green 78 label in Argentina is "Twist and Shout." The term “promotional” refers to the fact that it was a special edition, sold at a lower price. Single originally released on this label style Catalog Number Value in NM Condition "Twist and Shout"/"I Saw Her Standing There" 75202 $2000+ Picture sleeve to the above single (with flap) NOTE: The compact 33 release of "Twist and Shout" appears below as DTOA 3197.

  • Hills-Like-White-Elephants-Long-Walk
    Hills Like White Elephants Ernest Hemingway The hills across the valley of the Ebro were long and white. On this side there was no shade and no trees and the station was between two lines of rails in the sun. Close against the side of the station there was the warm shadow of the building and a curtain, made of strings of bamboo beads, hung across the open door into the bar, to keep out flies. The American and the girl with him sat at a table in the shade, outside the building. It was very hot and the express from Barcelona would come in forty minutes. It stopped at this junction for two minutes and went to Madrid. ‘What should we drink?’ the girl asked. She had taken off her hat and put it on the table. ‘It’s pretty hot,’ the man said. ‘Let’s drink beer.’ ‘Dos cervezas,’ the man said into the curtain. ‘Big ones?’ a woman asked from the doorway. ‘Yes. Two big ones.’ The woman brought two glasses of beer and two felt pads. She put the felt pads and the beer glass on the table and looked at the man and the girl. The girl was looking off at the line of hills. They were white in the sun and the country was brown and dry. ‘They look like white elephants,’ she said. ‘I’ve never seen one,’ the man drank his beer. ‘No, you wouldn’t have.’ ‘I might have,’ the man said. ‘Just because you say I wouldn’t have doesn’t prove anything.’ The girl looked at the bead curtain.
