BWTB Playlist- Oct. 9Th, 2016- Lennon PLAYLIST October 9th, 2016 9 AM The Beatles – Ain’t She Sweet – June 1961 22 June 1961 - Recording session with Tony Sheridan, but this time John on lead vocal. George on lead guitar, Paul on bass and backing vocals, John rhythm guitar, Pete Best on drums. The Beatles - Please Please Me – Please Please Me (McCartney-Lennon) Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles’ second single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Written entirely by John Lennon in the bedroom of his Aunt Mimi’s home on Menlove Ave., Lennon has said it was his attempt at writing a Roy Orbison song. In fact, the original version was a slower, bluesy version which producer George Martin recalls as being “rather dreary.” Because Martin was insisting on releasing their previously recorded cover of “How Do You Do It?” as their next single, The Beatles rearranged “Please Please Me” as an up-tempo song with harmonies and harmonica and then stood their ground to get it selected as their second single. Martin agreed to issue this Beatles original as the next single, shelving “How Do You Do It?” for another month, when it again came up for consideration for a single release. This was the first record owned by Elvis Costello, who was in the Beatles Fan Club when he was eleven. The 45 rpm single was released January 11, 1963 and topped two of the UK music industry’s three sales charts, compelling EMI to order a full album of songs from the band. It was the first Beatles release to list the songwriters as “McCartney-Lennon.” Both sides featured the credit in that last name order. Released three different times in the U.S. on Vee-Jay. The coupling of “Please Please Me” and “Ask Me Why” caused many to take notice of The Beatles, and particularly Lennon and McCartney's burgeoning songwriting partnership. It led to Dick James approaching them to found Northern Songs, their music publishing company. On U.S. albums: Introducing… The Beatles (Version 2) - Vee-Jay LP The Early Beatles - Capitol LP The Beatles - It Won’t Be Long – With The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The first original song recorded for their second album, “With The Beatles.” Composed primarily by John in July 1963 with the intention of writing a follow-up single to the as yet unreleased “She Loves You.” The lyrical similarity to the chorus of “She Loves You” (both songs contain the phrase “yeah, yeah, yeah”) was no accident. Beatles manager Brian Epstein had encouraged John and Paul to try to write songs that would appeal to the American market, specifically American teenagers. Soon American colloquial sayings and words started showing up in their songs. Ten takes were attempted on July 30, 1963 and the song was left unfinished. The group resumed work later that evening, in all logging 23 full or partial takes and edit pieces. It is the first original Beatles song with a call-and-response gimmick, with John and Paul alternating “yeah” throughout the song. The first song Neil Young performed live for an audience at his high school cafeteria in Canada. On U.S. album: Meet The Beatles! - Capitol LP The Beatles - I Should Have Known Better - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Following their triumphant visit to America The Beatles were thrust back to work. On February 25, 1964 they dove into new songs slated for their film. On this day they recorded “You Can’t Do That” and began work on Paul’s “And I Love Her” and John’s “I Should Have Known Better.” In the film “I Should Have Known Better” was performed in the train compartment scene, which in reality was the interior of a van with crew members rocking the van to fake the train in motion. Used as the flip side of the U.S. “A Hard Day’s Night” single. Paul’s “Things We Said Today” was the UK b-side. Recorded Feb. 25-26, 1964. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Hey Jude - Apple LP (1970) The Beatles - I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party - Beatles For Sale (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John and Paul Written primarily by John, who called it one of his favorites. Recorded in 19 takes (only five of which were complete run-throughs) on September 29, 1964. The B-side of the “Eight Days A Week” single in the U.S., issued February 15, 1965. On U.S. album: Beatles VI - Capitol LP The Beatles - You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away - Help! (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded in less than two hours on February 18, 1965. Written entirely by John Lennon, who freely admitted the obvious Bob Dylan influence. Lennon wrote this at Kenwood, his home on the St. George’s Hill estate in Weybridge, Surrey (where the Beatles would be photographed for the cover of their “Rubber Soul” album). John’s original lyric was “I can’t go on feeling two foot tall,” but when singing it for Paul the first time he accidentally said, two foot “small.” Lennon then laughed and said, “Let’s leave it … all those pseudes will really love it.” The first of their songs since “Love Me Do” in 1962 to feature an outside musician. Johnnie Scott provides the flute solo at the end of the song, though he is not credited on the album jacket. On U.S. album: Help! - Capitol LP 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 BREAK 9:25 The Beatles – Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite - Sgt.

Agreed to record 3 songs from the publishing Co. BIG SEVEN MUSIC on his R’n’R LP. SHOOT ME….One of John’s favorite Beatle tracks. Lennon 1.00 /The Wedding Album – Nov. 1969 John Lennon - Give Peace A Chance – Live Peace In Toronto / Dec. 1969 The Beatles – Dig A Pony - Let It Be May 1970 January 30, 1969 (rehearsal & 1 take; rooftop performance) John Lennon on a tear in 1969…releasing 3 solo LP’s BREAK 9:56 John Lennon – Well Well Well - Plastic Ono Band ‘70 This is the lengthiest track on the Plastic Ono Band album and contains one of the most tortured-larynx songs of John’s career. John Lennon – Jealous Guy – Imagine ‘71 Originally written as “Child of Nature,” which was taken from a lecture from Marahashi Mahesh Yogi, which also inspired the Paul McCartney tune, “Mother Nature’s Son.” The musicians included are Klaus Voorman (bass), Nicky Hopkins (who played on “Revolution”) John Barham and Moody Blues keyboardist Mike Pinder (to play Mellotron). John Lennon – John Sinclair – Some Time In New York City ‘72 John had held a concert in honor of John Sinclair who had been sent to prison for possession of “two marijuana joints.” He was released after the concert on December 13th, 1971. But John included this song that was inspired by Sinclair’s unfair incarceration. John Lennon – Mind Games – Mind Games ‘73 The title track was one of John’s most commercially successful in the two years since “Imagine.” This was the only single issued off the album as well. “Mind Games” had be in gestation for over three years, having started out with the titles, “Make Love Not War,” and “I Promise.” BREAK 10:25 John Lennon - #9 Dream - Walls And Bridges ‘74 This track had started out with the title of “Walls and Bridges.” It was later renamed as it is much more fitting, and continues John’s fascination with the number nine. May Pang provide backing vocals (“John’s”) – while a message to George Harrison can be heard (as the two men had been arguing). John Lennon – Bony Moronie - Rock ‘n’ Roll ‘75 And yet another Larry Williams cover (having recorded three during his time with the Beatles). John Lennon – Instant Karma - Shaved Fish ‘75 John Lennon – (Just Like) Starting Over This would become the biggest post-Beatles solo 45 rpm ever. This was a fifties- style song that was unlike anything on the radio in 1980. It was an enormous hit even before the event on December 8th, 1980. A song that was dedicated to Gene Vincent and Elvis. BREAK 10:56 The Beatles – Ask Me Why – Please Please Me Recorded Nov.

  • Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles' Films
    “All I’ve got to do is Act Naturally”: Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles’ Films Submitted by Stephanie Anne Piotrowski, AHEA, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English (Film Studies), 01 October 2008. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which in not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signed)…………Stephanie Piotrowski ……………… Piotrowski 2 Abstract In this thesis, I examine the Beatles’ five feature films in order to argue how undermining generic convention and manipulating performance codes allowed the band to control their relationship with their audience and to gain autonomy over their output. Drawing from P. David Marshall’s work on defining performance codes from the music, film, and television industries, I examine film form and style to illustrate how the Beatles’ filmmakers used these codes in different combinations from previous pop and classical musicals in order to illicit certain responses from the audience. In doing so, the role of the audience from passive viewer to active participant changed the way musicians used film to communicate with their fans. I also consider how the Beatles’ image changed throughout their career as reflected in their films as a way of charting the band’s journey from pop stars to musicians, while also considering the social and cultural factors represented in the band’s image.

  • John Lennon – Człowiek I Artysta Niespełniony?
    Tom 12/2020, ss. 43-72 ISSN 0860-5637 e-ISSN 2657-7704 DOI: 10.19251/rtnp/2020.12(3) www.rtnp.mazowiecka.edu.pl Andrzej Dorobek Mazowiecka Uczelnia Publiczna w Płocku ORCID: 0000-0002-5102-5182 JOHN LENNON – CZŁOWIEK I ARTYSTA NIESPEŁNIONY? 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.

  • BWTB Revolver @ 50 2016
    1 PLAYLIST AUG. 7th 2016 Part 1 of our Revolver @ 50 Special~ We will dedicate to early versions of songs…plus the single that preceded the release of REVOLVER…Lets start with the first song recorded for the album it was called Mark 1 in April of 1966…good morning hipsters 2 9AM The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows – Revolver TK1 (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. 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. A bit of….The Beatles - For No One - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul 3 The Beatles - Here, There And Everywhere / TK’s 7 & 13 - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written by Paul while sitting by the pool of John’s estate, this classic ballad was inspired by The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows.” Completed in 14 takes spread over three sessions on June 14, 16 and 17, 1966.

  • MTO 11.4: Spicer, Review of the Beatles As Musicians
    Volume 11, Number 4, October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory Mark Spicer Received October 2005 [1] As I thought about how best to begin this review, an article by David Fricke in the latest issue of Rolling Stone caught my attention.(1) Entitled “Beatles Maniacs,” the article tells the tale of the Fab Faux, a New York-based Beatles tribute group— founded in 1998 by Will Lee (longtime bassist for Paul Schaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman)—that has quickly risen to become “the most-accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business.” By painstakingly learning their respective parts note-by-note from the original studio recordings, the Fab Faux to date have mastered and performed live “160 of the 211 songs in the official canon.”(2) Lee likens his group’s approach to performing the Beatles to “the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart . as perfectly as we can.” As the Faux’s drummer Rich Pagano puts it, “[t]his is the greatest music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it.” [2] It’s been over thirty-five years since the real Fab Four called it quits, and the group is now down to two surviving members, yet somehow the Beatles remain as popular as ever. Hardly a month goes by, it seems, without something new and Beatle-related appearing in the mass media to remind us of just how important this group has been, and continues to be, in shaping our postmodern world. For example, as I write this, the current issue of TV Guide (August 14–20, 2005) is a “special tribute” issue commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles’ sold-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965—a concert which, as the magazine notes, marked the “dawning of a new era for rock music” where “[v]ast outdoor shows would become the superstar standard.”(3) The cover of my copy—one of four covers for this week’s issue, each featuring a different Beatle—boasts a photograph of Paul McCartney onstage at the Shea concert, his famous Höfner “violin” bass gripped in one hand as he waves to the crowd with the other.

  • SOME TIME in NEW YORK CITY JOHN LENNON 'S TOWN Hinckley, David
    Document 1 of 1 SOME TIME IN NEW YORK CITY JOHN LENNON 'S TOWN Hinckley, David. New York Daily News [New York, N.Y] 09 Mar 2005: 30. Abstract Nonetheless, all four, particularly [JOHN LENNON] and [Paul McCartney], took a liking to the town. Being that one of their major quests during their first years was to convince the world their music and messages could inspire more than teenage shrieking, New York was a good place to find validation. Both McCartney and Lennon enjoyed more than somewhat the attention of sophisticated and avant-garde artists. His next musical direction was somewhere else altogether. By 1971 he and [Yoko Ono] were keeping company with radical activists like Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman, who were, of course, delighted to have Lennon's aura behind them. On Dec. 17 of that year, the Lennons made a rare live appearance, at an Apollo Theatre benefit for the wives of people killed in the Attica prison uprising. IN MARCH, around the time the FBI was telling Richard Nixon that Lennon might be part of a plot to disrupt the 1972 Republican convention, Lennon was handed a deportation order, citing a 1968 conviction for marijuana possession. Full Text CONSIDERING THAT both his first and final moments in the city drew saturation worldwide media coverage, it is mildly ironic that the reason John Lennon really loved New York was that he could walk around without anyone paying him any mind. Lennon arrived here at the well-documented moment of 1:20 p.m. on Feb. 7, 1964, aboard Pan American Flight 101.
