  • 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.

(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: 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.

GENDER AND THE COLLABORATIVE ARTIST COUPLE by CANDICE GREATHOUSE Under the Direction of Dr. Susan Richmond ABSTRACT Through description and analysis of the balancing and intersection of gender in the col- laborative artist couples of Marina Abramović and Ulay, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and Chris- to and Jeanne-Claude, I make evident the separation between their public lives and their pri- vate lives, an element that manifests itself in unique and contrasting ways for each couple. I study the link between gendered negotiations in these heterosexual artist couples and this divi- sion, and correlate this relationship to the evidence of problematic gender dynamics in the art- works and collaborations.

  • 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".

  • 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.

    (DK) Yoko Ono Transmission KUNSTHAL CHARLOTTENBORG 13 Okt 2017 – 18 Feb 2018 (BORD 1) Et udvalg af Yoko Onos tidlige værker. New York, Tokyo og Kyoto. NEW YORK, 1961 Efter en tre-personers koncert ved Village Gate og en soloudstilling på George Maciunas’ AG Gallery opførte Yoko Ono sin egen debutperformance i New York på Carnegie Recital Hall. Hendes debut var radikalt konceptuel, og hun inviterede andre kunstnere til at performe sammen med hende. Allerede ved debuten var Yoko Onos kunstneriske ideer om instruktioner, publikumsinddragelse og ønsket om at sprede sine værker til et større publikum til stede. YOKO ONO & FLUXUS Yoko Ono havde stor indflydelse på Fluxus-bevægelsen og dens grundlægger, George Maciunas, som beundrede Yoko Onos konceptuelle kunst og tanker om publikumsinddragelse. Fluxus var et netværk af internationale, radikale kunstnere i begyndelsen af 1960’erne. Yoko Ono optrådte til Fluxus-koncerter og udgav værker gennem Fluxus. Det grafiske monogram (”Homage to Yoko Ono”, 1962) danner Yoko Onos navn og er Maciunas hyldest til hende. TOKYO & KYOTO, 1962/1964 I Tokyo afholdt Yoko Ono en radikal koncert i stil med debuten i New York. Hun skabte også en udstilling med instruktioner til malerier, som publikum kunne deltage i eller gøre færdige i deres bevidsthed. ON INSOUND Et tidligt instruktionsværk, hvor Yoko Ono guider publikum til at udføre et konceptuelt kunstværk. Værket blev præsenteret sammen med andre radikale værker, inklusiv ”Cut Piece”, på hendes koncert i Kyoto i 1964. Yoko Ono udfordrer ideen om, at kunstneren selv skal skabe værket. For hende er det konceptet, den kunstneriske idé, der er væsentlig.
