BWTB Nov. 13Th Dukes 2016
1 Playlist Nov. 13th 2016 LIVE! From DUKES in Malibu 9AM / OPEN Three hours non stop uninterrupted Music from JPG&R…as we broadcast LIVE from DUKES in Malibu…. John Lennon – Steel and Glass - Walls And Bridges ‘74 Much like “How Do You Sleep” three years earlier, this is another blistering Lennon track that sets its sights on Allen Klein (who had contributed lyrics to “How Do You Sleep” those few years before). The Beatles - Revolution 1 - The Beatles 2 The first song recorded during the sessions for the “White Album.” At the time of its recording, this slower version was the only version of John Lennon’s “Revolution,” and it carried that titled without a “1” or a “9” in the title. Recording began on May 30, 1968, and 18 takes were recorded. On the final take, the first with a lead vocal, the song continued past the 4 1/2 minute mark and went onto an extended jam. It would end at 10:17 with John shouting to the others and to the control room “OK, I’ve had enough!” The final six minutes were pure chaos with discordant instrumental jamming, plenty of feedback, percussive clicks (which are heard in the song’s introduction as well), and John repeatedly screaming “alright” and moaning along with his girlfriend, Yoko Ono. Ono also spoke random streams of consciousness on the track such as “if you become naked.” This bizarre six-minute section was clipped off the version of what would become “Revolution 1” to form the basis of “Revolution 9.” Yoko’s “naked” line appears in the released version of “Revolution 9” at 7:53. -

Identifying New Zealand Beatles 45's Page Updated 23 De 16 Red and Silver Parlophone Label The Beatles first began hitting it big in New Zealand in the middle of 1963.

The singles originally issued on this label style were as follows: Songs Catalog Number "Please Please Me"/"Ask Me Why" NZP 3142 "From Me to You"/"Thank You Girl" NZP 3143 "She Loves You"/"I'll Get You" NZP 3148 "I Want to Hold Your Hand"/"This Boy" NZP 3152 "I Saw Her Standing There"/"Love Me Do" NZP 3154 "Can't Buy Me Love"/"You Can't Do That" NZP 3157 "Roll Over Beethoven"/"All My Loving" NZP 3158 "Twist and Shout"/"Boys" NZP 3160 "Money"/"Do You Want to Know a Secret" NZP 3163 "Long Tall Sally"/"I Call Your Name" NZP 3166 "Hard Day's Night"/"Things We Said Today" NZP 3167 "I Should Have Known Better"/"And I Love Her" NZP 3172 "Matchbox"/"I'll Cry Instead" NZP 3173 Red, Silver, and Black Parlophone Label At the end of 1964, the Parlophone label went through a transition period. Black lettering was used for the singles' information on the existing red-and-silver backdrops. Notice that "Parlophone" still appears in silver at the top of the label. The following singles were released originally on this label style. Songs Catalog Number "I Feel Fine"/"She's a Woman" NZP 3175 Red and Black Parlophone Label Once again in 1965, New Zealand Parlophone changed label styles. -

1 PLAYLIST AUG. 5TH 2012 Special Guests WINGS Denny Seiwell – Denny Laine – Laurence Juber 1 2 9AM The Beatles - Rain - Non-LP B-side (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded on April 14 and 16, 1966. The track is notable for the backwards vocal from John Lennon at the end of the song. The section is John singing part of the first verse but the tape is superimposed backwards in the mix. The song contains slowed down instruments, guitar distortion, and vocals recorded and played back at variable speed. Aside from Paul McCartney’s dominant bass part, the song features a striking drum performance from Ringo, who has called “Rain” his favorite Beatles song. The B-side of “Paperback Writer.” Issued in America on May 23, 1966 and the UK on June 10, 1966, several months in advance of the “Revolver” album. On U.S. album: Hey Jude - Capitol LP (1970) 2 3 The Beatles - Paperback Writer - A Collection Of Beatles Oldies (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles’ twelfth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Recorded on April 13 and 14, 1966. The track is notable for Paul McCartney’s furious bass line. The bass is so prominent in the mix that sound engineers at EMI worried it could cause the stylus of a record player tone arm (the needle thing on record players) to jump when fans played the 45 RPM single at home. Thankfully, no such calamity occurred. For this heavy bass sound Paul’s chose to replace his usual Hofner bass with a Rickenbacker 4001S bass. -
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. -

BWTB Sept. 13Th 2015
1 2 Playlist Sept. 13th 2015 9AM/OPEN The Beatles - I’m Only Sleeping - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Written by John and Paul at Kenwood, John’s estate in Weybridge, in one writing session. Recording of the backing rhythm track began at 11:30 p.m. on April 27, 1966. John recorded his lead vocal on April 29. Both the vocal and backing track were recorded at variable speed. It was during the recording of “I’m Only Sleeping” that The Beatles discovered the “backwards guitar.” On May 5, 1966, as the band continued working on the song, George painstakingly transcribed the notes in his guitar solo and flourishes and then wrote them out backwards. He then played them in that reverse order. The tapes were then superimposed BACKWARDS in the mix, playing the solo notes and embellishments in the correct order, but maintaining the eerie backwards sound. “I’m Only Sleeping” was one of three songs issued in America six weeks prior to their official release in the UK. American and Canadian Beatles fans heard “I’m Only 3 Sleeping,” “And Your Bird Can Sing,” and “Doctor Robert” first on Capitol Records’ “Yesterday And Today” album, issued June 20, 1966. The rest of the world had to wait until the first week of August for them to appear on the “Revolver” LP. On U.S. album: Yesterday And Today - Capitol LP The Beatles - Fixing A Hole - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul On February 9, 1967, the Beatles recorded “Fixing A Hole” at Regent Sound Studio on Tottenham Court Road in London. -

More information about this work at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu/gc_pubs/138 Discover additional works at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu This work is made publicly available by the City University of New York (CUNY). Contact: [email protected] Help! (Capitol, 11.6.2007) Once upon a time, boys and girls, there were these mopheads from Liverpool. They made these songs that made everybody happy. Then these men in suits said, “There’s even more gold in them thar boys.” And a movie was begat real fast cause everybody knew they were flashes in the pan. An American expatriate, Richard Lester, was chosen to make it because he had made It’s Trad, Dad! and knew all about quickly fading musical fads. And behold, A Hard Day’s Night was a masterpiece, and everybody was very, very happy. And the suits said, “Dick, do it again,” and Help! was born. It also made people happy, but it is not a masterpiece. Somewhere in the mysterious East, Clang (Leo McKern) is about to sacrifice a virgin when he discovers the would-be victim has sent the required sacrificial ring to Ringo Starr, famous jewelry fetishist. So Clang, his men, and the lovely Ahme (Eleanor Bron) head for London to get the ring back. Ringo is willing to give it up but can’t get it off, so the boys seek the help of Foot (Victor Spinetti), a mad scientist, and Algernon (Roy Kinnear), his bumbling assistant. -

Hello, and Welcome to Steppenwolf Theater Company's Presentation of the American Clock, a Play by Arthur Miller
Carrie Coon: Hello, and welcome to Steppenwolf Theater Company's presentation of The American Clock, a play by Arthur Miller. This piece is in radio play format, so the image you see won't change. We hope this gives you the opportunity to sit back, divest of screens for a moment, and experience the story in a more intimate way, putting the focus squarely on Miller's writing and the actors' voices. Or, if you prefer, imagine 15 ensemble members on a Zoom call. Carrie Coon: There will be a brief intermission, but if you need to step away for a moment, feel free to pause the recording and begin again at your leisure. Also, please know that any recording or distribution of this presentation is strictly prohibited. Thank you for choosing to be a part of our Steppenwolf community, particularly in this most challenging time. We're so glad you're here, and we hope you enjoy our production of The American Clock, by Arthur Miller. Rose Baum: (singing) Rose Baum: By the summer of 1929- Lee Baum: I think it's fair to say that nearly every American- Moe Baum: Firmly believed that he was going to get- Arthur A. Robertson: Richer and richer. Moe Baum: Every year- Arthur A. Robertson: The country knelt to a golden calf in a blanket of red, white, and blue.

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. Beattle Mash The Liverpool Kids Palace M-777 Side One Side Two 1. She Loves You 1. Thrill Me Baby 2. Why Don't You Set Me Free 2. I'm Lost Without You 3. Let Me Tell You 3. You Are the One 4. Take a Chance 4. Pea Jacket Hop 5. Swinging Papa 5. Japanese Beatles 6. Lookout for Charlie The label not only spells "Beatle" correctly but also lists the artist as "The Schoolboys." The liner notes show that this album was released before the Beatles' trip to America in February, 1964.
