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.

Hallelujah Leonard Cohen
Hallelujah Leonard Cohen I've heard that there’s a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah x 4 You say I took the name in vain But I don't even know the name And if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter what you’ve heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah x 4 I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah x 4 "Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer Leonard Cohen, originally released on his album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a recording by John Cale, which inspired a recording by Jeff Buckley. It has been viewed as a "baseline" for secular hymns. Following its increased popularity after being featured in the film Shrek (2001), many other arrangements have been performed in recordings and in concert, with over 300 versions known. The song has been used in film and television soundtracks and televised talent contests. "Hallelujah" experienced renewed interest following Cohen's death in November 2016 and appeared on many international singles charts, including entering the American Billboard Hot 100 for the first time.

Advertise here now Get a free guide to professional editing & publishing options. www.iUniverse.com In Chrome Dreams’ previous documentary on a specialty record company, From Straight to Bizarre , the filmmakers had several advantages. First, the story of Frank Zappa and Herb Cohen’s eccentric labels is known mainly among cult circles. Much of the music discussed is extremely rare, so most viewers would find this film an eye-opening history lesson in a rather obscure chapter of rock. Second, while there was useful commentary from music historians, the heart of the film were the interviews with many of the actual participants including members of the GTOs, Alice Cooper, and Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band. However, the story for Strange Fruit: The Beatles' Apple Records is rather different and much more complex. After all, Apple had four head chefs named John, Paul, George, and Ringo with other key players like Beatle compatriots Peter Asher, Mal Evans, and Neil Aspinall. While the Zappa and Beatles projects were almost exactly concurrent (essentially from 1968 to the mid-70s), Apple Records had a very high profile indeed.

The Apple Label with the Capitol Logo
The Apple Label With the Capitol Logo When Apple label introduced itself to the world in 1968, the brand featured a label design from the Gene Mahon agency. Reportedly, Neil Aspinall of Apple contacted Gene Mahon personally and told him that they would like for Mahon to shoot photographs of apples. His idea was to have a full apple on one side with no writing whatsoever, and a sliced apple on the other side containing all of the information about the record. With the way that the laws were written, EMI were reluctant to cram all of the information onto one label (which might also pose logistical problems on an album label). Mahon selected Paul Castell to take the photographs. Some apple photos later, and the famous Apple record label was born. The rim area around the label was left blank, to allow each EMI affiliate the ability to print whatever manufacturing information they desired (or what might be required by law). The art department at Capitol Records decided to keep the print to a minimum. At the bottom of the sliced side, they placed the words “Mfd. by Apple Records, Inc.” That was all that needed to be said. A few months later, Capitol decided to mark the labels differently for artists who had contracts with Capitol. At the time, this basically meant the Beatles themselves, whose singles were numbered as part of the Capitol series (in the 2000s). Records that were from artists whose discs were in the Apple series (the 1800s) and who had contracts through Apple alone would continue to be marked with “Mfd.

The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash
SPOOFS The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash In the 1970s, Eric Idle, a former member of the legendary British com- edy team Monty Python, featured a Beatles parody song called “It Must Be Love” on Rutland Weekend Television, his own television show on BBC-2. The song had been written by Neil Innes, who had previously worked with Monty Python and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. The song was performed by ‘The Rutles’, a Beatles look-alike band featuring Neil Innes as the John Lennon character, and Eric Idle as the Paul McCartney character (vgl. Harry 1985: 69). In October 1976, the parody was shown on America’s NBC TV’s show Saturday Night Live as a se- quel to the running gag of a Beatles reunion for $3,000. The parody went down so well that Eric Idle and Neil Innes decided to produce a feature program about The Rutles for television. Idle, who was a close friend of George Harrison, was allowed to watch Neil Aspinall’s unreleased do- cumentary about The Beatles, called The Long and Winding Road. Aspi- nall’s film featured a bulk of famous footage of The Beatles, from their first televised performance at the Cavern Club in Liverpool to their last group performance on the roof of their Apple business building. Idle u- sed The Long and Winding Road as a model for his fake-documentary about The Rutles and basically re-told the history of The Beatles pro- jected upon this imaginary rock band, adding essential elements of par- ody and the Pythonesque sense of surreal humor.

Sue Me, Sue You, Blues 12 April 2006
The Web: Sue Me, Sue You, Blues 12 April 2006 prohibited Apple Computer from entering the music business. Therein lies the problem. One legal expert, Christine Haight Farley, an associate professor of law at the American University Washington College of Law, at Washington, D.C., said this contract Apple Computer and The Beatles, signed 25 years ago, is flawed. "I think Apple Computer made a multi-million pound mistake in 1981," Farley told The Web. "It may just have been the kind of mistake a technologically prescient, but legally unsophisticated, company makes." Back then, Apple was just making computers, and there was probably no way the public would be confused as to whether Apple Corps or Apple Computer was behind a particular product, or service, lawyers tell The Web. But today's computing technology is creating new, George Harrison, after leaving The Beatles, wrote unforeseen clashes in the courts.

To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You.” Tom Peters succinctly labeled and called attention to the concept of a personal brand in the August 1997 issue of Fast Company Magazine. The Beatles had that figured out well before 1997 and built a reputation, musically and personally, that stretched from Liverpool to every corner of the planet.
