1958: Buddy Holly (NBH)

Nothing Beatles Here (NBH), just a warning. But I love to understand (hear) influences to the Beatles. In this June 1958 we see (hear) the slapback echo of Elvis (which fortunately George Martin and the EMI recording engineers dropped for the next decade) but we get to hear the guitar crude sound and some licks that George Harrison borrowed for later recordings of The Beatles.

We also hear speedy songs with accurate drummers (that Ringo surpasses in that aspect). 

Buddy Holly was a great guitarrist, all in all.

2020-12: Edição dos Discos de Natal dos Beatles...

... Christmas Records box set (2020-12-13, artigo da RS):

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/beatles-rare-fan-club-christmas-records-a-complete-guide-120854/

Citando: 

"Between 1963 and 1969, the Beatles sent limited-edition Christmas singles to paid-up members of their fan club. Consisting of wordplay-laden spoken messages, surreal skits and snatches of original songs, these ultra-rare plastic “flexidisc” records existed in a hazy area between bootlegs and legitimate, if tough to find, releases. In 2017, they were reissued on vinyl as part of a limited-edition box set, The Christmas Records, making them available for general purchase for the first time.

The goofy tracks capture the band at their most playful, showcasing their warm camaraderie and wit punctuated by cheery cries of their invented Yuletide greeting: “Happy Crimble!” As their fame grew and the pressure became more immense, the Beatles welcomed the chance to blow off steam and follow their creativity into areas beyond their usual pop fare. These low-stakes sessions emboldened them to experiment, sometimes inspiring ideas that would later appear on their better-known work. Even when they’re not pushing the artistic envelope, their eccentric humor, heavily influenced by British radio comedy collective the Goons, remains as funny now as it was half a century earlier.

Here’s a comprehensive look at the Beatles’ seven Christmas records"

1970: Interviews (The Beatles - Discuss Abbey Road, Let It Be, and the Future of The Beatles)

Found this interesting set of interviews, generally positive about the Beatles by all the members, in the all-mighty YoutTube: 

Quoting: 

"An edit of Beatles interviews from 1969 to 1970. There have been a lot of articles recently about the recording of the 1969 Beatles business meeting that Mark Lewisohn has in his possession, but so far has not been shared. Until then, check out these interviews that cover a lot of the same topics and are also as "game changing" as the reported recording.

Each Beatle generally sounds positive and supportive of each others songs and solo projects, but also realistic about the business issues they had been going through. They also seem surprisingly open to making more Beatles songs and albums in 1970 and beyond.. 01 John Lennon (Everett Is Here, September 1969) 0:00 02 Paul McCartney (Scene And Heard, September 1969) 0:31 03 George Harrison (Scene And Heard, October 1969) 11:42 04 John Lennon (Scene And Heard, October 1969) 22:23 05 John Lennon (Scene And Heard, February 1970) 26:55 05 George Harrison (Scene And Heard, March 1970) 30:31 06 Ringo Starr (Scene And Heard, March 1970) 36:23 07 George Harrison (The Beatles Today, March 1970) 38:33"

1976-11: GH and Paul Simon on...

... Saturday Night Live show (1976-11-20). Just heard of it, nice acoustic set, nice harmonies, wish they made an acoustic album at the time (but it wasn't fashionable at the time).

Sweet.

2020-11: Greg Bisonete talks Ringo

Well Greg is one of the greatest drummers of all times. But he understands Ringo. You know he does when he talks about Ringo like this:

https://www.facebook.com/147910631975223/posts/3076630685769855/

PS: Of course he couldn't talk any other way. He's collaborating with Ringo for more than 11 years (believing his words). But the guy gives some great insight on the greatness of Ringo. 

PS.2: And this is my comment to the post:

Ringo's the man. Forget Bonham. OK, Bonham (&others) has its virtues but Ringo has the rythm. I am kind of sad still today that Beatles were overshadowed in the end of the 60's by show-off bands (with its merits I reckon, but...). But Ringo did had what a drummer needs to have: good sound, taste and... Rythm. In the end the great survivors of the test of time are The Beatles, no-one more.

Super interessante ver o Sean tratar Julia como a avó, John como dad e perceber que está genuinamente interessado em saber mais sobre a sua família que quase não conheceu.

E Paul dizer que uma das canções que mais gosta de John Lennon é Beautiful Boy (que é sobre Sean, um filho muito desejado de John e Yoko) e saber que isso é verdade (há entrevistas anteriores em que Paul se emociona a ouvir a canção).

Citando:

"Assassinei-o apenas porque ele era muito famoso. Foi um acto desprezível”. Foi assim, em síntese, que Mark Chapman se referiu, no passado mês de Agosto, ao gesto com que há quase 40 anos, no dia 8 de Dezembro de 1980, matou John Lennon (1940-1980) atingindo-o com quatro tiros à queima-roupa à saída do seu apartamento em Manhattan."

2020-10: Yes e a versão de Imagine?

Os Yes (cujo baterista desde o álbum Tales from Topographic Oceans é o Alan White (que entrou na Plastic Ono Band em 1969 e esteve até 1972 por lá) tocaram uma versão de Imagine numa tournée recente. Que agora editam (vídeo no link seguinte):

Citando:

"Yes have streamed their brand new single, a cover of John Lennon's 1971 classic Imagine. The song is taken from the band's upcoming new live album The Royal Affair Tour – Live From Las Vegas which is released through BMG Records on October 30."

Vídeo aqui:

https://youtu.be/aI7QcewVSs4

O que acham? É tão má como a versão de America dos S&G que fizeram ainda nos anos 60? *Má = "Diferente"...

Mais má língua passa por dizer que o Alan White já não toca bateria hoje em dia. Infelizmente. Só "toca"... Com um baterista ao lado. Os bateristas resistem mal ao tempo, e não podem cantar como o Phil Collins sentado. Instrumentos fisicamente exigentes.

1963: Ready, Steady, Go! (vídeo)

A primeira das 3 aparições no programa de TV passado na ITV (1963-10-04) dá para "perceber a pinta" dos Beatles nas entrevistas iniciais, sempre divertidos e cativantes e, nesta altura, bem vestidos:

More info:

Paul McCartney to Reissue ‘Rupert and the Frog Song’ | https://ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-mccartney-rupert-and-the-frog-song/?utm_source=tsmclip

Quoting:

"Paul McCartney announced plans to rerelease his 1984 animated short Rupert and the Frog Song to mark lead character Rupert Bear’s centenary.

He wrote and produced the 13-minute movie, which was directed by Geoff Dunbar, and accompanied the original release with the single “We All Stand Together,” which reached No. 3 in the U.K. chart.

“I’ve always loved animation,” McCartney said in a statement. “It started with the Disney cartoons and went on from there. As a kid I would always get the Rupert Annual at Christmas. I remember getting the idea for a film project when looking through one of them. There was a standout image in color, and when I saw it I could imagine a concert of frogs with them all doing different parts, a choir and an orchestra, and I could almost hear the music.

2020-09: O livro do Beatles novo

Juntamente com o filme, foi anunciado um livro com fotos inéditas das sessões dos Beatles para o filme Ler it Be. Algo que já não acontecia há décadas desde o Anthology:

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/sep/16/the-beatles-announce-get-back-first-official-book-in-20-years

Video promocional no YouTube:

https://youtu.be/ZM__OJUFzIQ

Citando:

"The first official Beatles book since seminal Anthology in 2000 is to be published in August 2021.

The Beatles: Get Back will tell the story of the final Beatles album, Let It Be, drawn from over 120 hours of transcribed conversations from the band’s studio sessions. It will accompany Peter Jackson’s feature documentary of the same name, also set for release that month.

The book documents January 1969, with friction building in the band as they recorded music for an intended TV special – George Harrison walked out of the sessions at one point and John Lennon described them as “hell”. The music they made, though, would be among the most poignant in their catalogue, and the sessions built towards the group’s final live performance, on top of the Apple Corps building in London on 30 January 1969.

The songs they recorded were later mixed (including with controversial input from Phil Spector) and eventually released in May 1970 as Let It Be, instead of the original title Get Back. It followed the recording and release of Abbey Road in September 1969, and was released a month after Paul McCartney’s departure precipitated the band’s split."

‘McLemore Avenue’: Booker T And The MGs Take The Beatles To Stax

"When The Beatles released Abbey Road, on 26 September 1969, it was not met with universal admiration. Some reviews were somewhat critical… even some fans were confused. Time has been much kinder, however, with many coming to recognise the album as a classic. For some it is considered The Beatles’ very best work – not least Booker T Jones, who, with The MGs, paid homage to Abbey Road album on their 1970 album, McLemore Avenue. Booker T, 5,500 miles away, in Los Angeles, gave a prescient assessment, saying, “I was in California when I heard Abbey Road, and I thought it was incredibly courageous of The Beatles to drop their format and move out musically like they did. To push the limit like that and reinvent themselves when they had no need to do that. They were the top band in the world but they still reinvented themselves. The music was just incredible so I felt I needed to pay tribute to it.”"

2015: A for Apple book?

Um livro "recente" sobre a Apple que esgotou rapidamente. Primeira edição:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-Illustrated-History-multimedia-corporation/dp/3000478337

Quoting:

"Volume 1 of a is for apple was released in April 2015 to worldwide acclaim; all copies of the book sold out within a month and are now sought-after collector’s items which fetch high prices on the second-hand market. Ever since, people have been asking for a reprint of Volume 1. Well, we are glad to announce we will be offering a very limited number of reprints of this book, so if you missed out on Volume 1, this is your chance to grab a copy. Originally, Volume 1 came with a two-sided disc with two previously unheard Jackie Lomax demos, but due to agreements we had with Jackie, a reprint of that single is no longer an option. Instead, we are proud to be able to offer two previously unreleased Apple recordings on a vinyl single with the reprint, one of which is an Apple published song by Miles and Robert Priestley (who are also featured on one of RPM’s great Apple published acts compilations, 94 Baker Street Revisited), while the B-side is a version of Ev'rything's Al'right by the Mojos performed by an unknown group and found on an Apple acetate. Of course we will give the buyers of the original Volume 1 the opportunity to buy this single as well."

2013-07: IBT article on Frank Sinatra and Beatles collaboration?

Yes, it did happen (audio in my previous post). This is the story behind:

https://www.ibtimes.com/when-frank-sinatra-collaborated-beatles-yes-it-really-happened-1356059

Quoting:

"Frank Sinatra, perhaps the greatest single musical performer of the century, recorded a modified version of one of his biggest hits as a favor to Ringo Starr, the drummer for the Beatles', the group that single-handedly made artists like Sinatra seem passé and irrelevant.

As the story goes, in the summer of 1968, as the Beatles were recording what would become their magnum opus, "The White Album," Ringo wanted to surprise his wife, Maureen (a huge Sinatra fan), with a special gift for her 22nd birthday.

Through the efforts of Peter Brown, the Beatles’ business manager at the time, Ringo reached out to Sinatra in California and asked him to make a recording for his wife. However, a book called "Magical Mystery Tours" claimed that it was actually another Beatles assistant, Ron Kass, who asked American songwriter Sammy Kahn to recruit Sinatra for the project.

Either way, Sinatra was obviously touched by this request, so he had Cahn rework the lyrics to the classic song “The Lady Is A Tramp” and recorded the new personalized version specially for Maureen at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles."

https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3O7rTD-KN/?igshid=14pk0nlqjxp6

Quoting:
"Paul McCartney recording ‘Blackbird’ at Abbey Road Studios, June 11 1968
⠀
He recounts writing this powerful song as a response to racial tensions escalating in the United States during the spring of 1968. “I was in Scotland playing on my guitar, and I remembered this whole idea of "you were only waiting for this moment to arise" was about, you know, the black people's struggle in the southern states, and I was using the symbolism of a blackbird. It's not really about a blackbird whose wings are broken, you know, it's a bit more symbolic."

Citando:

"Baez also tells a story about the time she turned down John Lennon: “About four o’clock in the morning, John tumbled in, and it was like he felt compelled to make some sort of overture to me… I said to him, ‘John, you are probably as beat as I am. I’m not up for it, either’. He looked so relieved.”"

"The pop century has been dominated by the goliath shadow of Mount Beatle. We presume that every musician and every listener were constantly aware of The Beatles’ sassy silhouette and wedding cake frosted recordings as they thought about what it meant to make music, hear music, be a part of the Popsi Generation.

But take a look at the pop music world in 2017. Take a good look. You will find that The Beatles are no longer the most influential pop band in the Western world.

Kraftwerk are."

""When I got there, I couldn’t retake the shot," McBean later recalled. "A new porch had been built and I couldn’t get into the same position. However, EMI asked if I could come back in a week. Meanwhile, the whole new porch was pulled down and we tried again.”

They regrouped on May 13, four days after they thought they'd completed mixing of the record, and got the picture they wanted. "Ringo Starr was so late that the staff of EMI was streaming down the stairs," McBean noted. "I got the camera fixed up, and John, fascinated by photography, came and lay down beside me to look at my viewfinder. I can still hear the screams of the EMI girls as the realized who they were stepping over to get out the door!""

https://www.nme.com/news/music/mick-jagger-responds-paul-mccartney-claims-the-beatles-better-the-rolling-stones-2653305?amp

Citando:

"McCartney made the comments in an interview with Howard Stern earlier this month, when he agreed with the host’s assertion that The Beatles were better.

“[The Stones] are rooted in the blues. When they are writing stuff, it has to do with the blues. We had a little more influences,” McCartney said. “There’s a lot of differences, and I love the Stones, but I’m with you. The Beatles were better.”

Now, in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Jagger was asked what he made of the comments. You can watch a clip below, with the full interview available at 5pm BST tonight (April 24)."

"Quem esperava momentos mais solenes como 'Yesterday' ou 'Let It Be' ficou surpreendido: o veterano inglês escolheu uma canção apropriadíssima - mas talvez inesperada - dos Beatles. Foi também uma homenagem à sua mãe, Mary, enfermeira e parteira durante a II Guerra Mundial"

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/oct/15/beatles-abbey-road-photographs-set-six-auction

E o VW branco sabem aonde foi parar? Ao museu! 

Citando:

"The shots were taken by the photographer Iain Macmillan, a friend of Lennon and Yoko Ono, on 8 August 1969. He had his Hasselblad, a stepladder and 10 minutes.

It was the fifth of the six shots that was chosen by McCartney for the album and it’s easy to see why as all four men are in step and nicely spaced." (...)

"The collection will be sold at Bloomsbury’s photographs and photobooks sale on 21 November and has an estimate of £50,000-70,000.

Almost everything about the Abbey Road shoot has become famous, including the three decorators in the background and the white VW Beetle, which has ended up in the Volkswagen museum in Wolfsburg, Germany."

2020-04: George Michael e o piano de Imagine?

Sim. George Michael comprou o piano porque não queria que o piano saísse de Inglaterra. Falou em compor uma música nele, mas tanto quanto se sabe nunca o fez:

https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/john-lennon-why-george-michael-bought-the-imagine-piano.html/

E Liam Gallagher também o tentou comprar entre outros.

Citando:

""Having paid one and a half million pounds for it I’d really like to play something on it and stick it on my next record,” Michael said, according to the Independent. “So as I’m recording right now I think I’ll hold on to it for a couple of months and see if I can get it on to my new record and then it’s going back to the museum in Liverpool where I think it rightly belongs. It’s not the type of thing that should be in storage somewhere or being protected, it should be seen by people.”"

"“A maneira como terminámos foi bastante lamentável. Sempre disse que os Beatles deviam ter acabado debaixo de uma nuvem de fumo, com roupas mágicas e envelopes cheios de dinheiro. É pena, mas não aconteceu. John [Lennon] sempre falou sobre isso como um casamento e um divórcio, e na verdade era assim”, afirmou Paul McCartney em 2004 numa longa entrevista à revista Uncut."

https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1254478/David-Bowie-John-Lennon-friendship-Bowie-beatles-favourite-MTV-interview

Citando:

"We kind of started knocking around with each other and at the time he gave me what I thought was one of the better Lennon quotes, which I have said a number of times.

“I asked him what he thought of what I was doing, glam rock, and he said, ‘Yeah, it’s great, but it’s just rock and roll with lipstick on.’

“I was impressed as I was with virtually everything he said.”

This is clearly an example of Lennon’s “spiteful” sense of humour, which Bowie went on to praise."

Citando:

""Phil", como é carinhosamente chamado nesta cidade do oeste de Inglaterra, foi construído em 1898 pelo arquiteto Walter Thomas. A década foi a idade de ouro da construção dessas tabernas conhecidas como "public houses", ou simplesmente "pubs".

Situado de frente para a sala de concertos filarmónicos de Liverpool, distingue-se pela sua exuberante fachada de pedra talhada e pelo seu interior profusamente decorado.

Uma vez, John Lennon reclamou que a pior consequência da fama dos Beatles era "já não poder ir beber uma cerveja ao Phil".

"Paris Jackson, the daughter of late and controversial ‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson took to social media via Instagram to reveal that she has a new ‘bf’ [boyfriend], that being – late the Beatles member, John Lennon. Jackson revealed this shocking and stunning revelation in the following post, that you can view below. I wonder what Yoko Ono would think! Paris would also post this other John Lennon picture with the following caption: “Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow.” That picture also can be seen below. John Lennon ‘offensive’ photos with this older woman leak."

2020-01: Morre Terry Jones

Há pessoas importantes na nossa vida. Os (bons) pais, os amigos, as amigas... E depois há estes. Monty Python, está numa mesma categoria dos Beatles para mim. Já ouvi todas as músicas dos Beatles com os miúdos no carro. Já vi toda a série dos Monty Python com eles duma ponta à outra também. E de facto alguns Beatles conheciam-nos: George Harrison penhorou a sua casa para financiar um filme dos Python. Ringo Starr apareceu num dos episódios da série. George Harrison apareceu num filme do "quinto Beatle" (mas dos Python) Neil Innes, também recentemente desaparecido, e que parodiava precisamente os Beatles. Sad.

R.I.P. Terry Jones dos Monty Python.
