The Beatles (Beat Brothers) & Tony Sheridan -Early Tapes

On The Beatles' first visit to Hamburg, Germany in 1960, they met rock and roller Tony Sheridan, and became friends with him. On their second visit, in 1961, The Beatles backed Sheridan in a series of stage performances. It is sometimes said that German Polydor agent Bert Kaempfert saw Sheridan with The Beatles, but others report that a friend of Kaempfert's suggested that he bring them in to put down some recordings. Either way, he produced the material with Karl Hinze. While they recorded a number of songs together (as well as alone), few of them actually made it on to the album, with Sheridan re-recording many of them. The Beatles are known to appear on "My Bonnie" and "The Saints" (this pair was also released as a single, see below). The version of "Swanee River" on the album has sometimes been said to feature The Beatles, however that version is in fact not included here, and it is not known whether the original recording still exists.
Legend says, in 1961, Raymond Jones, a young man from Liverpool, made a request for a copy of the "My Bonnie" single, which brought The Beatles to the attention of then-record store manager Brian Epstein, and set in motion the events that would lead him to become their manager. After The Beatles became successful, the eight tracks The Beatles worked on and some other Beat Brothers material were issued on an album in 1964 titled “The Beatles' First.”

La prima vizita a celor de la Beatles la Hamburg, Germania, in 1960, ei l-au intalnit pe rock and roller-ul Tony Sheridan si au devenit prieteni. La a doua vizita, in 1961, Beatles au facut backing vocal pentru acesta intr-o serie de performante scenice. Cateodata se spunea agentul german de la Polydor, Bert Kaempfert,a vazut pe Sheridan cu Beatles, dar altii spun ca un prieten al acestuia a sugerat sa ii cheme sis a faca niste inregistrari. In orice caz, el a produs materialul impreuna cu Karl Hinze. In timp ce ei au inregistrat un numar de piese impreuna (dar si singuri), putine dintre ele au ajuns pe album, cu Sheridan re-reinregistrandu-le pe multe dintre acestea. Despre The Beatles se stie ca au aparut pe “MyBonnie” si “The Saints” (aceasta pereche de cantece fiind lansata si ca single). Despre versiunea de la “Swanee River” de pe disc se spunea ca ii are sip e Beatles, desi versiunea nu e de fapt inclusa aici si nu se stie unde este inregistrarea originala si daca ea exista.
Legenda spune ca in 1961, Raymond Jones, un tanar din Liverpool, a facut o cerere pentru o copie de la “My Bonnie” de pe single, ceea ce a atras atentia asupra celor de la Beatles managerului de atunci al magazinului, Brian Epstein, care a pus apoi in miscare evenimentele ce l-au facut in final managerul trupei. Dupa ce Beatles au devenit ceelebri, cele opt piese la care au lucrat ei si cateva altele din materialul Beat Brothers au fost folosite pe un album din 1964 intitulat “The Beales’ First”.

Paul McCartney&Wings - Band on the Run (Full album 1973)

“Band on the Run” is the third studio album by the British–American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released in December 1973. It was McCartney's fifth album after leaving the Beatles in April 1970. Although sales were modest initially, its commercial performance was aided by two hit singles – "Jet" and "Band on the Run" – such that it became the top-selling studio album of 1974 in the United Kingdom and Australia, in addition to revitalising McCartney's critical standing. It remains McCartney's most successful album and the most celebrated of his post-Beatles works.

The album was mostly recorded at EMI's studio in Lagos, Nigeria, as McCartney wanted to make an album in an exotic location. Shortly before departing for Lagos, drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Henry McCullough left the group. With no time to recruit replacements, McCartney went into the studio with just his wife Linda and Denny Laine. McCartney therefore played bass, drums, percussion and most of the lead guitar parts. The studio was poor quality and conditions in Nigeria were tense and difficult; the McCartneys were robbed at knifepoint, losing a bag of song lyrics and demo tapes. After the band's return to England, final overdubs and further recording were carried out in London, mostly at AIR Studios.
In 2000, Q magazine placed “Band on the Run” at number 75 in its list of the "100 Greatest British Albums Ever". In 2012, it was listed at 418 on Rolling Stone's revised list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". A contemporary review by Jon Landau in Rolling Stone described the album as being "with the possible exception of John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band, the finest record yet released by any of the four musicians who were once called the Beatles". It was McCartney's last album issued on the Apple record label. In 2013, “Band on the Run” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

 

“Band on the Run” este al treilea album de studio al trupei de rock anglo-americane Paul McCartney and Wings, lansat in decembrie 1973. A fost cel de-al cincilea album al lui Paul McCartney dupa despartirea de Beatles in 1970. Desi vanzarile initiale au fost modeste, ele au fost ajutate de cele doua hit-single-uri “Jet” si “Band on the Run”- astfel incat albumul a devenit cel mai vandut in 1974 in Marea Britanie si Australia, concomitant cu imbunatairea criticilor musicale la adresa lui Paul. Ramane cel mai bun album al lui McCartney si realizarea post Beatles cea mai sarbatorita.
Cele mai multe inregistrari de pe album sunt facute in Lagos, Nigeria, deoarece McCartney a vrut sa realizeze un album intr-un loc exotic.Cu putin timp inainte de a pleca spre Lagos, bateristul Denny Seiwell si chitaristul Henry McCullough au parasit grupul. Fara a avea timp sa faca inlocuiri, McCartney a intrat in studio cu sotia sa Linda si cu Danny Laine. De aceea McCartney a trebuit sa cante la bas, tobe, percutie si cea mai mare parte din chitara conducatoare. Studioul era de calitate slaba si conditiile din Nigeria erau dificile, situatia fiind tensionata; sub amenintarea cutitului au fost jefuiti, pierzand astfel o geanta cu texte si inregistrari demo ale cantecelor. Dupa revenirea in Anglia ce a mai ramas de completat la inregistrari s-a facut la AIR Studios.
In 2000, Q Magazine a plasat “Band on the Run” pe locul 75 in clasamentul celor mai bune 100 de albume britanice din toate timpurile. In 2012 a fost plasat pe locul 418 in clasamentul revistei Rolling Stone al celor mai bune 500 de albume din toate timpurile. O cronica contemporana a lui Jon Landau in Rolling Stone Magazine spune despre album ca fiind “cu exceptia lui John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band, cea mai frumoasa realizare a unuia din cei patru muzicieni care au format candva Beatles”. A fost ultimul album al lui McCartney lansat sub marca Apple. In 2013, “Band on the Run” a fost introdus in Grammy Hall of Fame.

Beatles - Help! (Full album 1965)

“Help!” is the fifth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles and the soundtrack from their film of the same name, It was released on 6 August 1965. Produced by George Martin, it was the fifth UK album release by the band, and contains fourteen songs in its original British form. Seven of these, including the singles "Help!" and "Ticket to Ride", appeared in the film and took up the first side of the vinyl album. The second side contained seven other releases including the most-covered song ever written, "Yesterday".
The American release was a true soundtrack album, mixing the first seven songs with instrumental material from the film. Of the other seven songs that were on the British release, two were released on the US version of the next Beatles album, “Rubber Soul”, two were back-to-back on the next US single and then appeared on “Yesterday and Today”, and three had already been on Beatles VI.
“Help!” was nominated in the category of Album of the Year at the 1966 Grammys Awards, marking the first time that a rock band had been recognised in this category. In 2000, it was voted 119th in the third edition of Colin Larkin's book All Time Top 1000 Albums. In 2012, it was ranked 331st on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In September 2013, after the British Phonographic Industry changed its sales award rules, “Help!” was certified platinum for recorded sales since 1994.

“Help!” este al cincilea album de studio al trupei engleze de rock Beatles si muzica la filmul lor cu acelasi nume. A fost lansat la 6 august 1965. Produs de catre George Martin, a fost al cincilea album britanic lansat de catre trupa si contine 14 cantece in formatul original. Sapte dintre acestea, inclusiv single-urile “Help!” si “Ticket to Ride”, au aparut in film si au fost puse pe prima fata a albumului de vinil. Fata a doua contine alte sapte lansari, inclusiv cantecul cu cele mai multe preluari care a fost scris vreodata, “Yesterday”.
Lansarea americana a fost cu adevarat o muzica de film, combinand primele sapte cantece cu material instrumental din film. Dintre celelalte sapte cantece din lansarea britanica, doua au fost lansate in versiunea Americana a urmatorului album Beatles “Rubber Soul”, doua au fost spate in spate pe urmatorul single american si atunci au aparut pe :Yesterday and Today” si trei fusesera deja pe Beatles VI.
“Help!” a fost nominalizat la categoria Albumul anului la Grammy Awards din 1966, marcand prima data cand o formatie rock a fost recunoscuta in aceasta categorie. In 2000 a fost votat al 119-lea in a treia editie a cartii lui Colin Larkin “Topul 1000 din toate timpurile al albumelor” . In 2012 a fost clasat al 331-lea in revista Rolling Stone in lista celor 500 mai mari albume din toate timpurile. In septembrie 2013, dupa ce industria fonografica britanica si-a schimbat regulile pentru premiile la vanzari, “Help!” a fost certificat cu platina pentru vanzarile incepand din 1994.

The Beatles - Beatles for Sale (Full album 1964)

“Beatles for Sale” is the fourth studio album by the English rock band The Beatles. It was released on 4 December 1964 in the United Kingdom on EMI's Parlophone label. Eight of the album's fourteen tracks appeared on Capitol Records' concurrent release, “Beatles '65”, issued in North America only. The album marked a departure from the upbeat tone that had characterised the Beatles' previous work, partly due to the band's exhaustion after a series of tours that had established them as a worldwide phenomenon in 1964. The songs introduced darker musical moods and more introspective lyrics, with John Lennon adopting an autobiographical perspective in compositions such as "I'm a Loser" and "No Reply". The album also reflected the twin influences of country music and Bob Dylan, whom the Beatles met in New York in August 1964.
The Beatles recorded the album at EMI Studios in London in between their touring and radio engagements. Partly as a result of the group's hectic schedule, only eight of the tracks are original compositions, with cover versions of songs by artists such as Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Little Richard being used to complete the album. The sessions also produced a non-album single, "I Feel Fine" backed by "She's a Woman".
In Great Britain, “Beatles for Sale” held the number 1 spot for 11 of the 46 weeks that it spent in the top 20. The album was similarly successful in Australia, where the band's cover of Berry's "Rock and Roll Music" also topped the singles chart. One of the songs omitted from the US version of the album, "Eight Days a Week", became the Beatles' seventh number 1 in the US when issued as a single there in February 1965. “Beatles for Sale” was not released in the US until 1987, when the Beatles' catalogue was standardised for release on CD.

“Beatles for sale” este al patrulea album de studio al trupei engleze de rock The Beatles. A fost lansat pe 4 decembrie 1964 in Marea Britanie la marca Parlafhone apartinand lui EMI. Opt din cele paisprezece piese ale albumului au aparut pe lansarea concurenta si exclusiva de la Capitol Records din America de Nord, sub denumirea de “Beatles ‘65”. Albumul marcheaza plecarea de la tonul optimist al lucrarilor anterioare ale trupei, partial datorita oboselii dupa o serie de turnee care i-au fixat ca fenomen mondial in 1964. Cantecele introduc stari mai intunecate si versuri mai introspective, cu John Lennon adoptand o perspectiva autobiografica in compozitii, ca “I’m a Loser’ si “No Reply”. Albumul reflecta de asemenea influentele gemene ale muzicii country si a lui Bob Dylan, pe care cei de la Beatles l-au intalnit in New York in august 1964.
Trupa a inregistrat albumul la EMI Studios in Londra intre turnee si angajamentele radio. Partial, ca rezultat al programarii agitate, doar opt piese sunt compozitii originale, celelalte fiind preluari de la artisti ca si Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly si Little Richard, pentru a complete albumul. Sesiunile de inregistrare au produs un single ce nu apartine albumului, “I Feel Fine” pe o fata si “She’s a Woman” pe cealalta.
In Marea Britanie “Beatles for Sale” a stat pe locul 1 timp de 11 saptamani din cele 46 cat a fost in top 20.Albumul a avut un succes similar in Australia unde preluarea dupa Chuck Berry la “Rock and Roll Music” a ajuns pe primul loc in clasamentele single-urilor. Unul dintre cantecele omise pe versiunea din Statele Unite, “Eight Days a Week”, a ajuns al saptelea nr.1 al trupei in Statele unite, dupa lansarea lui in februarie 1965. “Beatles for Sale” nu a fost lansat in Statele Unite pana in 1987 cand catalogul Beatles a fot standardizat pentru lansare pe CD.

The Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand - Performed Live On The Ed Sullivan Show 2/9/64

“I Want to Hold Your Hand” was the first Beatles’ record to top both the UK and the US charts. It was also their first to be recorded on a 4-track, as opposed to the usual 2-track, tape machine. The Beatles had the song well rehearsed when they made the first of 17 takes on October 17th 1963.
Following The Beatles’ historic appearance on The Ed Sullivan show on February 9th, the single – already at No.1 in the charts – gained further momentum. They taped a performance of the song earlier in the day of their live appearance and it was shown on the Sullivan show of February 23rd, which helped maintain the song’s popularity. This avalanche of publicity, engineered by Brian Epstein, helped the single to stay at the top for seven weeks, which made it the longest-running No.1 of their career to date (until ‘Hey Jude’).

“I Want to Hold Your Hand” a fost prima inregistrare Beatles care va ajunge pe primul loc in clasamentele din Marea Britanie si Statele Unite. A fost de asemenea prima lor inregistrare pe 4 piste, fata de cea uzuala pe 2 piste. Beatles au repetat bine cantecul cand au facut prima din cele 17 preluari pe 17 octombrie 1963.

Aparitia lor istorica la spectacolul lui Ed Sullivan din 9 februarie, single-ul-deja pe primul loc in clasamente- a fost un impuls pentru viitor. Au inregistrat si mai devereme in acea zi cantecul, inregistrare difuzata in spectacolul din 23 februarie, care a ajutat la mentinerea popularitatii cantecului. Aceasta avalansa de publicitate, pusa la cale de Brian Epstein, a ajutat single-ul sa stea pe primul loc 7 saptamani, ceea ce l-a facut cel mai de durata numar 1 al carierei lor la acel timp (pana la “Hey Jude”).

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (Full album 1964)

“A Hard Day's Night” is the third studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 10 July 1964, with side one containing songs from the soundtrack to their film of the same name. The American version of the album was released two weeks earlier, on 26 June 1964 by United Artists Records, with a different track listing. In contrast to their first two albums, all 13 tracks on “A Hard Day's Night” were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney showcasing the development of their songwriting talents. The album includes the title track, with its distinct opening chord, and the previously released "Can't Buy Me Love", both transatlantic number-one singles for the band.
The title of the album was the accidental creation of drummer Ringo Starr. According to Lennon in a 1980 interview with Playboy magazine: "I was going home in the car and Dick Lester [director of the movie] suggested the title, 'Hard Day's Night' from something Ringo had said. I had used it in “In His Own Write”, but it was an off-the-cuff remark by Ringo. You know, one of those malapropisms. A Ringo-ism, where he said it not to be funny ... just said it. So Dick Lester said, 'We are going to use that title.'"

“A Hard Day’s Night” este al treilea album de studio al trupei engleze de rock Beatles, lansat pe 10 iulie 1964, cu fata 1 continand cantece de pe muzica filmului lor cu acelasi titlu. Versiunea americana a albumului a fost lansata doua saptamani mai devreme, pe 26 iunie 1964, de catre United Artists Records, cu o lista de piese diferita. In contrast cu primele lor doua albume, toate cele 13 piese de pe "A “ard Day’s Night” au fost scrise de John Lennon si Paul McCartney, demontrand dezvoltarea talentelor lor de compozitori si textieri. Albumul include piesa omonima, cu acordurile ei distincte din deschidere, sip e cea lansata anterior “Can’t Buy Me Love”, ambele devenite numarul 1 peste ocean la single-uri.
Titlul albumului a fost creatia accidental a bateristului Ringo Starr. Conform lui Lennon, intr-un interviu din 1980 pentru revista Playboy :”Mergeam spre casa cu masina si Dick Lester (regizorul filmului) a sugerat titlul albumului din ceva ce Ringo spusese. Am folosit asta in “In His Own Words”, dar a fost o remarca “scoasa din maneca” de catre Ringo. Stii, o expresie folosita gresit, un “ringoism”, unde a spus-o el nu era amuzant…doar a spus-o. Asa ca Dick Lester a spus - Vom folosi asta ca titlu.”

The Beatles - Abbey Road (Full Album 1969)

“Abbey Road” is the eleventh studio album by English rock band the Beatles, released on 26 September 1969 by Apple Records. The recording sessions for the album were the last in which all four Beatles participated. Although “Let It Be” was the final album that the Beatles completed before the band's dissolution in April 1970, most of the album had been recorded before the “Abbey Road” sessions began. A two-sided hit single from the album, "Something" backed with "Come Together", released in October, topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US.
“Abbey Road” is a rock album that incorporates genres such as blues, pop, and progressive rock, and it makes prominent use of the Moog synthesizer and the Leslie speaker. Side two contains a medley of song fragments edited together to form a single piece. The album was recorded amid a more enjoyable atmosphere than the “Get Back/Let It Be” sessions earlier in the year, but there were still frequent disagreements within the band. John Lennon had privately left the group by the time the album was released and McCartney publicly quit the following year.
Although “Abbey Road” was an immediate commercial success and reached  No. 1 in the UK and US, it initially received mixed reviews, some critics describing its music as inauthentic and bemoaning the production's artificial effects. Many critics now view the album as the Beatles' best and rank it as one of the greatest albums of all time. In particular, George Harrison's contributions, "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun", are considered to be among the best songs he wrote for the group. The album's cover, which features the four band members walking across a zebra crossing outside Abbey Road Studios, has become one of the most famous and imitated images in the history of popular music.

“Abbey Road” este al unsprezecelea album de studio al trupei engleze de rock Beatles, lansat pe 26 septembrie 1969 de catre Apple Records. Sesiunile de inregistrare pentru album au fost ultimele in care au participat cei patru membri. Desi “Let It Be” a fost ultimul album publicat de Beatles inainte de dezmembrare in aprilie 1970, cea mai mare parte a albumului fusese inregistrata inainte de sesiunile de la “Abbey Road”. Un single cu “Something” pe fata 1 si “Come Together” pe fata 2 si lansat in octombrie, a ajuns in varful clasamentului Billboard Hot 100 din Statele Unite.
“Abbey Road” este un album rock care incorporeaza genuri ca blues, pop si rock progresiv si care foloseste cu proeminenta sunetul sintetizat prin moog si deformarea vocii cu dispozitivul Leslie speaker. Partea a doua contine un amestec de fragmente de cantece editate impreuna pentru a forma o singura piesa. Albumul a fost inregistrat intr-o atmosfera mai placuta decat sesiunea de mai devreme din acel an pentru “Get Back/Let It Be”, dar au existat totusi frecvente dezacorduri in interiorul trupei. John Lennon parasise, in mod confidential, grupul la data lansarii albumului si McCartney a parasit grupul in mod public in anul urmator.
Desi “Abbey Road” a fost un succes commercial imediat si a ajuns pe locul 1 in clasamente si in Marea Britanie si in Statele Unite, initial a primit recenzii amestecate, cativa critici descriind muzica de pe album ca nefiind autentica si deplangand efectele artificiale ale productiei. Multi critici il vad acum ca cel mai bun album Beatles si il claseaza ca unul dintre cele mai bune din toate timpurile. In particular, contributiile lui George Harrison “Here Comes the Sun” si “Something” sunt considerate printre cele mai bune cantece scrise de el pentru grup. Coperta albumului, care ii arata pe cei patru traversand strada pe zebra langa studiourile Abbey Road, a devenit una dintre cele mai faimoase si mai imitate imagini din istoria muzicii populare.
