The BEATLES (Official Thread)

[LG]

I have nothing but respect for the BBC broadcasts, they have set the bar extremely high for any other similar shows to follow.

But I just want to listen to the music these days more than dig into all the details that went into making the albums/songs I love. It's a matter of time now, I spend it carefully more than ever before.

As much as I do admit I'm always very thrilled to hear stories and recordings detailing the creation of the Beatles many wonderous works,I can certainly see where you're coming from,Grendl.Sometimes underneath all the hullabaloo of the band's massive impacts on entertainment and culture,it is entirely too easy to forget about the band's original precepts.They were a tremendously talented and motivated outfit who provided the world with a tumultuously rich catalog full of timelessly great music.That's what sometimes we need to do.Just listen...

Jackie Lomax passed away on September 15th at the age of 69. He was one of the first artists signed to Apple Records, The Beatles' label. His single "Sour Milk Sea" was one of the first four singles released by Apple. "Sour Milk Sea" was written by George Harrison. The band backing Lomax on the song included Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton and Nicky Hopkins. RIP Jackie.

BBC Vol 2...Can't Wait!

Was Volume 1 released before? I just went on Amazon & it says Remastered volume. 1 to be released on 11/11.

Anyway, I'm kind of looking forward to these especially because of the covers of rock & roll tunes( chuck Berry). The one thing I worry about if there will be talking over the beginnings of songs as there was on the Yard birds BBC disc.

It's funny because I was in Badfinger phase a couple of weeks ago & was on Amazon looking at Badfinger cd's. I came across an upcoming BBC release & was shocked to see them covering Chuck Berry & the Beatles...then I realized it was the Beatles BBC CD I clicked on!

Yeah BBC 1 is being remastered bucky...I have the original in a double jewel case. I'm sure this is gonna be better packaging as well

Oh no problem man, I thought this would have been something you would have already had, so now I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of it. You're gonna love it and hear it remastered for your first time...cool

I've always enjoyed not so great quality of performances from the Star Club in Germany so I'm sure I'll love it!

The Beatles’ U.S. Debut to Receive 50th Anniversary TV Tribute



The Beatles‘ historic U.S. debut on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ will be saluted with a TV special on its 50th anniversary early next year. The Recording Academy has lined up a bunch of artists to pay tribute to the monumental event.

The special, ‘The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles,’ will even air on the exact date — 50 years later, of course — of that life-altering night: Feb. 9. While no specific artists have been named yet, the event will tape on Jan. 27, 2014, the day after the 56th annual Grammy Awards. So expect plenty of big names.

The two-hour program will include performances by modern-day artists covering the same songs the Beatles played on that night in 1964. The show will also feature covers of other Beatles songs spanning their entire career, as well clips from the original Sullivan broadcast.

Additionally, “archival material” is promised in the official press release, as are hosts who will “help highlight and contextualize the musical, cultural and historical impact of the group and this legendary performance.”

Also, if you’re not doing anything on Jan. 27, tickets will be available to the public for the recording of the show. If you can’t make it in person, CBS will air ‘The Night That Changed America’ at 8PM on Feb. 9, 1964. So set your DVRs now.
