And, as the title implies, there is much more. The book also covers the records released from the Beatles 1961 Hamburg recordings, as well as the other singles and albums released from February through October of 1964, primarily in the United States and Canada.</div><div><br /></div><div> The book also contains the usual chapters on the EMI recording sessions for the singles and albums, and the album covers. And, like the other books in the Beatles Album Series, the book contains chapters on the news, music and films of the era to place the Beatles debut film and its related records in their proper context. And, of course, fan recollections. </div><div><br /></div><div>"The Beatles A Hard Day's Night & More," together with its companion book "The Beatles Please Please Me to With The Beatles," provide the full story of the records and events that fueled and maintained the first phase of Beatlemania.

Also John asking Brian Epstein what he thought of the show.</p><p>- Recordings from Manila inc thoughts on the hotel ‘pretty crappy’.</p><p>- Extensive recordings from July 1966 whilst in India including the group experimenting with Indian musical instruments.</p><p>- Extensive recordings of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - possibly recorded later than ‘66- approx 38 minutes worth.</p><p>- Recordings of Ringo solo with piano performing ‘Don’t Pass Me By’, an early version without full lyrics.</p><p>- Recordings of Ringo at piano performing two likely unreleased demos - one with refrain ‘have you seen the tulips grow’ and one seemingly a version of 'I Bought A Picasso'</p><p>Provenance: purchased by the vendor as part of a collection of Beatles memorabilia.

The studio won’t have a sense of the films’ budget until scripts are written, but this is likely a large-scale undertaking, given that there are four separate period films, and Mendes was aligned with Sony on theatrical being essential for the project.</i></p><p><i>...Author Bob Spitz says that The Beatles, his best-selling 2005 nonfiction book, has been optioned six times but has not made it to screen, adding that his team is connecting with the filmmakers in the hope that his copious interviews will inform the scripts. “Everybody has heard the legend of the Beatles, but their individual life stories are powerful and little-known,” says Spitz. “Sam’s idea is a great project, and I wish I had thought of it.”</i></p><p><i>Attorney James Sammataro — a partner at Pryor Cashman, which represents labels including Sony Music — refers to The Beatles and Michael Jackson as “the two Holy Grails of music biopics” because of their elusiveness and the expense of music rights involved for filmmakers. Lionsgate’s Jackson film Michael, starring the superstar’s nephew Jaafar Jackson, comes out next year. (Sony Music acquired rights to most Beatles songs from Jackson’s estate in 2016.) “Historically for artists, there wasn’t a lot of upside in biopics,” Sammataro says, referring to the movies’ impact on song sales. “The more recent move toward biopics is ancillary to an overall changing viewpoint about monetizing music, which is: The more exposure, the better.”</i></p><p><i>...While The Beatles, as the biggest-selling music act of all time, per the RIAA, have legions of devoted fans, motivating today’s audiences to leave the couch for four interconnected films of any type could be a tough task.</i></p><p><i>Still, an exhibition source suggests such films are better suited for streaming and compares the all-in gamble to Kevin Costner’s Horizon saga, with Warner Bros. intending to release the first two Western films theatrically this year before following with two more. Says the individual about the plan for a quartet of Beatles movies: “It’s an audacious play for a subset of fans.”</i></p><p><i>But Rothman believes big swings are what the industry needs to help get its feet back on the ground. “Much of what we struggle with in our business right now is familiarity,” he says. “How often do you get an approach that is entirely original?” </i></p>jfire2http://www.blogger.com/profile/09933545062618873254noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120988349585644158.post-84805061609089909362024-02-26T14:44:00.004-05:002024-02-26T14:44:29.147-05:00Pattie Boyd to Auction Letters from George Harrison, Eric Clapton — Including Original 'Layla' LP Cover Art<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCxF8uLWkfAeAJuVYeErt2jzkLg4_kIza014mr2lxsh5TNrmu1zKi0br8BMBWsU8Wshjj5gnu47_48z0_g_7rCffL4eyQGTTXT96pHzGJ0fVpdbyztk2jXc-yBb6kUIL7Cphki3921WWWeSniNIDE1UeFuJM8Xbipao2LqXhIXDDUYf8gMnpA3HO2H5WqA/s757/Screenshot%202024-02-26%20at%2012.41.49%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="757" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCxF8uLWkfAeAJuVYeErt2jzkLg4_kIza014mr2lxsh5TNrmu1zKi0br8BMBWsU8Wshjj5gnu47_48z0_g_7rCffL4eyQGTTXT96pHzGJ0fVpdbyztk2jXc-yBb6kUIL7Cphki3921WWWeSniNIDE1UeFuJM8Xbipao2LqXhIXDDUYf8gMnpA3HO2H5WqA/w400-h316/Screenshot%202024-02-26%20at%2012.41.49%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Christie's Auction House is now listing more than 100 items from the collection of Pattie Boyd, former wife of George Harrison and Eric Clapton. <p></p><p>The auction includes photos and clothing, along letters the capture the love triangle between Boyd and the two musicians, and include artwork from both Harrison and Clapton. Also up for bid is the original cover art to the Derek and the Dominoes <i>Layla</i> album, by Théodore Frandsen de Schomberg, which Clapton gifted to George.</p><p>From an interview with Boyd on the <a href="https://www.christies.com/en/stories/highlights-from-the-pattie-boyd-collection-9e41b87a9ddf400e8eec0187d17ad463">Christie's site</a>:</p><p><i>Boyd served as the inspiration for many of Harrison’s songs, including I Need You, For You Blue and Something, which Frank Sinatra called one of the greatest love songs ever written. She also played an important role in The Beatles’ adoption of vegetarianism, meditation and psychedelics, which took the couple from bars in London to ashrams in the Himalayas.</i></p><p><i>Things began to unravel around the time the couple moved into Friar Park, a Neo-Gothic mansion in Oxfordshire, in the spring of 1970. A letter arrived, which, in tiny, neat rows of words mostly missing their capital letters, read: ‘Dearest L, i am writing this note to you, with the main purpose of ascertaining your feelings towards a subject well known to both of us…’ It was signed ‘all my love, E.’</i></p><p><i>‘I had no idea it was from Eric. I thought it was a letter from a weird fan,’ Boyd recalls. ‘I even showed it to George!’ The penny dropped that evening, when Clapton called to ask Boyd if she had received any mail from him. ‘I said, “Oh my god, I didn’t realise it was from you!”</i></p><p><i>‘I have kept the letter ever since in a little box filled with trinkets and things, and when I was writing my autobiography, Wonderful Today, I brought it out. It’s a very beautifully written letter, but the writing is so small — it takes up not even a third of the page. It’s like he was rather shy about writing it. It’s like a whisper instead of a talk.’</i></p><p><i>The letter is one of several being offered online as part of The Patti Boyd Collection, which runs from 8 to 22 March 2024. The auction also includes song lyrics, photographs and handmade mementoes that offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of some of music’s most influential and iconic figures.</i></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ljkELUmeHq3K4D8lyafo0JCAjT3CsX6b1_MWwGrgodCIoC8ORr0fYP85q9gLK9a7zOQQVO2nghEBplE86ceQ7VagBssrGPIMnKVF3uSxrkSjq9Ox8F4kaftOXn1bHTmttL9B1lhII56eYdG8MBJPXuxtJnNuq4ZB6u27hyDm6Pz2gosIed56osL_xOuw/s702/Screenshot%202024-02-26%20at%2012.39.51%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="702" data-original-width="588" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ljkELUmeHq3K4D8lyafo0JCAjT3CsX6b1_MWwGrgodCIoC8ORr0fYP85q9gLK9a7zOQQVO2nghEBplE86ceQ7VagBssrGPIMnKVF3uSxrkSjq9Ox8F4kaftOXn1bHTmttL9B1lhII56eYdG8MBJPXuxtJnNuq4ZB6u27hyDm6Pz2gosIed56osL_xOuw/w335-h400/Screenshot%202024-02-26%20at%2012.39.51%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="335" /></a></div><p></p><p><i>...After Boyd and Harrison split, Clapton gifted the Beatle the painting La jeune fille au bouquet by Emile Théodore Frandsen de Schomberg, which had served as the album artwork for </i>Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs<i>. The portrait of a blonde sitter with flowers in her hair, which Clapton associated with Boyd, was a form of compensation.</i></p><p><i>‘Eric had been recording Layla in the south of France when he saw this painting, and he fell in love with it,’ says Boyd. ‘He thought it represented Layla, and so asked the family who owned the painting if he could have it, and they said yes.’</i></p><p><i>Boyd married Clapton in 1979. Amazingly, the trio remained close friends, with Harrison even referring to Clapton as his ‘husband-in-law’.</i></p><p><i>Boyd was also the source of inspiration for Clapton’s songs Bell Bottom Blues, She’s Waiting and Wonderful Tonight. The latter he penned while Boyd was deciding what to wear for a party at Jimmy Page’s house. ‘I went downstairs rather sheepishly, expecting Eric to be furious with me for taking so long,’ she recalls. ‘Instead, he said, “Listen to what I’ve written”, and it was Wonderful Tonight. It was so magical.’</i></p><p><i>...Boyd adds that deciding to let go of the objects coming to auction at Christie’s has been a cathartic process. ‘I thought, “Do I need them? Do I need to keep going into Pandora’s Box?” I’ve enjoyed them for many, many years, and now it’s time for other people to see and enjoy them. It’s only right I should pass them on.’</i></p><p><i>The music, on the other hand, will remain with Boyd forever. ‘When Layla comes on the radio, it still gives me a jolt. It’s part of my being.’</i></p><p>You can see items from the collection <a href="https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/pattie-boyd-collection/lots/3508">here</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvxc7Wn88YGr61_ut9BE3RMrheF5jIK79SRIkyeiUQXNxVqA2LwccCKpaIcuYnNAjkZ5KSL5QUCdrz3UC91b7HFAxBBSE3uXkXEl8pahbFa_7PJxmuNIhY9-Ccwb2Zkf-kA_2pTalQXF-2BqIxDdPFN85J_4ajFzeGgRasP3xmyIVV2srrRHTYY5BsnBqJ/s561/Screenshot%202024-02-26%20at%2012.41.22%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="561" data-original-width="385" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvxc7Wn88YGr61_ut9BE3RMrheF5jIK79SRIkyeiUQXNxVqA2LwccCKpaIcuYnNAjkZ5KSL5QUCdrz3UC91b7HFAxBBSE3uXkXEl8pahbFa_7PJxmuNIhY9-Ccwb2Zkf-kA_2pTalQXF-2BqIxDdPFN85J_4ajFzeGgRasP3xmyIVV2srrRHTYY5BsnBqJ/w275-h400/Screenshot%202024-02-26%20at%2012.41.22%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="275" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>jfire2http://www.blogger.com/profile/09933545062618873254noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120988349585644158.post-72250755760950797692024-02-25T10:57:00.001-05:002024-02-25T10:57:37.023-05:00Video: Happy Birthday, GeorgeThe Beatles pay tribute to George on what would've been his 81st birthday, give or take a day. <div><br /></div><div>(Relatively late in his life, George was told he was born shortly before midnight on Feb. 24, although birth and baptism records showed Feb. 25)<div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

Richie Unterberger focuses on the band’s “virtual takeover of the American music business” and their North American releases while Brian Ward details what happened when they hit Florida. Oh, and a certain Paul McCartney provides the photos, via his recent book of ’64-era images, Eyes Of The Storm. The icing on the Fabs cake is a Beatles ’64 discography by John Coleman – how many do you own? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Elsewhere, Martin Rev of Suicide talks six decades of synth experimentation, we remember power pop supremo Dwight Twilley, ex-members of X-Ray Spex recall their sax-punk heyday, Spencer Leigh explores the weird and wonderful world of Anthony Newley, and Shed Seven celebrate their first No 1 album with an RC interview. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In our News pages, we bring you a guitar signed by Elvis and The Beatles, we chat to Albert Hammond, and we detail all the vinyl release dates you need.

Jim Reid of The Jesus & Mary Chain is in the RC Interview hot seat. There’s a celebration of 60s blues. Plus, interviews with Elbow and US ‘ambient metal’ exponents Earth as well as new ‘discodelic’ soul trio Say She She.

Impressive piece of post-Beatles history. This example states that Jackwill S.A. will handle the promotion of Apple Corps Limited throughout the world excluding England and Eire. Time duration for the contract is 8 years for a fee of 40,000 pounds per year beginning January 1st, 1975.</p><p>"Jackwill S.A. will procure and provide such services for the purpose of promoting and exploiting the ACL commercial phonograph records produced by ACL for the benefit of ACL as ACL shall request throughout the world outside the United Kingdom and Eire." All four Beatles have signed this document beautifully. John Lennon has signed in black ballpoint pen. Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo has signed "R. Starkey" his legal name as required on all legal documents. R.D.A. Willis has signed on behalf of Jackwill S.A.</p><p>This is to date the last known Beatles record promotion contract signed by all four members of the band. The Beatles were no longer a musical group but they still conducted business on behalf of Apple Corps Limited. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJdcLJWoZtW4hr8rLwc-qiDDVE5S81Ht55bxrRArVYToGnZjbLI5UcL_WfPQkqz3_dM_jORWkng8brd-biZLM040mrpBlmSKP34lBL8zaP2jGc7b8AAXTMZkrSsPRMRuuukb9e-aVLcVwvIdctsogeNzCC7d7MXiARRdy11_kla9V6cElLdwqVtymJA8B3/s3000/contract.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1574" data-original-width="3000" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJdcLJWoZtW4hr8rLwc-qiDDVE5S81Ht55bxrRArVYToGnZjbLI5UcL_WfPQkqz3_dM_jORWkng8brd-biZLM040mrpBlmSKP34lBL8zaP2jGc7b8AAXTMZkrSsPRMRuuukb9e-aVLcVwvIdctsogeNzCC7d7MXiARRdy11_kla9V6cElLdwqVtymJA8B3/w640-h336/contract.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>jfire2http://www.blogger.com/profile/09933545062618873254noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120988349585644158.post-17478691658745671172024-02-20T14:23:00.002-05:002024-02-20T14:23:06.246-05:00New Issue of Beatlefan Out Now!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIaPqsKlfLG4xu9pwiyu67Rk6qrdnJCkEsX-4dDLKWRIrsI4DZs6IqVSNcq2O5svup7VmcTyht9Pp8CZBiMxTOKv8zVxJqH9W8LRWzRs79Xw4HgaXeFY-Nm-S2f8Cvr104dI61DGeVK5cE7xyWbjguUQK4W3nuJLDSFBkPX4vvyQOBqU9oohe8fbqJlxvG/s720/428619732_10159328275947245_5517632228677229851_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="519" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIaPqsKlfLG4xu9pwiyu67Rk6qrdnJCkEsX-4dDLKWRIrsI4DZs6IqVSNcq2O5svup7VmcTyht9Pp8CZBiMxTOKv8zVxJqH9W8LRWzRs79Xw4HgaXeFY-Nm-S2f8Cvr104dI61DGeVK5cE7xyWbjguUQK4W3nuJLDSFBkPX4vvyQOBqU9oohe8fbqJlxvG/w289-h400/428619732_10159328275947245_5517632228677229851_n.jpg" width="289" /></a></div><br />Including some stuff from yours truly. <p></p><p>From publisher Bill King:</p><p>Beatlefan #266 marks 60 years of Beatlemania in the U.S. with Al Sussman looking back at The Beatles’ greatest year, while Mark Lapidos and I offer fan time capsules from 10 years after the Fabs’ arrival in America. </p><p>We also have Ken Sharp’s interviews with Ken Womack (about his Mal Evans book) and producer Giles Martin (on the expanded Red and Blue albums and demixing). </p><p>Also, I continue my look back at Beatlefan’s first year, Rip Rense takes a deep dive on the “new” Beatles song, Ken Orth writes about collecting Beatles “look-alike” album covers, </p><p>Belmo reports on an improved version of the recording of The Beatles live at Stowe School and John Firehammer talks with Laurie Kaye about John Lennon’s final interview. </p><p>Plus, of course, we have the latest news (including Ringo Starr’s plans for a new album) and an extended section of reviews of recent books, video and more! </p><p>For more information on how you can get this issue, or subscribe to Beatlefan, email goodypress@gmail.com or go to beatlefan.com.</p>jfire2http://www.blogger.com/profile/09933545062618873254noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120988349585644158.post-9305086329547608922024-02-20T09:38:00.005-05:002024-02-20T09:38:50.501-05:00Biopics of All Four Beatles on the Way from Apple and Director Sam Medes<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgflDrdreRyQQ1w2X3NyvDOOrPdktXe3hr5bzvgfszY5ATCBeqOC9qFyDnHhoWvu_izVO0pD7PvawConFxtAk0LK2JS52E1wOObuhT-DGyrlYwAiDboh2RIyeYzIpNBrt25fWm9YzXhHZzUAKVDzKtctdnuujY5EIWnfJzOwHssH1nr_u9fWARBnKDY94UR/s2011/beatles.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2011" data-original-width="2000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgflDrdreRyQQ1w2X3NyvDOOrPdktXe3hr5bzvgfszY5ATCBeqOC9qFyDnHhoWvu_izVO0pD7PvawConFxtAk0LK2JS52E1wOObuhT-DGyrlYwAiDboh2RIyeYzIpNBrt25fWm9YzXhHZzUAKVDzKtctdnuujY5EIWnfJzOwHssH1nr_u9fWARBnKDY94UR/w398-h400/beatles.jpeg" width="398" /></a></div><br />Official news release:<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Sam Mendes / Neal Street Productions To Make Landmark Beatles Biopic Project For Sony Pictures Entertainment</b></p><p><i>Four feature films, one from each band member's perspective, will have global theatrical release in 2027</i></p><p>Culver City, CA (February 20th, 2024) -- Today, Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE), Sam Mendes, and Neal Street Productions announced a groundbreaking creative endeavor to tell the story of The Beatles with four distinct theatrical feature films. The project marks the first time Apple Corps Ltd. and The Beatles – Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison – have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film.</p><p>As conceived by Mendes, who will direct, the four theatrical feature films – one from each band member’s point-of-view – will intersect to tell the astonishing story of the greatest band in history. </p><p>SPE will finance and distribute worldwide with full theatrical windows in 2027. The dating cadence of the films, the details of which will be shared closer to release, will be innovative and groundbreaking. </p><p>Mendes will direct all four films and produce alongside his Neal Street Productions partner Pippa Harris and Neal Street’s Julie Pastor. Jeff Jones will executive produce for Apple Corps Ltd.</p><p>“I’m honoured to be telling the story of the greatest rock band of all time, and excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies,” said Sam Mendes.</p><p>“We intend this to be a uniquely thrilling, and epic cinematic experience: four films, told from four different perspectives which tell a single story about the most celebrated band of all time,” said Pippa Harris. “To have The Beatles’ and Apple Corps’ blessing to do this is an immense privilege. From our first meeting with Tom Rothman and Elizabeth Gabler, it was clear that they shared both our passion and ambition for this project, and we can’t think of a more perfect home than Sony Pictures.”</p><p>“Apple Corps is delighted to collaborate with Sam, Pippa and Julie to explore each Beatle’s unique story and to bring them together in a suitably captivating and innovative way,” said Apple Corps Ltd. CEO Jeff Jones. “Sony Pictures’ enthusiastic support, championing the project’s scope and creative vision from the start, has been invaluable for all of us.” </p><p>“I know I speak for our CEO Tony Vinciquerra, who was instrumental in making this happen, and every Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group colleague around the world when I say: ‘yeah, yeah, yeah!’” said Tom Rothman, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures’ Motion Picture Group. “Theatrical movie events today must be culturally seismic.
