			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- this will appear at the top of the post --></p>
<p>This week on #askNat, I give my best answer to a question I received a few weeks back from Andrea T. from Wilkes-Barre, PA. Andrea asks:</p>
<blockquote><p>Over the years, I&#8217;ve heard a number of different versions of &#8220;Across the Universe.&#8221;  Do you know exactly how many versions were recorded by The Beatles?</p></blockquote>
<p>Officially there are five versions of &#8220;Across The Universe&#8221; by The Beatles. Here is a list in order of the date they were recorded.</p>
<ol>
<li> Take 2 &#8211; Available now on <em>The Beatles Anthology 2</em>, this version includes two guitars, a table harp and a tamboura overlaid with a flanging effect and a superb lead vocal by John. It was recorded on February 3, 1968 and marked &#8220;best.&#8221;</li>
<li> Original mono mix of the master &#8211; This is only found on <em>The Beatles Mono Masters</em> double CD that is packaged with the <em>Beatles In Mono</em> box set. Recorded mostly on February 4, 1968 with some overdubs added on February 8, 1968. There were plans for it to be a single but later Paul McCartney&#8217;s &#8220;Lady Madonna&#8221; was chosen instead.</li>
<li> Wildlife version &#8211; The same take used on the master (take 8) but with bird sound effects added on October 2, 1969 for release on the U.K. charity LP <em>No One&#8217;s Gonna Change Our World</em>. George Martin also sped up the pitch a half step from the original key of D. Currently available on The Beatles <em>Past Masters</em> 2-CD set.</li>
<li> Stereo remix of take 7 &#8211; This version was mixed for release on the CD <em>Let It Be…Naked</em> and pares the song down to John&#8217;s vocal and acoustic guitar, some tom-tom from Ringo, and George&#8217;s tamboura gliding in at the halfway point. The song fades with a lot of echo.</li>
<li> LP version &#8211; The mix officially released on the <em>Let It Be</em> album/CD is the one that Phil Spector mixed with orchestration (cellos, violas, more acoustic guitar, violins, trumpets, trombones and harp). Phil also added backing vocals from a choir and slowed down the song from the key of D to C-sharp.</li>
</ol>

<p>Other versions/bootlegs: While only 5 official releases of this song by The Beatles exist, there are many more accounts out there from bootlegs. Most of the bootlegged versions were sourced from the film rolls that were made during the <em>Get Back Sessions</em> of January 1969. Specifically, in addition to the 5 official versions of the song, there are 29 others in my personal collection (and I don&#8217;t claim to have them all!). One interesting alternate mix of the song, known as the &#8216;Hums Wild&#8217; version, was featured on the BROW back in January (2012). You can check that out <a href="http://www.thebeatlesrarity.com/2012/01/02/beatles-rarity-of-the-week-across-the-universe-the-experimental-take-7/" title="Across The Universe" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p>Welcome to The Beatles Rarity Of The Week. John Lennon&#8217;s <em>White Album</em> track &#8220;Happiness Is A Warm Gun&#8221; is the subject of this week&#8217;s offering. </p>
<p>John referred to the song as a pastiche, consisting of several different song fragments he had going around in his head in 1968, as identified below: </p>
<ol>
<li> The first section includes a fingerpicking style of guitar he had recently picked up in Rishikesh India with the help of Donovan, played with a lilting pattern and including the line &#8220;She&#8217;s not a girl who misses much…&#8221;</li>
<li> The second section includes some lyrics supplied by Beatles press officer Derek Taylor which he came up with during an acid trip that he experienced with John (&#8220;She&#8217;s well acquainted with the touch of a velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane…&#8221;). </li>
<p><span id="more-6326"></span></p>
<li> The third section came from a song fragment called &#8220;I Need A Fix&#8221; built around a nice and mean sounding guitar riff.</li>
<li> John follows this up with the fourth &#8220;Mother Superior Jumped The Gun&#8221; section.</li>
<li> The fifth and final section sends off the song with a doo-wop approach of singing the title with full backing vocal accompaniment from John, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. This inspiration for this section came from the title of an American firearms magazine title of <em>Happiness Is A Warm Gun In Your Hand</em> that John was shown by producer George Martin. </li>
</ol>
<p>With each section comes a change in the time signature, yet despite it&#8217;s schizophrenic nature, it came together quite well and was much admired by the other Beatles. In fact, Paul McCartney mentioned in an interview that it was his favorite <em>White Album</em> song. </p>
<p>Forty-five takes of the song were recorded on September 23, 1968 and twenty-five more the following day. Take 53 was chosen as the best of these except for the final section which was edited to it from take 65. Overdubs were added from this version to create the master. If listening to the album or CD of the <em>White Album</em>, the edit between the takes occurs at 1:34. </p>
<p>For this week&#8217;s BROW, I am sharing one of the rough mix tapes that isolates one of the overdub tracks. It contains organ for the first two sections, distorted electric guitar for the third section, hi-hat and tambourine for the fourth section, and piano for the final section. These can be heard in the released stereo and mono mixes (centered in stereo) but since the organ and piano are quite buried there, I thought you may appreciate hearing these parts of the mix a bit clearer in this isolation account. As an added bonus, I&#8217;ve prefaced this with John&#8217;s acoustic guitar demo of the song recorded on May 25, 1969 while at his and Yoko Ono&#8217;s Canadian Bed-In at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto. On this same day John was recording demos for his anthem &#8220;<a href="http://www.thebeatlesrarity.com/2012/05/11/record-roundup-3-give-peace-a-chance-the-first-plastic-ono-band-record-1969/" title="Record Roundup # 3 link - Give Peace A Chance" target="_blank">Give Peace A Chance</a>&#8221; just one week before recording the final version in Montreal, Quebec. </p>
<p>A very special thanks goes out to Spike who requested this week&#8217;s BROW and waited patiently for me to get to it.</p>

<p>Welcome to the Beatles Rarity Of The Week. The Beatles spent much of their day on January 25, 1969 recording George&#8217;s Harrison&#8217;s fun little twelve bar blues ditty &#8220;For You Blue.&#8221; Along with a lot of practice rehearsals in between takes, they recorded twelve proper takes on that day and it was the only day they worked on the song throughout the rest of the their time working as a complete band. George plays acoustic guitar while singing the vocal in a corner of the room while Ringo Starr steadily delivers the drumbeat. Paul McCartney played piano on the track with paper laid across the inside of the piano to give it a less dominating sound. John Lennon brings the track to life with the lap steel guitar accompaniment which he plays using a shotgun shell as a bottleneck. </p>
<p>The version of &#8220;For You Blue&#8221; that we hear on the <em>Let It Be</em> album is take 7, however George rerecorded his vocal track nearly a year later on January 8th, 1970. A cleaner sounding mix of this same take and newer vocal was also used on 2003&#8242;s <em>Let It Be…Naked</em>.<span id="more-6298"></span> </p>
<p>This week&#8217;s BROW treats us to an alternate version prepared for use in the <em>Let It Be</em> film. This is actually an edit created from three other takes recorded on Jan. 25, 1969, including the main part of the song coming from one take previous to the one on the album  (i.e. take 6). Although a verse was trimmed off of the end, an extended instrumental intro is created by editing in part of the instrumental break from take 9. </p>

<p>Extra info: &#8220;For You Blue&#8221; had a working title of &#8220;George&#8217;s Blues (Because You&#8217;re Sweet And Lovely).&#8221; When Phil Spector remixed the song for inclusion on the Let It Be album, he added a spoken introduction by John Lennon taken from dialog recorded at Twickenham Studios in early January where John says &#8220;Queen says no to pot-smoking FBI members.&#8221; </p>

<p>This week BROW looks back at the early days of Paul McCartney &#038; Wings. Paul chose to limit his band&#8217;s live performances to his home continent during these years and play smaller venues such as universities and town halls, allowing time to &#8220;build up&#8221; Wings and make a name for themselves by getting at least a couple hit albums under their belts before attempting anything on a larger scale. He certainly did not want to rely on his clout as a former Beatle to sell Wings to the world and refused to include any Beatles music in any of the concert setlists of 1972-1973. It wasn&#8217;t until after the highly successful fourth Wings album <em>Venus And Mars</em> that Wings toured outside of Europe with a short Australian tour that included 7 shows over the first two weeks of November 1975. It wasn&#8217;t until 1976 when Wings peppered the setlist with songs from their newest <em>Wings At The Speed Of Sound</em> album and did a full fledged North American/European world tour, which yielded the only live Wings album. This was actually a triple album set titled <em>Wings Over America</em> which gave us a good 2-hour sampling of the live performances from the 1976 shows, however they were somewhat &#8220;doctored up&#8221; after the fact. <span id="more-6248"></span></p>
<p>For the period before <em>Wings Over America</em>, the only officially released live Wings performances would be two songs: </p>
<p>(1) a song called &#8220;The Mess&#8221; which was never released as a studio recording. The live performance was recorded at The Hague in Holland on August 21, 1972 and was issued as the b-side for the Wings single &#8220;My Love&#8221; in March 1973.</p>
<p>(2) a 1973 live Wings recording of the song &#8220;Wild Life&#8221; which appears over credits on the DVD set <em>The McCartney Years</em>.</p>
<p>Because of the deficit of commercially accessible early live recordings by Wings, I have occasionally put up something on TheBeatlesRarity to give us a taste of how they sounded back when they were playing the smaller shows and were still a new band (such as this <a href="http://www.thebeatlesrarity.com/2011/05/16/beatles-rarity-of-the-week-bip-bop-wings-live-in-switzerland/" title="Wings live in Switzerland" target="_blank">one</a>). This week&#8217;s BROW is another of those times. &#8220;Soily&#8221; is an all out rocker that was first heard on record as the last song on the <em>Wings Over America</em> LP set or the b-side to the &#8220;Maybe I&#8217;m Amazed&#8221; single taken from this set. It was part of Wings&#8217; stage repertoire all the way back in 1972, however the only official account of it from the studio is from an unreleased film by Paul called <em>One Hand Clapping</em> and issued as bonus material on a DVD packaged with Paul&#8217;s recent deluxe edition of his <em>Band On The Run</em> album. The recording presented here dates from July 10, 1973, when Wings were performing at City Hall in Newcastle, U.K. Unlike in 1976, when &#8220;Soily&#8221; was the concluding encore performance, here it was the show opener. The Wings line up at the time included Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Henry McCullough and Denny Seiwell.</p>

<p><img alt="Kisses On The Bottom cover art" src="http://www.mybeatlescollection.com/images/coverart/CD981.jpg" title="Kisses On The Bottom cover art" class="alignleft" width="125" height="125" />According to authorities in an unnamed deaf-led organization, Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman have used incorrect sign language gestures in Paul McCartney’s latest music video for his recent single &#8220;My Valentine&#8221; extracted from his <em>Kisses On The Bottom</em> album. Paul recruited the Hollywood stars to portray in sign language the lyrics to the song in a black-and-white promo that he directed himself. </p>
<p>However, deaf devotees have now pointed out two errors made by the actors: Portman signs the word “tampon” instead of “appear”  in the second verse while Depp makes the motion for “enemy” while attempting “valentine” at the song&#8217;s conclusion.<span id="more-6598"></span></p>
<p>A representative for The British Deaf Association has nevertheless praised the duo for their efforts.</p>
<p>A spokesperson said, “It’s great that famous people such as Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman are highlighting the use of sign language. Their use of it is more a poetic expression.</p>
<p>“The sign for tampon does seem to come up from both Johnny and Natalie in the pre-edited footage, which causes some confusion, especially as American and British sign languages are different.</p>
<p>“It would have been nice if genuine deaf people had been used. But it’s still great.”</p>

<p>Welcome to this week&#8217;s Beatles Rarity of the Week. One of the artists that was introduced in 1968 when The Beatles formed Apple Records was Mary Hopkin. Paul McCartney took an enthusiastic interest in the Welsh folk singer and her first single &#8220;Those Were The Days&#8221; was one of four that were among the first releases on the Apple label. Produced by Paul McCartney, 18-year old Mary had a #1 hit in the U.K (#2 on the Billboard chart in the U.S) with the record for five straight weeks during October and November of 1968. Paul went on to produce her debut album <em>Post Card</em> and write her follow up single &#8220;Goodbye&#8221;. When it came time for her to record it the following year, Paul acted as producer and also plays on the record as detailed below.</p>
<p>&#8220;Goodbye&#8221; was written by Paul and credited to Lennon-McCartney. On March 1-2, 1969, Paul accompanied Mary at London&#8217;s Morgan Studios for the recording session. Mary sang and played acoustic guitar, changing a few words in Paul&#8217;s final verse (from &#8220;sound of lonely drums&#8221; to &#8220;song of lonely love&#8221;). She also raised the key from &#8216;C&#8217; to &#8216;E&#8217; to better fit her vocal range. Paul added an acoustic guitar intro, bass, and slapped his lap as a percussion technique learned from Buddy Holly). He also put some drums on the record. Additional strings, horns and backing vocals were also overdubbed in. Mary&#8217;s recording of &#8220;Goodbye&#8221; is most easily found on the compilation CD <em>Come And Get It &#8211; The Best Of Apple Records</em> <span id="more-6203"></span>(Amazon link provided below). </p>
<p>For this week&#8217;s BROW I am featuring Paul&#8217;s original demo of the song recorded in December 1968. It was this recording that Paul gave to Mary so that she could learn the song and prepare her own rendition of it. Paul is playing all instruments in the demo. </p>

<p>Extra info: &#8220;Goodbye&#8221;, like it&#8217;s predecessor, would have also been a #1 single in the U.K. but was held out of the top spot for two weeks by another of Paul McCartney&#8217;s songs &#8211; The Beatles recording of &#8220;Get Back,&#8221; which held firm to the #1 spot during the entire month of May 1969. In the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, &#8220;Goodbye&#8221; peaked at #13.</p>

<p>Welcome to The Beatles Rarity Of The Week. There isn&#8217;t much to say about this week&#8217;s offering other than it is another of many Paul McCartney demos that never saw the light of day. This home recording of &#8220;Indeed, I Do&#8221; was most likely taped sometime between the <em>Ram</em> album (May 1971) and the first Wings album, <em>Wild Life</em> (Dec. 1971). Paul duets with his wife Linda while strumming an acoustic guitar. Linda announces take 1 at the start of the tape but after a minute and thirteen seconds this breaks down, followed by a second attempt which also falls short due to Paul not having the words to the verses worked out yet. Since they are apparently having a lot of fun with it (judging by the laughter), instead of letting this stop them, they cheerfully continue on for a few more minutes before shutting the recorder off. This is the only known recording of this particular track and it was probably soon forgotten over the years. Admittedly, if you asked me if I thought it might&#8217;ve been a hit, I would have to say &#8220;no&#8221;, but if you ask me if I think it&#8217;s interesting enough to spin up for this week&#8217;s BROW, I&#8217;d say &#8220;Indeed, I Do.&#8221; </p>

<p>&#8220;If I Fell&#8221; was the last song recorded on The Beatles February 27, 1964 session set up to record songs for their first feature film <em>A Hard Day&#8217;s Night</em>. This clip, taken directly from the film shows the Beatles when they are supposedly rehearsing the song in preparation for an upcoming London television show. In the opening we see that Ringo Starr is initially bitter about the theater tech mishandling his drums.</p>
<p>Paul McCartney, harmonizing on the vocals with John Lennon, had trouble reaching the high note on the word &#8220;vain&#8221; the second time around, so George Martin mixed out the words &#8220;new love was in vain&#8221; for the mono mix (heard here). This was done by replacing the faulty section with a copy of when it was sung the first time around. In the U.S., &#8220;If I Fell&#8221; was released as a Capitol single coupled with &#8220;And I Love Her&#8221; on July 20, 1964, around three weeks before the movie made it&#8217;s American theater debut.</p>
