<p>On February 19, 1965, The Beatles did an afternoon recording session to record John Lennon&#8217;s new song, &#8220;You&#8217;re Going To Lose That Girl.&#8221; The 4-track mix consisted of John&#8217;s Gretsch rhythm guitar, Paul McCartney&#8217;s bass and Ringo Starr&#8217;s drums on track 1, George Harrison&#8217;s guitar solo and electric piano on track 2, backing vocals from John, Paul &#038; George on track 3, and John&#8217;s lead vocal on track 4. After doing more filming for their upcoming film <em>Help!</em>, they returned to the song on March 30 to add overdubs that included a new track 2 with a better guitar solo by George, bongos and an acoustic piano.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re Going To Lose That Girl&#8221; was the last of the songs recorded for the <em>Help!</em> film, from which this clip originates. At the end of the scene, one of the great swami Clang&#8217;s thugs uses a chainsaw to saw a hole in the floor around the drum kit. The producer reports that they will have to re-record the song due to a buzzing noise, and The Beatles begin asking one another who was buzzing. As they look to Ringo, he and the drums fall through the floor.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m hoping most of those reading this have had the opportunity to check out Martin Scorsese&#8217;s recent biographical documentary <a href="http://www.thebeatlesrarity.com/2011/09/27/living-in-the-material-world-video-clip-where-comes-the-sun/" title="George Harrison: LITMW" target="_blank"><em>George Harrison: Living In The Material World</em></a> by now. Back in October it made it&#8217;s debut in cinemas across the U.K. and was also released on home video. In the U.S., it made it&#8217;s first appearance on HBO, with the promise posted on GeorgeHarrison.com of a home video release in the Spring. The 3 1/2 hour feature is divided into two parts with the first part focusing on George&#8217;s &#8220;Beatle-years&#8221; and the second part mainly focusing on the time after The Beatles, up to George&#8217;s death in 2001. However, part two actually begins with a 1968 acoustic demo of George&#8217;s &#8220;While My Guitar Gently Weeps&#8221;. Since this demo is only presented as a 45 second edit containing one verse, and not available on any official releases anywhere else, I thought some of you out there might like to hear it in it&#8217;s entirety.</p>
<p>This demo of George&#8217;s <em>White Album</em> classic is the earliest known recorded account of the song. It was recorded in late May 1968, when The Beatles had recently returned from their time learning about Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in Rishikesh, India. Since the band had written some 35 new songs while on the trip, they were eager to record some demos and make plans for the next album. They had decided to convene at George&#8217;s bungalow (named <em>Kinfauns</em>) in Esher Surrey, U.K. to do just that.<span id="more-5454"></span> </p>
<p>A tape of 23 demos from the recordings The Beatles did then has survived (known as the <em>Kinfauns demos</em>) and circulates among Beatles-collectors. The sound quality on the tape is far from superb, but yet good enough to get an idea of how developed many of the songs that ended up on the <em>White Album</em> were at this point. The tape concludes with five George Harrison demos, and only two of the five ended up making the final cut for the forthcoming 2-LP set. Specifically George&#8217;s 5 songs were: &#8220;While My Guitar Gently Weeps&#8221;, &#8220;Circles&#8221;, &#8220;Sour Milk Sea&#8221;, &#8220;Not Guilty&#8221; &#038; &#8220;Piggies&#8221;. </p>
<p>&#8220;While My Guitar Gently Weeps&#8221; has George adding to his guitar and vocal track with an organ on the bridges and ending. The lyrics are yet to modified to the version we are accustomed to now. This earliest known demo of the song pre-dates the demo heard on the <em>Beatles Anthology 3</em> CD set by two months. The electric version we hear on the <em>White Album</em> was recorded during the first week of September 1968 and features Eric Clapton on lead guitar and Paul McCartney on fuzz bass. </p>

<p>Extra info: Of George&#8217;s 5 offerings on the <em>Kinfauns demos</em>, only &#8220;While My Guitar Gently Weeps&#8221; and &#8220;Piggies&#8221; ended up on the &#8220;White Album&#8221;. &#8220;Not Guilty&#8221; and &#8220;Circles&#8221; were both recorded later by George on solo albums (<em>George Harrison</em> and <em>Gone Troppo</em>, respectively). &#8220;Sour Milk Sea&#8221; was covered by Apple artist Jackie Lomax and released as a single in 1968 (with George, Paul, Ringo and Eric Clapton backing Jackie up on the recording &#8211; see <a href="http://www.thebeatlesrarity.com/2010/02/15/the-beatles-rarity-of-the-week-110/" title="Sour Milk Sea" target="_blank">this post</a> for more info on that). In addition to the 23 demos recorded at Kinfauns, four additional demos from this period were recorded at John Lennon&#8217;s home (Kenwood) and appear on the <em>Beatles Anthology 3</em> CD set. They are &#8220;Happiness Is A Warm Gun&#8221;, &#8220;Mean Mr. Mustard&#8221;, &#8220;Polythene Pam&#8221; and &#8220;Glass Onion&#8221;.</p>

<p>Back on November 11th, 2011, I featured the promo video for one side of the double A-sided <a href="http://www.thebeatlesrarity.com/2011/11/11/strawberry-fields-forever-original-1967-promo-video/" title="Strawberry Fields Forever video clip" target="_blank">Strawberry Fields Forever</a> c/w Penny Lane single. I decided to follow that up this week with the other side. </p>
<p>The promo clip for Paul McCartney&#8217;s &#8220;Penny Lane&#8221; was shot at a few locations on the 5th and 7th of February, 1967, in preparation for the upcoming mid-February single release (specifically the 13th in the U.S. and 17th in the U.K.). </p>
<p>Although there were a few sequences shot in Liverpool&#8217;s Penny Lane (the subject of the song), The Beatles never traveled there to make the video. The footage, where The Beatles are in the city, was shot at a district of London called Angel Lane. This includes the scene where they are riding horseback through the streets (I&#8217;ve always wondered if it was a coincidence that George Harrison rode the &#8220;dark horse&#8221;). These scenes are interspersed with footage of the &#8220;real&#8221; Penny Lane in Liverpool, which show the #46 bus, the &#8220;shelter in the middle of the roundabout,&#8221; the barber&#8217;s pole, the fireman on the white horse, etc.<span id="more-5408"></span> </p>
<p>The banquet scene at the end, where Beatles assistant Mal Evans serves the band guitars instead of food, was shot at Knole Park, in the Sevenoaks district of Kent, U.K., where the &#8220;Strawberry Fields Forever&#8221; promo had been shot less than a week earlier.</p>
<p>As was the case with the &#8220;Strawberry Fields Forever&#8221; promo clip, the video was directed by Peter Goldman, who was given the position as a result of a recommendation by long-time Beatles friend Klaus Voormann, whom The Beatles had met back in their pre-fame days in Hamburg, Germany.</p>

<p>Extra info: &#8220;Penny Lane,&#8221; along with &#8220;Strawberry Fields Forever,&#8221; was originally intended to be part of the <em>Sgt. Pepper&#8217;s Lonely Hearts Club Band</em> LP, but since it was already early 1967 and the band had not put a single out since the previous August&#8217;s &#8220;Yellow Submarine&#8221; c/w &#8220;Eleanor Rigby,&#8221; it was decided to release it as a single ahead of time. Since singles tracks did not typically end  up on albums in the U.K., neither song was included on <em>Pepper</em>. Both songs were later included on the U.S. <em>Magical Mystery Tour</em> LP; however the British double EP package of the same name included only the songs that were in the <em>Magical Mystery Tour</em> film.</p>

<p>Welcome back for yet another Beatles Rarity Of The Week. &#8220;Something&#8221; was a song written by George Harrison in January 1969 and later featured, not only on the <em>Abbey Road</em> album later in the year, but also on the A-side of a single coupled with John Lennon&#8217;s &#8220;Come Together&#8221; on the B-side. This was George&#8217;s first composition (and last) to be issued on the top side of a Beatles single. It was a good pick too because it topped the U.S. charts (<em>Billboard</em>) and reached number 4 on the U.K (<em>Melody Maker</em>) charts. It is second only to <em>Yesterday</em> as being the most covered Beatles song of all time. Both John Lennon and Paul McCartney praised &#8220;Something&#8221; as among the best songs written by George, or that the group had to offer. </p>
<p>For this week&#8217;s BROW, I&#8217;m sharing a recording of the song while still a work in progress. This is a mono mix of &#8220;Something&#8221; that&#8217;s basic track was laid down on May 2, 1969. Billy Preston, who had recently worked with The Beatles during the Get Back/Let It Be sessions, played organ, while Paul played bass. George Harrison played rhythm guitar through a Leslie speaker and John played a second rhythm guitar. Ringo Starr, of course, manned the drum kit. At this point the song was 7:48 due to a extended jam at the conclusion (some of which I&#8217;ve included here) and labeled as take 36.<span id="more-5330"></span></p>
<p>On May 5th, The Beatles upgraded take 36 with the following changes: Paul redid his bass track and George added the lead guitar parts, including his fantastic solo. Billy Preston added more organ overdubs sometime before July 11th, which was the date George recorded his first lead vocal for the track. The extended jam at the end was also shortened. The end result, take 37, would receive further improvements later in the week, when George would return to the studio to redo the vocal track, with some assistance from Paul. With the new vocal track, a stereo mix was created for the master we hear on <em>Abbey Road</em>. </p>
<p>Here now, with the original vocal track, is take 37, complete with sound engineer Phil McDonald&#8217;s take announcement.</p>

<p><img alt="Magical Mystery Tour, 1967 double EP set, cover art" src="http://www.mybeatlescollection.com/images/coverart/V181.jpg" title="Magical Mystery Tour, 1967 double EP set, cover art" class="alignleft" width="125" height="125" /></p>
<p>&#8220;The Fool On The Hill&#8221; was a Lennon/McCartney original, used in the <em>Magical Mystery Tour</em> film and accompanying LP/EP set. It was actually conceived by Paul McCartney, who stated in an interview that he wrote the song with someone like Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in mind. He claims that he looked at the Maharishi as someone that was considered a fool to his detractors. However, the earliest memories of the song occur around the time of the sessions for the <em>Sgt. Pepper&#8217;s Lonely Hearts Club Band</em> album, a few months before The Beatles first met with the Maharishi. Paul had actually played the song for John Lennon on piano during a writing session for the &#8220;Pepper&#8221; track, &#8220;With A Little Help From My Friends.&#8221; <em>The Beatles Anthology 2</em> CD set has the first recorded demo of the song, taped on September 6th, 1967, along with an account of take 4, made on September 25th, by which time the recording of the song in earnest had begun. The basic track for the master was completed by September 27th, and the flutes were added on October 20th as the finishing touch. <span id="more-5265"></span></p>
<p>On October 30th, 1967, during filming of the <em>Magical Mystery Tour</em> television special, Paul, along with camerman Aubrey Dewar, traveled down to Nice, France, without the other Beatles. The idea was to shoot sequences of him prancing and skipping about in a rocky mountainous area, for use in the &#8220;Fool On The Hill&#8221; segment of the film. As seen in this video excerpt, the scene is portrayed as a daydream of Paul&#8217;s that occurs while he sits on the Magical Mystery Tour bus, waiting for the magic to begin. </p>
<p>The finished film premiered on December 26th (Boxing Day) in the U.K. on BBC1 and has been on several VHS releases throughout the late 1970s and up through the 1990s. The most recent official release of the film was on DVD in 1997, and it is currently out of print. Fortunately, it still can be found if you visit the right stores. (I have added a link below to a 3rd party Amazon vendor who still has copies, if you are interested.)</p>

<p>I spent a little while chatting with Nick Churchill, formerly of the <em>Daily Echo</em> in Bournemouth, U.K., about his new book, about which I wrote a short article last month (viewable <a href="http://www.thebeatlesrarity.com/2012/01/10/5766/" title="Nick Churchill - The Beatles &#038; Bournemouth" target="_blank">here</a>). The book is titled <em>Yeah Yeah Yeah &#8211; The Beatles &#038; Bournemouth</em>, and it came out last September (2011). </p>
<p>Bournemouth, as I’m sure many reading already know, is a resort town on the southern coast of England, and Nick&#8217;s book gives us a plethora of details about many historical events that link The Beatles to this beautiful British settlement.</p>
<p>In the previous article, I point out some of the interesting ties listed on the book&#8217;s back cover of Beatles happenings in Bournemouth. These include:</p>
<p>1) The Beatles played more theater shows at the Bournemouth Gaumont (16 in all) than any other concert venue in the U.K. outside of London, and a taping of one of their shows there is the earliest known recording of a theater performance by the group. <span id="more-5766"></span></p>
<p>2) A gig at Bournemouth’s Winter Gardens Theater on November 16, 1963, was the source of footage used by all three U.S. television networks covering the new “Beatlemania” craze in Europe. The resulting Nov. 21st telecast predated the Beatles’ Ed Sullivan Show appearance by two and a half months. </p>
<p>3) The famous cover art photo used on the With The Beatles album was taken in Bournemouth by Robert Freeman in 1963. </p>
<p>4) George Harrison’s first Beatles song, “Don’t Bother Me,” was written while staying in Bournemouth. </p>
<p>5) The story told in the 1969 Beatles single “The Ballad of John and Yoko” began while John was traveling to Mimi’s house where he ended up “standing in the dock at Southampton.” John actually purchased this home for Mimi, near Bournemouth. </p>
<p><em>Yeah Yeah Yeah</em> also has around 200 previously unpublished Beatles photos (many by the late Harry Taylor of the <em>Bournemouth Times</em>). The book&#8217;s forward is written by Howie Casey, a long time Liverpudlian friend of The Beatles who was in Howie &#038; The Seniors in the sixties and toured with Paul McCartney and Wings in the seventies. </p>

<p>For over forty years the Glastonbury Festival, held each year in the southwest of England, has been a great source of good rock and roll entertainment. In the 1970&#8242;s you may have seen T.Rex or David Bowie there. In the 1980&#8242;s, there was The Cure, Elvis Costello and Jackson Browne. In the 1990&#8242;s it got even louder with Radiohead, Primal Scream, Sinead O&#8217;Connor and R.E.M. </p>
<p>On June 26, 2004, Paul McCartney showed up and introduced a song that he stated was written specifically for &#8220;Glasto.&#8221; &#8220;Follow Me&#8221; had never appeared on a McCartney release or been performed in public before this night. Paul performs it on acoustic guitar accompanied with his touring band of Rusty Anderson (guitar), Brian Ray (bass), Abe Laboriel Jr. (drums, percussion), and Paul &#8216;Wix&#8217; Wickens (keyboards). A studio version was released 15 months later on his September 2005 album <em>Chaos And Creation In The Backyard</em>, and he also included it in the setlist of his 2005 &#8220;US&#8221; tour.</p>

<p>Happy New Year and welcome, once again, to the Beatles Rarity Of The Week! One of the songs The Beatles worked on during the first week of February 1968 was John Lennon&#8217;s &#8220;Across The Universe.&#8221; It would be nearly two years before the song would see a release, and then it would only be on a charity LP called <em>No One&#8217;s Gonna Change Our World</em>, compiled in 1969 to benefit the World Wildlife Fund. John originally wanted the song to be a single, but when &#8220;Lady Madonna&#8221; was chosen instead, John agreed to contribute it to the charity LP.  Later in the year, bird sound effects were mixed into take eight in order to make it fit in thematically with the album. </p>
<p>During the sessions, The Beatles experimented heavily with the recording by adding in overdubs of guitar, harp, bass and drums, all played backwards. Paul McCartney recruited two teenage female fans (Lizzie Bravo and Gayleen Pease), who were standing outside the studio, to come in to the session and sing backing vocals on the song&#8217;s &#8220;nothing&#8217;s gonna change my world&#8221; phrases. Four tracks of humming were also piled onto the already complicated mix before take eight was considered complete.<span id="more-5220"></span></p>
<p>The particular account of the song I&#8217;ve featured here comes from a rough take-home mix given to John of take seven. It doesn&#8217;t include the backwards bass or drums but does incorporate the backwards guitar and harp as well as humming during the &#8220;om&#8221; chants and near the ending. This mix of the song has been bootlegged and is known among collector&#8217;s circles as the &#8220;Hums Wild&#8221; version.</p>

<p>Extra info: On April 1st 1970, producer Phil Spector modified take eight of the song for inclusion on the <em>Let It Be</em> album. He removed the bird sound effects and backing vocals (from both The Beatles and two female fans). He also added the overdubbed cellos, violas, violins, harp, trumpets, trombone, choir and additional drums by Ringo Starr. This final mix was slowed down from the key of D to C-sharp. </p>

<p>Back on December 7th (2011), <a href="http://www.thebeatlesrarity.com">TheBeatlesRarity.com</a> reported on Paul McCartney&#8217;s upcoming St. Valentine&#8217;s holiday release. At the time, the title of the CD was to be <em>My Valentine</em> after one of only two McCartney-penned tracks on the disc. The latest, however, is that the CD will be titled <em>Kisses On The Bottom</em>. </p>
<p>A few weeks back, Paul spoke with French radio station RTL, and described the new record as “old-fashioned.” He said: “This will sound like the years between 1920-1940, the time when my father was 20. These are songs I heard &#8211; my family, my uncles, everybody sang. And there will be pieces I wrote, but in this style.”</p>
<p>In addition to enlisting the help of producer Tommy LiPuma, Paul recruits backing vocals from Diana Krall and even welcomes a guest appearance by Stevie Wonder. The disc marks the first time Paul has recorded without playing bass, guitar or piano.<br />
<span id="more-5692"></span><br />
Paul explains: &#8220;I always thought artists like Fred Astaire were very cool. Writers like Harold Arlen, Cole Porter, all of those guys &#8211; I just thought the songs were magical. And then, as I got to be a songwriter I thought it&#8217;s beautiful, the way they made those songs.&#8221; </p>
<p>Determined to approach the record in a new and unique manner, Paul requested the help of LiPuma and Krall and her band &#8211; who delivered ultra-high quality musicianship and were completely in tune with Paul&#8217;s restraint and feel for the music. </p>
<p>Paul says: &#8220;It was very spontaneous, kind of organic, which then reminded me of the way we&#8217;d work with the Beatles. We&#8217;d bring a song in, kick it around, when we found a way to do it we&#8217;d say &#8216;OK, let&#8217;s do a take now&#8217; and by the time everyone kind of had an idea of what they were doing, we&#8217;d learned the song. So that&#8217;s what we did, we did the take live in the studio.&#8221; </p>
<p>The album was recorded at the legendary Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, New York and London throughout 2011. </p>
<p>As a special New Year&#8217;s treat, here is a preview track. &#8220;My Valentine&#8221; was recorded live in the studio and features some great guitar work by Eric Clapton and piano by Stevie Wonder. </p>
<p>Happy New Year!</p>

<p>I hope everyone celebrating had a great holiday weekend, and I thought what better way to begin the last week of the year than with another installment of the BROW? &#8220;BROW&#8221; stands for Beatles Rarity Of The Week, and my name is Happy Nat. Each week on Mondays, I try to serve up a rare Beatles-related track for you to listen to and read about, and if you happen to have stumbled upon this post on some other day of the year, well that&#8217;s fine too. I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re here, and I hope it goes down well. </p>
<p>In the early days of Paul McCartney and Wings, right around December of 1971, the band convened for some sessions just after the release of their first album, <em>Wild Life</em>. The testy little instrumental that&#8217;s the subject of this week&#8217;s post was recorded at this time, and at one point was to be a b-side to the next (and first) Wings single, which turned out to be the BBC-banned protest track &#8220;Give Ireland Back To The Irish.&#8221; Plans changed, however, and the b-side to &#8220;Irish&#8221; became an instrumental version of the a-side, leaving this week&#8217;s BROW shelved in the vaults. I&#8217;m using the name &#8220;Rooster&#8221; for the track, though I am aware of two other names for it: &#8220;The Great Cock and Seagull Race&#8221; and &#8220;Breakfast Blues.&#8221;<br />
<span id="more-4944"></span><br />
The original line up of Wings was still intact at this point and included: </p>
<p>Paul McCartney &#8211; Vocals, guitar, bass, piano, keyboards<br />
Linda McCartney &#8211; Vocals, keyboards<br />
Denny Laine &#8211; Guitar, vocals, bass<br />
Denny Seiwell &#8211; Drums, percussion</p>
<p>So now you know that Alice In Chains are not the only band with a song called &#8220;Rooster.&#8221;  For a track that never made it to final production, it came together well, and I love Paul&#8217;s Jerry Lee Lewis style banging on the keys. Enjoy&#8230;</p>
