My cover of Happiness Is A Warm Gun from the White album. I did multiple layers of overdubs to get the additional vocals and harmonies to work.
NOTE: Ignore the note at the beginning. You should be able to hear the proper stereo version right hear on MOG!

Once again, it's time for this week's BROW. On August 18, 1965, three days after the historical Shea Stadium concert that kicked off their 1965 US tour, The Beatles were cooking down in Georgia for their big show at the Atlanta Stadium where they once again performed on a baseball diamond. Toward the end of the set, Paul has apparently broken a bass string and John takes it upon himself to ad-lib to the frenzied audience while the situation is rectified. Then the band laun... MORE

Tagged as the "world's most famous drum skin," the drum skin featured on the cover of the Beatles' Sgt Peppers album sold for $1.1 million, or the price of a really nice house. Also selling for the price of nice house ($834,000,) were handwritten John Lennon lyrics for "Give Peace a Chance." According to auctioneer Christie's the lyrics were given to comedy writer Gail Renard, who in 1969, at the age of 16, sneaked into Lennon's and Yoko Ono's "Bed-In" at Montreal'... MORE

I thought I might document my comments on Mark’s current BROW (Get Back)
George Martin backs me up, but listen to the tone in John’s voice

This weeks BROW takes us back to the infamous Get Back sessions at Twickenham Film Studios in London on January 9, 1969. Only two days before an embryonic version of Get Back had been performed for the first time. Now, with energy levels increased by a lunch break, The Beatles decide to bash out a hard series of "Get Back Jams" and what you are hearing is an excerpt from them. At this point Jo-jo has yet to even be written into the lyrics. Paul improvises various place-na... MORE

BROW continues this week with a recording that dates back to January 1964 when The Beatles were using a studio in Paris to record Can't Buy Me Love. In between visits to the studio, Paul put together this early demo called One And One Is Two and recorded it with his own acoustic guitar accompanyment right in one of The Beatles' hotel rooms. The Beatles never made an official release of the song, but gave it away to The Strangers who put it out on a UK single the following... MORE

Clips of a Scottish TV interview with the Beatles have been recovered after being forgotten for 44 years in a rusty film can in a garage in South London. It was stacked among 64 other unmarked cans and presumed lost. In the interview, recorded back in April 30th, 1964, John Lennon and Paul McCartney talk about the first time they met and how they record songs. "Normally we try to sit down and bash things out," McCartney explains in the interview. The entire nine and h... MORE

If not for the fact that they were arguably the greatest rock band ever, they might well be just another 60s band named after a creature. But no, The Beatles are The Beatles, and any referent outside of them is neither here nor there. Curiously, an image of a beetle was never to my knowledge employed in any graphic work associated with them. "I Am The Walrus" rarity boosted from courtesy of marknavl. ...Pancakes woodworking umpire.

This is one of my favorite Beatles outtakes. I love the way John Lennon messes up the chords at the beginning of the song. And by the end he yells out, "I showed ya!" to George Martin in the control booth who replies, "Great fine." To me this is a rare historical document hearing The Beatles in the recording studio. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall on this or any of these sessions. You would learn so much on how timeless music is created. About the lyrics,... MORE

Not much is known about this mysterious recording of John Lennon's most likely recorded sometime in the mid-to-late 1970's. It may well have seen the light of day on an official release had John's life not been stolen from him so early. This is in demo form with only John and his acoustic guitar. It might have been a cool idea to have included this on the 2004 John Lennon Acoustic CD release but , ah, what do I know about these things? Anyway, it's called India and it's yo... MORE

These particular session outtakes are really special as they show the difficulty Ringo had in playing this particular drum solo and the lengths John and Paul went to make it easier for him. Though he was the "Master of Fills" solos were something he admits he was not particularly fond of. I took the liberty of bumping up John's suggestion to the beginning But stick with it because half way through (there’s a little pause) the real fun begins Can you think of another Rin... MORE

The master of The Beatles' 1966 single Paperback Writer was created using take 2 in a recording session that took place on April 13th of that same year. Be a fly on the wall in the studio now (or should I say then?) and listen to it "raw", sans fade-out and preceded by take 1 which was an instrumental take that broke down early. The backing vocals come through much clearer here than on the final mix created a few days later. It was then that the reverb special effects were... MORE
