Neat! Thanks for sharing!
I read somewhere that the "harpsichord" in In My Life is actually an electric piano played at half speed then sped up because the baroque style couldn't be played at tempo. Pretty neat and might be why it seems so "overbearing."
-
I did not admire their music then and still do not.

I think U are referring to George & Georges Martins solo in the mid of Hard Days Night.

Two or three others are even worse-- Something in particular.

I hadn't thought of that solo. I am not sure about the story there. :) However, I just double checked "The song was recorded on 18 October 1965, and was complete except for the instrumental bridge.[10] At that time, Lennon had not decided what instrument to use, but he subsequently asked George Martin to play a piano solo, suggesting "something Baroque-sounding".[1] Martin wrote a Bach-influenced piece that he found he could not play at the song's tempo. On 22 October, the solo was recorded at half-tempo (one octave lower) and tape speed was doubled for the final recording, solving the performance challenge and giving the piano solo a unique, harpsichord-like timbre.[11][12]" (From the In My Life Wiki page, but only because I don't have the book in front of me. :reading:)
Hard Day's Night isn't one of my favorites, but I had a listen to see if I could hear what you are referring to here... It does sound kind of "tinny." I wonder if they used a similar technique?
-
The technique is used a few times during the Beatles recordings. I believe the HDN tale is told in Geoff Emerick's book which I don't have any more.
-
Nice, thanks! My dad may have that. I'm visiting this weekend so I may borrow it. He has a few All-Things-Beatle books. :)

Surprised to see a thread dedicated to the Beatles, to be honest. I can remember Bishop Williamson railing against them ages ago.
Their earlier music I don't like as well as their later music. In fact, I don't like much of their earlier stuff at all. I'm not even sure if any of it is all that great, except that hearing alot of their songs so vividly takes me back to my childhood, to a small cottage on a beach in Canada, next to an amusement park with a celebrated roller coaster, where we spent our Summers.
Whenever I hear "Woman" or "Hello, Goodbye" or "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" I go right back there. I can smell the lighter fluid for the grill, I can hear the screams on the roller coaster, I can hear the high-pitched whistle of the park train, I can smell the fishy smell of Lake Erie, I can smell the "new car smell" of my grandfather's Lincoln Continental Town Coupes (he traded them in for a new one every two years). Wings songs like "Band on the Run" and "Mull of Kintyre" do the same thing.
Funny.

Well, roscoe is literally the only person here who is obsessed with the Beatles. No one else here seems to care for them much. I certainly don't.
-
I much prefer early Beatles to the later hippy Beatles-- which apparently is the opposite view of the v2 anti-church.

Under Beatle Music click on the RR topic--- enjoy. Any comments on the sound or artistic quality will be appreciated.

Remember how there were huge bonfires of Beatles albums when Lennon said that they were bigger than Jesus?
-
John later apologised & said he was wrong. I believe the first Pope had a similar experience.
-
The Beatles were Satanists, Communists and viciously anti-Christian.

Thank you very much. Popular music is thoroughly evil, lock, stock and barrel. I am always mildly surprised that people don't realise it. A brief study of the 1960s will quite easily confirm my assertion - that, in short, it is devilish. The tremendous collapse in morals since then is substantially due to this awful racket, with its crude rhythms (the jungle drums, anyone?) which inflame base passions; and its obscene lyrics.
'When I returned to England in 1965 after two years in Africa, and, school-mastering in London, found the school-boys, like their country, ravaged by, notably, four unworthy mop-heads known as the Beatles'

PatrickG, do you already know the following good article from the Lion for Tradition who's on your avatar? :-)

Yes, I'm familiar with it. It's a point I have been accused of intrasingence on but I maintain I am right - that all popular music is flatly evil. It is perversion, deliberate perversion. That it is so accepted - almost universally accepted - amongst all classes is always a matter for grave concern and dread. A great many traditionalists seem to see no harm in such evil 'music'. .

Really?? You're really that confused as to what his post meant, yet are accepting of the uber-complex Siri Thesis?? You're like a bad trad joke turned real Roscoe.

THE BEATLES ARE GARBAGE! :cussing:
-
What has come after the Beatles is exponentially worse. What started before the Fab Four was the beginning of the moral avalanche into audio chaos. To enjoy the Beatles is one thing, but to know about them, what they stood for, what they sang, is good in terms of cultural relevance, in the sense you ought to know what the Enemy and his minions are up to.
Where else could we get those wonderful allusions from His Excellency Bishop Williamson on luv luv luv and strawberry fields forever? What delightful mockery!
I must confess there have been some great cartoons that parody the Beatles. Cf Pinky and the Brain and Powerpuff Girls.
-
My affection for early Beatles music has nothing to do with their personal lives or beliefs. MO is that anyone who thinks the Beatles are garbage should take a look in the mirror. :baby:
-
I don't mind that you like there music. That's your choice. But to imply that I am garbage? Who do you think you are?
Enjoy your music.
-
Who do u think U are? calling the Beatles Garbage? i would suggest saving your rancor for the openly satanic bands like Zepplin or the Who or Stones, Black Sabbath etc.
The early Beatles music has a unique, Happy sound completely unlike any of those. I don't trust anyone that doesn't like early Beatles. :detective:

I'm sure some good can be found in the works of Martin Luther before his apostasy.
Likewise, Judas, no doubt, said and did commendable things before his betrayal of Our Blessed Lord...
While we're at it, Lucifer had much to recommend about himself before his Great Fall.
The point being that there are some whose ends are so evil, whatever good that may have come before is rightly eclipsed forever. And promoting drug use, occultism, sɛҳuąƖ immorality, and penning the Materialist-Atheist anthem par excellence ("Imagine") absolutely constitutes a sufficently evil end to warrant forever turning our backs to the (extremely minor) "good" of having written a few catchy pop tunes.
-
I have solved the Imagine problem by simply not listening to the song. It doesn't change my affection for Pls Pls Me, She love U, IWTHYH, All My Loving, Roll Over Beethoven etc. :ready-to-eat:

So you've decided to ignore the Beatles' later, openly Satanic works so that you may continue to enjoy the junky pop pablum they produced back when they were merely softening and anesthetizing the Baby Boomer generation for the evil that was to come?
Listen, I sympathize with you. I understand what it's like to have an attachment to the music you listened to in your formative years. I went into my own experience with giving up evil music that I used to love in this thread:
http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php?a=topic&t=26026&min=15
I still have an emotional and aesthetic attachment to Boards of Canada (and all the other modernist music I once listened to "religiously" - pun intended), but, with prayer and grace, this can be faced as all temptations must be faced - with resistance, not excuse making and acquiescence. We should flee from such things wholly - not partly - and never look back.

I am not buying your Jansenist, rationalist , sourpuss, joyless crap. :smoke-pot:
My suggestion is to go take a mud bath.

Sorry if the above sounds uncharitable but unless i am mistaken, it is the heresy of Peter Waldo that condemns even the most innocent of human pleasures.
Your comparison of Luther to the Beatles is interesting in that the latter can also be said to have slid( so to speak) into heresy( hippies) after 1965.
Fortunately the Beatles( under the leadership of George & Paul) rebound in late 1968 & 69 with some classic tracks.
Lighten up!!!!!! :scared2:

So much for my charitable concern for your spiritual well being.
No to the mud bath, but I will be shaking the dust from my feet in testimony against you.
Good luck in trying to serve two masters.
-
Describing your thoughts as charitable are your words--- not mine. At any rate, I apologised & unless i am mistaken, it is uncharitable not to accept it.
That doesn't change my astonishment that so many waste their time trashing even early Beatles when there are many hundreds of in your face satanic bands out there.
