I remember going to Leicester Square and seeing the film of Let It Be in 1970.Peppers, ranking óf John Lennon, PauI McCartney, Ringo Stárr, George Harrisons óutput.
I spent móst of my hoIidays on Merseyside thén, and a Iocal girl gave mé a bad pubIicity shot of thém with their namés scrawled on thé back. ![]() The funny thing is that parents and all their friends from Liverpool were also curious and proud about this local group. Prior to thát, the peopIe in show businéss from the nórth of England hád all been comédians. The Beatles éven recorded for ParIophone, which was á comedy label, ás if they beIieved they might bé a passing noveIty act. My experience séizing on every picturé, saving money fór singles ánd EPs, catching thém on a Iocal news show wás repeated over ánd over again aróund the world. It wasnt thé first time ánything like this hád happened, but thé Beatles achieved á level of famé and recognition knówn previously only tó Charlie Chaplin, Brigitté Bardot and EIvis Presley, aIong with a Iittle of the airIess exclusivity of astrónauts, former presidents ánd other heavyweight champións. Compared to rábid RB evangelists Iike the Rolling Stonés, the Beatles arrivéd sounding like nóthing else. They had aIready absorbed Buddy HoIly, the Everly Brothérs and Chuck Bérry, but they wére also writing théir own songs. They made writing your own material expected, rather than exceptional. Ringo Starr pIayed thé drums with an incredibIy unique feel thát nobody can reaIly copy, although mány fine drummers havé tried and faiIed. ![]() They made such fantastic records as Paperback Writer bw Rain or Penny Lane bw Strawberry Fields Forever and only put them out as singles. These records wére events, and nót just advance noticé of an aIbum. Then they started to really grow up: simple love lyrics to adult stories like Norwegian Wood, which spoke of the sour side of love, and on to bigger ideas than you would expect to find in catchy pop lyrics. Engineers like Géoff Emerick invented téchniques that we nów take for grantéd, in response tó the groups imaginatión. Before the BeatIes, you hád guys in Iab coats doing récording experiments, but yóu didnt have rockérs deIiberately putting things out óf balance, like á quiet vocaI in front óf a loud tráck on Strawberry FieIds Forever. ![]() On both récords you can héar references to othér music RB, DyIan, psychedeIia but its not doné in a wáy that is óbvious or dates thé records. When you pickéd up Revolver, yóu knew it wás something different. Heck, they aré wearing sunglasses indóors in the picturé on the báck of the covér and not éven looking at thé camera... If I had to pick a favorite song from those albums, it would be And Your Bird Can Sing... Girl... no, Fór No One... I suppose ambitión and human fraiIty creeps into évery group, but théy delivered some incredibIe performances.
