revolution 1 (take 20)

http://nevergetoutoftheboat.blogspot.com/2...02/beatles.html

pretty cool if so.

Theres no reason why it wouldnt be, and it certainly seems so from the blog and a quick listen.

This pretty much blows me away that they recorded this in 1968.

After listening all the way through and being a Beatles fan (I know, I know) I'm pretty sure thats real.

Fuck the Beatles they are so fucking over-rated.

In before LUDD^^.

Revolution 9 is my favourite beatles track you can here some of the segments in take 20 used in that. The second half of 'take 20' is so much better than the released 4.15 min version, would of made a good final track to the album.

yes it's real, hence Ringo's blistered fingers.

Palladin Press is putting a book out on fags who hate the Beatles, look for it in late spring of '09.

I love The Beatles so quite looking forward to listening to this

how can anyone hate The Beatles

*Waits with anticipation for LUDD*.

He's gonna fucking exaplode guys, like, everywhere. Like the final scene of Braindead.

too bad LUDD doesn't know shit.

Ohhhhh thats naughty.

I'm only joking anyway, he loves them really.

I really want to hear this but the downloads have been removed already.

I was hoping to listen to it later. But I'll have a look when I have finished listening to what I am now.

Was there really nothing like this before The Beatles? (Serious question).

welllll by 1968 there was

but in 1965/1966 when the beatles started getting psychedelic? very little. maybe love or the 13th floor elevators

Probably taking their cue from William Burroughs and company.

In terms of popular music there wasnt that much but if anyone knows of anything please tell

There was all the avante garde artist making music concrete working with tape manipulation and effects since the late 40's , a guy call raymond scott was developing electronic early synthesis devices in the 50's and creating clever little jingles, and then we have the radiophonic workshop, im a big beatles fan but the people ive just mentioned mean more to me because it was the start of electronic music.

And in terms of the beatles i always look to george martin as the guy that created the magical aspects of the beatles records.

mccartney was very interested in musique concrete

way before revolution #9, he did some still unreleased tape loop stuff by himself

I didn't think Love were as early as that to be honest, I thought they were very late 60's early 70's. I can't seem to think of anything like it I guess, Jade Warrior were psychadelic but I'm not sure when they were around? What about Can?

Curved Air, King Crimson?

But were the Beatles the first band to use opera, brass bands in this way?

ahem

  Quote

Love started playing the L.A. clubs in April, 1965 and became a popular act. At this time, they were playing extended numbers such as "Revelation" (originally titled "John Lee Hooker") and getting the attention of such luminaries as the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds. The band lived communally in a house once owned by horror actor Bela Lugosi, and their first two albums included photos shot in the garden of that house.

 

1966-1968

 

Signed to the Elektra Records label, the band scored a minor hit single in 1966 with their version of Burt Bacharach's "My Little Red Book". In the meantime, Lee had dismissed Conka and Fleckenstein, replacing them with Alban "Snoopy" Pfisterer and Ken Forssi (from a post-"Wipeout" version of The Surfaris). Their debut album, Love, was released in May 1966, and included "Signed D.C" and MacLean's "Softly To Me". The album sold moderately well and reached #57 on the album charts.

 

In August, 1966, the single "7 and 7 Is" became their highest-charting at #33. Two more members were added around this time, Tjay Cantrelli (aka John Barberis) on woodwinds and Michael Stuart on drums. Pfisterer, never a confident drummer, switched to harpsichord.

I thought i read that it was john who made most of that, while paul was on holiday and when he came back he was royaly pissed when he found out he wasnt involved. But that might be BS, i read it one the net.

Oh shit, didn't know it was that early I guess Love were pretty fucking influential as well then.
