The Beatles – Detta hände den 22 november 1963

UK album release: With The Beatles

Även denna fredag släppte skivbolagen nya skivor. Ett av de mest efterlängtade albumen var nog ändå detta – With The Beatles – The Beatles andra album som släpptes precis 8 månader efter debutalbumet Please Please Me (22 mars 1963).

With The Beatles innehöll sju Lennon-McCartney-kompositioner, sex coverversioner och en låt skriven av George Harrison. Förhandsbeställningarna var uppe i 300 000 exemplar och såldes snabbt i över 500 000 exemplar. I september 1965 hade albumet sålts i över en miljon exemplar.

Albumet toppad albumlistan i UK under hela 21 veckor och ersatte The Beatles första album Please Please Me. I och med denna övergång på toppen stannade The Beatles på toppen av listan i hela 51 på varandra följande veckor!

With The Beatles gick som högst in på 11:e platsen på singellistan (!), som under det tidiga 1960-talet baserades på försäljningssiffror oavsett skivformat.

I likhet med Please Please Me, var texten på konvolutet skriven av The Beatles reklamman Tony Barrow:

Baksidestexten skriven av Tony Barrow.

Fourteen freshly recorded titles – including many sure-fire stage-show favourites – are featured on the two generously filled sides of this record. The Beatles have repeated the successful formula which made their first ‘Please Please Me’ LP into the fastest-selling album of 1963. Again they have set eight of their own original compositions along side a batch of ‘personal choice’ pieces selected from the recorded repertoires of the American R. & B. artists they admire most.

The first half of the session gets away to a rip-roarin’ start with John’s powerful treatment of IT WON’T BE LONG NOW *). Two more Lennon/McCartney compositions follow with these two remarkably talented tunesmiths handling their own lyrics on ALL I’VE GOT TO DO och ALL MY LOVING. On the first slower number John takes the vocal lead with Paul supplying the harmony. on ALL MY LOVING Paul stands in the vocal spotlight with John and George chanting in the background. Listen to George’s superb, slightly Country and Western guitar solo, an intriguing feature of ALL MY LOVING.

DON’T BOTHER ME marks the disc debut of George Harrison as a composer. It is a fairly fast number with a haunting theme tune. Behind George’s double-tracked voice the rest of the fabulous foursome create some unusual instrumental effects. Paul beats out a lean, hollow-boned rhythm from the claves, John uses a tambourine and Ringo hits out a loose-skinned Arabian bongo (don’t ask me where he picked that up!) to pound out the on-beat percussive drive.

On a fair number of previous recordings by The Beatles producer George Martin has joined the group to add suitable piano sounds to their instrumental arrangements. His keyboard contributions come a little later in this new programme but on LITTLE CHILD it is Paul McCartney who plays piano, John and Paul join forces for the vocal on this rocker and, whilst Paul was over-dubbing the piano bits, John was standing beside another microphone adding in some neatly trimmed mouth-organ phrases.

Those who considered Paul’s interpretation of ’A Taste Of Honey’ to be a stand-out attraction of The Beatles’ first LP will be more than pleased to hear him assume the role of romantic balladeer again on TILL THERE WAS YOU, the near-standard hit from the show ‘The Music Man’. Ringo plays the Bongos behind Paul’s solo performance, George and John switch to acoustic guitars for this track – only Paul’s pulsating bass uses electricity.

If you have read a great deal in the musical press about Merseyside’s beat basement, The Cavern, you might imagine that the cellar stompers of Liverpool would demand and all-up-tempo programme. Curiously Paul’s persuasive handling of TILL THERE WAS YOU used to go down extremely well at the club long before the Love me do days when The Beatles were frequent bill-toppers at this now-famous venue.

The first half closes with another number which dates back to The Beatles’ Cavern Club period. Once an American chart-topper for a recording group called The Marvelettes, PLEASE MR. POSTMAN features a double-tracked John Lennon with George and Paul in vocal support.

Chuck Berry’s ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN has been one of the most requested items at recent concert performances by The Beatles. George duets with himself on this one; the boys add to the atmosphere af active excitement by their handclapping.

Paul issues forth with the invitatioN HOLD ME TIGHT on the fairly brisk second track of Side Two. More handclapping and energetic vocal support from John and George.

The boys have an immense admiration for America’s rhythmic group The Miracles, to whom they pay tribute via their interpretation of YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME. John and George tackle the wild, relentless vocal with Paul joining them for the chorus lines. Incidentally that IS George Martin on the piano this time!

Observing the tremendous audience response that Ringo has been getting whenever he sings Boys, John and Paul put their heads together to pen a special new number for their fierce-voiced drumming man. The result is a real raver entitled I WANNA BE YOUR MAN. The Hammond organ in the background is played by John Lennon.

Though they are lesser known on our side of the Atlantic than The Crystals or the Shirelles, the American all-girl group The Donays have always commanded plenty of professional respect from The Beatles. Therefore they switched around the lyrics of DEVIL IN HER HEART and handed this medium-paced beat offering to George Harrison. John and Paul provide the harmony with Ringo using his maracas.

The final Lennon/McCartney composition of this session features a double-tracked John Lennon singing NOT A SECOND TIME. George Martin’s piano work is featured on this number and again upon the programme’s closing track MONEY. Paul describes MONEY as ‘a really big screamer’ and he recalls the numerous Cavern Club occasions when this item brought forth the same type of overwhelming response given to ’Twist And Shout’. Much recorded by American blues merchants, MONEY has John shouting the raw lyrics with tremendous force and feeling whilst George and Paul supply the answers.

MONEY makes a completely worthy climax to this knock-out programme. Hope it doesn’t leave you too breathless to flip back to Side One for a repeat-play session WITH THE BEATLES.

*) På skivkonvolutets baksida står det faktiskt IT WON’T BE LONG NOW istället för bara IT WON’T BE LONG.

Live: Globe Cinema, Stockton-on-Tees, Durham

Globe theatre, Stockton-on-Tees, ,Tommy Steele,
The Globe Cinema 1957 när det var Tommy Steele-hysteri.

The Beatles lämnade Carlisle på morgonen samma dag som gruppens andra album släpptes. Denna fredag, var också den 18:e speldagen på deras höstturné, Den här gången styrde man kosan till Stockton-on-Tees i Durham, där man spelade på The Globe Cinema på High Street.

Samtidigt kom det ut flera tidningar som innehöll artiklar om The Beatles kommande turné i USA.

Denna dag var också väldigt tragisk, eftersom USA:s president John F. Kennedy mördades i Dallas, Texas, USA.

Bakom scenen blev poliskonstaplarna minst lika intresserade av The Beatles som sina döttrar var. Hade de inte frågat om grabbarnas autografer, hade de förmodligen blivit ihjälslagna när de kom hem till döttrarna. Här är det Paul McCartney som glatt skriver sin autograf.

Fotografen Ian Wright berättar själv: ’Ett av mina mest historiska och ikoniska fotografier, tagna klockan 19 efter det att ridån hade gått upp den 22 november 1963. Det var runt den tid då John F. Kennedy sköts i Dallas.’

Fotografen Ian Wright berättar: Vid Beatleskonserterna var St. Johns ambulanssjuksköterskor alltid redo att ge luktsalt till de medvetslösa kvinnliga fansen.

Entrance to Hotel
The Eden Arm Hotel.

The Beatles stannade på The Eden Arms på Rushyford under perioden 22-24 november. Alla banden bodde för ovanlighetens skull på samma hotell den här natten. När de kom till hotellet efter föreställningarna satt de tillsammans och tittade på tv som sände nyheter om mordet på President Kennedy i USA.

The Beatles återkom till The Globe ytterligare en gång, nämligen den 15 oktober 1964.
