The Beatles - “Hey Bulldog”

As promised, I’m posting more Beatles.  The boxset is out today, along with the Rock Band game and instruments.

Appearing on the Yellow Submarine soundtrack, Hey Bulldog is one of the few Beatles songs that plays completely off a piano riff and was recorded during the “Lady Madonna” promotional video.  The stereo remaster is definitely the way to go with this one.  The piano intro packs more of a punch in stereo, while the low end carries some legitimate fidelity to it, even in mp3 format.  And like all of the new material, there’s a crispness to it all.

Many believe the song was written for original Rolling Stones member Brian Jones, an effort on John’s part to break through to him about his excessive drug use/abuse. The refrain echoes this sentiment with John singing, “You can talk to me/If you’re lonely, you can talk to me.”

Confession: Paul is my favorite Beatle and I won’t apologize for it; which is why I’m rocking out to “Drive My Car” live from Coachella right now.
Update: Now “Got To Get You Into My Life,” one of my all-time favorite Beatles songs.

Easy Star All-Stars ft. Frankie Paul - “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds”

ESAS’s latest interpretative dub cover album is The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. I’m not sure if I enjoy it as much as some of their other efforts, but it ain’t easy to tackle The Beatles.

The Beatles - “Revolution”
May 1968 - Esher Demos

Twenty-eight years ago today, John Lennon’s life was taken in a senseless act of violence.  John would now be 68 years old, and while a life dedicated to peace, love, and art was tragically cut short, his message to the world still resonates loud and clear - perhaps more appropriately than ever before: work together and change is possible.

This version of Revolution comes from a 23-song accoustic session known as “The Esher Demos” which captures many of the songs that would eventually comprise the White Album.

‘The Beatles’ (more commonly known as ‘The White Album’ ) was released 40 years ago on 22nd November 1968. Widely held to be one of the most influential albums of all-time, it was recently given the number one position in the ‘200 Rarest Records of All Time’ by ‘Record Collector’ magazine.
Some years ago, this album was taken into the collectors shop named ‘Vinyl Revival Records’ in Newbury, Berkshire, England by a musician (they did not disclose who) who had visited John in the flat that he shared with Yoko in late 1968 (that was owned by Ringo) at 34 Montague Square, Marylebone, London W.1. The musician saw a pile of White Albums on a table and asked for one. John readily agreed, but said ‘Don’t take No.1 - I want that’. Instead he took No. 5’.
The album then passed into the hands of Beatles specialist dealer ‘Good Humour’ who then sold it to its current owner who has now commissioned me to sell it on his behalf.


Very cool.  My White Album vinyl is stamped No. 5445.  I picked it up in a giant Sunday flee market near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin over four years ago.  I didn’t realize they were that hard to find.
