Beatles/White Album Recording Sessions Vol1. 1

“Sgt. Pepper’s” was the first song released by the Beatles, who withdrew from all live activities and concentrated on studio work. This album, created using a variety of glittering sound effects, has a very lively atmosphere. Not only the songs, but also the album jacket was elaborate, and the times were not able to keep up with the evolution and changes of the Beatles, and the interpretation of this album caused debate in the public. LSD is probably the best example of this deep reading. It was Paul who led this flashy “Sgt. Pepper’s.” If John led the band as the leader in the early Beatles, Paul caught up with Rubber Soul and Revolver, and with Sgt. Pepper’s, it is clear that at least the musical initiative has shifted to Paul. . The reason why “Sgt. Pepper’s” appears in the opening lyrics of “How Do You Sleep?” which mocks Paul on the album “Imagine” is because John himself admitted that Paul was leading the band at this time. It is something that This transition from band leader John to Paul had a subtle impact on the interpersonal relationships of the members of the Beatles, who boasted a rock-solid unity, and it is thought that the preparations for disbandment began around this time. The album that followed Sgt. Pepper’s, which reflected this psychedelic era, was “The Beatles”, commonly known as the White Album. During this period, the Beatles established Apple Records, marking the first time their own label was released. He also stayed in India to seek the teachings of Maharishi in search of philosophical meaning, and most of the songs included in the White Album were written during this stay in India. This period of stay in India was from February to April 1968. Then, in May after returning to the UK, all the members gathered at George’s home and recorded a demo. The sound source from this time is called the Esher Demo. Based on this demo sound source, full-scale recording began in June. The White Album was the Beatles’ first double album. As if it were a reaction to their previous album, Sgt. Pepper’s, which was extravagant, the album jacket is even simpler, with only the band’s name embossed on a white background and a number. The album title itself is simply “THE BEATLES”, whereas the previous album had a long, fictitious band name. “The White Album,” a contrast to the previous album, was released in November 1968 and was a huge success in terms of sales. I mentioned earlier that the transfer of musical leadership from John to Paul was a prelude to the breakup of the Beatles, but in reality, during this period, Ringo boycotted recording sessions and did not come to the studio, and recordings were not always done with all four members. You can feel the budding disbandment growing into something you can see throughout the episodes from the “White Album.” Part of this is when people criticize this album, saying that it’s not a band album, but a collection of solo songs. I see, that’s not a mistake in a sense. The reason why the album became a double album, which was disadvantageous in terms of sales, was due to the fact that each member refused to omit their own songs, despite George Martin’s proposal to condense the content into a single album. be. Paul does not try to hide his dislike for “Revolution 9″, but the fact that his opinion to refuse recording was not accepted gives a glimpse of the unstable balance of interpersonal relationships within the band. However, even in such a state, there is no denying the greatness of “The White Album.” In fact, many fans say this is their favorite album. Paul said this in an interview. “People say this album is disconnected or a collection of solo songs, but it’s the Beatles’ White Album. Shut up!” This work includes the session sound source of this White Album. It will be a monumental work, with an unprecedented volume and including many first-time sound sources. There have been many titles that include session sound sources for the White Album, but this work not only covers the existing sound sources, but also includes many first-time sound sources that no one has ever heard.
