New Worlds (Summer 1962)

Beatles60 ·

2022/08/26

The Casbah Coffee Club was closed. Pete was leaving the group. It was like the end of the introduction of the book of The Beatles. Stress was coming from Parlophone and George Martin, who had not yet accepted that The Beatles should be recording originals. He wanted “How Do You Do It?”, written by Mitch Murray. Meanwhile, Cynthia had some big news for John. The Old World was coming to an end. In the New World, Ringo would join the group and on August 18, 1962, The Beatles were complete. George

Songwriting, charisma, serendipity (June 1962)

Beatles60 ·

2022/07/02

We’ve talked before about the circumstances surrounding the signing of The Beatles. But what is even more important is how their relationship with George Martin blossomed. Martin cared little about The Beatles and didn’t care that much for their music. He was happy to pass on the responsibility of recording our boys to his assistant, Ron Richards. But something else happened. In this episode of The Beatles60 podcast we’re talking about how Martin was won over by the charisma of The Beatles. Also,

EMI (grudgingly) signs the Beatles [May 1962]

Beatles60 ·

2022/05/27

One of the earliest told stories of the signing of The Beatles to EMI’s Parlophone Records division in May of 1962 goes like this: While Brian Epstein was having the Decca audition tapes transferred to acetate for easier distribution to labels, the songs were heard by Sid Colman, who ran EMI’s Ardmore and Beechwood Publishing division. He was interested in obtaining the publishing rights to The Beatles’ original songs. And that’s where the story seems to split into different tellings. Brian Epstein

The death of Stuart Sutcliffe

Beatles60 ·

2022/05/01

Members of The Beatles, John and Paul especially, had experienced loss in their young lives. Both had lost their mothers while they were teenagers. John had also lost his Uncle George, who was more like a father to him than his actual father. But as a unit, The Beatles had never had to deal with the level of tragedy that would come in April of 1962. Stuart Sutcliffe’s influence on The Beatles started as soon as he joined the group in January of 1960. He helped come up with the band’s name and was

Beatles rejected, Stu lives, Ringo returns: March 1962

Beatles60 ·

2022/03/20

Decca Records famously rejected The Beatles a few weeks after their January 1, 1962 audition. Dick Rowe, the head of the company, reportedly told Brian Epstein that “groups of guitarists are on their way out.” Rowe would deny that he ever said that, but nevertheless, Decca did not end up signing The Beatles and Epstein had the sad duty of relaying the bad news to the boys. But was it really all that bad of a thing? Imagine The Beatles being labelmates with Cliff Richard and never working with George

Truth and Method: how we understand the past

Beatles60 ·

2022/02/20

Small scale history such as that of a pop group is inevitably filled with incredible coincidences, randomness, quirks, strangeness and charm. To revisit the lifeworlds of young adults in 1962 as they climbed their way to the toppermost is by nature a kind of hermeneutical study. Sounds fancy? It's just another word for interpretation/understanding. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We have a HUGE set of links to accompany this episode. Please see the illustrated page. You'll laugh.

The Beatles in Manchester

The Beatles first played at the Oasis Club on February 2, 1962. Six days later they were at The Playhouse Theatre to audition for a BBC radio performance. They passed the audition, so on March 7 they were back at the same theatre to record three songs for the BBC radio show, “Teenager’s Turn – Here We Go.” It was the first time they wore suits in front of an audience. The show was aired the next day. What do all of these things have in common? They all took place in Manchester! Note: on a special

The Mind of Brian: late January 1962

Beatles60 ·

2022/01/28

January of 1962 was the beginning of Brian Epstein managing The Beatles. He got to work right away. He started by convincing Deutsche Grammophon’s Polydor Records division to release 'My Bonnie,' the song that they had recorded in Hamburg in June of 1961 backing Tony Sheridan, as a single in the UK. That would happen on January 5, 1962. Added bonus, instead of crediting the group as Tony Sheridan and The Beat Brothers, Epstein convinced them to call them Tony Sheridan and The Beatles. It’s success

Mother Mersey: early January 1962

2022 is the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese Zodiac, as was 1962. And that year was a huge one for The Beatles. It started with an audition with Decca Records, on New Year’s Day. Four days later they would technically have their first UK single release, when Germany’s Polydor Records released the version of “My Bonnie” that they had recorded in June of 1961. It would go out under the name Tony Sheridan and The Beatles. Neither of those two events ended up amounting to much, but at least things were

Calling London: late December 1961

2021/12/25

In December of 1961, Sam Leach tried to get The Beatles a show in London. The results were disastrous. Meanwhile, Brian Epstein was setting up an official photo session for December 17 arranging an audition for The Beatles with Decca Records for January 1. We talk about it all in this week’s Beatles60 podcast, Calling London. Merseyside promoter Sam Leach wasn’t having much luck. He thought that it was about time for The Beatles to start playing shows in London, so he booked them to play at The

Waiting for the bliss: early December 1961

Beatles60 ·

2021/12/11

The Beatles met with Brian Epstein once or twice around the end of November or beginning of December of 1961. Brian hoped to convince the group that he should become their manager, despite his lack of experience in that type of position. The meetings may have come just in time. The Beatles had become more and more frustrated at playing the same venues around Liverpool over and over again with no prospect of gaining a larger UK audience. They were popular in Hamburg as well, but the prospect of just

Meanwhile, at Parlophone

We all have an idea of the importance of George Martin to the history of The Beatles. But he didn’t just come out of nowhere. At age 24, he got a job with EMI. In 1955, at the age of 29, he became the head of Parlophone Records and found a great deal of success, especially with comedy records, featuring Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, and more. His success allowed him the freedom to experiment with film scores, electronic music, and anything else he could think of. But the one thing that he really

Epstein meets the Beatles

Beatles60 ·

2021/11/16

We’ve heard the story for years. A young Beatles fan named Raymond Jones walked into the record department at Brian Epstein’s store, Nems (North End Music Store). He asked for “My Bonnie” by The Beatles. As the disc was a German release, Nems had no copies. But Epstein had a policy to find any disc a customer asked for, and that was what started the search that would result in Epstein finding The Beatles playing a lunchtime show at The Cavern Club on November 9, 1961. On that date, what many
