Is it, as x suggests, that the drummer on both songs wasn't the Beatles drummer, it was a session musician called Andy White?
ddont be depressed! some of us a bit but not much younger posters would have loved to see some of the city players you saw. and to have been awake in the 1960s which is the greatest music decade ever. and england won the wolrd cup! now i'm feeling depressed and going for a nap.
Now, you see being born a "Sweaty", all your reasons for being English, and being old enough to have enjoyed the 60's, make me happy to come from Jockland............... **** hang on a minute, we had Andy Stewart,Moira Anderson, The White Heather Club........ I feel so depressed now I'm going to Miami!!!!!
No. It is worth noting that pressings of the both the Ringo recording and the Andy White one were released when the single originally came out. (The giveaway on which is which is that Ringo played a tambourine on the Alan White one whereas there is no tambourine on the Ringo one. There is also the Pete Best one on the Anthology collection which they found after long believing no copies existed any longer.) It is that Love Me do and the B side, PS I Love You are the only Beatles songs which were owned by Lennon and McArteney and which they got full royalties on. After the first single Brian Epstein came to an arrangement with Dick James (the bloke who sang the theme for the Robin Hood TV programme in the 1950's) to handle things. He took his cut and ended up in full control. The rights ended up with Michael Jackson and then Yoko Ono. So you had the daft situation that everytime Yesterday is played or recorded, McArteney, who is the only Beatle on the recording having done the drumming as well as guitar gets less money than Jackson or Yoko Ono did. Same with any song which only featured Lennon. and of course all their joint collaborations. Everyone ended up getting stitched up in those days.
your not meant to say that any more! except if your talking about not saying it or if your singing elvis costello songs.
Okay, it was in the style of an Elvis Costello song, sung in the style, and voice of Declan McMannus!!! Will that work??
Macca did have the chance to buy his whole back catalogue for ã20m, but he and Yoko messed about and the deal fell through, they were then sold to Wacko for $47m, so he's really only got himself to blame. In addition, he owns mountains of other peoples rights, which generate tens of millions for him every year, so it's hard to have much sympathy.
ta it always amazes me that other teams know where to go to play them but i suppose there in on the secret now. do you know cowdeneabth have had pooints deducted more times than any other scottich team unless i just made it up.
I quite like being old enough to have experienced the sixties and young enough to still remember them! Budapist, you are a mere child!! I remember the floodlights going up and coming down. I can say the same about the South Stand and the Berlin Wall! I was disappointed to discover my number 1 was Ruby Murray's Softly Softly. Still it will please my dad. He liked her and took us to see her in Torquay in 1966.
I think you might find the solution to other teams finding where to go is........................................................................................Tom-Tom Sat.Nav!!!!!!
Not expressing sympathy, but what happened to them was typical of what happened in the sixties. Dave Clark was the first one to realise that owning masters of the songs was the key to the money and used to lease them back to the record company, consequently every single or album the Dave Clark Five sold made far more per copy for the group than the Beatles or The Stones got. There are groups in the 90's who had a couple of hits and made more money off them than the Beatles and Stones, and many other big selling groups in the 60's made for selling millions more records on their original deals.
