“Penny Lane” is a song by The Beatles, written by Paul McCartney, recorded during the Sgt. Pepper sessions, and released in February 1967 as one side of a double A-sided single, along with John Lennon’s “Strawberry Fields Forever”. The song was later included on the Magical Mystery Tour LP (1967). The single was the result of the record company wanting a new release after several months of no new Beatles releases. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the song at #449 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Background The song’s title is derived from the name of a street in the band’s hometown, Liverpool. The area that surrounds its junction with Smithdown Road is also commonly called Penny Lane. Locally the term “Penny Lane” was the name given to Allerton Road and Smithdown Road and its busy shopping area. Penny Lane is named after James Penny, an 18th century slave trader. McCartney and Lennon grew up in the area and they would meet at Penny Lane junction in the Mossley Hill area to catch a bus into the centre of the city. The street is an important landmark, sought out by most Beatles fans touring Liverpool. In the past, street signs saying “Penny Lane” were constant targets of tourist theft and had to be continually replaced. Eventually, city officials gave up and simply began painting the street name on the sides of buildings. This practice was stopped in 2007 and more theft-resistant “Penny Lane” street signs have since been installed though some are still stolen …

“Tomorrow Never Knows” is the final track of The Beatles’ 1966 studio album Revolver but the first to be recorded. Credited as a Lennon/McCartney song, it was written primarily by John Lennon. An innovative recording, it contributed to Revolver’s reputation as one of the group’s most influential and expressive albums. Music critic Richie Unterberger of Allmusic said it was “the most experimental and psychedelic track on Revolver, in both its structure and production.” The song has a vocal put through a Leslie speaker cabinet (which was normally used as a loudspeaker for a Hammond organ) and uses automatic double tracking (ADT) to double the vocal image. Tape loops prepared by Paul McCartney were mixed in and out of the Indian-inspired modal backing underpinned by Ringo Starr’s irregular drum pattern. “Within You Without You” is a song written by George Harrison and released on The Beatles’ 1967 album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It features only Harrison and a group of uncredited Indian musicians, although producer George Martin arranged the string section, and Harrison and assistant Neil Aspinall played the tambura. According to Prema Music, dilrubha player Amrit Gajjar played on the track. It is the second of Harrison’s songs to be explicitly influenced by Indian classical music, after “Love You To”, and Harrison’s only composition on Sgt. Pepper. “Within You Without You” was written on a harmonium at the house of long-time Beatles friend Klaus Voormann …

COPYRIGHT 1967 EMI RECORDS LTD. Within You Without You” is a song written by George Harrison and released on The Beatles’ 1967 album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It features only Harrison and a group of uncredited Indian musicians, although producer George Martin arranged the string section, and Harrison and assistant Neil Aspinall played the tambura. According to Prema Music, dilrubha player Amrit Gajjar played on the track.[1] It is the second of Harrison’s songs to be explicitly influenced by Indian classical music, after “Love You To”, and Harrison’s only composition on Sgt. Pepper. “Within You Without You” was written on a harmonium at the house of long-time Beatles friend Klaus Voormann, while “there were lots of joints being smoked”.[2] The song, originally written as a 30-minute piece and trimmed down into a mini-version for the album, is in Mixolydian mode.[3] The laughter at the end was Harrison’s idea to lighten the mood and follow the theme of the album. Sped up to C#, an instrumental version at the original speed and key appears on the Anthology 2 album. The song was also included on the 2006 remix album Love. For this album, George Harrison’s lyrics and melody were mixed over the rhythm of “Tomorrow Never Knows”, and elements of the percussion were placed alongside “Love You To” in “Here Comes the Sun”. The blending of these two similar songs is considered the most effective form of mashup on the album.[4] All of the music for Love was remixed and …

The oldies are classified as music from the time period of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Most oldies music is classified under the genres of pop, rock and R&B. There were a lot of progressive musical movements including Motown, the British Invasion, and doo wop which inspired fashion styles, community, and a way of life.

An oldies band that never went out of style was the Beatles. Their music has inspired the world for years and started the hype with the British Invasion. The British Invasion was a group of bands from Great Britain whose music became popular in the United States. Just recently, Rock Band video game came out with a Beatles edition. Rock band allows users to act as if they are in the band and play music on game controls such as a guitar, bass guitar, or drum set. The Beatles edition for rock band is a compilation all of their greatest hits.

The Beatles fame lasted for a span of ten years from the 1960s until the 1970s. The band originated in Liverpool and consisted of members John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. They were dubbed with the nickname, “The fab four from Liverpool.” Not only were they a success in England, but their fame and fortune reached the United States. The RIAA, Recording Industry Association of America, states that they have sold more albums than any other band or solo artist in the United States (www.riaa.com). The Beatles produced number ones hits that are still popular today and can be heard on Internet Radio and traditional radio.

From 1962 until 1976 they had 42 number one hit singles. A list of all the number one singles can be found on The Beatles Number One Hits singles website (www.bopped.com). Their first hit in 1962 was called, “Love Me Do.” This song first became popular in England and didn’t top the number one charts in the United States until 1964.

In 1963, they had 5 chart topping hits. One of the more memorable hits during that year was “Twist and Shout.” Not only was it a great song, but there were also fun dance moves to accompany it. They almost doubled the amounts of number one hit singles in 1964 with nine songs. A memorable song during that year which most people know and can hear on oldies radio station is “A Hard Day’s Night.”

They continued to dominate the charts with eight singles in 1965. After that the amount of singles started to taper off. Between 1966 and 1969 they only produced four number one hits per year. Success for the Beatles started to slow down in the 70s when they only had two hits in 1970 and one in 1976.

I enjoy every era of The Beatles career but my very favorite Beatles album is The White and that may be why my favorite disc of The Beatles Anthology series is disc one of Anthology 3. Many of the songs on disc one of Anthology 3 are from The White Album.

This article takes a track by track look at each of the 27 tracks on disc one.

1. “A Beginning” – This orchestral piece composed by The Beatles producer George Martin was originally meant as an intro for the Ringo sung (and Ringo written) “Don’t Pass Me By” on The White Album. I’m not a huge fan of this track but it works reasonably well as an introduction to Anthology 3.

2. “Happiness Is a Warm Gun” – This is a very basic demo version of one of my favorite songs on The White Album. It’s fascinating to me to hear such a stripped down basic early version of this song. It’s interesting to me as a way of looking into John Lennon’s creative process.

3. “Helter Skelter” – A very different version from the one well known on The White Album. Very slow like a death march. In some ways I think it’s even more intense than the final version. Although I do think they made the right choice in going with the faster version.

4. “Mean Mr. Mustard” – A very cool home demo made by John Lennon. As it’s such a simple song anyway this is pretty close to the final version. Note “sister Shelley.”

5. “Polythene Pam” – Another home demo. I like hearing these early simple versions of these songs.

6. “Glass Onion” – Includes some bizarre gibberish from John Lennon.

7. “Junk” – This song wasn’t ever released as a Beatles song. It wasn’t released until Paul McCartney put it on his debut solo album in 1970. I like this version of this song a lot. It has a simple beauty.

8. “Piggies” – Pork Chops!

9. “Honey Pie” – The Beatles take on music hall style music.

10. “Don’t Pass Me By” – Definitely not one of The Beatles best moments but it’s enjoyable enough. Even on The Beatles not so great songs there’s usually some cool bits hidden in there. I like the drumming on this one.

11. “Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da” – This has a strange sort of sound in comparison to the version people are most familiar with from The White Album. It’s hard to pinpoint what exactly makes it sound strange. I always notice the missing “ring” & “foot” backing vocals.

12. “Good Night” – Another not so great moment. Sorry Ringo! Although I think this one is more John Lennon’s fault (he wrote it.) This is one of the few Beatles songs that has never really grown on me.

13. “Cry Baby Cry” – Excellent. Not as good as the version on The White Album but still very good and there’s some neat bass sounds on this one we don’t hear on the final version.

14. “Blackbird” – Great song of course.

15. “Sexy Sadie” – I like this version a lot. It may be on par with The White Album version.

16. “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” – This is one of the highlights of Anthology 3. While I definitely prefer the heavier version on The White Album what I like about this is getting to hear such a different vision of this song.

17. “Hey Jude” – Cool version. I kind of like that the “nanana” doesn’t go on forever like on the official version.

18. “Not Guilty” – This song wasn’t released on a Beatles album. In fact it wasn’t released at all until George Harrison put it on his self titled album in 1979. I dig the guitar sounds on the outro a lot.

19. “Mother Nature’s Son” – Nice.

20. “Glass Onion” – Cool version of a great song.

21. “Rocky Raccoon” – I’ve always enjoyed this alternate version of this fun song. The flubbed lyrics make it all that much more enjoyable.

22. “What’s The New Mary Jane” – This song is absolutely insane which is why I love it. It was never released officially until Anthology 3.

23. “Step Inside Love/Los Paranoias” – “Step Inside Love” is a song that McCartney wrote for another singer (Cilla Black.) It’s very groovy to hear McCartney sing this song and I’ve always got a kick out of the silliness that is “Los Paranoias.”

24. “I’m So Tired” – Another one of my favorites on The White Album (I have a lot of favorites.)

25. “I Will” – Yup, here’s another one.

26. “Why Don’t We Do It In The Road” – I love hearing McCartney go crazy with the vocals. This may be the best example of him going all over the place vocally.

27. “Julia” – A beautiful song and a great way to close out disc one just as it closes out disc one of The White Album.
