JamsBio - The Story of Your Life Through Music A Guide to the Strange, Little-Known, Hard-to-Find Beatles Christmas Recordings Little in my life has enriched me more than the Beatles or Christmas—in different (and yet dovetailing) ways. And there is one enriching aspect of the Beatles’ catalog that is so rare, that it falls between the worlds of official product and bootleg. This wasn’t a commercial record, it wasn’t a bootleg, it was its own thing, like the holiday season itself. I’m talking about the band’s annual Christmas message to the members of their fan club. The Beatles never cut a proper, commercial Christmas record, which is interesting, in a way, given that there’s no shortage of fine pop Christmas music. The four of them even came up with their own word, like a code, to describe this private world of Christmas cheer: Chrimble. On one such adventure one July day, I found a pirated copy of a 1970 Beatles LP that was pressed up for the band’s stateside fan-club contingent.
John Lennon Lennon's signature John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born John Winston Lennon; 9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician, singer and songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as a founder member of rock group the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music. With Paul McCartney, he formed a songwriting partnership that is one of the most celebrated of the 20th century. Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, writing, drawings, on film and in interviews. Controversial through his political and peace activism, he moved to Manhattan in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a lengthy attempt by Richard Nixon's administration to deport him, while some of his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement and the larger counterculture. Biography 1940–57: Early years Early childhood home in Liverpool He regularly visited his cousin, Stanley Parkes, who lived in Fleetwood.

How Have Your Travels Influenced Your Songwriting? Jul Here, there and everywhere: with multiple world tours under his belt and a thirst for exploring new places, Paul has ticked off an impressive list of international destinations throughout his career. From playing to a record-breaking 184,000 fans in Brazil, to writing and recording new music in Jamaica, it’s clear that – like the rest of us – Paul has a touch of 'Wanderlust’. While travel is sadly limited between many countries at the moment, we can’t help thinking about those places far away from home, and the Paul McCartney fans that live there. It’s been on our mind so much that we even gave this month’s ‘Sticking Out Of My Back Pocket’ playlist a ‘travel’ theme! And all this got us wondering: just how much has travel directly influenced Paul’s songwriting over the years? So when we saw two questions for Paul on social media on this exact topic, it felt like the perfect time to get some answers… Adrian on Facebook: Throughout your career you’ve ventured around the world.
The Beatles The Beatles were an English rock band that formed in Liverpool, in 1960. With John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the greatest and most influential act of the rock era.[1] Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several genres, ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements in innovative ways. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as their songwriting grew in sophistication they came to be perceived as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions. History 1957–62: formation, Hamburg, and UK popularity In March 1957, John Lennon, then aged sixteen, formed a skiffle group with several friends from Quarry Bank school. Koschmider had converted a couple of strip clubs in the district into music venues, and he initially placed the Beatles at the Indra Club. "British Invasion"
Led Zeppelin Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Led Zeppelin foi uma banda britânica de rock, formada em Londres em setembro de 1968. A banda consistia no guitarrista Jimmy Page, o vocalista Robert Plant, o baixista e tecladista John Paul Jones e o baterista John Bonham. Com o seu som pesado de guitarra, e o som de blues rock de seus dois primeiros álbuns, o Led Zeppelin é frequentemente reconhecido como um dos progenitores do hard rock e heavy metal. Álbuns posteriores do grupo visaram uma experimentação maior e foram acompanhados por extensos recordes e concertos que renderam à banda uma reputação pelos seus excessos e a sua devassidão. Led Zeppelin é amplamente considerado como um dos grupos de rock mais bem sucedidos, inovadores e influentes da história.

The Doors The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The band took its name from the title of Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, which itself was a reference to a William Blake quotation, from his famous work The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."[3] They were among the most controversial, influential and unique rock acts of the 1960s and beyond, mostly because of Morrison's wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio until finally disbanding in 1973.[4] The band, their work, and Morrison's celebrity continue to be considered inexorably embedded within the larger counterculture of the 1960s.[10][11][12][13][14] History[edit] 1965–68[edit] Debut album[edit]
Pink Floyd Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London. They achieved international acclaim with their progressive and psychedelic music. Distinguished by their use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, extended compositions and elaborate live shows, they are one of the most commercially successful and musically influential groups in the history of popular music. Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, followed by Waters in 1985, declaring it a "spent force". Pink Floyd were inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. 1963–67: early years Formation In September 1963, Waters and Mason moved into a flat at 39 Stanhope Gardens, near Crouch End London, owned by Mike Leonard, a part-time tutor at the nearby Hornsey College of Art and the Regent Street Polytechnic. Noble and Metcalfe left the Tea Set in late 1963, and Klose introduced the band to singer Chris Dennis, a technician with the Royal Air Force (RAF). Signing with EMI Animals The Wall
Stuart Sutcliffe Stuart Fergusson Victor Sutcliffe (23 June 1940 – 10 April 1962) was a British artist and musician best known as the original bassist for the Beatles. Sutcliffe left the band to pursue his career as an artist, having previously attended the Liverpool College of Art. Sutcliffe and John Lennon are credited with inventing the name, "Beatals", as they both liked Buddy Holly's band, the Crickets. The band used this name for a while until Lennon decided to change the name to "the Beatles", from the word Beat. When the Beatles played in Hamburg, he met photographer Astrid Kirchherr, to whom he was later engaged. While studying in Germany, Sutcliffe began experiencing severe headaches and acute sensitivity to light. Early years[edit] Sutcliffe's father, Charles Sutcliffe (1905 – 18 March 1966), was a senior civil servant, who moved to Liverpool to help with wartime work in 1943, and then signed on as a ship's engineer, and so was often at sea during his son's early years.
