Notice how numerous record companies TRIED to make something of the Mop
Head Four (AKA The Beatles), and it wasn't until Capitol Records,
encouraged (you know, pay to play), radio stations to promote their
songs, so they would become "famous" and Capitol would make lots of money?

Notice how numerous record companies didn't even TRY to promote them
until they started touring in the states and then everybody wanted a
piece of them, but by then it was too late for the other companies?

You fucking idiot. If that's what they owed their success to (as you
imply here) then why have no other groups been AS successful for AS long?

Ever notice their song writing skills were weak, so they had to cover
numerous R&B songs?

Ever notice they never had a TV show, because they were poor actors?

Ever notice while some groups were able to record a hit in one or two
Takes, it's took The Beatles MANY Takes to get it right, because they
were wonderful musicians?

Ever notice....

Uni,

Listen to the Decca demo tapes they made. That's how The Beatles sounded
before Capital. Now listen to their first album. It was made AFTER George
Martin made them listen to the demo "How Do You Do It?" by The Dave Clark
Five. They copied the DC5 sound and became famous. That's why people thought
the DC5 sounded like The Beatles.

That is simply amazing, that Mitch Murray had enough money to hire such
a hot group as the Dave Clark Five to record a demo for him.

I learn so much from reading this group.

Their versions actually cut the originals in almost every case, you
stupid fuck. They had to cover R&B because their schedule was so fucking
hectic after people started demanding their time. Because of the songs
THEY WROTE. A Hard Days Night, 1964, all Lennon/McCartney.

Or are you saying the Stones, Hollies, Animals, etc. are also weak
because THEY covered R&B songs?


>
> Ever notice they never had a TV show, because they were poor actors?

And the acting by the four Beatles in A Hard Days Night is revered as
the greatest ever, almost universally, out of the gate, by rock
musicians with virtually no training whatsoever. You can't argue with
success, Uni-tard.

The Beatles actually applied what they call 'craft' to their studio
experiences, more than any artist previous or really since. Their first
album, recorded in less than a day notwithstanding. And THAT is still
recognized as one of the great debuts in rock history.

Oh, I see. So, they initially had no time to write songs, so they
covered R&B tunes. But, later, they had ample time to write, since their
popularity became scarce, such as a White Album.

Yes, the White Album was a definite sign of The Beatles waning
popularity. I mean, Sergeant Pepper (the UK predecessor) was #1 for 15
weeks, Abbey Road, released the next year, was only #1 for 17. And
judging by the fact that this double album was #1 for 8 weeks, and has
sold almost 20 million copies thus far, it's clear that the White
Album's unpopularity continues unabated.

Ever notice how very single point you made to begin this thread was
totally inaccurate? Try, you ignorant fuck.

Why as them, ask me.

The Beatles used their "craft" in the recording studio to learn songs
written for them. They had their short time on the charts, unlike Elvis,
who was more mature and outlasted their immaturities.

Well, the same record buying public that made "Winchester Cathdral" a
number one hit determined those numbers also. I don't rely on the record
buying public to tell me what I like. I don't like much from any of those
Beatles albums.

assertion has been disproved by me. Nothing to do with personal taste.

Who wrote songs specifically for the Beatles?

Also, I see you never read Guralnick's Elvis bio, which gives the lie to
your Elvis maturity statement. The Beatles music got MORE refined and
intricate with time. Elvis' less so. You fucking idiot wankstain.

As for their short time on the charts, in that short time they outsold
every other artist on the planet. Including Elvis. In fact, they ground
his sales records into fine little bits.

Let's put it this way, fucknut. The Beatles had 5 #1 albums AFTER THEY
BROKE UP!

I would say, after their hit "Paperback Writer", their popularity began
to diminish. A year later, their producer committed suicide, popping a
bottle of sleeping pills. Probably felt depressed for what he helped create!

Really? So Sgt Pepper was unpopular? The White Album? Abbey Road?
1962-1966? 1967-1970? Anthologies 1,2, and 3? "1"?

Their three biggest selling albums came after 1966, and you somehow say
their popularity was diminishing?

So you judge popularity not by record sales but by TV appearances? In
this regard, Topo Gigio was more popular than the Rolling Stones. Is
that your assertion?

Or have you conveniently forgotten all the poorly researched, idiotic
assertions you began this thread with?

Hey Jude, Revolution, Hello Goodbye, All You Need is Love. All seminal
moments of television. Moments that still resonate today. I'm starting
to think you simply don't know what you're talking about.

Never caught Topo Gigio having to redo his performances, dropping a
hideous church sounding organ opening. Hurry, Stones, re-record it so
those "Classic Rock" radio stations will play it and think you're so

Even if we accept that the Dave Clark Five played on the Murray demo,
how do we know what the Dave Clark Five sounded like in 1962?

. . . or that the performance on the demo influenced the Beatles sound?

. . . or that any perceived change in the Beatles sound from and after
the Decca audition tape may be attributable to factors having nothing to
do with the Dave Clark Five -- such as having Ringo Starr replacing Pete
Best?

Isn't it largely accepted now, even by fans of the Dave Clark Five, that
Dave Clark Five recording sessions were secretive and that Clark brought
in outside musicians in lieu of the actual group members to play on the
records?

Do you hear any substantial difference between the style in the Beatles'
recording of Buddy Holly's Crying, Waiting, Hoping on the Decca audition
tape on January 1, 1962 and in their recording of the same song for the
BBC on July 16, 1963 -- after they listened to the Murray demo?

Nice straw man, fucktard.


Once again, please show us evidence that the Beatles popularity was
diminishing after 1966. I have shown conclusively that this is not so.


Let's see it. Don't ask one of your meaningless rhetorical questions
that lead nowhere. Show us proof, or admit you're wrong.

Their popularity wasn't waning, but their image was changing. Maybe that's

Notice how they never started a lot of their biggest hits with an
instrumental intro?
Notable exceptions: "I Shoulda Know Better" [1964], "Strawberry
Fields' [1967],
"All You Need Is Love' [1967], "I Am The Walrus" [1967], "Lady
Madonna" [1968],

He must be employed at EMI-Capitol. Doesn't like anything bad being said
about The Beatles. But, then again, the Capitol Records engineers didn't
like The Beatles! How did one put it, "a group of egotistic".. whatevers.

properly for me, so I don't know what their claim is or how they back it up.

Even the 2CD History of The Dave Clark 5 which has extensive historical
notes ONLY mentions I Like It.

Seems to me whoever wrote your fan site made an assumption and posted it
without any particular evidence. You should look around at more than one
source.

Nevertheless, I suppose given their proximity to the other tunes they cut
that a vague possibility does exist. So I will consider that there is a
slight chance, certainly not a fact, that they might have cut that demo.
Unless you can provide something more definitive that is about as good as I
can do.

The Beatles were just a bunch of nobodies. Music wasn't good enough to

until some rich person hired writers, passed tons of Payola, hired OTHER

No, they just had the luxury, after their initial success, of screwing

they could've done several cuts into recording a new song. Skuse the

"Oblique" is a drag!

THE FOLLOWING QUOTATION IS CLAIMED AS 'FAIR USE' UNDER 17 U.S.C. § 107.

(Begin quote)

Interesting information has recently come to light about the Beatles'
recording of 'How Do You Do It'. Most surprising is the discovery that
they considerably re-arranged Mitch Murray's composition. George Martin
had mailed the group an acetate-disc of the original demo and they must
have spent some time adapting it to suit their particular style. (Taped
and cut at Regent Sound Studios in Denmark Street, central London, in
summer 1962, the demo was sung by another aspiring songwriter Barry
Mason, backed by the then unknown London group the Dave Clark Five. It
was intended to interest Adam Faith and, as a consequence, was performed
in a light, skipalong style.) Later, when the Beatles' recording was
passed over and the song was given instead to Gerry and the Pacemakers,
it was their re-arrangement which Gerry copied, not Murray's original.

(End of quote)

Copyright Mark Lewisohn 1992.

What do we learn from the above?

(1) That the Dave Clark Five did in fact play on Murray's demo.

(2) That the Beatles REJECTED the musical style of the demo and adapted
the song to THEIR musical style, and rejected the style of the demo.

(3) That Gerry & the Pacemakers' hit version was influenced by the
Beatles recording and not by the Dave Clark Five.

The myopia is really astounding. The Beatles were a phenomenon
throughout Europe before they came to the States, and it was Ed
Sullivan more than anyone else who recognized the band's appeal. When
their first record ("Please Please Me") arrived here, it didn't
exactly shoot up the charts and, when Murray "the K" Kaufman played it
on his Record Review Board, it scored a poor third out of five. Though
Kaufman became associated with the group early on, his involvement
only began after he was approached by Brian Epstein, who was hoping to
capitalize on Kaufman's top-of-the-ratings popularity in New York,
which was then the top music market in the nation. Sullivan was the
catalyst for the band's nationwide success, since TV carried the band
into virtually every home in America. And, unlike so many acts that
are engineered into popularity through marketing, the Beatles were a
true fan-driven phenomenon. Any DJ who rejected them did so at his own
peril... with the possible exception of the jocks in the South who
fueled the anti-Beatles sentiment following Lennon's "We're more
popular than Jesus" remark. Yet the band's innovations and
inventiveness (with a great deal of help from George Martin), their
combination of English music hall tradition ("Penny Lane," "Martha My
Dear," et al.) with new combinations of nearly-poetic lyrics ("Eleanor
Rigby," "She's Leaving Home") and music (sitars, synthesizers, etc.)
kept them interesting and surprising -- with or without help from
their label (before establishing their own), their distributor, or
their promoters.

I didn't hear an apology. I'd rather hear something like:
"Dear Bradley, please forgive me for being a little smacked behind. I
apologize".

Don't stand their lip service! :-)

What are you guys..... err, forgive me, things talking about? Where
they'll have enough room to bury my CD collection? Grand Canyon? Yeah,
possibly. Actually, the Library Of Congress will probably want it!

That too. Especially considering that burial would be the proper
disposition of it.

Only if they're looking for a bad example, ... or a selection of

If I can just butt in....the "Bits and Pieces" site is mine and I
wrote the piece about the DC5 doing the original demos of "How Do You
Do It" and "I Like It". The info came straight from the horses mouth
so to speak...it was from an interview I did with Mitch Murray in
1997. Mitch still has those 2 demos.
thanks,

P.S. How are you doin Bradley, long time no hear.

Sadly I didn't. It was a long distance telephone interview with Mitch
at his home on the Isle Of Man. Although I spoke to him for about an
hour mainly regarding his work with the DC5 I never got to hear the
actual demos. Mitch did tell me that the demo with Barry Mason singing
can be heard on the video version of the Beatles anthology.

I think the Decca version is only available on boots, one of which is not
surprisingly called "The Decca Demos". The 2d is on the official "Live at
the BBC" CD but first appeared on boots also.

I put the booted version here (for a couple of days):

The other is easily obtained commercially and otherwise so I won't bother
with that one.

Didn't Brian Epstein buy 10,000 copies of Beatle records, to put them
on the charts?

Not true. If their songs were weak, then why were they so successful?

They had no time for a TV show.
