Guide to the Recording Equipment, Songs and Instruments Featured on The Beatles' 'Revolver' Album

Revolver is the album that made the Beatles recording artists in the absolute sense of the term.Their previous six albums had demonstrated John Lennon and Paul McCartney's increasingly ambitious songwriting skills and the group's competence with a range of musical styles. But the productions, while strong, were undistinguished.

Ringo Starr says taking producer's role on new album was 'so much fun'

Ringo Starr, in a new magazine interview, says the idea of self-producing his latest album “Ringo 2012” made him so nervous originally he phoned a friend to lend a hand, but later changed his mind and decided to produce it himself.The former Beatle tells writer Howie Edelson in the*latest issue of Beatlefan (#159),"I got a little insecure, and I actually did call Mike Bradford, the bass player. I called him up and said, 'Look, I’m doing this myself, maybe I’m gonna need some help. I’m still insecure. I’ve never produced before.' And then two weeks later I called him back and I said, 'Look, I know I said I need you, but I’m having so much fun. I’m just gonna do this myself.'”

Ringo Starr's first All-Starr Band was heavenly to see and hear

They were the first ones out of the gate, but as time goes by, it's becoming increasingly clear that the first version of Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band from 1989, which included Levon Helm, who died today, was one hell of a super group.There was Joe Walsh from the Eagles, now Ringo's brother-in-law, on guitar. Billy Preston, the only outside musician ever to get credit on a Beatles record, played keyboards. The legendary Dr. John also played keyboards.

The film: Strange Fruit: The Beatles’ Apple Records (2012), available on DVD via Chrome Dreams.Why It’s an Inessential Essential: Clocking in at a mammoth 162 minutes, Strange Fruit: The Beatles’ Apple Records is an exhaustive new documentary about the short-lived record and film label that the Beatles used to release such artists as Badfinger and James Taylor. And while the absence of Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney and the lack of archival interview footage of the Beatles is striking (John Lennon only chimes in around the 135-minute mark), that’s also sort of liberating: The film takes a semi-critical look at why Apple, a label that was meant to have established artists promote new artists, never really took off.

In the course of time she has been associated with Conceptual Art, performances, Fluxus and happenings, but above all she has been an independent artist, a pioneer, who has decisively questioned the concept of art and the art object and has broken down the traditional boundaries between branches of art.

Paul Robert Gibbs Entertained the Beatles in Key West
KEY WEST, Fla. — Paul Robert Gibbs passed on to the next stage of his journey, peacefully at his home on Sunday, April 22, 2012, one week after celebrating his 97th birthday.

On Sept. 11, 1964, the start-up Beatles were in the midst of their first North American tour and scheduled for a concert appearance at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. They left Montreal, Canada, that morning, only to have their charter plane diverted to Key West because Hurricane Dora was ravaging the northeast Florida coast. It was Paul who was the manager on duty that day and welcomed them to the Key Wester. The Beatles left two days later for a make-up concert in Jacksonville on Sept. 13, but not without having been graced by Paul's delightful wit, charm and infectious laughter. A lover of life, he exemplified “full participation," holding season tickets to the local theaters until his mid-90s where he sat in the same front-row seat year after year. He was an avid supporter of the arts and befriended many actors in our community.
