Интересно было бы точно узнать дату этого запрета. Возможно под ту же статью были внесены одновременно вместе с ЛСД и амфетамины, с которыми были у Стоунз такие серьезные проблемы во всех отношениях. Так прояснился бы контекст того же "Доктора Роберта".

>Продолжу за Вас: "лёжа на проститутке" и "продавая героин"...
Достаточно примеров в истории, когда нечто подобное творчеству, отнюдь, не мешало. А иногда даже способствовало. Чего например не скажешь, о преувеличении роли компрессоров во время студийной работы Битлз...

Отчетливо осознав подлинную сущность прошлого успеха и определившись с мотивами, он достиг уровня — как в профессиональном, так и в личном плане, — на котором еще одна «My Sweet Lord» была бы простой интермедией. В те дни гораздо больший доход ему приносила «HandMade Films», снимавшая в среднем четыре-пять фильмов в год, нежели авторские гонорары от «Somewhere In England». Джорджа беспокоила конкуренция в сфере киноиндустрии. «На Восточном побережье США многие фильмы не приносят больших доходов. Их держат там в течение шести-девяти месяцев, инвестируя наши деньги, но это мафия, и с этим ничего не поделаешь». Тем не менее дела «HandMade Films» шли в гору: Боб Хоскинс удостоился статуэтки BAFTA как лучший актер, за роль в «Mona Lisa», а Джордж и Денис получили от герцогини Кентской приз за вклад «HandMade Films в развитие британского киноискусства. На глазах миллионов телезрителей Би-би-си ликующий Джордж запечатлел поцелуй на щеке члена королевской семьи.

Даже чайнику должно быть очевидно, что успех группы нельзя в значительной мере ассоциировать с уникальностью ее звука. А уникальность звука нельзя объяснять хоть каким угодно хитрым приборчиком.
К тому же:
"Сохранились, кстати, записи битловской игры и пения без участия Мартина — с концертов, радио, телевидения (вот время было — везде живьем пели! Вернется ли когда-нибудь?) Все то — а не то".
Что бы сказал Макаревич по поводу записей сделанных на Шведском ТВ? А там есть что послушать безо всяких компрессоров...

Просто помечтать, представить. Синтия бы передачки носила, а обратно возращалась с демо-версиями новых песен, которые бы остальные Битлз записывали с Джеффом Линном вроде "Free As Bird"...

The London flat of cosmetic dentist John Riley, as pictured circa 1963, two years before he invited John & George round for dinner/conversation/spiked coffee. The full story of what happened here has been told many times, but for those seeking an eye-witness account, and a picture of Riley himself, Steve Turner's excellent tome The Gospel According To The Beatles has the details; it includes an interview with Riley's then girlfriend, who was also present that night. Incidentally, in addition to supplying John, George and spouses with their first acid
Кстати, ЛСД было запрещено в Штатах в районе 66-67. Видимо, одновременно и в Англии. В этой связи опасения могут быть понятны. С учетом количества имевшегося у Леннона, он до сих пор сидел бы в тюрьме.
In the United Kingdom, LSD is a class A drug. This means that possession of the drug without a license is punishable with 7 years imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine, and trafficking is punishable with life imprisonment and an unlimited fine
In 1957, Thelma Pickles entered Liverpool College of Art. Helen Anderson introduced her to John Lennon. John was sitting on the "signing in" table in front of the collage with Tony Carricker.
"My eyes definitely set on John. Tony was prettier, more handsome, with dark hair and dark eyes, but John was so powerful. When he was in a group like that, the focus of attention went to him. He had a presence. I found him very striking from that moment on"
Thelma and John`s friendship blossomed when they were in no hurry to go home and sat on the steps of the Queen Victoria monument for a talk near the bus terminal. During this time, John started calling her "Thel". In February of 1958, John and Thelma became a couple, becoming close by the understanding of broken families.
"Most people stopped short. They were probably frighten of him, and on occasions, there were certainly fights. But with me, he met someone with almost the same background"
At first, Thelma believed that John didn`t care about his father`s leaving, but realized that he did care.
"As I got to know him, he obviously cared. But what I realized quickly was that he and I had an aggression towards life that stemmed entirely from our messy home lives"
John and Thelma had a rebellious streak. John`s Aunt Mimi Smith hated his tight trousers while Thelma`s mother hated her black stockings. John and Thelma would sag off college in the afternoons to see films and would hang out at Ye Crack bar with other students. In July of 1958, John`s mother, Julia, got killed in a car accident, sending John to a tailspin. At one night, John rounded on Thelma in front of several students and was rude to her. "Don`t blame me, just because your mother`s dead" John went quiet and things went to a turning point, now respecting her, who in return, his own viciousness with a sentence that was equally offensive. When together, the affinity was special with a particular emphasis on sick humor.
"John laughed and ran up to them to make horrible faces. I laughed with him while feeling awful about it. If a doddery old person had nearly fallen over because John had screamed at her, we`d be laughing. We knew it shouldn`t be done. I was a good audience, but he didn`t do it for my benefit. Children often find that kind of sick humor amusing. Perhaps we just hadn`t grown out of it. He would pull the most grotesque faces and try to imitate his victims"
On the nights when John`s Aunt Mimi Smith was due to go out for the evening of bridge, John and Thelma would meet on a seat in a brick-built shelter on the golf course. When the coast is clear, they would go inside the house to spend some more quality time together. Well aware of John`s failing in the art classes, Thelma would write fake papers for him so that he won`t fail in lettering. By July of 1958, John was growing attracted to another student, Cynthia Powell.
"I was in his camp of boys because I was a bit of an arty beatnik. Cynthia was dainty and sweet. We used to take the mockery out of her, but John always said he fancied her. He was certainly always attracted to her from the first time he saw her in the canteen"
By the end of July of 1958, Thelma left college temporarily and the relationship between her and John was over, but remained friends.
"It just petered out. I certainly didn`t end it. He didn`t either. We still stayed part of the same crowd of students. When we were no longer close, he was more vicious to me in company than before. I was equally offensive back. That way you got John`s respect."
While she was away, she heard that John and Cynthia were close. She was startled, but pleased.
"I thought she`d be good for him, temper his aggression. I knew she`d have to tailor herself into looking like Brigitte Bardot for him, and I remember reflecting on the fact that he`d teased her so much about being so proper. I remember thinking: `He`s got what he wanted-again`"
In the very success of “Dos Hermanos” (Two Brothers), the movie that starred with Antonio Gasalla, the actress Graciela Borges told her “intimate” story with Paul McCartney, a secret that caused shock in the Argentine fans of the most popular band in history.
The confession took place during an interview where the actress was surprised by the question, and replied laughing: “It was many years ago … ja ja ja. That was the ‘big mouth’ of (Juan Alberto)Badia.”
Juan Alberto Badia is known beatle fan. For that reason, he was considered a reliable source.
“I was a very close friend for a short time. That was long ago. It was in London,” Graciela said.
Unfortunately Borges would not go into the details of their relationship with the author of “Yesterday”, “Hey Jude” and “HelterSkelter”, except for some comments:
“He was a very nice person and I felt very well. We had an excellent relationship.”
She said she kept in contact “for a year.” “After that I lost him. He did not stop growing as an artist and creating beautiful music, ” Grace said.
This exclusive global arrangement, will cover both physical and digital distribution of McCartney’s treasured post Beatles catalog including landmark solo albums such as McCartney, Ram, McCartney II, Tug Of War, Pipes of Peace, Give My Regards To Broad Street, Press To Play, Flowers in the Dirt, Off the Ground, Flaming Pie, Driving Rain, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, Memory Almost Full, and Good Evening New York City. The classic Wings albums include Wildlife, Red Rose Speedway, Band On The Run, Venus and Mars, Wings At The Speed of Sound, Wings Over America, London Town and Back To The Egg. The catalog also includes the inventive, highly regarded albums recorded under the McCartney pseudonyms Percy “Thrills” Thrillington, The Fireman and Twin Freaks.
The indispensible and remarkably enduring collection of songs represented in McCartney’s post 1970 collected works include the gems “Maybe I’m Amazed”, “Another Day”, “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey”, “My Love”, “Live & Let Die”, “Band On The Run”, “Jet”, “Listen To What The Man Said”, “Silly Love Songs”, “Let ‘Em In”, “With A Little Luck”, “Mull Of Kintyre”, “Coming Up”, “Ebony and Ivory”, “Say Say Say”, “No More Lonely Nights”, “My Brave Face”, “Hope Of Deliverance”, “Fine Line”, and “Dance Tonight” among many others.
McCartney fans can look forward to an ambitious and rewarding reissue program beginning in August of 2010 with Band On The Run; Paul McCartney & Wings’ classic #1 album from 1973 that spawned the immortal title song as well as the smash hit “Jet”. It will be available in a variety of configurations, including a special collector’s multi-disc edition with remastered audio, enhanced packaging and rare bonus content.
In 2007 Concord Records and Starbucks partnered to form Hear Music whose inaugural release was Paul McCartney’s highly successful, critically acclaimed album Memory Almost Full. The McCartney-Concord relationship has since blossomed to include the 2009 release of McCartney’s historic multi-disc live CD/DVD Good Evening New York City and now this landmark multi-year global marketing and distribution partnership.
"Since the release of Memory Almost Full in 2007 I have had a good working relationship with Concord and enjoyed our mutual love of music,” stated McCartney. “I'm looking forward to continuing this relationship with the new catalog campaign. I'm always looking for new ways and opportunities to get my music to people and Concord share this passion."
“Working with Paul McCartney, the MPL team and this tremendous catalog is an unbelievable honor,” stated Glen Barros, Concord Music Group President and CEO. “To so many of us here at Concord and to millions of people all over the world, Paul’s music has formed a big part of ‘life’s soundtrack’. So to now be a part of representing this amazing body of work is nothing short of a dream come true.” http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/mccartney-catalog-to-be-reissued-by-concord-mus...
