George Harrison not approached by musician sound effects, but by electrician. Long before officiating in the starting lineup of the band The Quarrymen, the seed through which flourished the phenomenon of the Beatles on the planet, was devoted to repair electrical installations neighbors and so generous tips earned, with which He bought his first professional guitar. That experience with cables, screws and sockets broadened its outlook and gave the possibility of understanding that could make electric instruments and innovations that not all songs were recorded the same content.
Harrison, the Beatle usually escapes memory and mentioned in last place when the count of the Fab Four from Liverpool is done, these innovations contributed two subjects so sweeping as Paul McCartney and John Lennon gave his arms to twist. Two heads are better than one when the third party and the options multiply there. That is precisely what happened when the quietest of this historic quartet began to speak, to take the command string riffs and provide lyrics, harmonies and melodies.
The guitarist was the first of his clan to join a list of Top musicians in rock (ranks 21 among guitarists in the genre’s history according to several whimsical lists), he was one of the first to create a massive show of high social content and charitable. With the concert for Bangladesh, held on 1 August 1971 and popularized his name thanks to his initiative they received significant donations. However, it was also one of the rockers to debut as a victim of betrayal of love. His wife Pattie (Patricia Anne Boyd) was courted by Eric Clapton, one of the closest friends of Harrison, even then knew that the song Layla , a hymn in Clapton discography, was a creation in coded language.
Harrison pioneered in some motivations behind the Beatles to modify preset routines and behaviors. In other important initiatives was the opinion of Ringo Starr, while the emblematic figures of the collective (Lennon and McCartney) assumed positions of advantage in various situations alternately.
The quartet was characterized by ever wear on your hands the banner of technology. So they came to rock and roll at the right to please audiophiles time, their presence in great sound progress has always been late and, why not say, discreet.
The band The Beatles was perhaps the greatest absence in the digital music market. In 2010, iTunes managed to convince Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Universal Music Group (the three actors who control the extensive catalog of the group) to allow paid downloads of his songs. In his first week in this service, the band sold more than 450,000 albums and two million individual items, according to figures from Apple.
The songs of the quartet were already available in Pandora, a radio station online It does not allow the use of music on demand, but gives playlists cured according to the tastes of each user. As members of the Beatles postponed its presence on digital platforms, also did expect his followers when they took the decision not to allow the remastering of his artistic material in the form of compact disc (CD).
their albums on vinyl or acetate were marketed when the other important groups of rock and pop songs already had that small mirror-like format. The scratch traditional in long seemed to multiply the magic of the guys from Liverpool and hence the refusal of survivors to venture into the cd.
It was not until 1987 that Paul McCartney , Ringo Starr and George Harrison, with the wink of his label, agreed to see and hear in a new format for the time. What was said at the time was that waited to test the usefulness of the “system” of recognition in other bands before launching himself to conquer new markets. When they saw that there, in short, was the future of sound proposal agreed to put aside the scratch.
“With digital, the Beatles have always pointed out quite late to the party. They came to iTunes in 2010, some five years after it began to succeed the platform. I guess its presence in the streaming means that they assume it is already a fundamental part of the industry, “he told the BBC Chris Cooke, co-founder of specialized web Complete Music Update (CMU).
In 2013, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd agreed to include their music in digital platforms, while AC / DC did in mid-year. From today the entire Beatles catalog (thirteen original albums and four compilations) will be available in nine streaming music service Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon Prime Music, Tidal, Deezer, Microsoft Groove, Rhapsody and Slacker Radio. The music can be found in both the free and paid versions of every platform. Definitely a great Christmas gift that is evidenced that the Beatles are more than four subjects on the scene.
