On This Day Beatle News

1967 - The Beatles

The Beatles filmed three promotional films for their new single ‘Hello Goodbye’ at the Saville Theatre in London. Each of the three film clips featured different costumes and Beatle antics. In the first film they wear their Sgt. Pepper uniforms, for the second The Beatles are wearing everyday clothes, the third film clip features shots from the first two films, plus additional shots of (especially John) doing the twist. A Musician's Union ban on lip-sync broadcasts prevented the films being used on British television.

2023 - The Beatles

The Beatles topped the UK charts with their single, 'Now and Then', making them the act with the longest gap between their first and last No.1's. Sixty years after 'From Me to You' topped the charts, Sir Paul McCartney said: "It's blown my socks off!" 'Now and Then' became this century's fastest-selling vinyl single, according to the Official Charts Company. Its first bars were written by John Lennon in 1978, and the song was finally completed last year.

Music News For The Week

November 9, 1962 — White supremacists in Birmingham, Alabama, fire gunshots into the side of a tour bus transporting Motown's first Moortown Revue, panicking the performers on board. The show that night at the National Guard Armory — one of more than 50 one-nighters along the U.S. east coast — marks the first time that the city permits an integrated audience.

November 11, 1939 — The Ink Spots reach #1 on the pop chart with "Address Unknown." Their success occurs just a few months after they peaked at #2 with "If I Didn't Care," their best-known record. They would be Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 in the category of Early Influence, their citation reading, "With a high-flying tenor floating above their tight harmonies, the Ink Spots were the predecessors of doo-wop." In fact, group member Charlie Fuqua was the uncle of the Moonglows' co-founder Harvey Fuqua.
1958 — Hank Ballard and The Midnighters record the original version of "The Twist," which would become one of the most important records in rock 'n' roll history when covered virtually note for note by Ballard soundalike Chubby Checker in 1960. Ballard bases the song on the 1953 Drifters record "Whatcha Gonna Do."

November 12, 1925 — Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five make their first recordings. The Chicago sessions are issued on the Okeh label. It is Satchmo's first eponymous group after playing as a sideman with King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band and Fletcher Henderson's orchestra.
1931 — EMI (Electric & Musical Industries) opens the world's largest recording studio at its Abbey Road complex, a 19th century London townhouse and the future recording home of the Beatles. It uses the first stereo recording system, developed and patented by English audio engineer Alan Blumlein.

November 13, 1956 — The duo Buchanan and Goodman go to court in a suit for copyright infringement over their record "The Flying Saucer," which incorporates bits of hit records. The first use of sampling in the rock era, the song reaches #3 on Billboard's Hot 100.
