Записи, сделанные The Beatles , рок- группой из Ливерпуля , Англия , с момента их создания как Quarrymen в 1957 году до распада в 1970 году и воссоединения оставшихся участников в середине 1990-х годов, имеют огромную культурную и историческую ценность. Записи студийных сессий хранятся в Abbey Road Studios , ранее известной как «EMI Recording Studios», где The Beatles записали большую часть своей музыки. [1] Хотя большинство из них никогда официально не выпускались, их отрывки и демозаписи рассматриваются поклонниками как предметы коллекционирования, а некоторые записи появились на бесчисленных бутлегах . Единственные отрывки и демозаписи, которые были официально выпущены, были в серии The Beatles Anthology и ее связанных синглах и юбилейных изданиях их студийных альбомов. Фрагменты некоторых ранее не издававшихся студийных записей использовались в видеоигре The Beatles: Rock Band в качестве фонового шума и для придания песням студийного звучания в начале и конце. В 2013 году Apple Records выпустила альбом The Beatles Bootleg Recordings 1963 , который включает в себя ранее не издававшиеся отрывки и демозаписи 1963 года, чтобы не допустить попадания записей в общественное достояние. [2]
Весной или летом 1958 года The Quarrymen записали две песни в компании Phillips' Sound Recording Services в их родном городе Ливерпуле . Это была первая сессия звукозаписи группы, за которую они заплатили 17 шиллингов 6 пенсов (87,5 пенсов или 25,82 фунта стерлингов в 2023 году). [3] Записи были напечатаны на монофоническом 10-дюймовом 78-оборотном шеллаковом диске* , затем записи сессий были стерты для повторного использования новыми клиентами. Из-за низкого качества и возраста записей песни наполнены шипением, но их все еще можно слушать. Запись не предназначалась для выпуска, а для личного использования Quarrymen.
Чтобы развеять давнее заблуждение, этот диск не является "шеллачным" диском, как сообщалось ранее, а записывающим лаком (также известным как "ацетат". "Лак" - это алюминиевый диск с тонким слоем лака, нанесенным на него, что позволяет протравливать (или прорезать) звуковые канавки. См. статью в Википедии Acetate disc . Также есть отличный веб-сайт, посвященный службе звукозаписи Phillips по адресу https://www.percyphillips.co.uk/

Когда мы получили запись, договоренность была такова, что каждый из нас будет владеть ею в течение недели. Джон владел ею неделю и передал ее мне. Я владел ею неделю и передал ее Джорджу , который владел ею неделю. Затем Колин владел ею неделю и передал ее Даффу Лоу , который хранил ее 23 года.
Известно, что существует еще одна демоверсия «One After 909».

Бессмысленная речь Джона Леннона по радио
Хотя известно, что Леннон написал «Winston's Walk», а Маккартни — « Ask Me Why » и « When I'm Sixty-Four » в это время, ни одна демо-запись этих композиций так и не была обнаружена, но считается, что одна из них существует.
Ранние домашние записи Beatles
Как и в те времена, когда они были Quarrymen, The Beatles записали несколько низкокачественных, самодельных, моно демо-кассет. Эти кассеты являются единственными известными записями с участием их бывшего бас-гитариста Стюарта Сатклиффа . Из 16 известных демо, сделанных в начале 1960-х годов в доме Маккартни , были выпущены только три. [9] [10] [11]
В Гамбурге , Германия, во время первого пребывания там Битлз , Леннон, Маккартни и Харрисон записали песню в качестве группы поддержки для Лу Уолтерса, басиста из Rory Storm and the Hurricanes . Барабанщик Битлз, Пит Бест , не присутствовал, а вместо него играл барабанщик Hurricanes Ринго Старр . Это был первый раз, когда Джон, Пол, Джордж и Ринго записывали музыку вместе. Сатклифф присутствовал на сессии, но не играл. Песня была записана в небольшой студии Akustik, в похожей аранжировке, как и записи Битлз в Phillips' Sound Recording Services. Песня, с устной рекламой в качестве стороны B , была напечатана на девяти моно 78-оборотных ацетатных дисках. После того, как песня была записана, Уолтерс, Старр, Тай Брайан и Джонни Бирн, все в Hurricanes, записали " Fever " и " September Song ". Ни одна из записей так и не была выпущена. Скорее всего, записи сеансов были стерты, и ни один из дисков не сохранился. [12]
В том, что сейчас называется Friedrich-Ebert-Halle, в гимназии Фридриха Эберта (тогда известной как Gymnasium für Jungen Harburg [английский: Гимназия для мальчиков в Харбурге ]), во время второго пребывания Битлз в Гамбурге группа под названием «The Beat Brothers» записала несколько песен с английским рок-н-ролльщиком Тони Шериданом для альбома под названием My Bonnie , спродюсированного Бертом Кемпфертом . После записи песен с Шериданом Битлз записали две песни самостоятельно. Сатклифф присутствовал на сессии, но не играл. С тех пор записи сессий были уничтожены, но некоторые песни были выпущены на многочисленных синглах, EP и альбомах, как официальных, так и неофициальных. Информация о датах записи отрывочна, [13] и большая часть официальной документации была утеряна в пожаре. Позже Шеридан сделал больше записей с разными музыкантами, что привело к спорам о том, в каких песнях участвуют Битлз. Обычно считается, что они присутствуют на семи сохранившихся треках. [14] Различные миксы записей появлялись на многих сборниках и других релизах. Atlantic Records добавили дополнительные инструменты к двум песням для релиза в 1964 году. Чтобы завершить свой контракт, The Beatles сделали больше записей в Гамбурге 24 мая 1962 года. [15]
В первый день Нового года The Beatles записались на прослушивание для Decca Records в Лондоне около 11 утра. Вероятно, они исполнили только один дубль каждой песни без наложения . The Beatles не прошли прослушивание, но их менеджер Брайан Эпштейн сохранил катушечные ленты, чтобы представить их другим продюсерам. Эпштейн организовал печать записей на моноацетатных дисках, один из которых позже услышал продюсер Parlophone Джордж Мартин , который предложил им прослушивание, которое оказалось успешным. Вероятный порядок песен был следующим: [19] [20]

24 мая 1962 г.
После предыдущих сессий записи в Гамбурге с Тони Шериданом для Берта Кемпферта, Битлз вернулись для последней сессии, чтобы завершить свой контракт. Сохранилась только одна песня с этого дня. Битлз сопровождал Рой Янг, пианист, игравший с ними в Star-Club . Шеридан не был на сессии, и он перезаписал свой вокал 7 июня 1962 года без присутствия Битлз. Он перезаписал свой вокал для " Sweet Georgia Brown " 3 января 1964 года, чтобы включить ссылку на славу Битлз. [15] Atlantic Records добавили дополнительные инструменты для релиза в 1964 году.
После того, как записи прослушивания Decca попали в поле зрения менеджеров EMI благодаря усилиям менеджера Beatles Брайана Эпштейна, между Эпштейном и лейблом звукозаписи Parlophone, принадлежащим EMI, был заключен контракт на запись. EMI должна была записать минимум шесть синглов-"сторон", и соглашение вступало в силу 6 июня 1962 года, истекая через год, но с возможностью продления. [ необходима цитата ] После подписания контракта продюсер Parlophone Джордж Мартин устроил Beatles прослушивание в студиях EMI в Лондоне, чтобы оценить их музыкальное качество и соответствующие вокальные таланты. Прослушивание, состоявшееся 6 июня, также стало их первой сессией звукозаписи EMI. Вероятно, они выступали в Studio 2, студии, в которой они записали большую часть своей музыки. Поскольку ни одна из записей не была признана достойной выпуска, записи сессии были уничтожены в соответствии со стандартным протоколом; однако с тех пор были обнаружены по крайней мере две монозаписи. Большая часть документации сессии также была уничтожена; однако известно, что четыре песни были записаны неизвестным количеством дублей. Кен Таунсенд , который впоследствии стал постоянным участником сессий звукозаписи The Beatles, в тот день дежурил в техническом отделе. Мартин был недоволен игрой Беста на барабанах, поэтому Эпштейн и другие участники The Beatles вскоре уволили его из группы. Эта сессия была единственной сессией записи Беста на EMI, прежде чем его заменил Ринго Старр. [25] Полная запись этой сессии всплыла после смерти звукорежиссера Джеффа Эмерика 2 октября 2018 года. По-видимому, Эмерик забрал запись домой, хотя ее предполагалось уничтожить. По состоянию на 2020 год семья Эмерика вовлечена в судебные разбирательства с Universal Music, нынешними владельцами бэк-каталога The Beatles, относительно того, кому по закону принадлежит эта запись.
Через 90 дней после прослушивания в EMI The Beatles вернулись в EMI Studios со своим новым барабанщиком Ринго Старром, чтобы записать свой дебютный сингл в Studio 2. Перед сессией они репетировали пять песен, включая « Please Please Me », в Studio 3 с Роном Ричардсом между 14:30 и 17:30. Они начали работу над « How Do You Do It » Митча Мюррея , которую Мартин выбрал для них, но песня им не понравилась, и они хотели выпустить оригинальную композицию. Они записали по крайней мере два дубля «How Do You Do It» и по крайней мере 15 дублей «Love Me Do», затем лучший дубль каждой песни был сведен в моно и напечатан на ацетатном диске для прослушивания Мартином и Эпштейном. [26] Позже записи сессий были уничтожены, что было обычной практикой до 1963 года. [27] Версия «Love Me Do» этой сессии была выпущена как первый сингл The Beatles; Однако позже она была заменена версией, записанной семь дней спустя, а оригинал был уничтожен. [28] Когда оригинал позже был выпущен на сборниках, его пришлось брать из оригинального моно-сингла на 45 об/мин.

Обеспокоенные игрой Ринго на барабанах, продюсеры наняли сессионного барабанщика Энди Уайта для еще одной попытки записать первый сингл The Beatles. В Studio 2 они записали три песни с Уайтом на барабанах, в то время как Ринго был низведен до маракасов и тамбурина. Лучшие дубли "Love Me Do" и "PS I Love You" были сведены в моно. Неизвестное количество дублей " Please Please Me " также было записано, но ни один не был использован. Сессионные записи были позже уничтожены, поэтому нет настоящих стереоверсий песен, хотя была обнаружена по крайней мере одна монозапись. [27] Хотя предыдущая сессионная версия "Love Me Do" изначально была выпущена как сингл, после выпуска EP The Beatles' Hits она была заменена версией из этой сессии, а оригинал был уничтожен. [30] «Love Me Do» и «PS I Love You» были смикшированы в « поддельном стерео » 25 февраля 1963 года в аппаратной Studio 1. [31] Хотя изначально они были выпущены в поддельном стерео в стереоверсии Please Please Me , современные ремастерированные стереорелизы содержат обе песни в моно, поскольку поддельное стерео вышло из моды.

26 ноября, спустя месяц после выхода первого сингла, The Beatles вернулись в Studio 2, чтобы записать второй. После успешной записи «Please Please Me» Мартин произнес ныне известную фразу: «You've just made your first number one». В дополнение к двум сторонам сингла они также исполнили неизвестное количество дублей другой оригинальной композиции, « Tip of My Tongue », но Мартин был недоволен аранжировкой. Они больше никогда ее не записывали и вместо этого отдали ее Томми Куикли , другому артисту, менеджером которого был Эпштейн. «Please Please Me» и «Ask Me Why» были сведены в моно в неизвестное время 30 ноября в Studio 2. Редактированный и стерео микс «Please Please Me» и новый моно и стерео микс «Ask Me Why» были сделаны 25 февраля 1963 года в Studio 1 для включения в моно и стерео версии альбома Please Please Me .

11 февраля в Studio 2 The Beatles записали почти весь свой дебютный альбом Please Please Me между 10 утра и 10:45 вечера. Они также записали несколько дублей « Hold Me Tight ». Хотя в 1963 году традиция уничтожать сессионные записи после финального микса в основном прекратилась, сессионные дубли «Hold Me Tight» были уничтожены, поскольку песня оставалась неиспользованной до тех пор, пока семь месяцев спустя они не перезаписали ее для своего следующего альбома. [33] [34] 20 февраля в Studio 1 Мартин записал наложения для « Misery » и « Baby It's You ». Альбом был отредактирован и сведен 25 февраля в Studio 1. Песня «Seventeen» позже была переименована в « I Saw Her Standing There ». [31]
The Beatles записали свой третий сингл 5 марта в Studio 2. Они также хотели записать " What Goes On " и "The One After 909" (позже переименованную в " One After 909 "). В конце концов, была записана только последняя, но песня осталась неиспользованной, пока не была перезаписана во время сессий Get Back / Let It Be. [31] [37] "What Goes On" была позже записана для Rubber Soul . [38] 13 марта в Studio 2 Леннон записал наложение на губной гармошке для "Thank You Little Girl" (позже переименованной в " Thank You Girl "), стороны B сингла, и песня была отредактирована и сведена. Сторона A, " From Me to You ", была отредактирована и сведена 14 марта в Studio 2. [39]
