Lennon and McCartney contributed backing vocals to the Stones' 1967 single “We Love You,” and Jagger returned the favor by attending the “All You Need Is Love” global satellite broadcast
Yes. And have you noticed that compared to a lot of other rock channels most of the time these guys actually offer new insights like this, get facts correct mostly and don't merely do the awful clickbaity "this band vs. that band thing?" And that the commenters are unusually civil? Its the gear!
Although this never came to fruition, the Rolling Stones did end up building a mobile recording studio, with a Helios console designed by Dick Swettenham (based on the ones he did for Olympic), that was used to record several famous albums, including Led Zeppelin III and IV, Who's Next by the Who, Penguin by Fleetwood Mac, and of course, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St., along with "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple and "No Woman, No Cry" by Bob Marley. The Beatles built Apple Studios, which was apparently a pretty nice studio once Geoff Emerick got done with it (he also installed a Helios console, funnily enough), but due to mismanagement on the business side it closed in 1975, and I think the most famous recordings done there, apart from Let It Be, were Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You" and parts of Harry Nilsson's Son of Schmilsson album.
Very good point. With Brian out of the picture the Beatles almost certainly would've just rolled with Klein if they merged. Who knows what wouldve happened then. Lots of screwing over im sure!
A very mouth-watering venture. Their respective record companies probably made sure this was killed off though. The Beatles went on to form Apple a year later to realise their dream of recording new talent. It would have been great to see what this collaboration would have produced. Fascinating to learn that unheard tapes are lying around somewhere.
What might have been The Beatles/ Stones business merger. Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger working on a project together with Marianne Faithful fantastic. Like you, where are the tapes?
Thank You! In Andrew Loog Olhams "2Stoned" - it's mentioned about Jagger producing Marriane Faithfull around May 1967- produced by Jagger. Nothing was ever released. I figured that OR it was a mistake. Note that " With a Little Help From My Friends" was released by THE BEATLES in June- one month after Marriane recorded it.
I used to go to Lincoln Memorial Library NYC ( Yes - I'm American! Didn't see that coming- with a user name like mine.) I'd go thru year by year of NME ( " Enemy")on microfilm. Wonder if they still offer that. One can really get " Lost" in that world - the Good Old Days......
@@IMeMineWho Yeah. Sunny Goodge Street must be one of the very earliest songs that can legitimately be called psychedelic. Too much of the imagery is clearly psychedelic inspired for it to just seem that way. Marianne's cover is very lovely.
Never heard a thing about this. I'm curious about those unreleased Marianne Faithfull tracks with songs from Incredible String Band, Beatles and Stones. Could be a nice breeze of folk-psyche from '67. On the other hand, there may be a good reason they have never ended up on a compilation after all this time.
I love the sitar in your background music, YP 💖 This merge sounds like a great idea in theory, but I don't know, giving that The Beatles broke up just a few years later ... perhaps it's a good thing this business venture never went into fruition. I love The Beatles but they were at loggerheads by the end of the decade. The idea of them navigating business with another band seems problematic.
Thanks, Sophie. Glad you liked the background music. I agree, I don't think it would have worked out. Too many huge egos involved, it probably would have ended in disaster.
If Alan Klein worked with the Beatles and Stones in a positive light rather than as a hustler, he could have made a good name for himself in getting this type of concept to work. And he would probably have made more money for himself and the bands involved. SO close, yet so far away.
Such an awesome video of great unearthed discovery!! I really wish that these recordings of Marianne Faithful would come into our ears someday... I love The Incredible String Band and their 2nd album is my very favorite of theirs. "Painting Box" is such a lovely song and I am picturing now it with Marianne's voice in my mind's ear...
I wouldn't want Martin producing. He glossed over everything with layers of strings and sound effects to the point where one can't even hear the band playing. The Stones could've used a better producer when they used strings or choirs (Moonlight Mile and You Can't Always Get What You Want) but I'd rather hear the instruments on their own. Beggars Banquet had a great sound to it with Jimmy Miller producing and Glyn Johns as engineer (who worked with both groups).
Damn, I thought the biggest news of October 1967 was my 7th birthday (ahaha). Well, the Stones need a rhythm section and the Beatles don't have guitar players so now would be a great time, especially with all the bands and singers on Spotify, RU-vid, etc.
I would have loved to see the two bands together in a film. Although that never happened, we can still fantasize and, who knows: an imaginative screenwriter, with a good director, could still give us a satisfactory fiction of what could have happened. I loved this video. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones together in a project, what a dream! Thanks, Yesterday's Papers.😀🌹🤗
Contrary to others here. Imo it wouldn't have worked. Too many egos; despite being friends by then. Thing is Andrew Loog Oldham worked for them did he not, prior to launching the antithesis of the Beatles. And anyway Lennon did work on Rock and Roll Circus, (I think) just about a year later. Great incidental music; yet again. Typifying the times.
Very entertaining, this episode contains some new info for me! I like the opinion of Pete Townshend and Graham Nash. It would be good for the small promising bands to produce better records thanks to better equipment.
Oh I hope that YP can cover some of Roger's solo stuff or even better his acting! I guest vocal in Who tribs but Im afraid I only heard a couple of Rog's solo works and never saw Liztomania! I just never got round to it! That'd be a treat! (Subtle hint..lol). Or maybe something on Pete's writings!
Listen to any of the original Stones record pressings and you'll understand why the Stones wanted better recording equipment...Parlophone, and EMI in general, Beatles pressings were much much better than the Stones on Decca....
A large percentage of Stones recordings from 1965/66 were recorded at RCA studios in Hollywood. I think "Aftermath" (especially the mono version) is one of the greatest sounding albums of that period.
@@YesterdaysPapers Yes, I agree about Aftermath...I have both the U.S. and EU first pressings and they stand out for audio quality over others from the same period...
That got real interesting at the end there. Unreleased, un-bootlegged tracks from '67! The Stones have a history of hoarding their stuff. Movies too. There's never been an Anthology-type project with alternate takes released officially. There was that bonus disc of unreleased tracks that came with the "Exile" remaster...that was pretty cool. Btw, I don't understand how the Beatles never knew the truth about Allen Klein by this time. He had screwed (or was screwing) over the Stones. (?)
The Stones have released a number of outtakes from their 70s albums on various deluxe sets, not just "Exile" but "Sticky", "Some Girls", and "Goat's Head Soup" as well. Some of them sound quite good. Unfortunately, they do not have control over their 60s music and for whatever reason ABKCO doesn't want to release any demos or outtakes, so that's why we only get remastered versions of albums like "Aftermath", "Satanic" and "Beggars" with no extras.
It might of been a good idea to let new bands just do whatever without hassle of a label saying for it to be mainstream. But creative differences from Jagger and McCartney trying to help those bands wouldve gotten in the way.
Great videos by the way but bit off topic now , but is your voice narration done by a RU-vid voice generator as I've heard a similar voice on an advert ?
I was wondering about the voice too. I've heard that voice on a couple of ads on RU-vid and was dissapointed that it's a bot. (Even so it's much better than a lot of the bot voices on most videos)
I wonder if those Marianne faithful songs are shared among some ingroup of bootleggers in a sort of "if this gets out you'll be sleeping with the fishes" sort of way. I know some nirvana (the 90s band) bootleg that was treated like that got on RU-vid and I think the guy who posted it was excommunicated or something lol
Imagine Lennon singing or rewriting ALL SOLD OUT! Of course they did merge in a way on WE LOVE YOU. 1:53 Be aware in England the word "scheme" means simply "plan" and doesn't have that same dark connotation that it does here in the USA. 3:00 what group was Pete talking about? I suspect the "session" Paul was planning for Marianne had nothing to do with music!
I respectfully disagree. They were very decent covers of blues and early rock. Not Fade Away? Great cover. Ruby Tuesday? Fabulous. That's How Strong My Love Is? Jumping Jack Flash or anything from Beggars Banquet? Really? I heard the original of That's How Strong My Love Is yesterday and The Stones actually made that one better than the cover! But I think it may be like the Fabs. There are those of us who say No Jones, No Stones and those who think his best was with Mick Taylor or Ronnie.
@@EdwinJack64 Listen to their music up to that point. It's really not that great. Maybe except for a few singels here and there. Their first actually good/decent album is Let it bleed in my opinion. Their previous albums are mainly just filler tracks. I've tried so hard to like their Music between 64-68. But I can't stand it, it's rubbish imo. I much more prefer the polished grandiose sound of certain Beatles and beach boys albums.
@@antebellumstage Of course you may have your own opinion, no problem with that. But let's get to the point at hand. It's October 1967. Both the Beatles and the Stones were already top bands. They were friends, respected each other and liked each other's music. You may know the picture where John Lennon holds up a copy of 'Aftermath' from 1965. He thought it was a fine album and also liked the purple sleeve (UK version). Speaking of the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson attended the 1966 recording sessions of the 'Between the Buttons' album at RCA studios. He was heavily impressed with the song 'My Obsession'. This song is said to have inspired him to write 'Good Vibrations'. What I want to say is this: the Stones were making great music long before 1968 and this was recognized by Lennon and Wilson, among others. It is not surprising then that there was talk of a possible business collaboration, is it? That you find the Rolling Stones' music between 1964-1968 rubbish remains a personal opinion that I do not share at all. BTW, I also like the Beatles and the Beach Boys. And 'Let It Bleed' is certainly among the Stones' better albums! Cheers!
