JEFF LYNNE & THE
BEATLES - NOW AND THEN
According to the Daily
Express, the
surviving members of the Beatles are to release a new single compiled
from archive recordings. The
track called
"Now And Then" is based on a John
Lennon recording given to McCartney
by the musician widow Yoko Ono. Jeff
Lynne produced the track's original
sessions:
“It
was one day – one afternoon, really – messing with
it,” he said in
1995. “The song had a chorus but is almost totally lacking in
verses.
We did the backing track, a rough go that we really didn’t
finish. It was sort of a bluesy sort of ballad, I suppose, in A minor.
It was
a very sweet song; I liked it a lot, and I wished we could have
finished it”. The song will be available before next summer.
Let's hope Jeff Lynne will
be involved in this project!!!
D'après
le Daily
Express, les
derniers membres survivants des Beatles sont sur le point de
réaliser un nouveau single à partir d'archives du
groupe. La chanson, "Now And Then", est une demo de
John Lennon
donnée à McCartney par sa veuve Yoko Ono. Jeff
Lynne, qui avait produit le titre à l'origine,
déclarait
en 1995: "C'était un jour - un après-midi - on
bricolait
le morceau. La chanson avait un refrain mais pratiquement pas de
couplets. Nous avions travaillé un accompagnement, un
premier
jet que nous n'avions pas réellement terminé.
C'était une sorte de
ballade bluesy, je crois, en La mineur. C'était une chanson
très douce; je l'aimais beaucoup, et j'espérais
que nous
pourrions la finir". La sortie est prévue avant
l'été prochain. Espérons que Jeff
Lynne fera partie du projet!!!

BLADES OF GLORY - XANADU

release...

JEFF LYNNE & BEATLES - NOW
AND THEN
Paul
McCartney recently declared that he would like the song "Now And Then"
to be finalized. Selected for "Anthology", this song was attempted,
with Jeff Lynne doing some clean up of the
original John Lennon demo, and the remaining Beatles doing some basic
work on the track, but the work was eventually aborted. Will McCartney
leave it to Jeff Lynne to finish the job?
Paul
McCartney a déclaré récemment qu'il

laquelle
les 3 autres Beatles avaient un peu travaillé.
Malheureusement,
le projet avait été abandonné. Paul
McCartney
laissera t'il à Jeff Lynne le soin de terminer ce qu'il
avait
commencé?
