Talk:George Harrison (album)

message: The article says that "Not Guilty" was "written in India in 1968", but I think it would be more accurate to say that it was drafted at time, but not finished. I think that he must have revised it later, because I've listened to both George's solo version from 1979 and the "Beatles version" recorded in 1968 and released on Anthology 3, although there's no real Beatles version of the song, because all there really is basically recordings of the group practicing the song, doing some takes of it, but they were never really happy with how they did it, and never decided on a finished version, and however you'd like to describe it, it certainly never got on any of their studio albums.... The Beatles Anthology CDs are basically just from-the-archives alternate takes and unfinished materials that are amusing for purposes of comparison, (an expanded version of the practise of releasing little extra tracks on remastered CDs as a bonus, even though they're not a core, integral part of the original album) but not anything that any group would ever release as a regular, finished studio album. So just because the group did a little studio work on a song doesn't mean George had a completely final version of the song set in stone. And in fact the two versions do differ significantly, and not just because there are different performers: it really does sound like some of the actual writing is different.
So does anyone else agree that we should change that note to "drafted in India in 1968"? Knightofcups89 (talk) 15:44, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The Beatles' version was complete with overdubs and only lacked a final mix, and the lyrics in the 1979 version are identical to the original 1968 demo. The only change needed is that the song wasn't written in India. Piriczki (talk) 17:06, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Not Guilty

message: The reason for the duck imagery in the music video is that it was directed by Neil Innes - He of the Bonzo Dog Band / The Rutles, etc. - as ducks loom rather large in his career. According to Innes - at several Beatlefests - George offered to let him direct the video, but, to avoid all sorts of paperwork, Neil's name could not appear on the final result. Innes agreed, because he wanted the experience. 75.104.182.200 (talk) 00:54, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that – the Innes connection dovetails nicely with Harrison's connection with the Rutles, of course, during his year off from music-making in 1977. But we need a reliable source to recognise this before it can be included. JG66 (talk) 01:23, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah ... I realise THAT, being that both Innes and Harrison are no longer around to confirm it. Who knows, maybe some Beatlefest attendee has footage ... somewhere. < sigh! > 75.104.182.200 (talk) 23:44, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Circles 

message: The article says that Harrison had "one album left on his current recording contract," however, he appeared on the Porky's Revenge soundtrack "courtesy of Warner Brothers Records" in 1985, and in a 1987 Rolling Stone article "New LPs coming from George Harrison and Ringo Starr," it says "The album would be Harrison's first since 1982's Gone Troppo. Harrison still has a deal with Warner Bros. through his own Dark Horse label." As far as I can tell he was with Warner Bros. continually from 1976 to June 1994. Piriczki (talk) 21:23, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been reading about this issue while putting together an article on one of the album's songs, "Circles". In a 2011 Mojo article, John Harris calls Gone Troppo Harrison's "contract-finisher" with Warner Bros.; in their book Eight Arms to Hold You, Madinger & Easter say it was "the last LP of his Warners contract" – and I've found that book very well-researched, with the authors consulting AFM contracts to confirm studio dates and personnel, and BMI registration for dates of song copyrights. The same contract-finisher point is made by some of Harrison's biographers (from memory, Simon Leng and Alan Clayson). I take it that his contractual obligations were completed with Gone Troppo, in that it was an issue relating to Dark Horse Records and Warner's, which might explain why, as an individual/artist, George would still appear "courtesy of Warner Brothers Records" three years later. I wouldn't pay too much attention to Rolling Stones 1987 wording – that the artist "still has a deal with Warner Bros." (Judging by the sources I've mentioned, there's every reason to think it was a new deal from 1986–87 onwards.) Either way, there's enough to support the "one album left" statement, although perhaps with an additional mention that Harrison's sole release over 1983–86, "I Don't Want to Do It" on Porky's Revenge, carried the "courtesy of Warner's" tag.

Talk:John Lennon's jukebox

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of August 29, 2006, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: The introduction is too abrupt. The body consists primarily of lists.
:2. Factually accurate?: okay
:3. Broad in coverage?: The article needs a section on the history of the jukebox, from when it was created, to when John Lennon owned it, to when it was auctioned off. It also needs a section on the type and features of the jukebox. There also needs to be an explanation of who John Lennon got it from, where, when, and why.
:4. Neutral point of view?: okay
:5. Article stability? okay
:6. Images?: okay
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far.

thread_title: Improving Butlins Coverage on Wikipedia

message: Your statement, sourced from the Butlins website, claims that the original idea came from an unhappy holiday on Barry Island in his youth, when he had been locked out of his bed and breakfast accommodation all day by his landlady, which was normal practice at the time.
In his memoirs, he does not say that he was on holiday. He had gone to Barry Island to research a possible investment in the local fairground. He had not realized that people could find so little to do on a Bank Holiday, especially when it was raining. Having travelled in America, he saw that there were great possibilities for improving the British holiday experience. Valetude (talk) 16:03, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Broksonic and Orion

It's a Motown song co-written by unknown collaborators in Detroit, and it was made famous by the Marvellettes.

thread_title:  Portugal the man sampled this song 

message: I've tagged this list as "unreferenced", as the individual musicians were uncredited prior to 1971. While Marvin Gaye on drums and Richard "Popcorn" Wylie on piano (the only place that seems to mention Eddie Willis on guitar is his own article, when other Wikipedia articles can't be used as references) are ostensibly well documented as having played on the song, how does anyone know that Benny Benjamin, Joe Hunter, James Jamerson and Eddie "Bongo" Brown played on this? Presumably, Hunter being the bandleader and principal keyboardist of the Funk Brothers at the time, Benjamin the principal drummer, Jamerson the principal bassist, and Brown one of the most prolific percussionists for Motown Records' house band (the Funk Brothers) were just thrown in there, simply because they were among the most prolific members of the Funk Brothers at the time. No sources to verify that they played on the song, and I'd say that's original research. It'd be nice to see some sources that identify Willis (other than his own article), Hunter, Benjamin, Jamerson and Brown as players on this song, and if no sources can be found (and it's entirely possible that no reliable sources exist for much of this info) then these musicians may need to be removed.
