Beatles ’75 pt8
from Yesterday and Today
It's the fall of 1975, and the decade that brought so much music from the four former Beatles has reached its halfway point. It seems John, Paul, George and Ringo have each made peace with the band's demise, but big changes were still in store for their respective personal lives in the coming months. Paul McCartney was at the top of the singles and LP charts with his mega-hit Venus & Mars album and corresponding toe-tapper Listen To What The Man Said. Wings was flying so high, in fact, that the band embarked on an ambitious year-long World Tour, the first such tour from any former Beatle in a decade. As the Macca festivities kicked off in the UK, Ringo Starr was in attendance...albeit without his wife Maureen, who divorced Starr on the grounds of adultery in July. By contrast, John Lennon's once-rocky marriage to Yoko Ono was seemingly back in full swing, with the couple expecting their first child in the coming weeks. All recording for John would be halted in preparation for the baby, though Lennon's songwriting and creativity would blossom in other ways during the advent of this so-called "house-husband" period. George Harrison was finished recording as well, but not for long. On September 22nd Apple released the brand new LP Extra Texture, and its first single You was quick to make the top20. George's latest record was a step into the light from the dark and somber Dark Horse album, and Hari 's songs were at last back on track to mainstream appeal... Hosted on Acast.
