The Beatles “Baby’s in Black” (live) (45 rpm record + video montage)

Posted by admin on July 2nd, 2010 and filed under essay anthology | 5 Comments »

The Beatles “Baby’s in Black” 45 rpm vinyl — live version from the Hollywood Bowl, recorded Aug 1965 – issued as the B-side to “Real Love”, March 1996.

This is my first “vinyl video” clip where I actually make a video, not just point the camera at the turntable and you get to watch a record spinning on a turntable — I suspect that can be only so interesting even to most die-hard vinyl record fans. Plus, the audio is sourced directly from the vinyl single.

So in this video, I included images that pertain to both this Beatles track and their Hollywood Bowl performance. “Baby’s in Black” did not appear on the 1977 album release “The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl”, nor did it appear on any of the Anthology albums. But just for fun, I decided to put some “Hollywood Bowl’ pics (that album has yet to appear on CD, so many might have not heard it if they do not have the original LP, or know what the cover artwork looks like, or the essay George Martin wrote for the back cover, which I included here).

“Baby’s in Black” composed by John Lennon & Paul McCartney. Originally appeared on the ‘Beatles for Sale’ UK album, and the ‘Beatles ‘65′ US album, both issued Dec 1964.
