| ARTICLES RELATED TO Parlophone | | | |  Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - We Didn't Start the Fire - Historical items referred to in the songThe lyrics of "We Didn't Start the Fire" are essentially a chronological list of specific events, names, and places, beginning in Joel's year of birth. Stream of consciousness in style, the song could be considered a natural successor to songs such as "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)", as it consists of a series of unrelated images in a quick-fire, half-rapped, half-sung vocal style.
The following are the lists as they appear in the song's lyrics, though in the actual song th ...

| | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - Cliff Richard - 1958—1963: Success and stardom Cliff Richard, a guitarist and lead singer, was one of the founding members of The Drifters (not to be confused with the American group of the same name). At the suggestion of a manager, who thought it would be good to have someone's name out front, they became Cliff Richard and the Drifters and later Cliff Richard and the Shadows.
Cliff gained a contract with EMI in the summer of 1958, where he remained until signing with Decca in 2004. Cliff went into Abbey Road Studios to record his first record on July 24, 1958, but the producer, ...

| | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - The Beatles album - The songs Many of the songs here are personal and self-referencing; for example "Dear Prudence" is about actress Mia Farrow's sister, Prudence, who attended Transcendental Meditation classes in Rishikesh, India at the same time as the group. In fact, many songs on The White Album were conceived during the group's ill-fated visit to India. "Sexy Sadie" is about the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who led those TM classes. "Glass Onion" is John's song for those fans who spent their time trying to find hidden meanings in the group's lyrics; it refer ...

| | | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - Help! - Album The album cover features the group spelling out a word in semaphore; the British Parlophone release featured the word 'NUJV', whilst the slightly re-arranged US release on Capitol Records appeared to feature the word 'NVUJ'. However, it may be argued that some of the members of the band have been not only re-arranged but reversed. One finds that, despite the Beatles' poor stature, it spells out 'LPUS' - possibly meaning "Help us", ...

| | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - The Beta Band - History The Beta Band formed in 1996 around Edinburgh musicians Steve Mason (vocals, guitar) and Gordon Anderson. The two had plans to call their group The Pigeons but later changed their minds. As they pulled together songs for their debut EP, Champion Versions, they added Robin Jones (drums) and John Maclean (DJ, sampler, keyboards). Not long after they were signed to Regal/Parlophone, Anderson became ill and decided to quit the band. He would later produce recordings under the name Lone Pigeon. The remaining members added Englishman Richard Gree ...

During a charity event in Melbourne with other Neighbours cast members, Minogue performed Little Eva's "The Loco-Motion" and was signed to a recording contract with Mushroom Records in 1987. Released as a single, and retitled "Locomotion", the Australian recording spent seven weeks at number one on the Australian music charts, and was the year's highest selling single.

| | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - The Beatles - History Main article: History of The Beatles
John Lennon formed a group, The Blackjacks, who became The Quarrymen, in March 1957. On July 6 that year, John met Paul McCartney through a mutual friend while playing at the Woolton Parish Church Garden Fete, and the two were soon playing music together, with Colin Hanton on drums, and Len Garry on "Tea-Chest" bass. In February 1958 the young guitarist George Harrison joined the group, which played under a variety of names. Recordings of John, Paul and George from that year still exist. During this period, members constantly joined, and left the line up. John, Paul and George were the only ...

The band was signed with WEA Records in the UK, and released the song "Kiss Me", which went to #155 on the UK chart. By 1983, Tin Tin had signed with Sire Records in the US, and "Kiss Me" hit the dance charts there as well. Another sing ...

| | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - The Beatles album - The cover The album's cover was designed by Richard Hamilton, a notable pop artist who had organised a Marcel Duchamp retrospective at the Tate Gallery the previous year. Hamilton's design was in stark contrast to Peter Blake's vivid cover art for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and consisted of a plain white sleeve. The band's name was discreetly embossed in the middle of the album's right side, and the cover also featured a unique stamped serial number, in Hamilton's words, "to create the ironic situation of a numbered edition of somet ...

| | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - Cliff Richard - 1976—1994: Comeback However, Cliff and others (like his former Shadow, Bruce Welch) decided that they would bring Cliff Richard out as a "rock" artist again. This collaboration produced the 1976 landmark Cliff album I'm Nearly Famous, which brought about the classic rock guitar-driven track "Devil Woman" and the haunting "Miss You Nights". It was not just Cliff and the fans who were excited that the man who had begun and led British rock from the start was back in strength, but also a host of big music names. People like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Elt ...

Twenty-nine of the album's thirty tracks ("Revolution 9" being the only straggler) exist in official alternate mono mixes, all of which are popular items amongst Beatles fans.

| | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - Yesterday song - Melody and lyric The tonic key of the song is F major (although, since McCartney tuned his guitar down a whole step, he was playing the chords as if it were in G), where the song begins, before veering off into the relative minor key of D. It is this frequent use of the minor, and the ii-V7 chord progression (Em7 and A7 chords in this case) leading into it, that gives the song its melancholy aura. The string arrangement also adds to this feeling, especially in the groaning cello melody that connects the two halves of the bridge (on the line, "I don't know / ...

| | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - Eleanor Rigby - Recording "Eleanor Rigby" does not have a standard pop backing; none of the Beatles played instruments on it. Instead, McCartney used a string octet of studio musicians, composed of four violins, two cellos, and two violas all working off a score written by producer George Martin. For the most part, the instruments "double up"—that is, they serve as two string quartets with two instruments playing each part in the quartet. Microphones were placed close to the instruments to produce a more vivid and raw sound. McCartney's choice of a string backing m ...

Sir Cliff is number 56 in the 2002 100 Greatest Britons list, sponsored by the BBC and voted for by the public. Adored especially by middle-aged women, many of whom camp out for his concert tickets, he has become a fixture of the British entertainment world and of British public life, an icon and all the more ...

| | | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - The Beatles album - Influence The White Album's cover has been very influential. In the 1990s, both Prince and Metallica released self-titled albums with their names printed against mostly plain black covers, and are both informally referred to as "The Black Album". In 2003, rapper Jay-Z released an album officially called The Black Album. Two compilations of Beatles material, released in 1973 as The Beatles 1962-1966 and The Beatles 1967-1970, are often referred to as "The Red Album" and "The Blue Album" respectively, with reference to their ...

| | | | | | Parlophone: Encyclopedia II - Yesterday song - The release While on holiday in Portugal at The Villa of Shadows in June 1965, McCartney completed the finishing touches on the lyrics. Two days after returning home, the track was laid down at Abbey Road Studios on the 14th and 17th June 1965. There are conflicting accounts of how the song was recorded, the most quoted one being that McCartney recorded the song by himself, without bothering to involve the other band members. [5] Alternative sources, however, state that McCartney and the other Beatles trie ...
