Frank Zappa released a triple album set (1 + 2) - Joes Garage - in Sept and November 1979 and began recording his follow up (Tinsel Town Rebellion) that very month. Sorry, that took some work, but I had to find one.
But when did he finnish? June and began the next one in November? It's not the same ... and many years later ... I thought we were talking about the time the group still existed ... because surely Prince, to say one, have done something like that too ... and surely Bob gave marihuana to someone else for the first time or someone else (less famous, of course) have said "bigger than Jesus" somewhere ... anyway, thanks for the info, Kevin!
And to keep the post on track ... only the Beatles would have said "No" to George Martin when he offered them a song to record that was destined to be a # 1 hit for someone , saying they wanted their first #1 to be a song they had written ... and they hadn't even written it yet!
The song they turned down was "How Do You Do It", which did go on to #1 for another Brian Epstein group, Gerry and the Pacemakers. It was written by Mitch Murray - born the same year as John!!, and who I think went on to write other great pop tunes: "Hitching a Ride" released by Vanity Fair, "I'm Telling You Now", "Billy Don't Be a Hero", by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods, and "The Night Chicago Died".
The song they ultimately submitted for George Martin's approval to replace instead of "How Do You Do It" was ... "Please Please Me", their first # 1 hit!! They had actually written it already, and played it to GM, asking for it to be recorded instead of "How Do You Do It". He actually turned it down the first time they submitted it , "too slow and dirgelike" were the gist of his comments. John took it back, sped it up, and voila, BeatleMania here we come
I love John, I love Paul, And George and Ringo, I love them all!
*groan* I would smack you around, but your post was too interesting.
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison
^^^^Neil and Mal "pulled" the chicks for the Boys when on the road. But I've read/heard that Neil and Mal "auditioned" the girls before sending them to the Beatles.........
