Synopsis
A revealing history of the Beatles’ experimental record label, as told by the label’s manager, Barry Miles.
In August 1968, the Beatles launched their greatest business enterprise, Apple Records, to international fanfare. The less well-known story is the introduction of their Zapple label about nine months later. If Apple represented artists with new, commercial opportunities, Zapple offered more cutting-edge freedom; its mission was to distribute experimental music and spoken word recordings from the leading avant-garde figures of the time. The brainchild of Paul McCartney, the label captured the counterculture spirit of the 1960s by collaborating with Yoko Ono alongside John Lennon, Allen Ginsberg, Richard Brautigan, Charles Bukowski, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Charles Olson.
The Zapple Diaries is the first full-length look at the enterprise, as well as a true insider account from Barry Miles, the label’s manager who went on to become a leading authority and chronicler of ‘60s culture. He provides insight into the colorful lives and working methods of the artists and discloses the fascinating story of the experimental venture, ultimately offering up a revealing and engaging account of this little-known chapter of Beatles history.

Gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Im August 1968 gründeten die Beatles unter großem internationalem Beifall ihr größtes Unternehmen, Apple Records. Weniger bekannt ist die Einführung ihres Labels Zapple etwa neun Monate später. Während Apple Künstler mit neuen kommerziellen Möglichkeiten vertrat, bot Zapple mehr Freiheit für experimentelle Musik und Spoken-Word-Aufnahmen der führenden Avantgarde-Künstler der Zeit. Das Label, eine Idee von Paul McCartney, fing den Geist der Gegenkultur der 1960er Jahre ein, indem es mit Yoko Ono zusammenarbeitete, neben John Lennon, Allen Ginsberg, Richard Brautigan, Charles Bukowski, Lawrence Ferlinghetti und Charles Olson. The Zapple Diaries ist der erste umfassende Blick auf das Unternehmen sowie ein authentischer Insiderbericht von Barry Miles, dem Manager des Labels, der später zu einer führenden Autorität und Chronisten der Kultur der 60er Jahre wurde. Er gibt Einblicke in das bunte Leben und die Arbeitsweise der Künstler und enthüllt die faszinierende Geschichte des experimentellen Unternehmens. Letztendlich bietet er einen aufschlussreichen und spannenden Bericht über dieses wenig bekannte Kapitel der Beatles-Geschichte. (Text engl.) 240 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 7031203
