“Mind Games” (Elements Mix) is the Gospel of John Lennon

To create a so-called elements mix of John Lennon’s “Mind Games,” producer Sean Ono Lennon stripped away everything but Ken Ascher’s organ.

The resulting solo-instrumental soundtrack is funereal - akin to entering the church of Lennon, with just the organ filling the air like soothing pre-mourning music. The track is out behind the “Mind Games” mini-documentary that announced the July 12 arrival of Mind Games - The Ultimate Collection.

Featuring only one to three instruments, elements mixes are designed to take the focus off Lennon and put it on the nuances of the respective melodies. It worked on “Mind Games” - the original song is identifiable through the freshly revealed, haunting undertones even as you look around to ensure you haven’t died.

You’ve not. But the music does seem heavenly.

John Lennon: Mind Games

Music For Pleasure 1A022-58136, 1980

Originally released: 29 October 1973

[eppysboys]

WALLS AND BRIDGES

“Written amidst a turbulent, chaotic period in his personal life, John Lennon’s 1974 album Walls and Bridges is his most misunderstood – and arguably finest – solo LP.”

“How very different he sounded on Walls and Bridges, exposing the demons which hanged him mercilessly. Lennon could comfort himself musically in the reliable hands of reliable session players Klaus Voorman, Jim Keltner, Jesse Ed Davis and Ken Ascher, knowing they could capture the backing he needed to duet with Elton John. A jaunty number, ‘Whatever Gets You Thru The Night’was the product of Beatle progenitor and studier laughing, stomping and clapping their way to the top of the US Charts. Lennon would join his namesake John at Thanksgiving performance at Madison Square Garden that November, Lennon’s last major concert at that. For all his new-found muse, the treasures of fame were lost on Lennon, a year where he watched Paul McCartney become an Oscar nominee and stadium highlight. Pencilled by many as the darkest Beatle, Lennon’s greatest work was his most truthful and it was only through the depravity of his darkest secrets that he re-capture that spark that so many envied. Born in confessional agony, Lennon strums the opening chords ‘Nobody Loves You (When You’re Down and Out)’ cascading the desolate whims he’d fancifully throw to the bellowing horns which blasted the audience. As it ended on an aphorism, Lennon proffered the sadly prophetic “everyone loves you when you’re six feet underground” with causality and silence. No quip, no glib remark, only a doleful whistle to comfort his listeners. In all his primal agony, Lennon had never shown such pain with such dignity. An epochal moment, it might be the finest song Lennon ever wrote.” New Sounds writer, Eoghan Lyng “The Walls And Bridges sessions were the most professional I have been on. He was there every day, 12 o’clock to 10 o’clock, go home, off the weekends, eight weeks, done. John knew what he wanted, he knew how to get what he was going after. He was going after a noise and he knew how to get it. And for the most part, he got it. What he explained, we used to get.” Jimmy Iovine, Overdub Engineer on Walls and Bridges The LP’s inner sleeve was enclosed inside another card container featuring more photographs of Lennon, and an eight-page booklet completed the package. The booklet contained song lyrics, five more artworks from the 1950s, and an extract from the book Irish Families, Their Names, Arms And Origins by Edward Maclysaght which detailed the history of the name Lennon. The booklet also featured credits for the album, and two quotations: ‘”Possession is nine-tenths of the problem” – Dr. Winston O’Boogie’; and ‘On the 23rd August 1974 at 9 o’clock I saw a U.F.O. – J.L.’

The men present who voted unanimously were either all of those or some of those. We don’t know. We can presume that the Officers were all likely present: Kevin Schaal, Gordan Dickson, Taigen Joos, Bud Steadman, and Michael Privett.

Who abstained? Bob III didn’t. Mike Harding as a present BJU Board member? Stephen Jones as a very absent member of the Royal family? Mark Minnick as a current employee?

The only name on there that I can guarantee did not abstain was Don Johnson, but he’s an old friend of mine. ;)

What do you think?

ON THIS DATE (50 YEARS AGO)

October 29, 1973 - John Lennon: "Mind Games" b/w “Meat City” (Apple 1868) 45 single is released in the US.

"Mind Games" is a song written by John Lennon, released as a single in 1973 on Apple Records. It peaked at #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #26 on the British singles chart. It was the lead single for the album of the same name in the US but released the same day as the album in the UK.

This song, which was begun in 1969 and can be heard in the Beatles' Let It Be sessions, was originally titled "Make Love Not War," a popular hippie slogan at that time.

Four years later, the lyrics evolved into "Mind Games", which was inspired by the book of the same name by Robert Masters and Jean Houston (1972). In keeping with the original theme, the lyrics advocate unity, love, and a positive outlook. The lyric "YES is the answer" is a nod to his wife Yoko Ono's art piece that brought them together originally. The song was recorded as Lennon split with her for his 18-month "lost weekend" with May Pang.

__________

CASH BOX, November 3, 1973

JOHN LENNON (Apple P-1868) Mind Games (3:59) (John Lennon, BMI—J. Lennon) From his forthcoming album of the same name, John comes through with his most powerful recorded effort in some time. Top flight vocal performance backed by that steady, yet driving, tempo accentuates some great lyrics, all in making for a great song. Definitely Top 5 within a matter of weeks. Flip: no info, available.

BEATLES BIBLE

Written by: Lennon

Recorded: July-August 1973

Producer: John Lennon

Released: 16 November 1973 (UK), 29 October 1973 (US)

John Lennon: vocals, guitar

David Spinozza: guitar

Ken Ascher: keyboards

Gordon Edwards: bass guitar

Jim Keltner: drums

The title track of John Lennon's fourth solo album began life as Make Love Not War, a protest song in the vein of Give Peace A Chance.

The first-known recording of the song was made on 11 February 1970, the date the Plastic Ono Band appeared on the BBC television show Top Of The Pops to promote Instant Karma. Yoko Ono's former husband Tony Cox was documenting events on camera on this and the following three days and captured a guitar performance of Make Love Not War by Lennon.

Lennon recorded a piano demo of the song towards the end of 1970 at his home in Ascot, England. It was released on the 1998 box set John Lennon Anthology, although it was incorrectly annotated as coming from 1973. The demo went no further than the descending chords of the verses, and the lyrics "Make love not war/I know you've heard it before" and "Love is the answer/And you know that it's true".

During the same session, he worked on I Promise, which was based on a piano motif similar to Paul McCartney's song Oh! Darling. The brief recording also contained the "Love is the answer/And you know that for sure" lines, suggesting Lennon was unsure of what to do with the idea. This recording also appeared on John Lennon Anthology in edited form. In the original tape, he commented: "I keep using the same middle eight for every song."

"It was originally called Make Love Not War, but that was such a cliché that you couldn't say it anymore, so I wrote it obscurely, but it's all the same story. How many times can you say the same thing over and over? When this came out, in the early Seventies, everybody was starting to say the Sixties was a joke, it didn't mean anything, those love-and-peaceniks were idiots. [Sarcastically] "We all have to face the reality of being nasty human beings who are born evil and everything's gonna be lousy and rotten so boo-hoo-hoo..." "We had fun in the Sixties," they said, "but the others took it away from us and spoiled it all for us." And I was trying to say: "No, just keep doin' it."

~ John Lennon, 1980, All We Are Saying, David Sheff

Another version of Make Love Not War was filmed for the Imagine project, but was left out when the original 85-minute documentary was cut to 55 minutes. At this time the song was barely any closer to completion than it had been a year earlier.

On 10 September 1971 Lennon and Ono made a film, Clock, in the St Regis Hotel in New York. The hotel was their first home before they were able to arrange more permanent accommodation.

Clock marked the passing of one hour by focusing on the hands of a hotel room clock, but more interesting was the soundtrack. As Ono made arrangements on the telephone for her forthcoming art exhibition This Is Not Here at the Everson Art Museum, Lennon played a number of songs on an acoustic guitar. These included rock 'n' roll classics, some songs which appeared on Imagine and Some Time In New York City, and fragments of tunes he was working on. He performed the chorus of Make Love Not War, but still took it no further.

Eventually Lennon pulled all the song fragments together into Mind Games. Before entering the studio to record the album he spent a fortnight in pre-production, writing a number of new songs and finishing several others.

In the studio

The Mind Games album was recorded in July and August 1973. Lennon had abandoned most of the anti-war sentiment of the demos, although the fade-out did contain the lines "I want you to make love, not war/I know you've heard it before".

The new lyrics were based on a book, also called Mind Games, by Robert Masters and Jean Houston. The book promoted mental fulfilment through raised consciousness, and several of the key themes found their way into Lennon's lyrics.

The song was a clear return to upbeat pop music, a departure from the rock 'n' roll and radical sloganeering of 1972's recordings with Elephant's Memory. On Mind Games Lennon used a selection of New York session musicians who were able to create an appropriately lush sound for the the songs that Lennon wrote and produced.

"The seeming orchestra on it is just me playing three notes on a slide guitar. And the middle eight is reggae. Trying to explain to American musicians what reggae was in 1973 was pretty hard, but it's basically a reggae middle eight if you listen to it."

~ John Lennon, 1980

Mind Games was the only single released from the album of the same name. It was not a success, peaking at number 18 in the United States and 26 in the United Kingdom.

Despite being Lennon's most assured song for two years, his commercial standing had taken a hit by the political nature of the Some Time In New York City songs, and the public reception for his new material was less favourable than it had been. Had Mind Games being completed and recorded two years earlier, and issued shortly after Imagine, it would most likely have fared better.

Ascher Tamás Háromszéken, Katona József Színház Eldőlni látszik, hogyan is állok én Pintér Bélával, a vígjátékai nem jönnek be, a tragédiák igen. Ezen a katonás előadáson sem tudtam szórakozni, néha halványan nevettem, de szerintem ez az egész darab teljesen felesleges volt. Van benne pár jó ötlet, és persze ezeket a színészeket bármeddig elnézem (tényleg, elképesztő, hogy Jordán Adél hova fejlődött, mennyire borzalmas volt a karrierje elején, most meg elvisz egy előadást a hátán). Tessék már rendes darabokba fektetni a Fekete-Keresztes-Elek stb. energiákat, ez csak a felszínen a kapirgálás, sok üresjárattal.

2020: The Year in Green’s Party

Even amid a global pandemic, I somehow kept my pop culture obsessions going strong on this blog, better known as Green’s Party! In many ways, the escapism I always have loved about movies, music, TV and more, meant more than ever. Here are some of the highlights of this blog in 2020:

- Retweets: There were a number of occasions in 2020 when my posts got retweeted, including David Sancious retweeting my review of his album Eyes Wide Open, Cameron Crowe liked my tweet to him about the passing of Ken Osmond, Mindy Cohn liked my birthday tweet to her, Denis Leary liked one of my tweets about Monument Ave, Samantha Mathis liked my tweet about Pump Up the Volume, Colin Hanks liked my tweet about his Tower Records doc, and Rodney Ascher was very thankful on twitter for my praise of his Room 237 doc.

- Movie Reviews: Thank God we had movies in 2020! Sure there were tons of movies delayed, movie theater closures and film productions shut down, but I got to watch and review a ton of movies this year and that (thankfully) took my mind off a lot of things. I got to do my annual coverage of the Oscar Nominated Short Films as well as review of The Doors: Break on Thru - A Celebration of Ray Manzarek, The Man in the Mask, What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael, Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band, Beastie Boys Story, The King of Staten Island, 40 Years of Rocky, Warning: Do Not Play, You Don’t Nomi, Scare Package, Scream Queen, Irresistible, All I Can Say, Yes, God, Yes, In Search of Darkness, The Go-Go’s, Creem, I Used to Go Here, Happy Happy Joy Joy, Ronnie Wood: Somebody Up There Likes Me, On The Rocks, Save Yourselves!, David Byrne’s American Utopia, White Riot, Bruce Springsteen’s Letter to You, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, The Climb, Leap of Faith, The Orange Years, Belushi, Uncle Frank, Zappa, and Promising Young Woman.

- TV Reviews: In addition to movies, I got to review a TV special for Shudder: Creepshow Holiday Special.

- Album Reviews: I got to review tons of albums including Green Day’s Father of All..., Pearl Jam’s Gigaton, David Sancious’ Eyes Wide Open, Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys 50th Anniversary Vinyl Edition and Live from Maui, Fiona Apple’s Fetch the Bolt Cutters, EOB’s Earth, Prince’s early 00s reissues The Rainbow Children and Up All Nite with Prince, Neil Young’s Homegrown, Eric Clapton and B.B. King’s Riding with the King reissue, Anthrax’s Persistence of Time reissue, The Empty Hearts’ The Second Album, The Rolling Stones’ Goats Head Soup Deluxe Edition and Steel Wheels Live, L7′s Smell the Magic reissue, Sad13′s Haunted Painting, Will Butler’s Generations, Travis’s 10 Songs, Jeff Tweedy’s Showbiz Kids soundtrack and Love is the King, Bruce Springsteen’s Letter to You, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings’ Just Dropped In (to see what Condition my Rendition was in), U2′s All That You Can’t Leave Behind Super Deluxe Edition, The Dirty Knobs’ Wreckless Abandon, and Billie Joe Armstrong’s No Fun Mondays.

- Concert Reviews: In March of this year, all live music was essentially shut down by COVID-19. So looking back at this year, there were significantly less concerts I got to review, however in February I was lucky enough to see Birds of a Feather (Chris and Rich Robinson)!

- DVD and Blu-ray Reviews: There was also plenty of DVD and Blu-ray releases I got to review including The Rolling Stones: Steel Wheels Live, Mallrats 25th anniversary, Adaptation, and Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live from Maui.

- Book Reviews and coverage: I got to cover Mark Lanegan’s book Sing Backwards and Weep, Chris Frantz’ memoir Remain in Love, and Jerry Seinfeld’s Is This Anything?.

- Interviews: I was lucky enough to interview director Kitty Green (The Assistant), director Derek Wayne Johnson (40 Years of Rocky), comedian Bill Braudis, Talking Heads drummer and published author (Remain in Love) Chris Frantz, Weird Al drummer and published author (Black and White and Weird All Over) Jon “Bermuda” Schwartz, filmmakers Taylor Morden and Zeke Kamm (The Last Blockbuster), and The Dandy Warhols’ keyboardist/bassist Zia McCabe!

- Film Festivals and Events: I got to cover the Ding Ho Comedy Club 40th Reunion in July, 2020 Salem Horror Fest in October, and 2020 IFFBoston Fall Focus in November.

...And the biggest posts of the year:

- On Jan. 1, Green’s Party turned 7!

- In March, I posted about the passing of Alan Merrill. 26 notes.

- In June, I shared Sesame Street’s message of equality. 55 notes, making it the biggest post of the year:

- In August, I posted about the passing of Joe Ruby. 37 notes.

- In November, I posted about the passing of Alex Trebeck, Elsa Raven, and Bones Hillman. 25 notes.
