Music reviews of All This & World War II
Music Review: Strange Over-the-Top Mid-70s Concept Album
Rating: 4 Stars
The idea was to do a massive cover project of Beatles songs done by everyone who was hot in the mid-70s - or wanted to be. This was five years after the Beatles broke up, so maybe the time wasn't right; too soon. Today, this would be a Tribute Album; back then, it was a What the Hell IS This Album? Anyway, this was the Golden Age of Ken Russell films, those overwrought maybe-masterpieces you either got or didn't. Someone thought it would be great to make a film along with the album. Then, someone had the insane idea of combining all this music with newsreel and theatrical film footage of . . . World War II? Yep. "Here Comes the Sun" becomes the rising sun of Japan's flag, a defeated Mussolini is a "Nowhere Man," and Hitler is seen relaxing at his Bavarian retreat as "The Fool on the Hill." Someone has to be kidding, right? The project sounds like a YouTube aberration but it was financed and released by 20th Century Fox. It was yanked out of theaters after week or two. The album has had a life of its own, featuring notable names and people you've never heard of. (Wikipedia is a good place to read more.) About the CD; it omits the final song, "Give Peace a Chance," which summed up the film as an extended anti-war statement. The film doesn't exist as an official release - it would probably cost a billion dollars to secure the rights - but a web-search shows you can find it on DVD. You can see the trailer on You-Tube. P.S. John Lennon was slightly involved with the film - he plays guitar on Elton John's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." He liked the film, but he was the walrus AND the eggman, so who really knows?
