Love this song... |

The Beatles simply submitted the films to the network. |

This is my favourite Beatles song as well. Transports me straight back to the 70's listening to my brother's record collection  |

This is my favourite Beatles single track - flipside of 'Paperback Writer' if my memory is correct from buying the single as a teenager when it was first released. Paul's great base playing and Ringo's great drumming.

I don't know what it is about this song... I loved it the minute it came out. Maybe it's Paul's Base. or John's Vocals... It just has always been my #1 Beatle song from the begining... Thanks for playing...

They were not the only band experimenting with the recording studio in 1966 but.......they were the only one that was already the most popular band on the planet when they started doing so. They opened up the doors to so many.

I guess I'm in a minority here. This is not one of my faves of theirs. I still like it. Just not as much as many here.

This could be the second best song recorded in the history of humanity... the only song that is better is Imagine...
this song relies on the elemental imagery of true poetry... and it rocks... love it...

The sound is special indeed because the tapes were actually played a bit faster than normal while recording. Played at normal speeds this is what made this special 'sloopy' sound, it's what you hear with the bass and drums. So even the bass was being played faster (and higher)

I assume you are engaging in hyperbole. As great as this, and those other songs are - hearing them once a day is more than enough. |
