The cut is a trifle — but also a testament to the arc of a band from Slow Down to this in only five years. Beyond amazing. Even given Martin's studio recording tricks and overdubs, all the money and time and the lack of necessity to prep for touring, the progression of sound and content in half a decade from She Loves You to Savoy Truffle knocks every other band that ever existed right out of the category.

I remember grooving to this jamming little ditty my friend would bring over to slap down on Dad's Garrard turntable after school...it was already almost a decade old but it blew us away every time...we were just getting first tastes of weed — and wondering what THESE GUYS were on (and wishing we had some!)...DIG IT!

This album was recorded in "true" stereo. There was nothing done "cheaply" - The Beatles and EMI were using very expensive, state-of-the art equipment in 1968. As mentioned earlier, most things George Martin and The Beatles did in the studio were "on-purpose, artsy" things. |

Not my favorite 'George'...off a not so great Beatles album. Tons of filler on the White Album.

Correction: *everything* George Martin (the producer in question) did was an "on-purpose artsy thing". That's 'cuz he was, you know, an artist. Oh, and the remastered version features the same stereo mix — quirky by todays standards, but definitely "artsy". |

Unbelievable. It's been 40 YEARS. Sounds fresh as if it were last month. I'm grateful - so grateful - to have lived through the Beatle era.

I love this song, and I love this album(s). Now I'll read the rest of the thread to see how far I'm out of context.

Been enjoying more and more of the George Harrison Beatle material lately. Somewhat overlooked and under rated in my opinion.

Somebody's gonna say Beethoven's 9th I just know it.. With Dennis Hoppers last moments in "True Romance" in mind I'd like to suggest we start w/ Beck's incomparable Stereopathetic Soul Manure. It's bold, honest, ‘looks down the barrel of the gun, ..with a coke and a smile. rock and roll. I realize there's an unexplainable dearth of imagination ( i don't understand it) here but c'mon people.. anything? ENeeeething. Anything but the you know JPG.ringo jingo band..(whew. gotta be careful how I say that) Hey that's a catchy name. Sounds like a 80's 90's outdoor concert jam band. HaHaaa! they wish right? they couldn't leave the studio with that dog and pony show if they tried. Come to think of it they look kinda cabin-feverish in those last studio sessions.. hmm. The dark ominous cloud of realization slowly rolling in... kinda hard to watch. |
