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".

George Harrison's Savoy Truffles:

4 T butter
1 egg yolk
½ C icing sugar, sifted
½ C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 T vanilla extract
1 T brandy
dessicated coconut

In a small saucepan, over very low heat, melt butter and whisk in the egg yolk until thick, add sugar and whisk until smooth. Add brandy and vanilla extract. Add the chocolate chips and stir with a rubber spatula until chips are completely melted and mixture is smooth and no longer glossy. Transfer to a glass container and cool in the fridge for 30 minutes. Shape into 1-inch balls, roll in coconut.
