They did what they could at the time, uneven recordings and mistakes abound, the squeaky bass drum pedal in All I’ve Got To Do is a good one. 

 

it is my understanding that Paul was the most active Fab in mixing it from mono to stereo, why he allowed the Mother Superior section to remove him and the cymbal crashes is a mystery to me. Paul didn’t seem the type to shy away from enhancing his bass presence starting with Rubber Soul.

 

white album diffs in mono for the speed of Don’t Pass Me By and parts of Sexy Sadie and Helter Skelter make it better for me in mono at times.../

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The recent long interview with Macca in GQ is depressing, but he is what he is.

 

 

You seem to have this disdain for Paul McCartney. From all I've read, John seemed to have been the @$$hole of the group. What resources do you have that point to this?  Don't take this as an attacking question, I genuinely want to know and read it.

You can listen to the White Album in mono and stereo and hear the diffs for yourself. 

 

No secret Paul was the most involved of the 4 in final mixing, and no secret he thankfully pushed his bass into the foreground for albums starting with Rubber Soul, you can probably sing along to his bass work on Everybody’s Got.... My Monkey and Hey Bulldog.  I will argue he was one of the best bass players in pop history, at the very least he pioneered pushing it into the foreground, while at the same time penning several of the greatest songs of the 20th century and singing lead or background on almost all of them.

 

the GQ interview is flimsy and pointless, I wish he had more to him but that’s who he is and his more serious and deeper colleagues are sadly no longer with us.

 

I will argue for eternity that I Will is one of the more sane songs on the White Album, and that it was Paul’s song.

In 1972, former band rival and one of Ringo's former lead singers, Rory Storm commits suicide in a pact with his mother...

Paul was smart to increase his bass as he was basically drowned out by John's adenoidal powers when they sang in harmony. Must have burned to hear this effect on I Want to Hold Your Hand and She Loves You.

 

Norwegian Wood would be the best effort made to give both Paul and John strong presence together. Two of Us in mostly in unison when together.

 

John doubled tracked is the best voice in pop history, Jerry Garcia is 2nd place easily.

Hey Jude hits #1 on Billboard today in 1968, got a hunch it may stay there a little while.

Revolver was my favorite as a kid... favorite road song Live and Let Die... Saw Wings perform at RFK in 1980s July 4th concert really cool.  Love Sgt Pepper... probably my favorite Album

I read somewhere that Paul McCartney took his kids to see Guns N Roses. After the show he asked how they liked it. They liked it all except for that weird Live and Let Die song. They genuinely had no idea who's song that was.

Peter Noone's two-episode appearance on Dennis Miller's podcast is a good recall of Swinging London anecdotes.

Paul starts laying it down for Honey Pie.

 

a billion fans around the world don't know why but they did a facepalm lasting 5 minutes for no apparent reason on this day....

Exactly. What excactly comes with it? I hate deluxe releases that are essentially some random clips of barely audible studio talk, a few alternate tracks that are either indistinguishable from the original, or such low quality recorded demo, both of which I could usually get in YouTube.

If you don't have the boots, I'm sure the Esher demos are all over Youtube.

   Maybe you all should consider the remastered Red album.

For me, the "Blood On the Tracks" box set, as well as the Bobbie Gentry complete Capital recordings box set (86 previously unreleased tracks!) are my muses.

I can't say I'm a Bobbie Gentry fan, but I've read others talking about that box... sounds very, very impressive.
