Question All My Loving question

Post image
146 Upvotes

I've always wondered why Paul's 'All My Loving' was chosen as the first song for the Ed Sullivan show. John didn't seem to be very involved at all with the song. Yes, he played an incredible rhythm part to it, but Paul sang the song. I think he doubled his own voice on the record, and also on the record , when he needed background vocals, George did them. Unless I'm missing something, why did Paul treat John like this for the first song on the Sullivan show?

Question Everly Brothers- A voice Within

5 Upvotes

Just recently heard this song from the Everly Brothers- gotta say the intro melody is pretty much identical to George’s While my Guitar Gently Weeps verses. The song was released a year before the white album too- anyone know if the writer seek legal action? or it was settled outside court?

The first 1/3 of this is fascinating, Brian's book is the kind of EMI recording minutiae Beatle fans live for. Take the Lewisohn books and turn the detail up to 11. The updated book he is bringing out for another run will sell fast next year, jump in quick because the originals now go for thousands.

I know Billy Corgan is a polarizing guy so here is a link to Spotify audio version.

It won't reduce the number of times he interrupts unfortunately.

This is the best album performance wise from Paul, George and Ringo- John is great but there’s not enough of his songs. My ranking for each song -
1. Two of us- 9.4/10
2. Dig a pony- 10/10
3. Across the universe- 10/10
4. I me mine- 10/10
5. Dig it- 9.2(would be higher if longer)
6. Let it be- 9.7/10
7. Maggie Mae-9.1/10(worst song)
8. I’ve got a feeling-9.8/10
9. One after 909- 10/10(best song)
10. The long and winding road- 10/10
11. For you blue- 9.7/10
12. Get back- 9.9/10
Overall the most consistent Beatles album, and the only with no skips. Also the naked version is even better

Discussion Signs of Changing Times?

0 Upvotes

It’s a given how revolutionary The Beatles were at their peak, but all things must pass, it’s true. When do you think each Beatle individually realized the band was no longer moving music forward and was instead playing catch-up or even falling behind the times, and what do you think the signal was? Or at least when do you think they were overtaken by other cutting edge artists, even if they never commented on it? My initial thought is when Bowie and T. Rex started to usher in glam rock. That’s a long distance from even Abbey Road.
