I’ve seen other users asking Joe to “do something about this guy”, because you’ve flooded the comment section with spiteful postings for some time now, but since you’re obviously free to express your opinion he rightfully didn’t act in any way, as long as you refer to the song.

So hopefully you do the smart thing yourself and realize that nobody gains anything by pouring hate and spiteful words over a certain member of The Beatles.
So PLEASE show some respect to Sir Paul OR at least step away from posting the same nonsense again and again.

I surely won’t answer to any more of your dribble, let me just state that I love the fact that they all didn’t take themselves as seriously as they easily could have as the biggest band in the universe, especially Paul who often gets the blame for being “too competive” or whatever…
There are endless examples where Paul upgraded songs by the others with an integral bass, keyboard or guitar part and so much more.
On the other hand, Paul laughed during the recording of his own song “Maxwell’s silver hammer” – and kept it.

Final word about “who wrote what”: There’s an almost perfect way to tell, with very, very few exceptions: Singer = writer. On “Every little thing” it’s easy: They both sing everything, John being more audible in the verse, Paul in the chorus. So there you are, they wrote it together, John might have done more on the verses, Paul on the chorus.
It’s as easy as that and if you feel the need to express your hate for Paul by questioning his character and his motives – fine, your loss!

But try to realize that your personal opinion might be quite offensive and disrespectful not just against Paul but also his fans.

Tell me again the one about the pop band whose name you couldn’t identify who gave you reliable information about George Martin’s insight into the chemistry of the band.

But do so elsewhere on this sight of course since you’ve already given such an enlightening take on how “Every Little Thing” was not a Paul McCartney song. Peter Sellers could have learned from you.

So, my new opinion is that Paul took a back seat to John on the verses for some reason–but the combination of John’s edge and Paul’s sweetness on the vocal really add to the appeal of the song for me.

I also believe there’s no question that John is playing the lead parts on his recently acquired Rickenbacker 12-string. Anyone with ears ought to be able to tell that the sound of this instrument is completely different from the sound George got out of his Rick.

The only other fly in the ointment is that someone has to be playing a six-string electric guitar in the course of the solo. That’s because the lead up to the A that comes after the first phrase (E-F#-Ab-A) would feature octaves if it had been played on a 12-string. It’s the same deal with the muted steady A notes that lead into the final riff at the end of the song. No octaves, so this has to be a six-string playing along with the Rickenbacker 12.

I’m no expert as many are on the subject of who is playing what on which track. But this had to have been worked out in some way.

I really like the drama of it,the piano and the almost spector-like production. For me its easily one of the best on “beatles for sale”.
