Must have been daydreaming of the next silly comment you’ll make.

I wouldn’t call it the “same”.

Unconvincing, and clearly unsubstantiated.

Pressed to explain, good Sir Paul does his best to put an end to the barrage of questions and references to one song of all the hundreds (though many others are over-analyzed)…and put a lid on it (pardon the pun) with the references, questions, disputes surrounding ‘Got to Get You…”. “Blackbird” is another gem….no one in all the musicians, writers, Beatles fans, West Coast or East Coast in the United States of America, thought this tune was explicitly about black discrimination. No one. Later, Paul tells us this is what is was. I can appreciate his ownership of the lyrics….however, if it were so much about discrimination, why keep a secret until about 2014 or so…when he spills the beans after an opportunity arose surrounding “what was Blackbird really about” agendas by everyone needing to study to death the gorgeousness of The Beatles. To quote other Beatles lyrics: “LET IT BE”.

Paperback writer
Eleanot Rigby
Here, there and everywhere
Yellow submaine
Good day sunshine
For no one
Got to get you into my Life
The family way
Penny lane
When I´m sixty-four

Somewhat strange considering the rather severe problems with an injured face that he was going through at the time.

Nowhere does he say it was written just before the Revolver sessions. Many examples exist of the Beatles recording and releasing songs years after they were written. None of the lyrics imply LSD specifically, but “every single day of my life” seems to mirror Paul’s pot usage then and subsequently. I don’t recall any data that supports Paul as that emphatic about LSD.

This was deliberate as , imho, was McCarneys subsequent misleading tale of what inspired the song.

The crux of the matter is the acceptance that McCartney first took acid before the Revolver sessions and not after as commonly reported. The lyrics make much more sense if they are viewed as being about a recent new experience and not a nearly 2 year old experience with pot.

McCartney’s vocals are brilliant and the saxophone/ trumpet use in this is a masterstroke. As John Lennon said they are great lyrics. George Harrison’s lead guitar work in this song,( as it is in so many others), is fantastic.

Maybe some whizzo could do some magic and dub it onto the original mix.

Paul’s vocals are quite different in the slow fade out and the backing is different there too.

There are no X’s in the matrix numbers.

I want to hear Ringo’s drums the way they should have been… not so far back in the mix they dissappear! Again Thanks.

At some point in the decade, albums originally released on Capitol were reissued on the Apple label. Coinciding with this cosmetic move was a more substantive one: stereo mixes were tweaked to rein in the awful wide-panning done the previous decade, bringing the instrumentation closer to the center.
This updating provided a fringe benefit to this track in particular. Ringo’s drum fills, coming at the end of each verse and heretofore somewhat buried, suddenly leapt from the speakers, giving the song some percussive pop to match the brass. The difference on the Apple release of Revolver is truly striking, making all other releases sound anemic by comparison.”

I have recently found a copy of this lp release and have listened to verify the claim….100% true. One day I will make a video on YouTube and post the link.

The guys who wrote “Fab 4 FAQ” state this in their book. Matrix should read ST 1-2576, ST 2-2576 (No “X” in matrix numbers)
