There are interesting outtakes of the butcher-cover-photo sessions. I am not familiar with the footage which has the Spanish-language subtitles on the screen; the Anthology stuff was done c. 1994 (John Lennon had been shot and killed Dec. 8, 1980, so you had 3 surviving Beatles in 1994).

The footage is from the Beatles anthology 9, a special edition with director's cuts.

40 years on and this is still amazing. When I was a kid I was a Beatles nut, now im coming back as an adult and realising these guys were really on another planet at this point.

That's Paul's Taxman solo played backwards.

when I first heard of the beatles in the 90s, thought they were just a teenage heart throb love song band, this song changed my perception of the beatles when I first heard it and led me to listen to more beatle songs and I got hook

@04116404 Nah man, you've got to understand The Beach Boys a little better. There's a whole lot more than just five or six good songs. It takes time to understand how truly great The Beach Boys were and how they are undeniably THE American rock and roll band. The Beatles loved The Beach Boys and were influenced greatly by their music (Paul in particular). Do you have "Pet Sounds?" If not, I recommend you start there and then backtrack.

@FamousTonyC I agree that Revolver is the better LP. Pepper is a fine piece of work, but it is (IMO) too Paul & too little John & George. Revolver is an amazingly creative, edgy and polished record with a far more "balanced" distribution of the member's talents (songwriting, vocals, instruments). Many people (now and certainly then) loved the Beatles because they had 4 unique members that TOGETHER created something very special. We loved that each sang lead & had their own "moment" in the sun.

@ungassy The music is timeless, you're not weird. They broke up before I was able to talk, I had to discover them later too (I was six or seven then in the late 70's). By that point this song was already more than 10 years old. Now it's more than 45 years old and it's still fresh.

@ungassy I have no idea why anyone would think u are weird for liking the Beatles.They are a human phenomenon of 20th century popular culture and are known in every country of the world.They say a Beatles song is playing somewhere around the world non-stop every second of any minute of every hour or every day.Very few rock groups are as universally loved and respected as the Beatles.To like the Beatles is about as weird as eating a bowl of cornflakes.Who are these 'most people' u talk about?

Groovy!

The Beatles---particularly John Lennon---were far ahead of their time. Even today their music stands apart as works of art. Between Revolver (which IMO is a better album than---) and SGT Pepper's, this band set a standard that cannot be matched by any artist or group. You can hear elements of their style in every popular rock band of the modern era (think U2.) Simply incredible.

I'm a 25 year old Beatlemaniac. Most people think Im weird but ... fuck them!

THE BEATLES FOREVER!
