The Beatles Baby You're A Rich Man (2009 Stereo Remaster)

"Baby, You're a Rich Man" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and recorded by The Beatles on 11 May 1967 at Olympic Sound Studios. This was the first song by the band recorded and mixed completely outside Abbey Road Studios. The song was recorded during sessions for the Magical Mystery Tour EP, but was intended for the Yellow Submarine soundtrack. That plan changed when it was used as the B-side of the "All You Need Is Love" single.
Two song fragments were combined to create "Baby, You're a Rich Man". The verses from "One of the Beautiful People" by John Lennon were combined with Paul McCartney's previously unaccompanied "Baby, you're a rich man..." chorus. Two songs were combined in a similar fashion to make "A Day in the Life". The song featured an unusual oboe-like sound, which was created with a clavioline, an early forerunner of the synthesiser.

John lennon 1940 - 1980

Damnit, The Beatles were/are the best ever. This is a relatively minor track, never a single, that the writer (John) never thought much of, off an album that isn't that highly esteemed (as Beatles albums go) and it works beautifully as the finale of a terrific contemporary movie, The Social Network. A filler, toss-off Beatles song, written and performed in a rush, is much better than practically any major single by a big artist today.

Like I said: Damn it, they were and are the best.

[turtleswithbeards]

@kinghhhofkings search for baby and you'll see it.

A filler song which if released today would be a number 1 hit. Clearly there are 5 people who will never be rich.

@RRARafa HA! Love Paul's officious look while holding the camera in a convertible looking every bit the ROARING TWENTIES "When I'm sixty-four" dude, dude.

[scizotts]

@scizotts Oh yeah . . . and that opening BASS intro. BRILLIANT AS USUAL.

[scizotts]

@misterdeadly1 Hey. If The Beatles were tossing-off, then they deserved it. Can't believe you'd bring their personal/privy-time lives into this ! (Sorry. Couldn't resist)

[scizotts]

I think it was great that they didn't mind A & B siding the lyrics [A] "Nothin' you can see that isn't shown." and [B] "What did you see when you were there? Nothing that doesn't show." Only The Beatles could get away with that !
