@steveconn Paul does not copy the chords or the melody, what he copies is the rhythm of the left hand. Only similarities in the right hands are that they play in roughly the same octave. The Bad Penny Blues left hand riff is itself based on a riff by Dan Burley of Chicago who played skiffle music.

@bloodnokian Yes it does doesn't it!!

@stwads Yes he was and it was his idea to compress the piano and bring it to the front of the song. In hindsight, the intro riff sounds like McCartney stole it and changed it a bit for Lady Madonna.

@Herringish - you must be on your grans medication for thinking that it sounds like the beatles version for a couple of reasons:
1. its in a completely different key
2.your gay?
3. how old are you? i think around six for having that created animated animal crap on your wall.Somthing my 4 year old cousin would be interested in. Because it does.

@stwads Yes it's true, Joe Meek produced and mixed this. Lyttleton hated the mix, cos Joe had amped up the brushes and the piano left hand. Apparently jazz "purists" don't do that. But the result was and is a minor masterpiece because of Joe meek.

@stwads My reliable source in print states Joe Meek as producer.

@Herringish No, Lady Madonna sounds like this....

Yes I see now. thanks!

P.201 of THE ROUGH GUIDE TO THE BEATLES gives credit of Madonna sound to suggestion made by George Martin WHO WAS AT THE '55 RECORDING OF BAD PENNY BLUES. Now let's try to get along and agree music, like language, shares many similar ideas and borrowings, homages, etc.



Is it trueJoe Meek was the sound engineer or producer on this?
