Love this song ... how could you not?

HOWEVER ... these guys wouldn't stand a chance in today's music/marketing world.

@mmmmarcd

@jimmefoxx

were you there? lol

How come this recording sounds so good??? What recording system? So rich and full on the instrumentals. What have they done to modern digital music?

@southrncalifgirl1

Abbey Road Studios, where the Beatles recorded. EMI's Abbey Road Studios was equipped with EMI-made British Tape Recorders (BTR)[2] which were developed in 1948, essentially as copies of German wartime recorders. with the introduction of four-track machines in 1963 (the first 4-track recording was "I Want to Hold Your Hand") there came a change in the way recordings were made—tracks could be built up layer by layer, encouraging experimentation in the recording process

We live in a different world today....full of constant negativity....this was made in a day when things were simple....and there was some grain of innocence left. And, yes, they are lip-synching because in those days, that's what they did. There was just too much to chance actually singing....what if you goofed? Speaking of an "excrement waterfall"...turn on MTV today....THAT is crapola..and that's being kind.

@Booberry82 I'd love to be in a world without this crapola. But when you're forced to stand in an excrement waterfall; you just have to smile and say I'm so grateful for technology.

@ritared236 because those people could play music and write songs I think that's untrue. the Beatles would be like Maroon 5 or something and Elvis would be a country star. you have to put them in the biz with the talent they have and not the songs they did....being younger they would write more current songs and Elvis...not a great writer but a good looking energetic performer would fit right in Nashville.it has to be in context with today.

[ronetteloverz]

Gee...back then they actually wore suits when singing...imagine that...

[Booberry82]

i won't stay in a world without YouTube.

[dextermorgan3]

Kind of looks like a young Lennon - especially from a side profile

[garycalgary]

For some reason this song was running through my head all day no clue why I haven't heard it for years

[Versed2]

@mmmmarcd Maybe not, but Peter Asher's daughter Victoria Asher has a hit with Cobra Starship.
