And to really blow your mind, here is Take 1, the very first thing the Beatles recorded after they decided to quit touring forever and just concentrate on the studio...
No LSD or drug influence on these tunes... turn it up loud.... As Edwin Starr sang; "Good gawd ya'll" - I love The Beatles. I remember when I was in college in the mid- 70's when Paul McCartney & Wings were topping the charts and younger kids / teens were heard saying things like "hey, did you know that Paul McCartney was in a group before Wings?"
for what they did and if you compare it to the other stuff that was out there at the time, the beatles are by far the most creative studio band of all time. you can argue live performances and best rock band etc..i think zep is at the top of my list but i pulled out some of my old beatles stuff a few weeks ago and listened to it for the first time in a couple of years and after wishing i was high, was thinking, this **** is still so far ahead of anything produced today...
