The Think for yourself 'tape' was recorded while they were recording the backing vocals, the backing vocals went to the 4 track tape then they would switch recording to another tape machine inbetween takes/segments, this is 18:55 of that.
"I'm Looking Through You" - in the U.S., it took years until I was aware of a false start on the stereo mix on Crap-It-All. It was great to hear it after I'd read about it, and thankfully the 2004 box set of the Capitol albums LEFT the false start in it 😆😆😆. Now, it was great enough to become aware of it and have a copy, but it would have been wild to discover it myself - "hang on, what's this?"
The Beatles work load during the sixties is a incredible mix of a pop/children's music phenomenon that might be fading and four true artists moving forward and growing in strength with every new release. An amazing group of young men. Thank you gentlemen for the great information.
I really hated "The Word" when I first heard it, it was that jaunty piano thing at the beginning that threatened to ruin it, but it grew on me. I love the sound of the final verse, the words and overall sound of it "now that I know what I feel must be right, I'm here to show EVERYBODY the light" - John really got passionate with it.
Thanks you guys very detailed and informative. I like rubber soul I had it on vinyl; it’s in my top 6 Beatles albums- I like Michelle; and also think for yourself. There are 5 albums better in my opinion….
23:15 .. I was hoping for a woman that gave me like a man intellectually. That's not about Paul only, not even about men. John was a reader, so was his aunt Mimi, and in his youth (maybe later on too), John and Mimi discussed a lot the books they read.
McCartney wrote Wait on his own and vo wrote The Word with john. Plus McCartney wrote the russian sounding counter melody to johns Girl. These guys need to get there facts RIGHT!!!!!
I have to agree with you guys and Capitol about the HELP cover. The UK version looked really bland and boring. I think it was their only bad-looking cover.
What Capitol Records did with Beatles albums, including their "file under Pop/Vocal Group" bullshit shows an ignorance of just what they had in their hands that is comparable to RCA Victor Records treatment of Elvis Presley's 1970s recordings, (the endless "live" albums with a couple of throw away studio tracks).
Rubber Soul reflects Macca wanting to get the bass and drums to sound like Motown records. Eight Feet Away = Eight Arms to Hold You.
This album would benefit even more (than Revolver) from a Giles remix
Great podcast as always. Thank you

I would call it their first psychedelic song.

And he co wrote the Word with john
😊
38:00 eight feet away. Four Beatles, eight feet. Just a guess.🙄
Yes, indeed, it's obvious. C'mon guys!
The UK cover - striking and quintessentially Beatles.
The Word - have never loved it
Uk cover to Help, that is
