It's been attributed to a radio comedy show in 1981. To be clear I always thought John meant it as a joke and didn't expect his remark to be taken seriously. But I made a mistake in public and I'm always happy to own up when I'm wrong.

      I was 11 in 1964 when we first heard the Beatles in the US. I remember there being a debate amongst the kids about who was the better drummer Ringo or Dave Clark of the Dave Clark Five. Some people preferred Dave because you could always hear him. For some reason on most songs you could not really hear Ringo but you certainly could on this song. Love it.
      BTW I do also love the the Dave Clark Five. I'd love for you to react too their hit "Because". You'll cry. 😉

    That little odd bit on the end, was put on the inner liner of the turntable record. Back then, the needle would get to the inner liner and just play forever unless the needle was manually picked up.

But unless the listener got and checked, it would just play that bit on an endless loop infinitely.

    The long piano chord fade is achieved by raising the faders on the mixing board as the chord naturally decays. It is followed by a few seconds of silence that actually contains a dog whistle, Lastly that final repeating blast of reversed voices was designed to play in a vinyl records play out groove. Over and over again till the record was manually stopped by the listener. Most Beatles fans would agree that you've reached the pinnacle of the Beatles recording career with A Day In The Life. All the songs you react to from here on out will be judged against this song. Their are other mega-classics like, In My Life , Yesterday and Something. But this is the Beatles and the EMI recording staff's finest hour. Remember Hari, this was recorded and mixed on a 4 track tape machine!!! Astonishing. RNB

    Everyone thinks it’s John singing the “ahs” after Paul’s “...went into a dream” line at the end of the bridge, but thanks to access to the isolated vocals becoming available due to Beatles Rock Band, it’s now rather obvious that it’s actually Paul singing it. When you listen to the vocal track you can hear his sharp intake of breath between the word “dream” and the first “ah”.

    I think this and "Strawberry Fields" are my two favorite Beatles songs. Glad you mentioned Ringo on this. He doesn't get enough credit. Some of the most unique and innovative drumming you'll ever hear that adds so much to the whimsical yet haunting nature of the song. And yeah, you always gotta let those Beatles songs playout. You never know what Easter eggs they have burred at the end. Another great reaction Harri!!

    Paul had fragments (woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head) which they used in the middle. I remember when I got this album. I took a bus 45 minutes each way, came home, the album was warped. Took the bus back, exchanged it, came home. Played it. I think I just stared into space. I probably played it 20 times before I stopped myself. The lyrics were on the back. I had never seen that before. This was all the rage.

On the Revolver album. What is incredible to get your mind around is that the Beatles evolved from She Loves You (yeah, yeah, yeah) to A Day in the Life in just over 3 years. That is just indescribably .... indescribable.

When I was a small child, maybe from 5 to 7 years old, the crescendos would just pull me into another world, and I would actually get dizzy and disoriented . . . A Day in The Life may well be the greatest "rock" song yet written and produced . . . it is astounding, and still gives me goosebumps, 50 years after hearing it for the first time. Magical!

    Good to hear Ringo’s drumming praised - it is superb in this song, which is worth listening to just to focus on the drums. I remember hearing the Sergeant Pepper’s album for the first time when I was 16. The local radio station played it the moment it was first available - we were counting down the minutes - all the way through with no commercials! - Honestly!. I was listening to it in a Triumph 3 with two friends. Yes we were cramped, but the music was sheer ecstasy, beyond anything we had heard before. This was the first album to have a theme and it was a complete departure from anything the Beatles had done before. We loved it instantly. It is hard to express the incredible impact this album had.
