FOREWORD

One thing I am always proud of is how The Beatles’ songs were so different from each other. Some other artists found a formula and repeated it. When asked what our formula was, John and I said that if we ever found one we would get rid of it immediately.

In 1966 we were becoming used to recording and loved being in the studio. Our stimulated imaginations were coming up with new styles in the same way that the whole generation was changing, experimenting and blossoming into something new. George (and the rest of us) had recently found out the realities of the British tax system and we were not pleased to see our hard-earned money disappearing, so he came up with ‘Taxman’, which encapsulated the feelings of many people.

I was experimenting with strings on ‘Eleanor Rigby’ with the help of the inimitable talent of George Martin. John had come up with ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ (another of Ringo’s unconscious wordplays) and we recorded it incorporating tape loops, which I had been experimenting with at that time. The track, like the others, was unlike anything we had done before. And what about that vocal and drum sound!

With this album we came up with not only a batch of innovative songs but songs that would stand the test of time. ‘I’m Only Sleeping’, ‘She Said She Said’, ‘And Your Bird Can Sing’ and ‘Dr Robert’ were songs stamped with the identity of the days we were living through and this vibrancy was in the air around us. ‘Love You To’ and ‘I Want To Tell You’ mark George’s steady advance in songwriting which would later lead to some of his great classics. ‘Here, There And Everywhere’, ‘For No One’ and ‘Got To Get You Into My Life’ seemed to appear effortlessly out of thin air and land on The Beatles’ desk to be recorded by us and our incredible team of helpers. At this time the sun seemed to be shining every day so ‘Good Day Sunshine’ summed up our feelings and those of a whole generation.

And then, one twilight evening, lying in bed before dozing off, I came up with a song that I thought would suit Ringo and at the same time incorporate the heady vibes of the time. ‘Yellow Submarine’ – a children’s song with a touch of Stoner influence, which Ringo still wows audiences with to this day.

All in all, not a bad album.

Paul McCartney
