Ringo's strength was his ability to " play to the song." His drumming was structured to enhance the entire experience of the piece. He didnt need to" show off".

Beatles produced ART! On Vinyl! This was truly an art piece. The Beatles spent 55 hours producing this song! Layer upon layers of music and sound. You will hear different elements to it, the more you listen to it. Your brain cannot really hear it all just one time. So many Beatles songs are like that. They would just keep perfecting it until it was more than a song…it was musical ART! Beatles fans love this about them. You can choose what to focus on each time you listen and have a different experience, sometimes.

John singing, a very ominous and fatalistic vibe. It summarized the spirit of the age. At the very end many people insisted he was saying "I buried Paul" and that started the "Paul is dead" cult.

I think it was a Mellotron intro. First time I ever thought about it, but I too thought as much. And yes, John sang it, and probably wrote it. This was smack dab in the middle of psychedelic music era, and one of the prime examples. When the music came back in at the end, it was trippy. And backward, I think. Very satisfying. In NYC across from The Dakota, where the Lennons lived, in Central Park, there is a section called "Strawberry Fields" where there always seems to be people playing music. I once heard someone explain their greatness this way: It was both surface and deep. You can love it immediately, but repeated listenings will also bear fruit. And so people re-listen even through today.

It was off-putting but we all could sing along 2nd time you heard it. The B Side of the single is Penny Lane, pure McCartney whereas Strawberry Fields Forever is pure Lennon ( to most listeners). Both songs referenced locations in Liverpool which had impacted John + Paul. You mentioned a Progressive edge in Strawberry Fields + I'd recommend the song I Want You (She's So Heavy) off Abbey Road. It's their longest cut and unique is an understatement. I'll have to check your playlists.

The Beatles did a "promotional film" for each album, some consider it the first ideas for music videos which came along around 1980. MTV started in 1981. This song has an artistic colorful trippy 60s theme film for it, but there still were no actual music videos for another 12-13 years.

That was definitely a Mellotron - an earlier version of the device Mike Pinder of the Moody Blues developed by removing the rhythm tapes and substituting stringed instruments, which is why it might sound a bit primitive compared to the Mellotron on Days Of Future Passed. Fun fact: Manfred Mann were the first band to feature a Mellotron on a UK top 10 record, Semi-Detached Suburban Mr James in the autumn of 1966.

It's hard to realize now how radical some of their music was, their influence affected multiple generations of music makers. This song had a long genesis, there's a bootleg album filled with different takes of it. The finished track was formed by splicing 2 different versions, one was a rock (heavy) version and the other more orchestral. Since they were in different times one had to be slowed up and the other slowed down.

You must remember that the Beatles developed much of the musical technique the following generations used. There was no auto tune or digital enhancements. There was mixing and looping but it was all analogue. Every sound you hear is organic and actually occurred audibly in the studio. Music of the past 10 years, much of it, is computer created. The Beatles were an actual band. Listen to early recordings and then watch their live performances of the same songs. Live was 98% or more the same as the recording. Even live performances today are processed between the microphone and the speakers. Like the song said. Nothing is real. At least 50% is fake. Put Bruno Mars on a stage singing along with with just a guitar and you will see much of his music is artificial.

Ringo is the best! "Cranberry Sauce" was "I buried Paul". That line started the "Paul is dead" controversy. For a while some were saying Paul McCartney was a body double. The Beatles started the "Lyric analysis" that so many reactors do today. Back then, we tried to figure out the meanings of Beatles songs. Before the 1967 Beatles, lyrics were pretty much straight forward. Folk songs could need "interpretaion" but everything else was straight.

The old mixes have a lot of bad stereo panning. 5 of the albums have Super Deluxe versions with new mixes that are more modern sounding, and some of the singles have had remixes on compilations in the past few years. Red And Blue albums had some new remixes in 2023 for select tracks from Magical Mystery Tour and Rubber Soul, as well as some old tracks.

That was true of most of their albums, bouncing down was a process that was crucial to the development of their increasingly complex arrangements. A lot of elements had to be mixed and balanced as they went along, to built up a song's multi-track recording and to keep freeing up empty tracks to add further overdubs. Their first two albums were only recorded on two-track machines. By 1963 EMI had four-track tape machines, and the single 'I want to hold your hand' was the first time The Beatles used it. 4-track remained the standard right through until their final album, 'Abbey Road' which utilised 8-track tape machines.
