  1. As far as Mc Cartney’s comment about The Supremes first several hits sounding similar, he fails to remember that the first 8 singles from the Beatles all sound the sound and were rather sophmoric for 23 year old males to be singing.

    The Supremes were second to The Beatles…quite a feat for three black girls who did not write, orchestrate or arrange their own music.

    1. The Beatles were still in their Merseybeat phase for those first eight singles and “I Feel Fine” was the earliest indication, to my knowledge, of their sonic experimentation when John employed intentional guitar feedback using his Gibson J-160E acoustic guitar in its electric mode.
      Paul was absolutely right to say that all The Beatles’ 45’s had to sound differently over their career and employ varied instrumentation, otherwise, it would’ve been boring after a time.
      The Beatles were absolutely right to change and update their sound and musical direction with the times and in my opinion, that was one reason why their records and career were so interesting.

  2. I just recently noticed that the piano in the song Rock and Roll Music completely drops out around the 1:44 mark and comes back in about 10 seconds later. I’d be interested to know what happened there and why they would’ve kept that
