I have taken every track of I Am The Walrus and have made it true stereo all the way through. I will explain how later, but if anyone wants it, I’ll post a download link.I wish these tracks were still available!
Do you mean the Rock Band isolated tracks which is where it will be derived from or the remix?

A serviceable villain, as duteous to the vices of thy mistress as badness would desire!
I listened to the full stereo version here:
Such a big grin on my face now 😀

Just a heads up that a true complete stereo remix was made for the Anthology DVD and is fantastic. Can’t remember if what they did for the remasters, probably remains a stereo/mono concoction.

I was listening to this the other day……..Great track.
But it struck me as being very similar to the two note police siren John used in ‘I Am The Walrus ‘……He always said they copied him.
What do you think?

I’m not really sure if I consider Paul to be the walrus, even though we have that Glass Onion lyric. John saying he did it out of guilt influences my opinion.

I had a thought about the line “Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe.”
From Joe’s page on the song
According to Lennon’s childhood friend Pete Shotton, he {Lennon} was further inspired to turn the song into a nonsense tour-de-force after receiving a letter from Stephen Bayley, a pupil at his old primary school Quarry Bank. The letter revealed that a teacher was having his class analyse Beatles lyrics.
Lennon asked Shotton to remind him of a playground rhyme they’d known from childhood:
“Yellow matter custard, green slop pie, all mixed together with a dead dog’s eye. Slap it on a butty, ten foot thick. Then wash it all down with a cup of cold sick.”
This became “Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog’s eye”, followed by a stream of mostly meaningless nonsense. “Let the f*****s work that one out,” was his response to Shotton when he’d finished.
Maybe “kicking” Poe meant teachers, etc., were trying to over-analyze Poe’s works just like they were trying to over-analyze Beatles songs.

I’m wondering if the ascending/descending scale tones at the end of “I Am The Walrus ” were George Martin’s idea or John’s. I’ve read analyses about the music theory but nothing about whose idea it was. Sounds like something George Martin would think of given his formal training.

I don’t know but the chords elsewhere in I Am The Walrus are descending so I think (and this is speculation I have no idea) it was John’s idea.
