Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey .
If you could only listen to side A or B of every Beatles album (side A/C or B/D for The BEATLES), what would you choose?

For me,
sides beat 
sides fairly consistently in the discography – twice in the case of the white lp. Plus, all of the soundtrack songs were on the A. So, while I’d miss things like the AR medley and TNK, all A sides (plus one C) is the way I’d go.
Traditional Parlophone label or rainbow-swirly Capitol label?
Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Rainbow swirly Capitol! 
I wish the guys at Parlophone and pretty much all of the UK EMI labels of the time were just as funky with their designs, especially when things got psychedelic… 
Dark Horse or Gone Troppo album cover artwork?

Offline “Beatles For Sale ” would be my pick, as it’s cover image is more standout and original comparative to “Please Please Me “, or any of it’s 1964 counterparts as well. Something about that distant look along with the fuzzy filter is pretty hipster-like, in a good way.
‘My Lungs are Breaking’: “Helter Skelter ” or “Got To Get You Into My Life “

Offline Helter Skelter . It’s a perfect storm.
“The Beatles meet an iconic musician” – Elvis or Bob Dylan?
(Not comparing the musicians, but rather the stories of them meeting The Beatles)
I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

Offline Dylan. Regardless of what you think of marijuana, that meeting lead to a great direction in their music…
John & Yoko or George on Dick Cavett?

Have to agree with you on Dylan 🙂
Also, I’d have to go with George (yOkO sAT iN tHaT VeRy cHaiR)
Flaming Pie (

Offline They’re both good but I’d have to go with Ram as it’s more of a solid listen-through for me, and also I have a deep fondness for the kitchen-music tradition of the early 70’s which Paul and Linda were so very entrenched in.
Thick, luscious 3-part vocal harmonies: Because or This Boy ?

Would you consider Helter Skelter to be more metal or punk?

Offline Good question. “Helter Skelter ” predates both genres by a coupla years, so it’s a matter of opinion. I think it more sonically resembles metal, if only because the tempo is like slow Sabbath sludge, whereas your classic punk tempos tend to be on the higher end of the scale. (There are exceptions of course…) I find “Helter Skelter ” more metal than punk. (And less punk than Star Club 1962, for that matter…)
Decca Coasters covers: “Searchin'” or “Three Cool Cats”?
Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Offline Three Cool Cats. It’s cornier than Searchin’ but I like it for that reason, plus John’s ‘Save wan cheeck for mee’ always cracks me up.
In the same vein: Crying, Waiting, Hoping or Take Good Care Of My Baby?

Offline Crying, Waiting, Hoping because George. George’s BBC vocals are otherworldly (so are John’s, of course, but GEORGEEEEEEEEEEE).
George’s early BBC vocals or John’s?

Offline If I had to pick, my choosing would be John. I always thought that George’s vocal performance didn’t started out great, but improved greatly over time. And John, despite his nitpicking on his own vocals, has quite the voice even all those years ago.
If you have to (painfully) omit one song from the White Album : “Savoy Truffle ” or “Long, Long, Long “

‘You Can’t Catch Me ‘. John’s version is fantastic and totally over the top.
John concerts: One to One or Live Peace In Toronto ?

Offline Interesting, my guess would be that he used a Tele (w/ Leslie) on the single version and a Les Paul on the album version but i’d love to know why you think he’s using the 12-string.
Anyways, Rory Storm.
Best psychedelic refinish, Ricky or Rocky.
