Glad you did a reaction to this phenomenal album. Just know, that most all The Beatles albums (like basically all albums of the time to a point) were recorded in mono, with stereo versions coming later. So you can always listen to these albums in mono if the version you have causes issues do to the stereo transfer (or a questionable upload). Thank you.

The didgeridoo is an Australian instrument of the Aborigine peoples. "Love You To" has Anil Bhagwat playing the tabla, a type of hand drum, and musicians from the Asian Music Circle on the sitar and tambura. Harrison plays some sitar as well, but this was early on in his time on the instrument.

Brian McCall

On "For No One", Paul plays a clavichord. Nick, I think you were thinking of a clavinet, not a clarinet which is a woodwind instrument.

Nick, Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" was first released in 1954 when I was 7 years old. My mother took me to see it in the theaters and I did not find it scary at all. Believe me I did find other movies scary, but that one did not bother me. Kids today are so used to seeing scary things on TV and some movies than what was available to us children in the '50s. The old Godzilla movies with the man walking around in a rubber Godzilla suit, crushing a miniature Japanese city beneath his feet scared me to death. As I got older it was so obviously fake looking, I wondered WHY I was so scared of those Godzilla movies! LOL NOW with CGI so many movies look like they would scare kids to death since they look SO REAL, often you can't tell which effects are CGI and which are the real thing. I guess it's all comes down to what you were exposed to as a child.

Patti Crichton

NICK and LEXI, yes that is PAUL singing LEAD on "GOOD DAY SUNSHINE" towards the end of the song when he sings "Good Day Sunshine" several times in a row, you can hear JOHN singing the lower part UNDER Paul. THERE you can hear the difference in their voices. BUT AGAIN, Paul's voice is very versatile, it's NOT always high and sweet, he can sing lower, he can have a raspy, gravely, screamy voice. It all depends on the song he is singing. Paul is a man of MANY VOICES. LISTEN to Paul sing on "OH DARLING" or "HELTER SKELTER," "LADY MADONNA," "BACK IN THE USSR," "BIRTHDAY," "LONG TALL SALLY," "I've GOT A FEELING" no sweet high voice on these songs, and then he can turn around and do "HERE, THERE, and EVERYWHERE," "FOR NO ONE," "AND I LOVE HER," "I WILL" and so on, his sweeter, mellow voice. There are SO many more like this. IF you REALLY WANT TO HEAR how FAR PAUL can PUSH HIS VOICE to the ROUGHEST, GRITTIEST, DIRTIEST sound, check out "MONKBERRY MOON DELIGHT" from his SECOND SOLO album called "RAM"! A lot of reactors have reacted to it and they absolutely LOVE it, it's a very quirky song, but EVERYONE LOVES what his voice is doing on this song LOL! ( I know you will probably NEVER come back here to even see these newer comments, but I decided to write all this, JUST in CASE you check back

Patti Crichton

LOL NICK, are you giving off SIMON COWELL vibes at the end of listening to REVOLVER? Some songs you do have to listen to more than once and they grow on you. At 19 when Revolver was released in 1966, I thought "TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS was really weird and a little creepy. We had NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE, this was 1966! But the more I listened to all the sounds (tape loops, the seagull sounds are actually Paul's laugh sped up), the more I was fascinated by it, and then I started to love it, and still do. I LOVE Ringo's drums in it. This one is very very experimental and NO ONE was doing anything LIKE that at the time. OH and I WAS listening to the radio back then, and when RUBBER SOUL was released, the radio stations here started playing ALL the cuts on the radio (but NOT at the same time ) through out the day and evening, and did so with every BEATLES' album after Rubber Soul. The FIRST BEATLES' Album that one of our radio stations here in Cleveland, Ohio PLAYED in it's ENTIRETY ALL AT ONCE, was in 1967 when their "SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND" album was released! I don't know what might have been done in other radios stations across the country, but that was a FIRST in Cleveland.

NicknLex

Simon Cowell ? Isn't he the guy from that reality tv show were everything is staged and he is the villain that dislikes everything? No. I am just being honest and I think having a channel like this needs honesty. Being a musician and being dishonest just because I just heard the Beatles play would be fake. If I didn't like it I'll say. Maybe I would like it more on my 3-4 listen. It took me years to like jazz. Now it's my favorite genre of music. Most reactors like everything and that's just impossible. People ask us is there anything you don't like ? And when we do stumble across something we don't enjoy as much we get the same question. Why didn't you like my music? I am sure I will fall in love with the Beatles but I need to hear more. Bless you Patti 😊

Edmond Cox

And that’s a French Horn not a trumpet.

Connie Baldwin

I know its been awhile but the person singing at the beginning of yellow submarine is Ringo.. it took me a minute to figure out that it was his voice. I googled it and it said Ringo.. love all of the Beatles.. Each unique on their own. They left us too soon but left behind a vast catalogue of music that was part of the fabric of my youth.. born in 1959, running around with my Beatles haircut (I am a girl) with home movies showing my beatles guitar I got at Christmas singing "She Loves You (yeah, yeah, yeah)..

Phillip Bates

The Beatles are often overlooked for their incredible backing vocals and harmonies. All four of them sing really well, but John and Paul's voices blend together so nicely and Paul is so good at nailing those harmonies. And yes, the production on this was groundbreaking in so many ways. George Martin was such a great producer, but the guys were always heavily involved. You should watch "Get Back" on Disney+, which is the 9-hour documentary on the making of the album Let It Be and it is fantastic. The way that they worked together was very laid back watching them write these masterpieces was so eye-opening. Amazing band and album. "Here, There and Everywhere" was written by Paul and credited to Lennon/McCartney and John said that it's one of the best Beatles songs. "Got to Get You into My Life" is Paul at his best, adding in horns or strings... taking the song to new places. John would do that, too, but in a different way. And yes, every band has good and bad(ish) songs, but I think The Beatles had less bad songs than others because they all wrote songs and wrote them well. And sorry Nick, but Steely Dan has weaker/badish songs like everyone else. I love them, they are brilliant, but nobody is perfect. Everyone will write songs that resonate less with listeners, it's human nature. But also, it's a matter of taste and mood. I prefer McCartney's songs best, but sometimes I like John's better.

Taxman (George) was written because of the very high taxes on the Beatles' royalties started really hitting them as they became more successful, which is why many British bands would record their albums in other countries to avoid the British taxes. The sound disorientation is due to the fact it was initially recorded in mono, so when the record companies released these albums in stereo they had to deal with split vocal tracks from instrumental tracks. Eleanor Rigby (Paul) is simply a masterpiece, and although they had used strings in Yesterday, this really was their first use of a small chamber group of strings. Such a mature song,and showed that The Beatles were not just 4 silly "moptops" who sang fun little pop love songs. My Mom has always loved the song because it mentions an Irish priest, Father McKenzie, lol, even though its such a sad song. Love You To is George's first real foray into the Indian music he was getting into after meeting Ravi Shankar. Its a stellar preview to what would come on Sgt Pepper with Within You Without You as you now know. George added such a peaceful, spiritual and philosophical dimension to the Beatles. The Quiet One. Not a stand up bass in I'm Only Sleeping (John), that's how good a bass player McCartney was. Here, There, Everywhere (Paul) is a classic McCartney love song, one of his best. She Said She Said is clearly John Lennon with his rougher voice, more cutting edge. Paul was more melodic, a bit less harder edged, a voice more suited for pop. Their voices blend well together, but they do sound very distinct if you listen closely. Good Day Sunshine is a prototypical Paul song, upbeat, poppy and very melodic. Although sadder, For No One is another melodic gem from Paul with the added horn touch. In terms of guitar playing, George Harrison set the template for future guitar rock. No, not there to dazzle with pyrotechnics, its guitar playing to serve the melody. So while George was not a Jeff Beck or Jimmy Page etc, more guitarists in pop and rock followed George's template of guitar playing than the more indulgent showoff dazzlers. You have to put yourself back in 1966 to appreciate how creative and great George was on guitar compared to all the other guitarists. Simpler can be more powerful. Another McCartney gem with Got to Get You into My Life, again obviously melodic with the horns, a great tune. Hopefully by the end you would recognize that Tomorrow Never Knows was John's psychedelic masterpiece. It portends what they would soon do with Strawberry Fields Forever, I Am the Walrus and the Sgt Pepper album. A lot of backwards tape and audio effects. Pushing the boundaries. You've got to place yourself back in 1966 to appreciate how forward thinking and revolutionary songs like Love You To, Eleanor Rigby, She Said She Said and Tomorrow Never Knows were. Those songs weren't being made by other bands for the most part back then. Where you're wrong on the "Filler" argument is equating songs YOU didn't like or weren't big hits with "bad songs" called FILLER. Obviously even the Beatles didn't make a smash hit of EVERY song, that would be ludicrous. But to call songs that you didn't like as much as others "filler" as if they decided just to write and compose a few "crap songs" on purpose just to "FILL out the album" is absolutely incorrect and false. That's what "filler" means. So yes, it is insulting to call songs you personally didn't enjoy as much by The Beatles as FILLER. One person's piece of crap is another person's gem. The Beatles didn't waste time creating "Filler". LPs were short enough as it was, 40>45 min, that they had to LEAVE OFF SONGS from the original albums. Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane were not on an album, they were released as a single! So no, you won't find any "filler" on a Beatles album. You might find songs you don't like as much. That's not filler. That's just your subjective taste. You've also been jaded by hearing all the music which came after The Beatles. That's not your fault, but hearing all that taints your view of what came before. A nice journey you've started with The Beatles!

KevB(rewski)

Never heard that one. Are you sure you're not thinking of Let it Be? Lol "Mother mary come to me"

Pip Malherbe

And he plays joint lead with George on And Your Bird Can Sing

Michael Collins

If you watch videos of people covering George Harrison’s guitar solos, you’ll see how complicated some of the finger movements really are.

Ron Swirson

Loved the reaction but a few corrections are in order. It was Ringo who sings on Yellow Submarine, I believe he wrote it as well. Also, Eddie Van Halen was NOT the first rock guitarist to play or record finger tapping. Steve Hackett with Genesis in 1973 on a song called Return of the Giant Hogweed recorded it first. Now to be clear finger tapping was known to exist before there was recorded music and there is a video of an Italian guitarist doing a form of it in 1965 and there are differing opinions on who invented it and when. But there is little argument that the first recording (recording is the key word here) of finger tapping in rock was by Steve Hackett. Eddie Van Halen admits it, he said he just added flash and his own personality to it in live performances, etc. As an early Genesis fan, this misconception always gets to me, but all I can do is correct people and hope they correct others as well. I love the 2 of you you know this so keep up the great work and keep loving each other!!!

Debra Brabenec

FYI, Paul wrote Yellow Submarine. I think Ringo's only songs were "Octopus's Garden" and "Don't Pass Me By."

Debra Brabenec

Wow! Great reaction! Revolver has so much more diversity of styles than their previous albums, it's no wonder your heads are spinning! This reaction has made me acutely aware of how different it is for you to hear a whole Beatles album for the first time. Most of us didn't have stereos or headphones- we just plunked the record on our hi-fi record players and listened to the whole thing! I was 10 when this came out and I thought it was great! The (American) Capital record wasn't as long- "I'm Only Sleeping", "And Your Bird Can Sing", and "Doctor Robert" were left off and later released on Capital's The Beatles Yesterday and Today album. Now some notes: The double string quartet arrangement on "Eleanor Rigby" was by their producer George Martin. He was a classically trained musician. As far as I know, it was the first (and maybe only?) song of theirs to not have any Beatles playing instruments on it. "Love You To" has Indian musicians on tabla (Indian hand drums), tamboura and sitar. George plays all guitars, sitar, lead and backing vocals, Paul does backing vocals and Ringo plays tambourine. There is no didgeridoo- that is an Australian instrument. "Here, There and Everywhere" was reportedly John's favorite song of Paul's. ❤️❤️ "Yellow Submarine" was written by John and Paul, but sung by Ringo. The song inspired the guys who created the U.S. Beatles cartoon series to make the animated Yellow Submarine movie. The lyrics for John's song "She Said She Said" were inspired by actor Peter Fonda's comments during an LSD trip in August 1965 with members of the Beatles and the Byrds. 🤪 "For No One" has Paul on vocals, bass, piano and clavichord, Ringo on drums and percussion and Alan Civil on French Horn. I'm not sure which song Nick thought Paul was playing an acoustic string bass on, but that is the sound of his iconic Rickenbacker bass- it can sound thumpy sometimes. I don't remember the Beatles using horns before "Good Day Sunshine," but I may be wrong there. "Tomorrow Never Knows" has landed high on lists of best '60s and best Beatles songs. I urge you to read the Wikipedia entry about it- it is really fascinating! Sorry this post is so long, but this has been an important album in my life for over 50 years! I even loved looking at the cover while I listened as a girl- it was so cool! 🎵❤️🎵

Ron Swirson

Yes I stand corrected John & Paul wrote it as a children's song. Much appreciated

Lee Haskin

Great video as always. This album was always one of my favorites of the Beatles, but I always listened to the American version. As mentioned already, some of these tracks were from Yesterday and Today which happens to not be one of my favorites! And those tracks in particular I never found to be that exciting. I think it's important to put in perspective that at that time, not only did songs have to be short but they had to be catchy. So musicianship was not a focus and did not have to be top notch. In fact I have often read and seen interviews discussing the fact that on several songs, Paul had to re-play Ringo's drum tracks because they were not in time, and also that Lennon was not a great guitar player. McCartney, however, was apparently a master of many different instruments. If you explore further, starting with Sgt. Pepper, you will notice the songs will be much longer (in general), much more instrumentation and creativity is present, and much more exploration into sounds and ideas (and psychedelia) can be heard. Some of it is downright bizarre, but having grown up with it, it's something I personally love and am used to. For me, my favorite track on this album is Tomorrow Never Knows, but again, I'm attracted to things that are weird and different! There are a couple of interesting covers of this track, by Phil Collins and Our Lady Peace (probably others) but none as good as the original. I am definitely aware of who is singing, and I think as you explore further you'll be able to tell as well. Although I love this band I do not like all of their songs. Just a personal opinion but there are several to me that are just plain boring and I never listen to them. My favorite albums are Beatles 65 (likely because it holds a lot of cool memories), Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road, and of course, the White Album. Thanks for another wonderful album reaction!!

Richard Dobson

Hi Guys, I'm so pleased we got to do 'Revolver'. I am a 'Beatlemaniac', a fan from 'Love Me Do', their first single in 1962 (I was 9 years old) so there would have been a time when Nick's comments about fillers would have had me throwing things at my computer screen!! Thankfully I am more mature now (I think that happened about 5 years ago) and of course every band produces work of varying quality. I'll just whisper my opinion that a couple of the tracks on 'Katy Lied' are a touch disappointing. I now understand that someone hearing music that is 56 years old for the first time is going to have opinions that are different to me, someone who heard it in 1966 and has listened to it, and loved it, ever since. That being said, there is much of your commentary that I agree with guys. 'Got To Get You Into My Life' is right up there with my favourite Beatles songs of all time, and every time I play it, I hate that it ends when it does. The horns are great, the short guitar break just before the end is delicious, Paul goes into his R'nB wail...and then it fades out! Incidentally, The Beatles never released it as a single, but allowed 'Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers' (a British R'nB band) to record it, and it was a hit!

Richard Dobson

I pressed the send button by mistake! I have so much more to say (you should never have done a Beatles reaction lol) In the sixties' the record companies did control most of the artists' output, but by 1966 the Beatles had already assumed total control of what they wanted to do, when and how it was to be recorded. The only limitations on them was their contract with EMI, at least one album a year, and the amount of space on one side of a vinyl LP, given that they had so many ideas and songs they wanted to record. They were the pioneers of rock music, the trailblazers, and after 'Revolver' they realised that the days of the 3 minute song were numbered. See 1967's 'Sgt. Pepper' for proof of that. 'Tomorrow Never Knows' caused the whole world of 'pop' music to stop and think again. To your ears it sounds unusual at most, to us in 1966 it was something that had never been done before. This was the track that allowed Pink Floyd to experiment with sound effects and tape loops the following year. Yes covered a Beatles song 'Every Little Thing' (from the 1964 album 'Beatles For Sale') on their debut album in 1969. The Rolling Stones first big hit was 'I Wanna Be Your Man', written be Lennon/McCartney. This is why they are the Godfathers. They created the environment for people to come through and do their thing, but they did it first before everyone else. Sorry for the lecture NicknLex, but I'm so pleased you listened and were honest; I wouldn't have expected anything less.

Luke D

I know George wrote (and sang) on Taxman. He also, wrote Love You To and I Want To Tell You. Paul wrote Eleanor Rigby, Good Day Sunshine and Here, There and Everywhere, For No One and Got to Get You Into My Life. John wrote I'm Only Sleeping, And Your Bird Can Sing and Doctor Robert. I believe the rest was all Lennon/McCartney except She said, She said, which was Lennon/Harrison. That's Ringo singing Yellow Submarine.

Luke D

And you're correct (last song), Tomorrow Never Knows is 100% Lennon :) ...Drugged up hippie, Ha! Good reaction and great comments. Like Richard commented, I'm also a big Beatles fan even though they were a bit before my time, but not every song. Revolver is a favorite, definitely Top 4. Lee is correct with his comments too. The record label pushed them to be a certain way, which was why they eventually started Apple and did what they wanted to do.

Debra Brabenec

Love Beatles '65 too! Just listened to it in the last week!

JK

I think you heard mono but we heard stereo. Sounded great to me. The stereo separation could be extreme on those early recordings, especially when they said “Recorded in Stereo.” That was new technology, believe it or not. The newest Beatle album is actually “Love,” which are new versions of classic Beatles songs in medley form put together by Paul and Ringo, for the Cirque du Soliel show in Las Vegas. A wonderful reinterpretation!

Michele

Yes , JK, Love is a special reworking and combining of tracks by George Martin’s son. I sent NicknLex the “Love” soundtrack CD. The Cirque show itself is marvelous too - an experience. But we’re biased, being part of the Cirque family. Great reaction. Thanks all. ✨🤪 (edit for typos 🫠)

JK

I actually prefer to listen to “Love” over a few of their regular albums. No “filler,” as Nick might say!

Murdock Moriarty

Love this album and your reaction! Sweet comments between you two. Never knew Lexia worked in criminal justice. BTW 'Black Hole' also scared me as a kid. The robot was called Maximilian. "Yellow Sumbarine" is the anthem of my hometown football-club 1st FC Vienna 😄

Dontbe Long

Great reaction! A bit of trivia for you, Paul McCartney plays the Eastern sounding guitar solo on Taxman...

DCMPhotog

If you like the horns in "Got to Get You Into My Life", you should check out the Earth, Wind, and Fire cover. It's amazing and longer. The album "Yellow Submarine" was a soundtrack album from the animated film based on the song "Yellow Submarine". It included a couple of new Beatles songs, but also orchestral pieces that were background music in the movie.

Alden21

Loved it, you guys were great as usual. Thanks.

Andres Cisternas

Great reaction! and great album, my favorite tomorrow never knows!!!

Pete Miller

Eleanor Rigby...Paul's vocals and a double string quartet. Just amazing! Also, Ringo sings lead on Yellow Submarine, not Paul. Get You Into My Life gets the least amount of listens.. over Dr Robert? Yikes. Spotify's broken! LOL It's one of their best known songs and one of the best on the album.

Pete Miller

The easiest way to distinguish between Paul and John is to listen to their solo stuff, or songs where only one sings, which is rare...like Paul singing here on For No One, or Yesterday. For me, Paul's vocals to me are more "buttery" and rounded than Lennon's, which to my ear sounds more nasal and biting.

Mark Grasnick

Hearing this album on the radio as a 14 year old, the DJ’s would be promoting it’s release for weeks, it sounded so eccentric. New guitar sounds, tone and backward loops, it all was so modern. Remember we had never heard anything like this before and it still has a great feel now, if you haven’t heard it for a few years. I have just read the sections relating to the recording of these songs from my copy of Mark Lewisohn’s book “The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions” which gives a great insight into how it all came together, a great read. Also a very entertaining reaction as always.

Dan L.

"...sounds like Grunge..." What was on the radio when some of the Grunge people were 4, 6, 8 years old?

Stephen Rich

Interesting to hear your views - when I purchased the album (as a 15yr old), it is to be placed in the context of what was on the radio or available at the time - effectively all songs were "pop" and 3min long - the Beatles did not include their "singles" on albums; it was mind-blowing and mind-opening at the time, particularly in context with others .. and you have experience of over 50 years after this release. A major part is the transition of any band - when you start from 1962 to 1970, and the change with time. Compared to individual tastes, I would expect there will be people who find fault with the Dan (whom I love as well). BTW, I go back to Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead " we're like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice REALLY like licorice"

ID McBeath

Yellow Submarine became an Animated Movie in 1968 that was somewhat inspired by the song. It is a fun fantasy romp full of some light and funny Beatles songs. The Album is the Soundtrack of the Movie...........On Revolver, George Harrison wrote and sang 3 of the songs. Lennon and McCartney 5 each. Ringo sang Yellow Submarine and he usually sang one on each album. Once you hear enough of the Beatles harmonies, you will start to note that George is often the harmony glue that made them sound so awesome.

Steven Pedersen

I'm not sure if somebody already mentioned it, but Got to Get You Into My Life is Paul's ode to marijuana.

Mark A Haus

To me original's always sound the best. I don't particularly like remasters. It's better the way it was originally done.

ProgRockFan

Well, once again, this version of Revolver was different than the one I grew up with, with added songs from a different album of theirs

Paul Davison

Nick it was actually John singing Here, There and Everywhere.

In Yer World

Earth Wind and Fire did a smoking cover of "Got To Get You Into My Life." Beatles took it to #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, EWF took it to #9 12-years later, in 1978, on the same chart, but took it to #1 on the Hot Soul Singles Chart!

Pete Perciasepe

Hi guys, the yellow submarine album is a soundtrack to the yellow submarine movie. It is animated and very psychedelic.

Alden21

No, Paul wrote it and sang it.

Alden21

You're right about She said, She said it was written by John and George, but for some reason it was credited to Lennon/McCartney. George didn't get the respect he deserved back then.

Arnie Porter

You really need to react to their previous album Rubber Soul which was George Harrison’s favourite album and to me represents their most collabrative effort and a creative peak. From what I know about your musical tastes I think you’ll prefer it Revolver

Tim Backster

Watched many of your posts on YT, and I decided to join here. I was hoping that you might look at doing an extended playlist for Elton John as you had shown such little knowledge of his work on YT (Nick). You could put these together as two separate lists or record them in a couple of sittings and them. post them altogether here. It is a list of what I consider some of his quintessential songs that show his diverse ability to write such great music! Ok here is the list: Ok. Off Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, react to: 1. 'Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy' and 2. 'Better Off Dead". From Blue Moves, react to 3 'Tonight', From Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player, react to: 4. 'Have Mercy On The Criminal and if you have time, "I'm Going To Be. A Teenage Idol", and lastly, From Caribou, react to 6. "Pinky" and a must: 7. "Ticking". I know this is a long list but it will be a marathon and Your listeners WILL love it. If it goes for an hour, put it on Patreon and I'll watch it there. You will be exposed to some of his greatest work and see the depth of his song writing. Yes I've missed some of his best work on the first two albums, but we'll come back to that. PLEASE remember that Bernie wrote ALL the lyrics to this lot and deserves a HUGE credit for some of the stellar lyrics, like in 'Better Off Dead'. Just poetry to be sure. Of course it goes without saying that you need to hear all of these albums, but you and Lexi can do that on your own time and at your own pleasure. I put "Pinky" in for the two of you for Sunday mornings. LOL. Perhaps you could always break it up into two posts...😇 Good luck with this lot and ENJOY!!!

Patti Crichton

Pete, Paul had MANY "voices' and had the widest vocal range of the Beatles, He didn't always sing in a "buttery" voice like on "Here, There and Everywhere," "Yesterday," and on 'For No One." Haven't you heard Paul's vocals on "HELTER SKELTER" from the "WHITE ALBUM," "OH DARLING," from "ABBEY ROAD," or "LADY MADONNA,"? "MAYBE I'M AMAZED," from his first solo album "McCARTNEY," "MONKBERRY MOON DELIGHT," from "RAM," and so many others where he can sing in a voice that is lower, grittier, raw, raspy and screaming, with the best of them. I can always tell when someone hasn't listened to ALL the Beatles music or Paul's solo albums, because they ALWAYS say he has the high, sweet voice, and John was grittier and raw. John could sound sweet too on some of his songs. But in the end Paul's voice was very versatile, fantastic range, and could sound like a different person depending on which song he was singing. Just play "HERE,THERE and EVERYWHERE" and "HELTER SKELTER," back to back and if it's not a fan listening to it, they will think that those songs were sung by different men.

Patti Crichton

Exactly!!! SO many rock stars/heavy metal groups that came after the Beatles broke up have SAID that they LOVED the Beatles and that they were a BIG influence on the music they would eventually play. The impact and influence the Beatles had on future rock musicians was enormous. OZZY OSBOURNE LOVES the Beatles, so does DAVE GROHL of the FOO FIGHTERS. He just joined PAUL McCARTNEY on stage for a couple of numbers during Paul's performance at Glastonbury this past June (2022) just after Paul turned 80 years old. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN also joined Paul on stage for 2 songs at that same concert. It was FANTASTIC.

Patti Crichton

As a "first generation Beatles' Fan," who was "just 17" in 1964 (turning 17 years old exactly one month AFTER we first SAW them on the "ED SULLIVAN SHOW" on Feb. 9, 1964) I AGREE with your statement.

Patti Crichton

WHAT?!!!! NO Paul Davison, it's PAUL singing it, and he wrote it about his girlfriend at the time, JANE ASHER.

Patti Crichton

I am not sure what you were hearing through your headphones on "TAXMAN," but the audio coming over my laptop sounded just fine and like it does on the record. George's voice was well balanced with the music. I have never been able to experience listening to music through headphones as I lost my hearing in my left ear in 1955 due to the measles. It's permanent and no aides or surgery will help. SO I just have one ear to listen with,, so headphones are no use to me. I can't even imagine what it must sound like through them, I wish I COULD. I LOVE the dissonant piano on "I WANT TO TELL YOU" and many Beatle fans like me (since I was 17 in 1964) ALSO like that dissonant piano. I was 19 years old when "REVOLVER" came out. It's funny that you think it's a little tiring to hear 14 songs in a 30 minute period. Back then, I could listen to their albums in a whole day, playing one after the other, no break at all. I can still do that now after listening to all those albums for the last 52 years (I am starting with 1970 the year they broke up, because by then, they had recorded all the albums they would do as a group) and their music NEVER gets "OLD" for me or tiring. They are the soundtrack of my life and got me through some very tough times. It is SO HARD to explain to someone who wasn't born when they were together, the impact they had on many of us personally and of course the impact they had on music, fashion, and culture. You HAD to BE THERE to FULLY understand it. I LOVE you both and THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this full album reaction. I hope you will react to MORE FULL BEATLES albums, as well as their SOLO albums. Stay safe and well, Nick and Lex! (Oh and that was a FRENCH HORN NOT a Trumpet on Paul's "FOR NO ONE" which was inspired by Paul's girlfriend/ fiance JANE ASHER. She was also the inspiration for "AND I LOVE HER," "HERE, THERE, and EVERYWHERE" (which is PAUL'S favorite song he did with the Beatles), "YOU WON'T SEE ME," and "I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU." Paul and Jane Asher were together for 5 years and were engaged before they broke up in 1968.

I've even heard one of the members of Steely Dan mention them. It would be hard to think of a group more different-sounding than SD who yet felt the Beatles' influence in their music.

This was their acid album while Rubber Soul was their weed album!

Hi , love this so much, thankyou. I grew up with The Beatles since I was literally a child. On "Yellow Submarine" it's Ringo singing. Their voices are so similar in The Beatles yet their solo albums their voices are so distinct. It's also the Liverpool accent and the fact they were together for so long in each others company...Like an Englishman moving to Australia ...within a year he will have an Australian accent. Their similar vocals made their harmonizing so brilliant....Nick mentioned practising their instruments. The Beatles went to Hamburg, Germany, before they were famous and would play live on stage for hours & hours till their fingers bled. They became so tight as a band. They did live on stage longer than any group in history as in terms of hours spent without a break, when in Hamburg. We are talking small venues but a regular act, .. then when they finally returned to Liverpool word had already spread about them and they performed at the Cavern with long queues of fans already there. It was at the Cavern that Brian Epstein saw them and became their manager. ... Ask me anything about The Beatles. I love them so much ! They are still today a massive part of my life. Jim X

Yellow Submarine (Sumbaree) is Ringo Starr singing, not Paul. Almost every Beatles album has one song where RIngo Sings one song.
