Part 3 of BEATLES ANOMALIES -- Update! (Dated 7-11-92)

I feel fine
+++++++++++

Opens with drumsticks being clicked, and John saying "It's not enough!", 
then a loud cough at 0:06 (Left ear) and the snares on the drumkit start
resonating at 0:12 to 0:14 to the sound of the guitars.

Daytripper
++++++++++

(Right channel)

MW> two extremely noticeable dropouts
  > happened during the master stage

The dropouts are actually at 1:50 and 1:55, in the 6th and 1st notes of the
guitar riff respectivley. This was to save re-recording the whole take for
the sake of two dud notes.

MW> Someone sings a Yeah that didnt belong

This is from John, at 2:32 who was not concentrating!!

Paperback writer
++++++++++++++++

(Right channel)

MW> 0:57 Sounds like a cough 

And a tambourine rattle!!

MW> 1:20 Somebody forgets to come in with the harmony

Not so much forgets as couldnt remember which note to sing, and hence :-

MW> 1:45 Clears throat and a couple of quiet tries ...

to make sure it doesnt happen again!!

Eleanor Rigby
+++++++++++++

MW> 0:14 The ADT is not turned down fast enough, it continues till the
MW> second syllable of "Eleanor"

It is also slow in coming back in throughout the rest of the song, wherever
"All the lonely people" is sung.

Here There and Everywhere
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Between the words "everywhere.../...Knowing that love.." at 1:10 (Left
Channel) There is the sound of a tape machine speeding up/slowing down
where an edit had been performed.

Yellow Submarine
++++++++++++++++

"And the band ... begins to play " Yes...and just after this they dummy the
first two notes of their solo (!) just before it really starts.

She said She Said
+++++++++++++++++

(Not an error but odd!) Every Cymbal crash in the left track has had the
beginning of its sound muted. This would be done during mixing!

Good day sunshine
+++++++++++++++++

"She feels good" repeats Ringo off mic after Paul sings this line at 1:21
Bad edit in piano track (right ear) at 1:28
Edited on "Good day sunshines" at 1:52 (The edit is under the word "Day" of
"Good day sunshine" the first time it is sung in a new key.)

And your bird can sing
++++++++++++++++++++++

Paul takes a deep breath at 0:02 during the intro

Tomorrow never knows
++++++++++++++++++++

ADT in right ear drops out one word too early, leaving "It is being....It is"
in right ear..This is at 0:49, and the organ also drops out at this point)
Feedback whistle at 1:23 in Right ear during "Love is all and love is
everyone" line.

Hey Bulldog
+++++++++++

Guitar piece (Right ear) edited in sharply at 1:04, cutting in late after 
"talk to me" This dropin ends at 1:32
Lennon sings "Big man..." and in the left ear Ringo shouts "Yes?" in response
Also at 2:06 to 3:04, there are lyrics which never got into "The book" or into
a book of beatles lyrics I have....

"EEha"
"Wowa"
"Hey Bulldog....Woof"
"Hey Bulldog"
"Hey man whats that noise?"
"Woof"
"Whaddya Say?"
"I said Woof"
"Dyou know any more?"
"Wooowaaaaaa"

[Lennon screams] Paul -> "You got it, Great, You hit it, That's it man, Wooh
                          That's it, You got it"
[Lennon becomes
 hysterical]     Paul -> "Don't look at me man, I already have grandchildren"

Paul --> "Clap, man, Clap"
Lennon --> "Ok"
Paul --> "Clap"

Its all too much
++++++++++++++++

The song opens with Lennons "To your mu/" which got cut off by the guitar
coming in.

All you need is love
++++++++++++++++++++

Right ear, at 0:24, Lennon says something off mic
1:19 and 1:23, edits in the guitar track (Right ear)

Get Back
++++++++

A very strange introduction, including John's "Sweet Lorreta F*rt she thought
she was a cleaner....but she was a frying pan...", Paul singing "Rosetta".
There is a quiet count in "1-2-1234", and an even quieter "Get in!" and
"Level, John?"

The end is equally odd, and contains a man saying (not a beatle BTW)
"I'm afraid it's just too long..." "Thanks , Mo!" (PAUL) and John's "I'd like
to say thank you on behalf of the group...."

Sergeant Pepper/With a little help
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

(Left channel) When they first sing "We're SPLHCB", the Beatle singing lowest
harmony is very out of tune on "Lonely hearts club band". Then on the next line
There is some hesitancy over the "S-S-Sergeant peppers ..."

The line "Sit back and let the evening go" also has some less than tuneful 
singing.

"With a little help" actually starts back at the "screams" before the Billy
Shears line.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MW> 2:34 Paul sings harmony on the "Lu" syllable; he was supposed to sing in
MW> tandem with John

and just before, in right ear, a chair creaks/paper rustles!

MW> 1:32 a much delayed "igh" is heard

I think this was a previous take,as you say

0:49 - A guitar breaks throu on right channel during quiet part just before
       "Lucy"

3:08 - Keyboard player hits a brief dud note (Left ear) on "aaah"

Getting better
++++++++++++++

(Left ear) Before vocals start, someone gives a count in. Paul makes a vocal
error later, saying "You're doing the best that I can".

She's Leaving home
++++++++++++++++++

Definitely an edit at the exact start of verse 2 and 3 (1:17 2:30 respectivly)

2:56 Lennon sungs "What did we do that was wronnngk?" the first time.

When I'm 64
+++++++++++

1:55 on the word "Vera" - a strange beeping noise. What is this??

Lovely Rita
+++++++++++

At 0:21 to 0:23 John's aside "Aaahh...Paul" under the main lyrics.
A "fwip" of a tape slewing up/down can be heard at 0:33 in the right ear after
the lyrics "your heart away"
2:38 - Ringo says at the very end "They'll never believe it" (Left ear)

Sgt Pepper Repriese
+++++++++++++++++++

At the start, under the count in, John says "Look up.....Bye..."
And at 1:15 to 1:17 John says (after the "Woooo") "Paul hold my guitar for me"
(Heard on a vocal eliminator again....)

Strawberry Fields
+++++++++++++++++

MW> The most famous beatles edit ever

The main edit that joins the two takes is in the line "Let me take you down
cause I'm going to", exactly on the word "GO". Listen to just left channel and
you hear the drums go verrry dead at this moment, and the mellotron stops
harshly. Listen to the right, and you hear an orchestra appear suddenly.

MW> My mother made it for me ....
MW> Counting from 1 to 4 at 1:17 2:01
MW> 3:27 - 4:05 General speaking

Well... I have a copy of a bootleg CD which has the S.F. Demo (John and a
guitar), Take 1, Take 6, Take 25, and Remix 26. I cannot hear the "My mother
made it for me"...The count in is there...but mixed out on the finished song.
The general speech includes John saying "Alright, calm down Ringo!". Anyone
who likes SF should try and get hold of this CD...It allows you to hear
stages in the making of the song.

Dear Yoko
+++++++++

I know this is not a Beatles song, but what are the words lennon says at
the end, something like "When you come over next time don't .... Spend some
time ...." ??? Help!

Day in the life
+++++++++++++++

Mal Evans can only be heard counting from 5 to 12 (1:45 to 1:55) in the stereo
version, unless you have superhuman ears!

After the crescendo, at the join of John to Paul's bit...there is quite a few
odds and ends....

Right Channel 2:15  Sharp intake of breath
Left Channel  2:16  Alarm bell rings
Right Channel 2:17  "ONE" to mark the down beat, needed because of the long
                    period without a clear beat!
Right Channel 2:18  "Up" (From previous take, ? )

"Woke up....continues"

Right Channel 2.43  Under word "smoke" someone shouts "hoooo" in background
Left Channel  2.58  Cough

Mal appears again 3:50 to 4:00 counting from 4 to 12 this time.

At the very end, in the "bunnnng...." E maj chord as it is described in the
book, at 4:49 I do hear the chair squeak and the SHHHH mentioned somewhere
in this newsgroup.




Oh well...That's the lot......Agree? Disagree? ... Post comments etc to :-
