Talk:I Need You (Beatles song)

message: This is sourced, so I don't want to change it, but it is incorrect. "Cry For A Shadow", "You Know What to Do", and "Don't Bother Me" were all recorded prior to "I Need You". Harrison is also credited as co-author of "In Spite of all the Danger". --Jd204 22:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

message: "Recording the Beatles" gives some surprising facts about the arrangement, quoted from notes made by George Martin during the sessions.

Talk:Another Girl

message: Ian MacDonald claims that John is on acoustic guitar and George is on electric guitar, as does Kenneth Womack, but according to George Martin's production notes, clearly written at the time of the sessions and now on display, it's the reverse - George on acoustic and John on electric.
Somebody should replace the citation from MacDonald, because he doesn't always get his line-ups right.

Talk:You're Going to Lose That Girl

message: Is there a source for the claim that the song was written entirely by Lennon?  In The Beatles (p. 554), Bob Spitz writes that unlike most of their songs, which can be credited to one writer or the other, this one was a "near-perfect collaboration." Nareek 16:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  John Lennon song? 

message: The section "Composition and Recording" currently begins with the statement:
"The last song recorded before breaking off to make the film..."
This is confusing at best. While it was the last song from the Feb. 65 sessions to make the "Help!" album, there was one more song recorded the following day ("That Means A Lot"), after which The Beatles departed for their first day of shooting Help!
Trying to think of a way to word this that isn't completely cumbersome, and if anyone else wants to beat me to it, they're welcome to.

Talk:Louis VI of France

message: Louis endeared himself to the working classes of France? Surely an anachronism? Perhaps the author meant peasantry? There weren't many people doing the jobs we now associate with the proletariat. I'd change the text, but I don't even know if the broader assertion is accurate.--Iacobus 00:53, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Working Classes? 

message: I am not responsible for removing the picture from this article, but I do question the value of these portraits. They mostly end up looking like a nineteenth century gentleman wearing a crown and mock medieval robes. There is, of course, no realistic portrait of Louis VI, because medieval illustrators were not concerned with portraits as we know them. However, a picture of Louis VI from as close to his reign as can be sourced (manuscript, coin, etc) would surely be more valuable - at least it would give us more of the flavour of the culture and concept of kingship extant from Louis' reign. Strange to say, I don't have such an illustration at hand, but I will keep a look out for one.--Iacobus 00:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with Iacobus on this. Later 'fantasy' illustrations of historical events and persons are nice, but doubtfully appropriate to an encyclopaedia article (except maybe to a last section dealing with 'later legends' etc.) Wikipedia articles on history are a bit overloaded with them.

Talk:Dizzy, Miss Lizzy

message: I've not seen this quote from Macca before, but did he mean 'Best of the Beatles live studio recordings', i.e. all four of them playing, and no or few overdubs or effects? Thus capturing the old 'raw' Beatle sound? According to Lewisohn's Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Lizzy (with a 'y') was done in one session, though in seven takes. There are some among us who would say Long Tall Sally and Slow Down would be their best live studio rockers, and I'd add to that tally Money and the immortal Twist and Shout but of course, these are matters of taste. And who am I to argue with Sir Paul, who after all, was there at the time? Bluedawe 23:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:The Word (song)

message: In the Hit Parader interview John did in 1972, he simply put 'The Word' into the category of songs he and Paul had written together -- NOT among those he'd written alone -- which means Paul must have had quite a bit of input on this one.
(I mean, in this interview John completely failed to mention Paul's involvement in the writing of 'In My Life', which naturally leads me to believe that Paul's contribution to 'The Word' must have been even greater than his contribution to 'In My Life', a song John DID give Paul quite a bit of credit for in his 1970 Rolling Stone interview AND in the 1980 Playboy interview.
Of course, when 'In My Life' is concerned, John could be guilty of just being forgetful on this occasion.)
In the Playboy interview he also said 'The Word' was written together -- although, being mainly his.
Paul seems inclined to treat this song as a 50/50 composition.
Therefore, just stating that it's 'primarily a John Lennon composition' seems a bit problematic.
Saying that they wrote it together, based on John's initial idea, sounds far much closer to the truth.

thread_title:  A song medley for LOVE 

message: Can’t agree that this number is addressed to Jane. Several of the Beatles’ earliest works were on the theme of ‘longing and separation’, doubtless due to their heavy touring schedule. ‘PS, I Love You’, ‘It Won’t Be Long’ and ‘All My Loving’ spring to mind, and one might add ‘When I Get Home’ and even ‘A Hard Day’s Night’.
McCartney says somewhere that ‘I’m Looking Through You’ was the first song he wrote directly arising from his personal life. It expresses the unease he was feeling, the sense that Jane Asher was slipping away from him: ‘I thought I knew you, what did I know?’
