I know a few people that were part of the Beatles circle and I have been told some great stories..please let me know where the tapes came from..If you know Geoff Emerick, he always told me that the stereo mixes were crap and that his original mono mixes were the end all. did you work with the Beatles at Abby Road to get those tapes?

I also love the 'giggle' overdub take, one of the highlights of Anthology, but I wanted so badly to hear what they were trying to sing along with in the first place. Thanks Nat!

It is much like the Byrds, who would have thought? I guess the last time I listened to it this well, I was so enthralled by it (always one of my favourites)I was only thinking "Beatles". I am one of those who also loves the candid giggling in the Anthology, we know what they were doing in between takes, lol. My favourite thing is hearing stuff that was not intended for the world's ears, but just 4 boys doing their thing for hours on end, as their close relationship is revealed, even when there is some stress, like George's frustrated comment in LIB "Tell me what to do and I'll DO IT!". Recordings including things like that really let us in. OH YES! It is much like the Byrds, who would have thought?

And I promise much more such moments as you describe (but not any already easily accessible on any of the Anthology stuff). Well put, EM.

I love the giggling, like I love the Oh Darling, where John babbles something to Paul about Yoko's divorce becoming final. It's these rare elements of bonhomie that make us listen to a Toot and a Snore and want, more than anything really, for the two to have really made up before December the 8th. In my fantasy world of 60's pop, George Harrison loved to play pool with Dave Davies, while Mick Jagger played harmonica, and Townshend had the sound down on a Manchester United game, Clapton was making popcorn and Rod Argent was melting the butter. Who among us does not want John and Paul to be best mates? It is part of the joy of the whole thing. The false starts and hi-jinks, the stoned giggling and nervous laughter breakdowns are a great addition to the catalog. If it were one or the other ( a really neat early version of Bird as presented here, or one where you gain depth into their relationship, as is heard on Anthology) I'll take Anthology. Thank goodness it is 2010 and we have BROW so we can have both. Oh no. I love the giggling, like I love the Oh Darling, where John babbles something to Paul about Yoko’s divorce becoming final.

Maybe because it shows how crazy things could get in the studio sometimes. Not sure... I guess it's kind of cool to hear, in a way. I just wanted everyone to hear what was in their earphones while they were giggling instead of singing. I guess the novelty of it was thought to be attractive.
