Is Long, long, long really a 3/8??? | Yes...its tempo base is definitely a waltzer. And the eerie bottle rattle at the end is one of those fantastic "accidents" that give that extra special flavour to Beatles compositions!

Some interesting facts about the White Album, in case anyone really wanted to know.
1) McCartney played drums on some tracks (e.g. Dear Prudence) after Starr walked out.
2) Most of the tracks were written in India.
3) "Glass Onion" was deliberately written to confuse people who look for hidden meanings in Beatle songs.
4) The bass guitar on "I will" is actually McCartney going "dum dum".
5) "Yer blues" fearures one of the worst edits on a Beatles track (and the microphone died in the last verse).
6) Is there anyone who doesn't know who "Sexy Sadie" is?
Finally a question - who says "I've got blisters on my fingers"? Is it Lennon or Starr (I've never seen a definitive answer to this).

Now, this is hardly definitive, but my bandmate is a Beatles nutjob, and he claims that it is John.

By the way, shouldn't The Beatles be included in our "Roots of prog" category?

Nope, that's Ringo.

I ADORE The Beatles. I look at their discpgraphy as a continuous ascending climax, from Rubber Soul on their music gets better and better. So logically for me their apex is Abbey Road. But The White Album comes second. I also happen to like Let it be a lot (the classic version)

did you know that it was recorded in a tiny store room? they were practically back to back all in the same room (drums included), and the song was recorded live. Once you know that, you realize that the edit is INCREDIBLE!!!! In a book I read that the engineers and George Martin were amazed at the separation between the instruments after listening to the single track tapes...some god was looking from above...

I've always thought it was Ringo, but noone seems to know for sure.
It's nearly as bad as "who sings 'She Loves You' at the end of 'All You
Need Is Love'"?
