That is amazing to know. Thanks! Do you know anything about the guy across the street next to the black car? He just died recently...

that VW was parked with two wheels up on the sidewalk. I did that once, and got a ticket.

Which track is credited to Lennon/McCartney, even though Paul McCartney did not actively participate in the track's creation, but Yoko Ono did?

(Hope this hasn't already been asked. I scanned through the thread and saw some similar posts related to authorship disputes, but not specifically mentioning this particular track.)

It has not been asked, and is a good one. Before the breakup, it would have to be Revolution 9. During the breakup, everything John did with Plastic Ono Band is still credited to Lennon/McCartney - which means that Paul still collects a nice big, fat paycheck for Imagine.

Interesting. Thanks for making the "before / after" distinction.

Yes, you're absolutely right: Revolution 9 is the track I was thinking of. It was composed by John, George, Ringo, and...Yoko.

I dunno if this has been asked, but eh.

What was the synth that was used during the recording of Abbey Road and why was it so remarkable at the time?

And a throwaway:

Why was "Let It Be" re-released a few years ago and who "remastered" it?

Pogue, it was a Moog.

It was one of those old, old monophonic Moog synthesizers. Although the synth had been around awhile, Robert Moog was the first person to add a keyboard to the hookup in 1967, and it was pretty insightful for The Beatles to start fooling around with one that soon. They used it on Sun King, and I think the chord progression for that song is backwards Beethoven (I forget which Beethoven, though).

The Let It Be re-release was Let It Be...Naked, and it was a remastering of the tracks without Phil Spector's wall-of-sound effects that are all over the original.

Which Beatles track includes a recorded belch, and do you know whose? (I don't know the latter...). This particular track was not originally on an album.

You got me on this one, buddy. I've never heard about this. Unless it's Piggies with all the pig sound effects?

The track You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) was the B side of the Let It Be single.

A distinct belch can be heard among the raucous collection of sounds that conclude the track.

I'm going to go have to look this up, but I think there was another band signed before Badfinger, although this band would never record with Apple. Somebody you've never heard of and would forget instantly.

That may have been th silliest track they have, but it was one of my favourites. I think I first heard it on my copy of Beatles Rarities.

I first heard it on the single. It was sliced down to about 4 minutes on the single, but it was still silly and infectious. At the time it came out, we were all digging through every syllable of Beatle lyrics looking for clues to various things, and this song was brutal for those of us trying to find a deeper meaning in it all.

I wish!

If I ever get my hands on that game, I promise you I'll channel Ringo Starr right there in the living room.
