This one and Hey Bulldog, the cliche “underrated” track. But I always loved this song for the great singing, lyrics, and the clavier thing. Great bass line too. This track was used to wonderful effect in the last scene of The Social Network.
if only the mixing and recording was more clear...but I'm also a fan of isolating tracks...this way one could re-record even this bass properly...which could result in majestic new rock
Paul's bass here is insanely good. For me the false start where it almost seems like a percussion element is one of the best intros to any pop song ever. And John's lyrics "Now that you know who you are... What do you want to be?" pfff
I don’t even notice bass on most music in general but listening to the Beatles it’s SO evident, and in a good way. I never realized how bass could add to songs so much
for me the best song of Magical Mistery Tour, so complete, so mysterious, a perfect Lennon (Beautiful People)- McCartney (Baby you are a rich man) song
@@el34glo59 Wrong. It is 2 songs put together - One Of The Beautiful People by John, and Paul wrote the chorus. If you don't believe me try John Lennon: "That’s a combination of two separate pieces, Paul’s and mine, put together and forced into one song" (All we are Saying).
The best way to hear that chunky guitar part is fully pan to the appropriate channel, full left or full right, I forget which, then if you have an equalizer drop all but the midrange and it comes right out of the mix. Love it!
I love this song soooo much. Georges parts are soo cool and weird. Really every part is perfect. From ringo keeping the feel just right, to the clavioline, to the bassline, to the lyrics. It's just amazing.
In a video called "The Analogues - The Clavioline", which you can see here on RUclips, a guy shows that instrument and how John Lennon supposedly rolled an orange on the keyboard to get that odd sound. Watch it and see. Interesting stuff.
seriously, was Jagger there? PS: another Beatles tune that is forever synonymous with a profound personal moment. Thank you Beatles. Sounds bizarre deconstructed btw, but thoroughly interesting.
This Channel has consumed countless hours of my time. When this music was released, we only had transistor radios or an old thing Mom & Dad may have had. MONO! Of course, a few decades later, we could hear re-released music, and it was so great to hear earlier music in its whole. But, I cannot believe that 55 years later, I can hear my favorite music from my youth broken down like this. It's stunning to hear what music was comprised of and surprises like "Jagger was on here?!". The transistor also made us lyrics-crazy. Mainly because that was the most prominent part we could hear.
the remixes starting with the ones in the 70s are absent of an effect that the original 1967 has. Its a swirling effect when the piano is being played after each verse. I was so used to hearing an original 1967 version back in the day and then when I heard the first CD remaster in the late 80s or early 90s something sounded different to me. I think the story goes that George Martin was called in to do a reissue in the early 70s to true stereo and they couldnt figure out how to replicate that effect. The effect suited the song very well in my opinion in the context of the song.
The first Beatles song I ever heard. Born 3/22/1963 I knew and liked the Monkees but when my sister got this single, flip side of All You need is Love, It was my first exposure to the Beatles. As a five- or six-year-old child I can freely admit that this was my first spiritual experience. It ranks #3 of my list (#1Hey Jude #2 Dear Prudence)
I just learned about the long forgotten clavioline John is playing and the shehnai part he is echoing. You can find videos of both instruments on RUclips to hear what they sound like. Thanks for this video breaking down a very interesting song.
A song about Brian Epstein. He would put their " under the table " money in a big brown bag. I also believe it was recorded at Olympic studio, not EMI ( Abbey Road ) as they were booked at that time. Great period photos. Thank you for posting.
"Keep all your money in a big brown bag inside the Louvre" was the original lyric. Epstein got a call from the Louvre that said change it or pay royalties. The "beautiful people" artistic bohemians were hanging out in the Louvre smoking weed during the 60's and the Beatles went to see the Louvre while in Paris. They remarked how much security there was protecting the paintings and suggested to Ringo that he should keep his cash in the Louvre so that it would be safe. Ringo was always paid in cash and was looking for a safe place to stash an every growing cache. He wanted to avoid British taxation, who doesn't?
Hey Joe: That's amazing data. Thank you. I don't know where you got it but... How would the Louvre know they were mentioned unless the song came out first, and then they responded? Is there a version with " Louvre " mentioned on the tune?
Extra Credit: the photos look approximately period correct as well! Are some of these from the Olympic Studio session? Awesome isolations, I have a new appreciation for this song now, was never much for Sgt Pepper album before, too "baroque", I always thought. Isolation shows how this song does rock at more of a gut level.
They actually recorded this song for the Yellow Submarine film. But needed a B-side for All You Need Is Love. The stereo version, released much later was better sounding.
I really feel like this is a very self affirming song for the rest of us. It’s like “well now that you are in with the beautiful people, you are in the body and head with your previous self, and you have so much money that you’re going to the Zoo instead of the bank. I get the same impression from “All You Need is Love”, which is like “There’s nothing you can do but you can learn how to be yourself in time. And it’s easy!”. It’s too bad that some people can’t keep their music out of T.V. commercial.
It's the rock band track, I think. It originally had more instruments on each track, and they were digitally separated; causing the muffled distortion.
Mick was awesome holding the microphone. Nobody holds a microphone like Mr. Jagger and it shows on this track. I wasn't sure if it was Keith, Brian or Mick. It haunted me not to know. Thanks. I wasn't sure but who it that I distinctly heard farting in this song. Between how does it feel to be one of the beautiful---fart-- people. Who did that? Please separate that and disclose who putrefied the studio. I bet it was Mick.
I wonder if Eddie Kramer's vibraphone part was meant to be more substantial, or if he recorded just that one note to simulate the sound of wine glasses being tapped together.
Do you think it's possible that George used the fretless guitar on the song? There are a few moments where the guitar doesn't sound like a normal fretted one.
I think people get this track confused with You KNow My Name, I'm pretty sure Brian Jones played on a version of that song, most likely the last section.
@@EddieG1888 Brian did play sax on You Know My Name. People don’t confuse it with Baby Your’e A Rich Man. What they do is read something that someone uninformed wrote along time ago in a book stating that Brian played oboe or sax on the song and that quote has stuck. In actual fact John Lennon played a small keyboard instrument called a Clavioline on the track.

cant believe these are all over the internet these are amazing
John Lennon's Clavioline soloing is amazing for this song. Very hard to duplicate!!
He played the line by rolling a tennis ball on the Clavioline keyboard.

The compression in this song makes it so damn heavy
This was the first Beatles single I bought new so it holds a special place for me. The deconstruction really lets Ringo's work shine through.
Was it a double A side, with all you need is love ❤️?
Always loved this tune. Love Harrison’s chunky guitar throughout.
The best way to hear that chunky guitar part is fully pan to the appropriate channel, full left or full right, I forget which, then if you have an equalizer drop all but the midrange and it comes right out of the mix. Love it!
I’ll try but bit of a Luddite when it comes to musical technology. I can fiddle with the balance though. Thx.
Paul bass
This is the song that got me into playing the clavioline.
I don’t think I had ever heard the name of it!
You have to actually have a Clavioline in order to get into playing one. Do you have one?
I always thought it was a shenai! (An Indian oboe - get the spelling from Wiki.)
Heard it was Brian Jones
Que es eso?
This is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time.
I never noticed it consciously before but I love the consistent G note throughout the song
like Indian music
My God, Paul and his chug-a-lug-lug bass lines 😍
Such an underrated song! Love this deconstruction.
I love this song soooo much. Georges parts are soo cool and weird. Really every part is perfect. From ringo keeping the feel just right, to the clavioline, to the bassline, to the lyrics. It's just amazing.

A master class in music arrangement and production. This gives great perspective of how the different layers work with each other. A fantastic track.
Great choice to deconstruct this song. Love the bass!!

this song was recorded in USA with The Rolling Stones
No, it was recorded at Olympic Studios, the Stones' recording studios in London.
literally my favorite bass solos ever
Brilliant. Of course.
The best part of the song and what makes the song is the clavioline keyboard
Wow i didn't expect that Mick jagger also here!
John is wailin on that clav!!
What a great vocal sound on the chorus.
I didn't know that Mick Jagger sang the Chorus...Cool...

Interesting. I always thought the ‘clavioline’ sound was a PUNGI, an Indian snake charmers pipe.
John Lennon allegedly played the Clavioline in the intro with an orange. I made a video testing that theory.
One of the Beatles best , they have so many !
disco masterspiece
Later on Al Green and Annie Lennox sang Put a little love in my heart which was stolen from this song no doubt about it .
