That period for The Beatles from late 1965 - mid 1966 when they released Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out, Rubber Soul, Paperback Writer/Rain & Revolver is them at their peak as a working band.
@oneisnone7350 Plus the non album singles and EPs. They also made two theatrical films, one TV film, numerous TV and radio appearances, toured the world. Then there were the side projects such as writing and producing songs for other artists, Paul and George each composed a soundtrack album, John and Ringo each starred in a film, John wrote a couple of books, all this in that same 7 year period.
The Beatles were in such a deep groove when songs like these were pouring out of them like water from a fountain... and there was so much more to come!.... Rain was my favourite song when I was 11 years old... pretty much the start of psychedelic music... blew my 11 year old mind!
I was 9 then, but I'm with you 100%. I saw them live at Shea Stadium in 1965--every girl in NYC was there, screaming at the top of their lungs (I had the cheap seats way up in the crow's nest) But, hey, at least I was there.
The Beatles provided the soundtrack of my teenage years; they were the sea-change that was needed to kick -start music out of the 50s rut. Modern artists owe much to them.
The singles market was very important in England in the 60s. As teenagers a lot of us didn't have the cash to buy albums very often but singles were affordable. In my circle of friends listening to albums was a more communal activity where we'd all get together and listen to the one or two albums that each of us owned.
"....listening to albums was a more communal activity where we'd all get together and listen to the one or two albums that each of us owned." It was so here in the States as well. How many times did you listen to Sgt. Pepper, then flip it over and play it again?
@@fidge54 One of my friends bought it and we all went round to his house that evening and sat in his bedroom playing and replaying it till his parents chucked us out. I couldn't afford my own copy until a couple of months later.
They did it because singles were released on 45 rpm reccord, and they believed they would be ripping off their fans if they bought the single and then bought it again in the album.
Been a Beatles fan for 50 years plus---I had never heard of Rain before Peter Asher on the Beatles channel talked about and it has become my favourite song from the Beatles. Its just amazing. The way Paul and Ringo play together its so cool!! Get reaction. Cheers!
Paperback Writer/Rain was the single that came out from the "Revolver" album sessions. You were right about 2 things concerning Rain. The entire instrumental backing track was slowed down when they put the vocals on. On the Revolver sessions box set they include the backing track at the original recorded speed, and it is much faster. It has some very intense drumming from Ringo. Also, at the end of Rain, the vocals are backwards. That's why the others are smirking as John lip sings to that part.
The fast version of Rain on the Super Deluxe Edition is TOO fast. Giles Martin got it wrong. Yes, it was recorded fast but not at the frantic pace found on the SDE
@@labajadaman I have no data to confirm or dispute that. However, in support of your contention, it is nearly impossible to sing all the lyrics to Rain at the pace the backing track is given on the Revolver deluxe set. I would imagine the lyrics were already written when they recorded the backing track.
EMI insisted on singles being separate from albums. THe Beatles would record a quick single to release while touring, so that they could focus on the album for a few weeks.
You had the note in there about the drums on Rain being slowed down. In fact, the entire song was slowed down from the original track recorded. Just one of the MANY innovative things the Beatles pioneered in the studio. When they stopped touring, they were able to dedicate more time to crafting the songs, using studio tricks. Most of the tricks that are commonplace now were the brainchild of the Beatles, George Martin, Geoff Emerick, and others.
This was most likely the last time the world got to see John playing his Rickenbacker guitar. The following year he switched to a Epiphone. Oh yeah, the first video clip is from the BBC special: "The Music of Lennon & McCartney" shown in December '65.
Many people missed, myself included, the 'fair-ah-jac-ah' in the backing vocals for a long time. Rain is one of their most under-rated songs. Great lyrics, awsome guitar and Ringo's drumming is off the charts! And backwards vocal at the end.
Very good slice of the Mid-Beatles menu -- and a very distinct turning point for the band. Lennon's Day Tripper and Rain saw John veer off into psychedelic rock music, a category he fully would help create and bring to the Beatles (and expanded upon mainly with George). Rain is considered the first of these songs that would later continue into She Said She Said, Dr. Robert, I'm Only Sleeping, Tomorrow Never Knows, Strawberry Fields Forever, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, A Day in the Life, I am the Walrus, Benefit for Mr. Kite, Glass Onion, etc. Ringo's favorite Beatle's song is "Rain" because John allowed him the freedom to replicate "raindrops" via his drum kit -- likely this was his best performance as the Beatle's drummer. Day Tripper became one of rock's premier "riff" songs of all time, and was also the Beatle's first "Drug song" as John would later say -- an important source of writing inspiration that affected many future Beatle songs that the trio would create. Paul's Paperback Writer and We Can Work It out kept the Beatles a bit more on the commercial music track while also being progressive. To me, "We Can Work It Out" was probably the last Beatle's song that was made specifically to chart well -- after that, the Beatles had the freedom to run the tables at EMI for future releases that may not conform as well to what the bigwigs wanted....a bunch of boy/girl love songs. The balance between John and Paul's light/dark mindset writing shines here. Paperback Writer -- "son of Day Tripper" as John called it (riff oriented rock song, released shortly after Day Tripper) has some magnificent story telling by Paul backed by pseudo Beach Boy harmonies. Paul took himself to task to basically write the song around one main chord (very well hidden), much in the format that John used (one chord, Indian music influenced) for Tomorrow Never Knows. The division/difference in John and Paul's writing style, which became further apparent on 1965's Rubber Soul, would continue to expand on 1966's Revolver. The days of writing side by side in hotels were ending as touring stopped in mid-1966, and 1967 was just a year away when Sgt Pepper would come along and reboot the entire rock music industry.
the background vocals starting on the second verse after the chorus, is george and john repeating 'frere jacques', not cause it was relevant to the song as a whole, but it just 'fit'
Ian Iachimoe wrote Paperback Writer-that's Paul McCartney said backward. Paul wrote some articles for the underground Paperback magazine The International Times under the pseudonym Ian Iachimoe.
The International Times was run from the INDICA Bookshop and Art Gallery (Named after Cannabis Indica). Besides Paul McCartney, a frequent visitor to the Indica Bookshop was Robert Frazer, better known as Doctor Robert. Doctor Robert, a Satanist, helped Peter Blake design the Sergeant Pepper album cover. Paul was introduced to the Indica Bookshop by Peter Asher, Jane Asher's brother (Paul's girlfriend) . Jane Asher's father was Dr Richard Asher. He was the senior physician responsible for the mental observation ward at the Central Middlesex Hospital. Doctor Asher wrote several articles for the prestigious Medical journal The Lancet. One was called RESPECTABLE HYPNOSIS (1956). The song Yesterday was written at Jane Asher's at 57 Whimpole St (home of the Asher's) Paul once said that he woke up, and the melody for Yesterday was in his head. Go figure! Do the Sergeant Pepper Album and I'll explain the whole thing to you.
Paul's bass playing excelled during this time period. Hey Bulldog and Penny Lane have some of the most creative bass lines that i've heard and I've been playing bass for over 45 years.
You are right about The Beatles' singles Mike. Almost none of the songs that were released as singles ever made it onto their album releases. Capital Records, their American label would sometimes include singles onto the albums for the American market. Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever are two singles that were also included on the album as well! Awesome reaction, as always! 😊😊
In the early days, in the UK, it was thought wrong to put singles on the albums - as in having to buy it twice. Maybe this philosophy didn’t survive the Atlantic crossing..
Of course Penny Lane & Strawberry Fields, along with their other 1967 singles, were only included on the American Capitol records release of Magical Mystery Tour but not the original British Parlophone double EP version. Even though the Capitol version is now THE standard if the Beatles had had their way once again there would have been no doubling up of singles on albums for 1967 (the one exception being that I Am The Walrus appeared on both an album and B-side of a single). Fun fact: If we count the Magical Mystery Tour as an album not an EP, then 31 out of the 48 singles/EP tracks released by The Beatles were intended to be unique stand alone songs not available on albums (not including those compiled later in greatest hits style packages) - that's about two thirds.
@@marascusbomm Satisfaction and other Stone’s singles appeared on US album versions but not UK, like The Beatles. Was it a generally British thing? I’ll have a look at other acts..
@@innertube47 Yes, it was 2 different philosophies back in the 60s. In England, based on what I have read, it was about giving the fans value for money and it was thought improper to make record buyers pay for a song on an album that they had already purchased as a single. It was recognised that a lot of buyers were teens and didn't have that much money. But in the US the philosophy was that it was madness to leave the singles off the albums, as the singles were usually the best & most popular songs that would help sell the album. One person's cynical cash grab is another person's smart business. Which side you are on depends on if you are looking at things from the buyer's or the seller's perspective. I have to say the British philosophy is admirable but only really works at the top tier and you need a band that has a proven track record of being able to knock out hits under pressure (As good as the Stones, The Kinks & The Who were they released non-album singles rarely). Most bands on both sides of the Atlantic had a lot of filler on their albums and to have to write hit singles on top of their album output would have been a step too far - But The Beatles were just in a different league. That's why they could knock off an amazing album like Rubber Soul for the Christmas market in just under a month - AND knock out a double A-side single such as 'We Can Work It Out'/'Day Tripper' from the same sessions which they didn't even have to include on the album thanks to the embarrassment of riches they had in the songwriting department. We won't see the like again
Throw into this group Don't let me down, I want you (she's so heavy), It's only love, I'll be back, Things we said today, and Come together and you've covered all my 10 favorite Beatles songs
I remember "Rain" very well.....I was 16 yrs old......I really liked rain mainly because of the middle verse. Thought it was pretty unique grouping/ lengthy harmony at the time. Course I bought every album/single they released.
They were tardy and sheepish in not recognising their Psychedelic Tomorrow Never Knows as the best #1 latent gem ! Would've been a colossal intro into that 1966 new direction happening ! Pity ! 👁️🏁🎱😹
yeah ringos drumming is interesting hmm / brilliant songs most of their catalogue . I have heard the rain before reminds me of a peter gabriel song, the loooonnng and short steps
The whole song [Rain] was recorded faster and then slowed down - the original sound is frenetic. You can tell it is not a contemporary performance of the song because Paul has all his teeth!
The "video's" were Promotional Clips - they would send them on tour instead of themselves, because they couldn't keep up to demand and be in all places at once. This idea - turned into " music videos".
There is a famous Beatles tribute band that does costume changes with wigs and other makeup to go from the early Beatles to the time they eventually broke up and they've been touring for decades the band's name is rain
Paperback is too brilliant on various levels. I don't hold my breath waiting for Taylor Swift to ever write something like this. It's all over. The best music has been made already.
Well, that’s WIERD, because when I was listening just now, to some of their instrumentation in the song Rain, it reminded me of the Byrds’ instrumentation!!
In a press conference in The States. they were asked about Day Tripper and Norwegian Wood being about a prostitute and a lesbian. Paul said ""NO! you got it all wrong". They're about a lesbian and a prostitute"".
Day Tripper is from Top of the Pops (lip synched). A Brit tv show. Paperback writer/Rain is a promotional FILM for tour date sales on TV. Commercials on tv would have the band and the song, while an announcer would be like "Friday, May 10th.......THE BEATLES...live on stage at the local theater/arena/or stadium,......Tickets...$5.00 adults, 2.00 kids......FRIDAY MAY 1oth"............So usually, only part of these films would be seen, before cutting back to Rawhide.
You will note on Day Tripper, even their guitars are not plugged in. There was no wireless tech then. Plus this is when John called it his "Fat" year. His suits were all tight from eating on the road all the time.
^ It saddens me that, back in 2009 the FULL "Rain" video (in colour, as per this video's backdrop), was still available for Public viewing & it's superb. I guess copyright issues caused it to be pulled - Several viewers remarked about the massive chip across Paul's lower front tooth - it had been caused apparently when he fell off a Vespa scooter whilst on holiday (Greece, IIRC) at the ar$e end of the Mediterranean - Must've had it capped soon after, but it's REALLY noticeable in the original promo' video for "Rain", filmed at the same time & location as the "Paperback Writer" video

@stormhawk3319 Completely agree. It's my absolute favorite Beatles era.
The Rubber Soul/Revolver era of the Beatles is my absolute favorite. To me, Rain is the most underrated song in their arsenal.
I LUV “Rain” !!!
I think Rain could have easily been an A side.
They had 13 albums in just 7 years. Incredible.
Indeed. Let's see today's so-called "artists" equal that feat.
Only Guided By Voices has done that.

The triplets on "We can work it out" (on "fighting my friend" and "ask you once again") were George's contribution. They really were a team.
The Beatles provided the soundtrack of my teenage years; they were the sea-change that was needed to kick -start music out of the 50s rut. Modern artists owe much to them.
Paperback Writer has always been a favorite and it was a number one hit song.
but do you realize what these four guys have managed to do? these four wonderful, innovative, songs are a taste of their greatness.
All of them fantastic.

Paperback Writer is an awesome jam. Man, what killer track.

That's why they could knock off an amazing album like Rubber Soul for the Christmas market in just under a month - AND knock out a double A-side single such as 'We Can Work It Out'/'Day Tripper' from the same sessions which they didn't even have to include on the album thanks to the embarrassment of riches they had in the songwriting department. We won't see the like again
Throw into this group Don't let me down, I want you (she's so heavy), It's only love, I'll be back, Things we said today, and Come together and you've covered all my 10 favorite Beatles songs
One day I calculated they had 75 known songs that most would recognize. I know I missed a few.
W O W !!!!!!!
They were tired of touring, so decided to send videos instead of traveling.
They sent several videos that were played on "Ed Sullivan Show".
The released version of Rain was slowed down to seven-eighths speed from the original recording
When you guys listen to revolver make sure there the 2022 mixes
Revolver? My #1 Beatles LP. the British version, of course.
The Harmonium, played by George Martin in We Can Work it Out, added so much.
It was played by John Lennon
@harlow743 yes, my bad.
I remember "Rain" very well.....I was 16 yrs old......I really liked rain mainly because of the middle verse. Thought it was pretty unique grouping/ lengthy harmony at the time. Course I bought every album/single they released.
The drums and bass from Rain are simply insane. Please react to Revolver now
When they stopped touring they made what we call videos to appear on the Ed Sullivan show instead of being live. The others are from Ed Sullivan.
They were tardy and sheepish in not recognising their Psychedelic Tomorrow Never Knows as the best #1 latent gem ! Would've been a colossal intro into that 1966 new direction happening ! Pity ! 👁️🏁🎱😹
yeah ringos drumming is interesting hmm / brilliant songs most of their catalogue . I have heard the rain before reminds me of a peter gabriel song, the loooonnng and short steps
One of the first psychadelic songs ever
The whole song [Rain] was recorded faster and then slowed down - the original sound is frenetic. You can tell it is not a contemporary performance of the song because Paul has all his teeth!
In the original paperback writer instrumental you can hear a gong sound
This was all ground breaking stuff.
The "video's" were Promotional Clips - they would send them on tour instead of themselves, because they couldn't keep up to demand and be in all places at once. This idea - turned into " music videos".
I actually heard both songs before "Rubber Soul" maybe because I had to save up to buy albums. (Hell, they cost almost $5.) 🤘😎❤
There is a famous Beatles tribute band that does costume changes with wigs and other makeup to go from the early Beatles to the time they eventually broke up and they've been touring for decades the band's name is rain
I've seen them and they are great
checkin in...
Paperback is too brilliant on various levels. I don't hold my breath waiting for Taylor Swift to ever write something like this. It's all over. The best music has been made already.
Don't forget the influence of the Byrds, Beach boys, and the Yardbirds during the Beatles mid-60s period on Rubber soul and Revolver.
Well, that’s WIERD, because when I was listening just now, to some of their instrumentation in the song Rain, it reminded me of the Byrds’ instrumentation!!
@@foofookachoo1136 "Eight miles high"? That and "Rain" are both great songs.
Rain wasn't as big because they basically put an A -side song on the B-side
How juiced are they in the Rain video? Blotto.
Why listen to remixes??? The ORIGINAL ALBUMS are sooo good!!!
I agree. Originals are the best!
Not really remixed, just better sound. There are no production changes.
The remixes are better and you are ignorant because they are different
@@garylee3685. ID HOPE NOT!!!!
In a press conference in The States. they were asked about Day Tripper and Norwegian Wood being about a prostitute and a lesbian. Paul said ""NO! you got it all wrong". They're about a lesbian and a prostitute"".
Stevie Wonders does a great cover of We can work it out.
Day Tripper is from Top of the Pops (lip synched). A Brit tv show. Paperback writer/Rain is a promotional FILM for tour date sales on TV. Commercials on tv would have the band and the song, while an announcer would be like "Friday, May 10th.......THE BEATLES...live on stage at the local theater/arena/or stadium,......Tickets...$5.00 adults, 2.00 kids......FRIDAY MAY 1oth"............So usually, only part of these films would be seen, before cutting back to Rawhide.
You will note on Day Tripper, even their guitars are not plugged in. There was no wireless tech then. Plus this is when John called it his "Fat" year. His suits were all tight from eating on the road all the time.
Day Tripper is supposedly about a prostitute.
The girls are your Great Grandma
They would be my mom, but I'm oooooold!
Rain is the best one?
❤️💣🇮🇹
The "Day Tripper' video is lip-synced -- from some TV show. They didn't make that video.
It’s a video. Not a tv show. The Beatles started video’s. Not mtv
BEATLES ETERNOS
So what's the purpose of this?
Listen to rain as it is originally recorded. It's much faster
Not 3/4. its 3/6 time. 3/4 would be quarter notes.3/6 is 8th notes.
3/6 is absolutely not 8th notes. 3/8 is 3 8th notes per bar. Even then, it probably is 3/4.
DO REVOLVER PLEASE
We will. We'll be doing lots more Beatles
Where are the reactions? You just introduce the songs?!
react to what does it mean to you by carpetman
fade out vocals on Rain are backward.
Sadly LIP SYNCING the words ..... no cords on electric guitars, no Microphones and yet the sound is RECORDING EXACT !
It's not out of sync at all.
Rain is arguably the greatest Beatles song. Probably not but could be
My favorite Beatles song.

It saddens me that, back in 2009 the FULL "Rain" video (in colour, as per this video's backdrop), was still available for Public viewing & it's superb.
I guess copyright issues caused it to be pulled - Several viewers remarked about the massive chip across Paul's lower front tooth - it had been caused apparently when he fell off a Vespa scooter whilst on holiday (Greece, IIRC) at the ar$e end of the Mediterranean - Must've had it capped soon after, but it's REALLY noticeable in the original promo' video for "Rain", filmed at the same time & location as the "Paperback Writer" video
Macca always knew where the camera was.
As I get older in my 70s, these middle age housewives become more attractive.
John Lennon wrtoe this terrific song George Harrison plays the famous guitar piece
What is with that thumbnail?
Stones were better
