"I don't accept that reality !!" I'm still laughing about that one. Stay fearless Robert...

This is hilarious!! Thanks for a good laugh! I'm reminded of the Monty Python dirty fork scene, "YOU BASTARD"!!!

Happy to hear you defend the facts from the ignorant. That’s why I listen to your channel. 👍🏽

Fucking brilliant. One of your funniest videos. And yeah, sitars on the US Help soundtrack before Rubber Soul is a stone cold fact. I remember noticing that back in the '80s when I bought the record with that same purple label and purple inner sleeve. Yeah, technically those aren't Beatles tracks but your statement is still 100% fact.

Robert you are hilarious! I can't believe we live in an age that we no longer can say anything about anything without someone taking offense. Your reaction was spot on.

I get a kick out how some of these so called fans get so easily triggered. I wonder when it stopped being fun for them. Well done!

I saw your comment on the Parlagram Auctions video before all those insane responses were posted...it was pretty cool imo and I'm sorry you had to endure all that flack. You produced a great follow-up video!

Did you know Ringo first suggested playing a sitar instead of drums on Love Me Do but it was rejected by George Martin. That's the reason Andy White was chosen instead of Ringo which forced Ringo to change his original stage name from Ringo Sitar to Starr. Many believe George played sitar on later recordings but in fact they are actually by Ringo. First use of a sitar in rock music however was the 1st take of Heartbreak Hotel. Floyd Cramer played it but Elvis accidentally shot it so Floyd had to play the piano instead. Floyd was so pissed off he parted company with Elvis shortly after. Unfortunately the sitar track has been supposedly lost but I do believe Paul McCartney owns the recording as Paul bascially owns everything and everybody.

Robert: *literally states a fact* Weird People on KZfaq: "And I took that personally."

Talking about The Beatles, I remember back in the early 90's when I owned a 74 Volkswagen Beetle and anytime I passed by another one we would always wave to each other. There was always this comradery even though we were complete strangers. It was just cool knowing that other people enjoyed the same things that I enjoyed. WTF is wrong with people these days?

Finding out the truth can hurt some people Robert! You're Right!

I’m English, I’ve been obsessed by The Beatles since 1970 and this video is so fantastic that, man, you just won yourself a new subscriber. Having checked my own “reality” I conclude the following: 1) the US version of Help! was released before Rubber Soul, 2) both albums are Beatles albums, 3) both albums contain sitar’s, 4) the sitar’s on Help! sound like a night in an Indian restaurant, 5) the sitar on Rubber Soul sounds artistic, 6) your original comment on Parlogram auctions was 100% correct, 7) we really need to extradite Prince Andrew to the US, 8) Benny Hill was a genius, 9) the US Help! is wonderfully quirky, 10) thanks for giving us the Magical Mystery Tour album

...as Charlie Brown would say, 'Good grief!'

Another cool FACT: The Kinks "See My Friends" featured the first example of Indian-style drone in rock , 4 months before Norwegian Wood. It also blends actual Indian style and raga better than Norwegian Wood. Also The Kinks 60's LP's are awesome and very underrated compared to the Beatles.

I can't believe all the flak you had to endure from all those degenerates! As much as I didn't really enjoy the American Help album growing up here in Canada in the 80's, (The instrumentals spoiled it for me) I do appreciate and respect that it was the first to have sitars on it! Keep shutting these idiots down Robert!

I am a BEATLES fan since 1981 when i was 14 years old and i find the whole situation hilarious !!! what utter nonsense to get stirred up by something so trivial !!!!!!

So sorry about your Mom, Robert. I know how hard that is to go through. You both have our empathy. ❤

It's truly nuts you got that kind of response for a totally innocuous (and true) comment. I was 13 years old when that movie came out and I bought the album soon after I saw it , still have it. I like to listen to the whole thing , instrumentals and all , as it brings back the time and what it was like when it was happening. It was more of a movie souvenir here at the time , with some great new Beatles tunes. One more funny little fact : George Harrison became interested in playing sitar while filming "Help" after hearing some of the music from I believe the restaurant scene / sequence.

Great stuff. This man should be on morning radio on a rock station.

I agree with you too. You just stated a fact! The US Help album does feature the SITAR.... you're damn right!! 👍😎

george harrison even said that there where sitars on set during the filming of help and he picked it up and played it and fell in love with sitar.he even heard the american mix and said it was neat

The session guitar player who played on the intro to Help also did the guitar riff to the James Bond theme song from Goldfinger. I forgot his name but he appeared on Pawn Stars trying to sell his 63 Stratocaster for 80 grand.

Yes, Robert... Logic and people - this does not mix well. Keep up the good work. :)

you are a hoot! love it!

Very true Robert. In fact, George Harrison himself said that he became interested in Indian music while working on the Help film where there were scenes with Indian musicians playing the Sitar. I always thought that the US Help album was unique in that it was the first to have Indian music on it long before Love You Too, The Inner Light and Within You Without You. I was glad you pointed this out too and you definitely didn't deserve the silly reactions you got on Parlogram Auctions page.

That's terrible about your mother. I'm deeply sorry to hear it. My oldest sister just passed away. She had dementia for years. It's a rough way to go for everybody.

Hi Robert. I enjoyed the video. I used to think I was a hardcore Beatles fan until I discovered the Internet and went to a few Beatles conventions. I discovered that there are some people out there whose only reason to live is The Beatles. (I took a Beatles trip to England many years ago and one fan removed 2 bricks from a walkway to take back to America because a Beatle may have stepped on them. Crazy!!!) I've found out the hard way that if one dares to say anything even remotely negative about The Beatles or anything that goes against what is accepted as "common knowledge", they will suffer a backlash. That's why I rarely add a comment to any of The Beatles discussions in the FB groups that I belong to. In fact, I've often thought about dropping out of these groups because the attitudes of some of the members are ruining the whole Beatles thing for me. I'm wondering if the KISS Army is like that too? Anyway, to get back to your video, your comment is 100% correct regarding the U.S. "Help!" album. Keep the videos coming!

you are technically correct^ by the way the accurancy and knowledge of polygram auctions is crazy^

The instrumental gave me an introduction to orchestra music when I was very young and more open minded to different sounds.I love this album and its still a favorite of mine.I wish it had included the Barber of Seville.

actually the sitars in the movie (restaurant scene) woke George's interest in india !!! he said that in an interview as far as I know.

If you've got the Benny Hill set, you'll do me. !

Some people have too much time on their hands😛.

Yeah those comments were ridiculous. I find it funny when people get angry over facts. I can never wrap my head around it.

The Benny Hill Show & Thriller are both in my top 10 for favorite tv shows of all-time.

Quirky fact Beatles got their name from the Film the Wild Ones, in which the girls going round with the biker gang were called Beatles(well maybe,maybe not)

It's really funny how with internet there is so much more facts and information, but people are contesting facts with opinions ... or resolve to schoolyard insults

George was influenced to take up the Sitar when he saw the sitar player in the movie playing the instrument. So if there wasn't any sitar in the movie, Norwegian Wood wouldn't have any sitar on it.

I’d still rather argue about The Beatles than politics...

This is so damn hilarious! Just goes to show ya how butt hurt some Beatle fanatics get when someone else figures out something they didn’t about their beloved heroes! I’m a Beatles fan and I actually found your “quirky “ little comment pretty interesting ! Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️

Way to go robert funny video there are a lot of jokers out there who don't do their research

Chill out people calling someone's moms name they never met is stupid I like the Beatles but good grief ridiculous getting all pissy over music history I love d your response great show

There's some real jackasses out there in the comments at times, whether they're delusional, irrational and/or just plain stupid.. Just try to ignore 'em. 😅 Oh well, they sure make for some entertainment I suppose! 😜 You're absolutely right though and I think you phrased everything properly.. Some people just refuse to accept the facts. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@10:48 Paul actually played the skin flute on Thank You Girl…

It's those people's problem that they felt they had their buttons pushed, not Robert's!

The truth hurts. Lol

Green label was temporary here in 🇨🇦 it changed to red (same design)then mid 70s it was solid salmon colour

Yo 😻! What a strange troll story. You are 100% accurate. Sorry to hear about those wanker trolls are trying to prove the world is a great big onion.

The CULT in the "Help!" film is from INDIA, where INDIAN music -- on SITAR -- originates.

Here's a quirky Beatles fact - Mark Chapmans voice is on an album that was in the British charts. EMF (who had a hit single with 'Unbelievable') used a sample of his voice where he quotes the first line of John Lennons Watching The Wheels on their album Schubert Dip. Yoko Ono objected and the sample was removed from later copies of the album.

Hi Robert, i am a huge Beatles (and a huge fan of their solo projects) but seriously mate, most Beatles fans are just so pathetic in Beatle-ology, they are pompus, pretentious, arrogant and more often than not ignorant of other people's views and opinions of anything Beatles related, its like theyre a protected species. in fact, on my previous channel (before it was hacked and deleted) i ranked the Beatles studio albums and did not have "abbey road" or "sgt peppers" as my #1 album, the abuse i copped for that decision was incredible even though i gave my reasons as to why i ranked the albums the way i did anyway, good on you for your comments revealing a little known fact about The Fab Four

I've found that the vinyl community gets all bent out of shape over nothing, so quick to flip out over anything. Great video and very interesting. Settle down, just a quirky little fact. Rock On.

That is just WRONG! I am so sorry that someone had to insult you that horrible way! God love your mama! She is so very much better than this person is!! Facts be facts!! I appreciate your facts… they don’t have to listen to your channel either!! A real Beatle fan would never behave that way! Imagine what John and George, Paul and Ringo would think!😢

Another quirky fact about the US Help album is more or less like the "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack. only difference is all the songs are on side 1 and the orchestral soundtrack is on side 2... they probely should've done that to the US Help album maybe.

I hope those people found a safe space Lol

To quote another KZfaq channel, facts don't care about your feelings!

I am not offended by quirky facts I love them social media is so sensitive

Love Me Do would have been much improved if it featured a sitar solo.

Your mama is a radio consultant? That’s just downright mean… Nobody’s mom is that bad, come on man…😂

So funny 😂 😂 😂

Haha, and I thought it's going to be a boring Beatles video! :D The bigger the band, the crazier its dedicated fans are. Beatles especially. You don't want to make an error on a Beatles album at Discogs. They will eat you alive. The comment about Dire straits was mean though. Pompous probably, but generally tame.

I can't even begin to understand why someone would get upset because of some small piece of info. People are weird. In social media, they're weirder.

Fucking hilarious

"Sounds" like those fans actually don't have that album, but really do need Help.

I have a red label 70s copy of rubber soul. The song list is completely different than my 90s CD version. And different than the new vinyl pressing.

some people say stupid things. the North American Help album had Beatles songs mixed with soundtrack music The sitar was probably used to make the sound track sound more exotic because the movie takes place in exotic places. Uk Help had more good songs. North American Help had a nicer cover.

You know guys if it wasn't for the beatles making movies I dont think Indian music would have even been considered on beatles albums. george said that hearing the sitars on help he would never have thought to pick up a sitar and get into Indian music and playing indian type music on the rubber soul album

Quite doubtful it was English people, we're far too polite. On a side note, you're absolutely right. It's a shame that Help! is such a badly recorded album whether it is a UK or US pressing. Andrew from Parlogram Auctions recommended the De Agostini version of Help! which was released in 2017 as the best sounding copy. I bought one and he is absolutely on the money. I was starting to despair that a half decent sounding version was ever going to appear.

The next thing you know is that Bernard Purdie secretly played the cowbell on early Beatles tracks predating Honky Tonk Womans and We're an American Band

Ooooo! Dire Straits dis! Big guns indeed.

“Fans” get so defensive when something is brought up that they didn’t have any knowledge of!

Your correct sîr

First Beatles album with sitars on it? Of course it was on the US Beatles Help! Totally correct Robert. That is so right, that it being open to a silly debate is extremely ridiculous and absurd. You could almost hear Graham Chapman's The Colonel saying to them "Stop that! It's silly!" But then incels, and losers, and self professed music fanatics are that way, they love useless deadlocked non arguments that they fantasize they had "won" when the truth spits them in the eye they get mad as a box of frogs, and is better to avoid interacting with their foolish behaviour. They do not enjoy their miserable lives and want everybody to suffer for it too. I have found the worst of these species in Pink Floyd fanatics, they are boring beyond belief and also lack a sense of humour (so unlike the band), and have all kinds of mythologies about true meaning of songs and secret messages from their albums that even Charles Mason's disciples should be green with envy.

Is a sitar like a keytar?

Payton

Rookie question here but what is a sitar ?

As far as "accepting that reality," the Beatles themselves said it best: There's nothing you can see that isn't shown.... There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you'remeant to be. It's easy!

"Lady Madonna" by clean-cut McCartney is about a . . . "single mother".

I am slightly more than a casual Beatles fans but I have to say, Beatles fans all over the internet are a one of a kind breed of fan. There is no fan group that comes close. An overall odd bunch.

If I comment am I accepting your reality 🤔 Also I'm Cornish which is like English but better,😲,and frankly I'm not that bothered about sitar usage.

I like to tell people that Echo & The Bunnymen are my favorite Liverpool band. A certain segment of Beatles fandom has no sense of humor about such things.

Are the sitars on the film score music on side 2? Then I also would say this was for the movie, which had Indian influence on it, but that the Beatles themselves used the sitar for the first time on Rubber Soul. Sounds like you are purposely making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Bye the way ignore the keyboard Nazi's.

Beatle nerds are a crazy bunch lol

People really get upset over this? I think it's a great bit of trivia

The no is if you know the American help when you say sitsronhelp weknow thatwhenyousay theslbumhelp &sitar we know it’s ‘ the song/another hard days night that has an Indian theme for background ofa film scean

Beatles fans can't accept they are not the be all of music. They are also NOT rock!

People

Hahahahaahaahhahaahahahah!

You know, it's the same thing as stating "vinyl is an inferior format" (which is a fact). These out of touch middle aged vinyl wankers do NOT accept that reality LOL! - Red

Fact: there are no fucking centaurs on ANY Beatles album.

You're wrong! The narrator played sitar BEFORE he found the clothes and AFTER the Beatles Story. Duh!

what a quirky video.

My husband wrote a book on the music of The Beatles that was published in 1984…”The Music of The Beatles” (imagine that!). He had explained to me even before 1984 how George’s interest was piqued when he first viewed a sitar on the set of “Help!” And was intrigued…which led him to use one on “Norwegian Wood”.

People who generate these defensive remarks are a minority of your viewers. They love to pick arguements. You'll never please everyone 100 percent. PS -- The working title of the movie Help was originally called Eight Arms to Hold You.

Is this kerfuffle more about air-headed Beatle fans or the gross negativity of social media in general?

The way you take the records out with your fingers and touch them upsets me. If you do that to my records I will refer to the profession of your mother.

You're dealing with deeply held tenets of religious belief when you deviate from received ideas about The Beatles. I caught hell for saying the cover of Revolver is a bit crap, and Voorman wasn't even Lennon's first choice.
