The Beatles will never leave you nor forsake you ;)

Jon Howard Amen.

Pure timelessness and The Beatles linked us all as one to a new awareness and consciousness sorely needed. She will come back again....don't Worry! Help is on the way!

so true! maria in sweden.

Toby Preston You honestly believe that the concepts behind those songs hadn't formed throughout his early lifespan? Generally songs are always brewing within these types of people. They just take a little beating to get into adulthood.

vaporfarts I'm referring to the leaps they made in the sophistication of their music & songwriting. Listen to "Love Me Do" then the ending of Abbey Road & that's what I'm talking about.

Tim Parker My comment was directed at Toby preston. Sry for the confusion.

George Martin's musical expertise helped fill the gaps between the Beatles' raw talent and the sound they wanted to achieve. Most of the Beatles' orchestral arrangements and instrumentation (as well as frequent keyboard parts on the early records) were written or performed by Martin in collaboration with the band Tim Parker

They changed the world and changed me at the same time. Nothing was ever the same again.

well this technically isnt ringo so..

On this particular song and USSR, I believe yes. Aren't you very clever /sarcasm off. You are quite good at missing the point. Thanks for nothing.

my apologies, just wanted to make a little joke, meant no offense

Have you read the article about them everyone talks about on youtube? Go to TruthContest►com, open ~The Present~ then skip to page 59 and read what it says.

@@JohnnyUtah71I hope you calmed down after 10 years ZAMN!!!

you'd better believe it baby!

i agree

Hannu Mäkynen Yeah, agreed, there are only a minority of bands that just have that "magic" and are levels above the others to show their vast superiority. I read this book a while ago: "With a Little Help from My Friends: The Making of Sgt. Pepper" -- amzn.to/1J6ZZ1V -- it's a technical aspect of how they made this album which is great from beginning to when the needle returns.

Hannu Mäkynen I think Pink Floyd did too (Goodbye Blue Sky, for example)

Hannu Mäkynen I JUST posted the same comment regarding "I Want You/She's So Heavy". There is ONLY one band who could have produced these tracks in 1968 & 1969.

I hear ya man!, I remember my little transistor AM radio where your had to pull the antenna out.

1960jack TheKaffeeKlatsch Never experienced the 60s. But I can imagine how great that feeling felt. You just don't get those kinds of things today. :)

Mihaly Lukacs...I was there...Believe me they were incredible.

Mihaly Lukacs Now the only thing WE hear on the radio is the Happy Song, which gets annoying as it is played every 10 minutes.

I rode with my girlfriend in a VW in 1966.....

Its not available to me Alan George. Many of the videos on KZfaq from The UK will not play in the US for some reason.

thats a shame

Alan George , I'm sorry ! I'll try the same artists and song on another post/venue . ❇;-) 

Yes, my master

This song certainly has a lot of depth. The subtle changes, accentuations throughout it make it a gem.

Oh, background vocals are impeccable.

Or sometimes, down Penny Lane? :)

that's cool man.

Far out! My parents still have the Sgt. Pepper album on vinyl and is in decent condition. I wonder when that was purchased...

jonegger1983 Sgt. Pepper was released in June 1967 in the U.S. I had a chance to buy it while on leave in Tokyo, Japan in July 1967, but didn't 'cause I knew my brother would buy it. Wish I did now, as it probably would be a collector's item.

I bought the white album that early too, but wore it out, then it got lost along the way. Same thing with the Mono Sgt Pepper that I had including the psychedelic paper inner sleeve designed by The Fool.

Think I know where you are coming from. Was born in 1952, feel so lucky to have experienced this era of music. Beatles, Stones, Kinks and the whole british wave of bands was amazing. Saw Hendrix in 1968 and that seemed to change everything. Never saw the Beatles, a little too young.

David Henderson He was the one i was thinking of. I am quite envious, needless to say. Wasn't old enough to see those people, but am old enough to have heard it on the radio all the time when small.

You forgot The Grateful Dead. :)

I was born in the 60' and agree with you about not being able to experience this music when it came out.

Bryan Doyle the drugs? .... you didn't miss anything .... they still taste the same!

Yes they are the greatest band ever even all these years later.

+Andy Wheatley In the pop music, nothing is so big like The Beatles...

Check out TruthContest website and read "The Present". There's a whole chapter about The Beatles and their magic :)

but are you an adult is the question???

Me too! Happy birthday fam!

Thanks You and same to you!!

+Andrew Schiff 23 rd of June 1968 "Hey Jude" 1 hit

Well put regarding the interplay of musical and vocal timing interplays...this song helped me realize why people say Chris Cornell, and to a lesser degree all of Soundgarden, were heavily influenced by the Beatles.

+Nestor Pigrounet, yeah Nestor I didn't know that until I read Ringo's biography. Always thought it was Ringo playing!

**I think it was mostly Paul's drumming we're hearing...

I'm very thankful I stumbled on this...

This is great.

Thank you, jesus, for showing me the Internet truths

Ham Bob jesus is dead

archie977 Wow...so edgy and deep. Shocking, too!

It is, it's not you:) One of my favorite (actually MY favorite off the White Album). It's absolutely mesmerizing.

They were not of this earth!!!!! If Perfection ever existed in a group it was these guys. How is it humanly possible to write SO MANY CLASSIC SONGS?. They were "touched". Every conceivable characteristic & nuance of an EXTRAORDINARY MUSICAL PHENOMENON was present in The Beatles: Great Image, Fantastic Looks, Intelligence, Articulate, Qwerky, Original, Different. Stylish, Charisma and charm you couldn't touch, Artistic, Personalities that were so completely individual, yet as group complimented each other perfectly. And if this wasn't enough fairly humble about their achievements and never forgot where they came from. Even the greatest mind in Pop Music marketing today couldn't even begin to dream about putting together a group like them.

***** Why then did you listen to it troll?

***** LOL

very tough call.....can think of a handful of contenders, well maybe more than a handful.....

I truly rate this.

***** Insightful comment, bro.

I feel the exact same way

what r u kidding me???

Fucknoid Silversmith Not really, no.

Fucknoid Silversmith Hmm... not really.

+DarkOnOneSide Who?

You know the story? Of Prudence?

no

She was a temporary band member, but there's more.

+Shawn Munger Prudence refers to Mia Farrow's sister.

Karloffrules Yes she was,this was written in India, Prudence would rarely interact & preferred to stay in her room,hence the line,Dear prudence,won't you come out to play.

Well... I've been watching a lot of retro from the 60s and 70s, FA Cup Finals and stuff. So yeah.*****

+Naked John It's actually about both for sure. Originally an informal inquiry to Prudence Farrow to get out in about in India. But knowing John Lennon, I'm sure it was about existential awareness as well haha

+Naked John wouldn't it be whose head? Or how much Prudence? Only meant as a noun,or at the discretion of the writer

Interesting :)

+Weapons Education That would Prudence Farrow Mia's Sister

+Joe Gomez Correct, thanks

+Weapons Education Not Mia Farrow, but her younger sister, named Prudence.

+Weapons Education It wasn't her, it was her sister, called Prudence.

+Weapons Education That's interesting. I always thought it was about the girl Prudence who was in the Hard Day's Night film. The lyrics make more sense now.

I agree, im a die-hard metal head but I believe The Beatles were/are the greatest band to ever walk the face of this earth

brandon daniels Stones

brandon daniels You are in the majority of the music world than includes metal. You're probably not the outlier you may believe.

Paul is also playing drums on this song. Ringo was AWOL.

I'm a "paul-guy", but this (among many John songs) is an absolute fav. And yes... Paul was not only one of the best, most prolific songwriters of all time, but arguably the most influential bass players ever (john even said so)

Al Johnson could not agree with you more sir! He is a legendary composer and multi-instrumentalist

I agree with you, altho im more of a "Paul" fan, but he is playing is (other) beloved bass, the rickenbacker...

John Paul George Ringo idiot

John Paul George Ringo stand back, or I'll take a shit on john Lennon's grave.

FaZe with that realllllllllyyyy long username he was cremated

Manar A. I'll still shit on him, he's not even talented :-\ .

FaZe with that realllllllllyyyy long username yeah ok have fun with that buddy

Your gonna LUV it Man. Been there twice and for any Beatles Fan it's HEAVEN!!! Met Pete Best, visited Casbah, Cavern, Mendips(John's Childhood home) Paul's home (laid on his bed!!!!) etc....The feeling is INDESCRIBABLE!!! Enjoy!!!!

Watch on You Tube: "Liverpool F.C.The Kop Crowd" to see the Liverpool they grew up in in 1964 at a "Soccer" Game, my friend. That will show you the spirit then, of Merseyside...

sorry bro, but I laughed!

Mericcup and Jackunzel Shipper Well aren't you privileged.

Mericcup and Jackunzel Shipper - What's your fake name?

poindexter van halen Nightrex.... Yeah. Pretty weird -_-

I have the remastered collection and there's nothing omitted in 'Dear Prudence' ,perhaps you got a bad CD?

maybe so. its rlly weird..

John shoved Yoko down the other 3's throats. He was a coward to just man up and quit so he used Yoko as a weapon. He knew she was a deal breaker being in the studio and he loved it.....because he was a coward. PS.....I love John

Robert Farawell It had nothing to do with a woman... It had everything to do with pressure, expectations, finances, and ownership of the Beatles as a product. Imagine having a marriage with 4 huge personalities and see how long it lasts in that regard alone... Now imagine being told that all the songs you were writing don't even belong to you, because the record company owns them. They were basically kids when they started. The free market world broke up the Beatles ("Its only a Northern [records] song). We were lucky to get the nearly 10 years we did get. Remember the good times, the love, and the lessons. They were only human after all.

Robert Farawell Yoko had very little to do with it. Linda Eastman was more of an influence than Yoko as to their breakup. Mostly, they had had enough of each other.

Allen Klein. Personal and professional growth. Heroin. in that order.

Kyana McCoy Really?, It is the Rolling Stones the only or one of the few exceptions?

Best that ever was! Richard Grimsley

people dont even listen to music from 2000´s or even most of 90´s. Music now a days is made to be listened to and than thrown away.
