So 3 years would be 67 or technically some time in 66, so it would have more than likely been Billy when he started cutting it

The story is that Larry Knecthel played bass on this track. It's a Precision bass, and Joe's signature bass was his 1960 Jazz Bass. Regardless, these guys sue knew what they were doing. One of my favorite tracks from my teens. Bought the single in 1965.

Why didn't the group's drummer play the part? Bet he wasn't happy about it!

NEZ! :) !!!!! KIm

1987 Demo

Only mcguinn played on this because he was at their level, the rest of the byrds weren’t.

Ive always been amazed how only 2 guys singing can sound like 5 guys singing.

It's astounding to hear that the iconic bass riff at the intro didn't appear until Take 7 and how much it improved the song. Wikipedia credits Larry Knechtel as the bass player. McGuinn's playing through all those takes was flawless. Thanks so much for saving and posting these tapes.

Sounds like the record to me! Must be Mcguinn on the 12 Ric..?

Did anyone happen to salvage the tapes from Gary Puckett and the Union Gap 1967-70 when Columbia Records was discarding all these recording sessions back in 1989???Gary Puckett said they were under the control of Columbia and had to use The Wrecking Crew on their first two albums. Hal Blaine played on many of their hits including “Woman, Woman the first song Gary Puckett recorded for Columbia and Young Girl and many others!!

Rest in peace, Terry Melcher

hes right about split ends yall

Blah-dah-dee-dah-dah!!

Thanks for posting. Turtles version is off the chart.

I didn't realize recording a song took so much work and patience. Impressive.

I watched them when they first came out and I don't remember this episode. Was it a special? 😮😮😮

Davy in plaintive mood with Hal.Nice track.Rog.Pacific Sunset Records( LA).

Since Hal Blaine was mainly a session drummer, with the "Wrecking Crew", was the Rickenbacker 12 string, here, played by another guitarist in "the Crew, or is it Roger McGuinn?

First take, WOW. Nothing but pure talent from super talented people. No computers or "magic" machines!!!

Mary, Mary, why ya buggin...

🤟😎🤙

Great Hal Blaine.

SENSACIONAL.

Obrigado Steve por está preciosidade. Viva Hal Blaine.

Uh...I'm kinda glad that they turned that tempo back down. You don't question Hal Blaine.

I wonder who else was playing on this track

9:35 "...Someone fucked up." Didn't see that coming lol.

Hal played on 5 consecutive record of the year Grammy songs. His contribution to our music was incredible.

Does anybody know who is producing the session? I know that it isn't Brian, but he's giving instructions to the musicians the same way that Brian did on many of the Beach Boys sessions. Just curious. That bass slide at the beginning, man. 😘

Love ❤️ little Richard

I'm in heaven right now!

Great Hal Blaine.

SENSACIONAL.

Im gonna guess the Beatles were run by MI5, and Yoko was his handler. 🤪

Love this version!

I wonder what take was finally used.

This was the sound that launched me.

He came after Paul. Plus he’s probably union who goes to the lodge

.If you go to the last ten minutes of my interview with Glen in 2001, I talk with him about this song. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZ2HjZqer-CVfYU.html
