1- I could not agree more. A quote from the man himself (you may have heard/read this in Anthology) - "I Am the Walrus is . . . one of my favorite tracks . . . because it's one of those that has enough little bitties going to keep you interested even a hundred years later."a-hard-days-night-john-7
2 - "Sit you down, father; rest you."

This is one of those ...]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2011 16:57:13 +0000 danielcelano on I Am The Walrus http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/i-am-the-walrus/#p27081 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/i-am-the-walrus/#p27081 Wait! I almost forgot. The rhythm track was removed from the mono mix only on "I'm Crying" first and second parts, but one of them was restored when RS6 was made and another was restored when RS25 was made. Right, guys?

I always listen for that at the end of the song for some reason. I love how whoever says it, says it. This song is so awesome. On facebook if I want to post something that has nothing to do with anything they are saying I just post lyrics of the song. They get confused, haha.

If there's one thing about John Lennon that sets him apart from any musician...ever is that he has incredible staying power. This song is the finest example I think because it takes an awful lot of listens to really appreciate how cool and out of this world this track is. Think of one song that is this inventive and weird and yet still manages to stay relatively catchy, I can't think of any. "Oh, untimely death!"

The US "Magical Mystery Tour" album.

Correct. I repeat, use the History Section. If Joe knows anything about what you're saying, it will be there.

But if I've been able to find out something I've probably already put it on the site (or it's on my to-do list).

I'm based in the UK so I don't really have many Capitol releases. Apart from the Capitol box sets I have the original MMT album, though IIRC it doesn't have the extra bar.

An edit of mixes 10 and 22 was then made to create what became known as
remix mono 23. The edit can be heard at 2'02" of mono pressings. It
also had a four-beat introduction, removing two extraneous beats,
although an extra bar before the line "Yellow matter custard" was still
in place at this stage.

 

I think the only place where an extra bar before the line "Yellow matter custard" is located is on the USA single release. Right, Joe?
