I’ve only now noticed something different in the new 2018 mix of this: Giles brought way up several seconds of John’s saxophone-mouthpiece squeals right near song’s end, during Ringo’s climactic three cymbal smashes and all throughout his blister complaint. I heard it played a couple of times last week and thought “what? have I missed that for years, was that always there?”
The following people thank vonbontee for this post:
Richard, Rube, kelicopterGEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

Offline There is the common argument whether Helter Skelter or “I Can See For Miles” by The Who – the former being written in competition of The Who – I can say now that THE BEATLES WON!
“I Can See For Miles” is sung more lower and tries to be ominous, but Helter Skelter is 4 minutes of literal screaming from Paul McCartney , all the while sound effects and drumming and whining guitars make it sound like the apocalypse, and even influenced a serial killer (Charles Manson) to kill Sharon Tate.
The original Heavy Metal song is not to be beaten by anything before it!
