To be fair by this point, if you know anything about what they’d done and how much work they were doing on their “golden treadmill” around they world (not to mention just the level of fame), any producer would have more than tolerated their excesses.. after all please please me (the LP not the single) was recorded in one 18 hour recording session. As much as any band, and certainly more than the “manufactured” groups they paid their dues.
+David Kennedy - These guys were the Darlings of EMI. They could screw around all they wanted in the studio. The Beatles didn't need to get the songs down in a rehearsal room and then get in the studio to record in order to save money - they pretty much had unlimited studio time.

At THAT point in time they could barely get anything done...

Hahaha! Check it out, at around 13:00 John disappears from the studio. When he returns he is coughing. Then you hear Paul say, "You got a bit left?" Then Paul leaves. When he returns he says, "I' just got in from Olympia, I lit the torch." I am betting that they were puffing on the jazz cigarrette. Now, of course, I could be wrong. But I'm not. .
excellent bit of detective work. john's mellow humor, and paul's energy in sync with john, were circumstantial evidence that could not be refuted. but that's the smoking gun.
I think you’re correct too. I’ve been to Abbey Road, I wonder where “Olympia” was exactly. From what I’ve read about attitudes and legalities of the time that “Olympia” would’ve needed to be a rather private little spot.
This is obvious that its Harrisons song "think for yourself" Harrison seems to be having a hard time reeling in Lennon and Mcartney to behave but I must admit Lennons antics are at times hilarious.
it's closer to a comedy album than a podcast but it's essentially the same as a podcast. Dana Carvey should get involved for doing pick up and AVR shit. You could make a seriously incredible comedy product out of the beetles scraps..... This should be animated!
Well yeah, they did write all those timeless amazing songs. Those timeless amazing songs did not magically spring into existence, the songs needed to be hashed out. This was George's song, and George's songs were always suppressed, due to the dynamic Lennon/Mcartney duo. These priceless out takes are an incredible insight to their creative process. Any one of the Beatles brain-farts have more talent than Kanye and the computer loop rap crap that passes for music today.
It was effortless because session players and ghostwriters in fact made most of it, as was the standard for all major acts at that time. You think 30 days of this clownshow is how Rubber Soul was made, from virtually nothing? Alright, got a bridge to sell ya then.
John finds the solution (for Think For Yourself) they finally used at 1:00, but didn't recognize it worked until going through more "wrong" answers. We probably want to think that those brilliant new sounds fell into to place from "genius" when in fact they were just clawing through the weeds and bogs like the rest of us but kept going in new directions. The long "boot camp" in Hamburg established the value of clawing through all the musical rubbish till you find something new and recognize its value. It's cool to listen to how the gears turned. The process sounds so normal to any start up business.
How the f..k did they ever get anything finished? But Holy S..t Im glad they did.I was 14, in 9th grade when they hit the U.S. My life is a Beatles medley.Favorite band of ALL time PERIOD!!
"How the f..k did they ever get anything finished?" Why, same way all major acts got anything finished in those days of course: ghostwriters, and session musicians! Like Lennon said, The Beatles are a myth.
0:42 George: That chord. Play that- That's- *Paul Starts puking* *John and George start singing* *Paul continues to vomit, disgusted of his bandmates vocals*
Man, these studio outtakes are a guitar player's dream! Really, the dream of any music-lover! I could listen to these for hours on end...in fact, I do! "It could be there, or it couldn't. Where? There...or it couldn't." Well said, John.
So true, absolute proof they crafted their song little by little, many times changing the entire feel and even the meter of the song in the recording session. I just wish I would have been the proverbial fly on the wall !
@@straycat7247 which Beatles fan wouldnt want to?? I would want to be a fly on the wall when they made their experimental music eg the revolver album sessions... it would be so cool to see how they made the sounds for that album w all that weird mixing/ instruments/ concepts etc...😍😍
To say that daft conversations wouldn't go on during their sessions is daft. By fall '65' they would have the studio for weeks or months. They were still young and clowning about, because they could. But when you hear them do 3 part harmony.....Wow. NOBODY sounded like them. They didn't use headphones for recording in the studio until Revolver, so you can hear the monitor playback as they overdub. Classic Beatle chatter. I wish there was more.
Absolutely. It occurred to me that by this time, even with all the smoking, these guys had a *lot* of lungs underneath them just from lots and lots of experience over the course of a few years. And you're right - when they hit those three-parts it's WOW.
It is so nice to hear the Beatles in their own chaos and disorder, knowing that it was all part of the great success that they had in a decade span of togetherness..... a big THANK YOU for the upload....
Beatles outtakes and studio interplay are the best during the creative process. Greatest pop composers ever. I wonder if Paul and Ringo listen to these recordings sessions?
6:42 Paul McCartney sings "Aqua Marina" by Gary Miller and then he keeps spoofing it with the vocal "How come you fuck up everything that you do!?" 15:59 Paul and George sing "the Woody Woodpecker Show" song
14:55 George Martin: Here it comes! Lennon: PAUL! (foot steps from the other side of the studio) McCartney: I just got back from Olympia. I lit the torch.
George Martin is most definitely the 5th beatle. Hearing how he can get just as silly as "the lads" makes it easy to see why they worked together so well. That and he was a pretty kick as s producer. What an aligning of the stars.
11.57 John: "Do you want to hold a penis, do-wah-woo"...funny! Poor George, those two stuffed around on his rather excellent songs. BTW, Think For Yourself is from Rubber Soul, rec. Oct 65. Thanks for uploading!
kswannie sung to the tune of "Do you want to know a secret" no less. All this work for one line of one of their more obscure songs. A forgotten ad lib by JL that was pure gold. "Do you want to hold a penis". He must have said these comments all the time.
These guys were under incredible pressure to finish an entire album in, like, one month. And, they kept cracking jokes. What an amazing combination of talent and mental equilibrium!
This is hilarious. You can tell that they were "goons disciples" - it comes forth from their humour. Particularily funny when putting on posh accents. But I could also tell that they were a bit condescending toward George, who was seriously trying to get on with the song.
George Martin was recording this chat session for possible release on a fan club record. Needless to say, there wasn't much 'straight' material to put on a record, and it was abandoned. Thankfully, it was preserved so we can hear it.
Yes, it is. Now do you think it's realistic that they developed that, along with the rest of pretty much this entire album, from NOTHING, in only 30 days? Remember how everyone used to think that The Beach Boys played everything on Pet Sounds, but then it turned out that session players did it all, and all the boys did was sing? Yeah, that's what happened with these sessions too.
@@youtubeman78937 The Beach Boys were primarily a vocal group, known more for their vocalizations and harmonies than their instrumentation. An entirely different story than the Beatles, whom time and testimony have shown to be excellent musicians.
Sidthing the Beatles were great song writers but none were, nor claimed to be, great musicians. Anyone who can play a guitar passably well can tell you that the songs, ingenious as they may be in many cases, are relatively easy to play. I could play most of them back in the day. So why hire studio musicians to play them? There is also a distinct development in musical terms through the band's compositional work, and this may even be evidence of a conspiracy to improve pop music.
Their creative process could never be recreated. Genuine guys!! I mean, look at their output. Whatever they did worked, for ten years, and it will last humanity the rest of our time on this planet. So drink it up now peedles.
Yes, as a producer you'd have to have extreme patience with them, and yet we're supposed to believe that THIS is how they created Rubber Soul from scratch, in only 30 days. No, it's called ghostwriters, and session musicians. The Beatles are a lie.
And yet we're supposed to believe that THIS is what they did for 30 days to create Rubber Soul from basically nothing. Yeah right, session players wrote and recorded those albums for the most part, The Beatles just sang in those 30 days we're told it took them to make the album. EMI and George Martin weren't dummies, 30 days of this clownshow is not how they would go about producing era defining albums.
This was recorded in case they could use something for that year's Xmas record. When Paul said he came back from Olympia and let the torch, he was saying code for torching a joint.
Remember the bit in the movie Yellow Submarine when they arrive in Pepperland and they find some dude ( I think the mayor or something like that) underneath the appels that were thrown onto him in the beginning? Well, the acapella little song they sing to cheer him up, is this little bit at 10:59, taken from this recording sessions.
I get something in me head, and all the walls of Rome can't stop me... You see Rocky Marciano, last night? I just got in from Olympia...I lit the torch... I will be pleased to see the earthmen, disintegrated... I'm sorry, sometimes I feel less than useless at these sessions...
This WAS the first album they made after Dylan turned them on to pot. It was also the first album they took complete control over album artwork and the recording process. Compare album covers for Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper to the earlier covers. And the MUSIC! Their creativeness exploded. Their only limitation was the technical side of recording- trying to get on tape what they were hearing in their heads.
Sorry, but not true. It has been said that HELP was filmed through a haze of marijuana smoke. (previous to Rubber Soul). Just hoping to clarify the info. Thanks.
@@markholland5393 Wrong, Bud. Beatles for Sale was the first album to be made after Dylan turned them onto pot, not Help! OR Rubber Soul. Although granted, it was until either of those two albums that the influence of both Dylan AND the magic herb he turned them onto really started to become prevalent in their writing.
Poor George. He just wanted to get his bloody song recorded. John and Paul never took his songs seriously. This one's got some of the best vocal harmonies they ever recorded, nonetheless.
They never took anything seriously. There was a lot of fooling around even with their own songs. They still got it all done. If they really were so uninterested in George's songs do you think they really would have been able to do over 100 takes of Not Guilty later on?
George Martin had the patience of a saint .
Sounds like he actually joins in a bit at 12:50 when John goes to the bathroom
I think the 'background steeped in comedy' probably helped :)
I guess Im kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch new movies online?

Think for Yourself was recorded 11/8/1965. John was 25 years old, Paul was 23, George was 22, Ringo was 25.
They were way ahead of their years.

I can't believe this all happened within 19 mins. If I was there the whole the day, I'd be deceased from laughing too hard
The takes are edited out
Lots of edits here.
And yet we're supposed to believe that THIS is what they did for 30 days to create Rubber Soul from basically nothing. Yeah right, session players wrote and recorded those albums for the most part, The Beatles just sang in those 30 days we're told it took them to make the album. EMI and George Martin weren't dummies, 30 days of this clownshow is not how they would go about producing era defining albums.

This was recorded in case they could use something for that year's Xmas record.
When Paul said he came back from Olympia and let the torch, he was saying code for torching a joint.
“It could be there and it couldn’t.”
“Could be where?”
“There. Or it couldn’t.”
The Beatles could have been the Monty Python players. Such absurd British humour!!😁😁
I love this so much, especially the religious bit with those accents. “Why such fervor?!” 😂
So glad that I am old , or I would have missed this amazing time !!
I remember the very 1st time I heard them, (on a pocket transistor radio )
They're pretty high, I think! Great to hear John learning his part from George, for e.g. John was the 'craziest', high or not.
Just amazing. Thank you.
Shame, more of this isn't available.
These guys were hilarious. This is great audio!
13:59 George: *sighs* Little bit left.
Remember the bit in the movie Yellow Submarine when they arrive in Pepperland and they find some dude ( I think the mayor or something like that) underneath the appels that were thrown onto him in the beginning? Well, the acapella little song they sing to cheer him up, is this little bit at 10:59, taken from this recording sessions.
I get something in me head, and all the walls of Rome can't stop me...
You see Rocky Marciano, last night?
I just got in from Olympia...I lit the torch...
I will be pleased to see the earthmen, disintegrated...
I'm sorry, sometimes I feel less than useless at these sessions...
The tapes were left running hoping to catch some material for a Christmas album. They did not usually record this much chatter.
They're just a bunch of guys who just happened to be absolutely brilliant.
The pot album
My favorite Beatles record. Love these lads
The British version, of course.
11:06 John was feeling his self
The rewind/forward/drop in methods were so slow then. Imagine these digital days, how many albums they would’ve written!
"I think I MIGHT have it now...." These bits for me, are like offering a strung out junkie a fix......E
Despite all the chit-chat and herbal enhancements, the evolution of the song is clear.
Never heard this 😮 im having a smoke with headphones on and it's like I'm in the corner of the room with them 😎
This WAS the first album they made after Dylan turned them on to pot. It was also the first album they took complete control over album artwork and the recording process. Compare album covers for Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper to the earlier covers. And the MUSIC! Their creativeness exploded. Their only limitation was the technical side of recording- trying to get on tape what they were hearing in their heads.
Sorry, but not true. It has been said that HELP was filmed through a haze of marijuana smoke. (previous to Rubber Soul). Just hoping to clarify the info. Thanks.
@@markholland5393 I believe Dylan turned them onto pot during their first tour of America in 1964.
@@sixtieskid062 there’s too many differing accounts, some put it at Spring 1964, August 64 or even October 64
Help not Rubber Soul.
@@markholland5393 Wrong, Bud. Beatles for Sale was the first album to be made after Dylan turned them onto pot, not Help! OR Rubber Soul. Although granted, it was until either of those two albums that the influence of both Dylan AND the magic herb he turned them onto really started to become prevalent in their writing.
10:56 This Think For Yourself outtake was used to unbonk Lord Mayor in yellow submarine
Poor George. He just wanted to get his bloody song recorded. John and Paul never took his songs seriously. This one's got some of the best vocal harmonies they ever recorded, nonetheless.
They never took anything seriously. There was a lot of fooling around even with their own songs. They still got it all done. If they really were so uninterested in George's songs do you think they really would have been able to do over 100 takes of Not Guilty later on?
And I LOVE the fuzz bass. Wonder if George recorded that too.
It's just lads having a laugh while they work
They lived in studios, so hard to stay focused while finding the details. It must been a different energy at the full takes.
Paul on fuzz bass. It’s in the credits on the sleeve.
I thank them for not having throw all of this away( chat and Laugh ) ( Songs too)❤
Marina, Aqua Marina...from 'Stingray'! and we had a "Supercar" reference with Troy, the lads obviously watched a lot of T.V at the time
