The mixers brought up a
track too quickly.
Originally, John sang the "I
need a fix" line twice, but
the first was supposed to be
left out in the release. The
end of the first "down,"
though, ended up on the
master |

High pitched titter from the
"female" backing voices.
Caught unawares by an early
drop in? * NEW * This has
been attributed to John
saying "shoot" or "sh*t" ...

The tempo changes into
something like 6/8 here, but
Ringo continues in 4/4. Not
sure how this happened. Two
possibilities -- they were
doing something clever with
arrangements by overlaying 2
rhythms. Or, at the time the
drum were recorded they
intended it to be 4/4 and
changed their minds later.
It's clever. (There's a
Queen song "The Miracle"
where the song ends and goes
into a guitar/bass/drums
solo fade out, and a piece
fades in over this at a
different tempo and knits at
key points (the start and
end) so that it transits to
a slower tempo without you
really noticing.)
In the light of the "Mother
superior" bit, which has an
odd beat pattern of 3 6 3 7
3 6 3 7 3 6 3 7 beats, it
may be deliberate andclever. |
