Revolver – The Beatles – What’s On The Table
The Perfect Album?
There are few albums that you can call “perfect” in every way. For us, “Revolver” is one of the few that can hold up to such a claim with ease.
We had to film a “What’s On The Table” Episode about it, so let’s kick back and enjoy some music together!
As always, we want to extend the conversation about the record to you guys now! What are your stories, thoughts, memories, and opinions on “Revolver”? Does it mean as much to you as it does to us? Do you have a favourite track on it?
Let’s talk in the comments! 🙂
Mona & Lisa
Since I live in America, my first copy of Revolver didn’t have “I’m Only Sleeping”, “And Your Bird Can Sing” or “Doctor Robert”; so I didn’t hear those songs until years later when the CD was released. My favorite version of “And Your Bird Can Sing” is the one on the The Beatles Anthology 2 where they’re laughing throughout the whole song; I love it and it always makes me happy!
When I was a kid my small town only had a couple stores where we could buy records and mostly 45 rpm singles. So all we listened to were the bigger hits. The LPs were at least $3.00 so they were out of my price range. Anyway I was never too familiar with a lot of the Beatle songs that weren’t big hits. In a way your music is making me go back and listen to all of there songs. It’s easier now because I do have quite a few Beatle albums. Thank you for re-introducing me to the Beatles.
I Mona and Lisa , wow Mona I love your Revolver T-shirt, splendid. The Revolver book, I never saw it, if I see it I will buy it. I like your reactions when you are talking about the songs, Revolver is their greatest album after Rubber Soul in my humble opinion. Anyway I love all their albums. Je l ai achete en 1966 et j etais completement renverse par toutes les chansons. by the way I saw the Fab Four at the Montreal Forum september 8 1964. It was fantastic to see them in person. All the girls were screaming What a night.
School summer holiday August 1966 when I was 11. Went from the midlands to visit my older sister for a few days who lived with two other girls in a rambling old house in North London. We hadn’t got a record player at home so it was a novelty for a 11 year old to be given free access to a record player and the very latest Beatles Single- Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby. I nearly wore the single out in that week!
Mona, Lisa, I had forgotten the cough after the counting in Taxman. I quess you do that always when you listen together to the song.
Hi Mona hi Lisa, Revolver ist auch mein Lieblingsalbum der Beatles. Lieblingstitel ist Good-Day sunshine. Der wurde als Untermalung bei der Anfang der 70er
Jahre im westdeutschen TV ausgestrahlten Langnese-Honigwerbung gespielt. Im Vordergrund stand ein volles Honigglas auf dem Frühstückstisch und im Hintergrund war eine aufgehende Sonne zu sehen und dazu das Intro von Good-Day sunshine Superidee und bestimmt sehr verkaufsträchtig. Teeni Erinnerungen – sehr schön
That’s all for today. – Nice shirt –

This is my most favourite album ever. I was blown away when I first heard it, and it still has that effect on me. I think that, for it’s time at least, it is the most innovative album ever recorded. Nobody else around at the time could have come up with something like this.
I have a clear recollection of hearing Tomorrow Never Knows for the first time, on the radio. It was the first track I heard, and I thought the Beatles had gone insane! I thought the whole album was going to be like that. Of course, I came to realise that the track is a work of genius.
The next track I heard was Eleanor Rigby, again heard on the radio, under the bedclothes late at night. I thought it was quite scary!
As well as playing the solo on Taxman, Paul McC also played lead on The Night Before on the Help soundtrack. Again quite an innovative style of playing at the time. I suspect that Paul was perhaps a little frustrated at George’s limitations, and wanted to move forward with the lead guitar solos. Could this be the start of the fall-out between Paul and George which was evident in the Let It Be film?
I’m surprised you skipped Got To Get You Into My Life in the video. It’s one of my favourite tracks. Just love the brass riffs!
The guitars sound satisfyingly brittle on this album. I believe a lot of compression/EQ, etc were applied, so that the guitar sound is perhaps not what it was when the recording took place, but was done to get a different sound.
I prefer this album to Rubber Soul, which had a rather ‘dry’ sound, I think because of the echo chamber/reverb effect not being used in the way it was in the earlier, ‘poppier’ recordings. This came as a bit of a shock at the time.
For me, the only other album which comes close to this is Pet Sounds, but that’s another story!
Hi Mona and Lisa, Rubber Soul and Revolver are also my favorite Beatle albums. I view them as chapter one and two of a great double album. You two make Beatle songs your own, a rare quality. By the way, it is great to hang out and listen to music with you!
Yellow Submarine was the first single that I ever bought, I was 6 on 23rd Sept 66 and I may have used my birthday money to do so. It was an ideal song for someone of my age and Paul has stated that it was written for children, they could do everything.
Whilst ‘And Your Bird Can Sing’ is not in my top 10 of Beatles’ songs, like you, I find it intriguing and invigorating. My favourite song on Revolver is the quirky ‘I’m Only Sleeping’, I suspect that there are not many people who feel the same way.
Revolver book author Robert Rodriguez is hosting Fab4Con Jam this weekend, from 3pm U.K. time. Some web pages suggest MLT will be among the performers. Are you able to confirm this, please?
I can still remember the first time I’ve heard Eleanor Rigby. I thought it was the best thing ever. I also spent the night watching the Beatles cartoon episode made around the song.
Loved hanging with you ladies listening to Revolver. I’m very impressed with your Beatles background knowledge. One thing I’ve heard is the that Paul and George played guitars in harmony on And Your Bird Can Sing to get the sound. The Beatles tribute band, 1964 – The Tribute, has the George of the group play both lines at the same time – very impressive and fun to watch, easily found on YouTube. My favorite part is Lisa’s acoustic solo on Good Day Sunshine; just remarkable. You ladies can’t help being cool and beautiful and enchanting in every situation. Love MLT and the club!
I bought “Revolver” first in 1986, but it was the American version and so three songs short. And all the missing songs were John´s songs (I´m Only Sleeping, And Your Bird Can Sing and Dr. Robert) so that gives you very a strange track list. Now I of course have a British version too. Few years ago some critics of the Finnish rock magazine “Soundi voted “Revolver” the second best album of all time and it was the highest charted Beatles album on their list, so even better than that eternal #1 “Sgt. Pepper”. What makes “Revolver” special is that it´s same time very coherent but also very versatile. There are straight rock, beautiful ballads, children´s song, Indian raga and psychedelia and somehow the band makes it all make perfect sense and sound natural. That´s the magic of Beatles. My favorite song ? All of them but to name some “Here, There and Everywhere” “And your Bird Can Sing” and “Tomorrow Never Knows”.
Such a fascinating and superlative album. The book must be very interesting.
What a great Friday it was! A fab & groovy table turner and I got my lovely calendar! Friday I’m in love! It’s the Cure to all maladies.
Revolver, so aptly named (they loved a good pun), it hasn’t stopped revolving. I always loved the bright sounds of the Album, no doubt Sgt. Pepper wouldn’t have happened without Revolver, even “For No One” has (IMHO) an Abbey Road medley feel.
All those stories of the lab coats and not being able to place the mics close to the drums are fascinating to me.
This was the first album engineered by Geoff Emerick after Norman Smith moved to producing. The first session was for Tomorrow Never Knows and they came up with the drum loop, apparently the first drum loop at least in a major label. It’s safe to say that drum recording changed forever that day.
As a teenager this album revolved non stop. The pictures show my inherited Uruguayan album. Thankfully Odeon, the South American distributor, by this point was easing up on the heavy translations of the song titles, something they had been doing to disastrous results earlier. Still, they were very stingy on the quality of the jackets and the sleeves were ads. The vinyl did stand the test of time, and what a test this Revolver has been!
This album is to me one of the greatest of all time, so many timeless songs!

This has to be my favorite What’s On The Table,hands down.
It reminds me of when my friend and I start talking Beatles.
Watching your reaction to For No One(I hope you do a cover at some point) is exactly the way I feel when I hear it.As I’ve said before,your cover of Here,There,and Everywhere is absolutley the BEST I have ever heard!! Sir Paul would be Proud.
Looking forward to 2021 and all MLT related endeavors.
Your Music has become a huge part of the Soundtrack of My Life.
Love to you both,and of course Papa Rudi,and Michaela too!
Revolver is one of those that “rotates” on and off as my top favorite album. I never liked it as much when I was young, but I think that goes to the fact I had the American Version, and songs like “Your Bird Can Sing” ended up on the famed Butcher Album. Rubber Soul is its main competitor. Oddly enough, I really like the American version of Rubber Soul. It starts off with “I’ve Just Seen A Face”, which gives the album more of a folk rock feel. I also can’t hear “I’m looking through you” without thinking something is wrong because the CD releases left off the false start, which I still play when I am doing the song on my guitar.It’s how I heard the song for the first 20 plus years of my life.
I initially had a quick listen to this WOTT and then left it for a couple of days and listened again. Even better on second listening. Revolver was a great album from the Beatles and continued their progression and development in writing and recording as you indicate. I am with Lisa with “And Your Bird Can Sing” being my favourite for a long time. My favourites also change over time, but this one is still up there.
I liked your references to your first individual performances on your school exchange as fourteen year olds. However, I do believe Lisa did a solo public performance of probably your first ever original composition, “Alone”, when she was much younger. Thanks for sharing this video. ????❤️
You two are funny. These sessions are fun to watch. I too like how you inserted clips of your performances while referencing a song. Listening to Paul’s piano on Good Day Sunshine and then showing how Lisa “tried” to play it on her guitar is very impressive.
Thanks for all the little tidbits of trivia, like Ringo’s album title suggestion. These fun facts are always interesting. A true testament of a fan’s obsession is their ability to start a conversation with tidbits of trivia.
Did you know….?????
I love all these songs, but if pressed for a favorite it would be Eleanor Rigby. It ha a catchy hypnotic rhythm and the lyrics have a ton of imagery to make one’s mind wander into very Beatlesque scenery. Pure genius. I think it has a similar feel to She’s Leaving.
If your interested, Joe Jackson did a very stripped down cover of Eleanor Rigby on his Summer In The City LP. He also covers Summer In The City. Gee, who wrote that one?
I love Tomorrow Never Knows. I know a lot of Beatle songs from hearing them on the radio, as opposed to having the albums. This is one that has that instant crank it up reaction with fingers flying for the volume knob. Was this the predecessor of Within You, Without You?
I hope everyone had a groovy weekend!

At the first of the video…when you start rocking out to Taxman…brought a huge smile to my face! You two are true embodiments of fun and joy.
I was around when Revolver first came out but still a bit too young to fully appreciate it; that came later when I was in high school and college. The remarkable thing about the Beatle’s music is how stirring and relevant it is even today. Also speaks to how magnificent and important your embracement of their music is to us now – listening to the vinyl is great, but your performances bring it alive.
Another great WOTT; wonderful content and clips of the songs with interesting commentary. Thanks.
Several copies are needed, as the old ones are played to the ground…
A Fabulous album
Here’s Yesterday and Today
Hi Mona and Lisa;
I was late to the party for Revolver. Also, Revolver in the US is different from Revolver in the UK. Capitol Records re-configured the Beatles albums from Help through Revolver and had a left over to “true-up” the albums from Help through Revolver called “Yesterday and Today”. Also, Capitol released Yesterday and Today and Revolver in quick succession. At the time I was 12/13 and only had an allowance from the parents and I could not buy both albums at the time. So, I picked Yesterday and Today. I eventually bought Revolver but it was about 2 decades later. I had heard the main songs of Revolver (Eleanor Rigby and a couple of others). Between the time between the release of Revolver and when I purchased it…….I kept hearing this tune in stores having Musak now and then which was beautiful……….but I could not figure out what it was. Every time I heard it I would think, “There it is again. What is that song???” Finally I bought Revolver and discovered the beautiful tune was “Here, There, and Everywhere”. Many years later now I have about all of the Beatles CDs and Revolver is in the top two…….I would say that the Beatles started their change in their music about the time of Help (You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away, I’ve Just Seen a Face) and the change in direction carried on to Rubber Soul, Yesterday and Today, and Revolver. After that came Sgt. Peppers which was different than anything before. Of that time period I would say that Rubber Soul is my favorite.
Hello Girls…well definitely Rubber Soul and Revolver are great albums….I remember when I got their albums as each one was newly released I kept wanting more of the Please Please Me…I Want To Hold Your Hand…She Loves You sounds as I was really into the songs that first made The Beatles stars…I have the album The Savage Young Beatles with Pete Best on drums and Tony Sheridan doing the lead vocals which also includes the instrumental Cry For A Shadow which is the only composition written by George Harrison and John Lennon…..it was those early albums that got me all worked up along with all the 13 year old girls at school that went berserk….but I do have an Eleanor Rigby related story…you said in a previous session that you thought The Bee Gees were a 70s group and you were just finding out that they were around in the late 60s…The Bee Gees from Australia had a string of hits Down Under that brought them to England and their first international major hit was 1941 New York Mining Disaster…the title of the song was never part of the lyrics…”Have you seen my wife Mr Jones” was hauntingly beautiful and by coincidence hit the charts as Eleanor Rigby was fading off the charts… many many many people wondered is that The Beatles new song…no it wasn’t… it was The Bee Gees first hit single on the Atco record label with Robert Stigwood as the producer….so you see from Eleanor Rigby to 1941 New York Mining Disaster I became a HUGE Bee Gees fan…ever since then it’s been Beatles and Bee Gees as 1 and 2 in my musical favorites…..but back to Revolver…And Your Bird Can Sing is a mind blowing guitar song that guitarists are always rated on how well they can play that song….whether that is right or wrong I don’t know …but…that’s the way it is…..and someday maybe you’ll find a Bee Gee song for a duo session….but here we are 6 decades later and The MonaLisa Twins rule the day ????????????????❤️for Mona…????for Lisa
Got to go with “And your bird can sing” as my favorite on this album. Also, happy anniversary to the Cavern club! They’ve been celebrating it on Twitter all day.
Oh Yes, Revolver is most assuredly their finest of the early albums…..pre Sgt. Pepper….Tomorrow Never Knows COULD have been on Sgt. Pepper with it’s style of music…Within You, Without You…which started side two of Sgt. Pepper….might not have been without Johns’ Tomorrow Never Knows. I think it would’ve been a good song for Sgt. Pepper. You ladies covered “Taxman” so wonderful on the “Live at the Cavern Club” I was fortunate enough to have the British releases of Beatles albums before the Capital releases…the Capital ones were…ehhhhh….not all that good. but a DIFFERENT sound. Unfortunately…..all of my Beatles albums were stolen , along with a ton of other music…in the early 80’s…so I have been SLOWLY getting the albums back a little at a time. The Capital albums that were released on CD in a box set around 2004 and 2006….Vol. 1 and Vol. 2…..were as close to the original sound…….HOWEVER…when they were released in 2009….they SOUNDED like the British albums…not like the Capital releases….glad I have the two earlier ones. “She Loves You” in Stereophonic sounds quite amazing as it was NEVER released in true stereo. All in all, I very much have been enjoying your covers and the What’s on the Table interviews. I have to laugh…when you started out on “Taxman” and the both of you grooving back and forth….I DO THE SAME THING….GROOVY BABY !! “Yellow Submarine” perhaps my favorite, just because it’s fun. “I’m Only Sleeping” is how I feel on workdays. It is sad that they quit touring in 1966…but I can also see the the fact that they wanted to make not just good music, but GREAT music…and it stands the test of time. Thank You Mona and Lisa for a great segment. This is my Saturday morning thing with my cup of tea and MonaLisa Twins. As always……Peace, Love and Happiness
What a great Whats on the table! Revolver was and still is a great album hands down. I love your verson of Taxman on the Live Album. Good day Sunshine is another great cover you ladies do as well. I bought this album back in 1969 when we heard of a break up of the Beatles and wanted to reach back and grab as much of their music as I could. Here there and Everywhere is a top ranked love song to me and such wonderful harmonies on this piece. I Look forward to this Whats on the table because you have great topics and takes me back in time that was a fun time for me hearing this music and still hear it today is awesome! Thank you Ladies
Wow, I so enjoyed that. Nice shirt Mona, and always enjoy watching you both getting into the music and highlighting some of the musical parts with your air guitar or drumming moves. I can tell you are both musicians the way you gesture all the nuances of the song. Revolver is one of those rare albums where you can like every single track on it, just like with Rubber Soul and Sargent Peppers for me. I never heard of “And Your Bird Can Sing” until you mentioned it here at the Club, and what a catchy tune indeed and wonderful guitar sounds.
My favourite on the album has changed since I first heard the whole thing, and I would say Yellow Submarine always has a special place in my heart because of the memories of singing it in the school bus on my memorable week long grade 10 Biology field trip. After that would be Good Day Sunshine, a similar bright happy song, Eleanor Rigby and Got to Get You Into My Life. I Want to Tell You is up there too. I have Rubber Soul and Sargent Peppers on vinyl and Revolver is on my next vinyl list, but man it’s hard to find in the used record stores. Will just have to get a new one too.
Thanks for this, love your WOTT, brightened my Friday evening over here! 🙂 🙂
Another awesome WOTT. I loved the way you cut in parts of your covers of the songs you played. It really showcases how absolutely great your covers of these epic songs are. Seeing the excitement in your eyes as you played and remembered them reveals how special they are to you and how they had the power to launch you into your music careers. I never grow tired listening to Revolver, Rubber Soul and Sgt. Peppers. The top three Beatles albums for me too. Sharing these songs with you two makes them even more of a special treat. Thanks!
This Beatle album analysis has been a real education for me. I discovered their music in the 80’s from oldies radio stations and greatest hits albums, and much later filled in some of the gaps with YouTube, so in most cases I didn’t know which songs were from which albums originally. From my perspective I’m weighing in on a random sample of songs that have no personally meaningful correlation. But they do represent a snapshot in time of the group’s evolution, which is a useful vantage point.
I was surprised to see that none of the songs from Revolver that I really really like features John on the lead vocal. On Rubber Soul, on the other hand, John dominates my list of favorites. I hadn’t expected such a segregation.
I was eight years old when “Revolver” was released. I wasn’t playing albums at the time, and experienced most of this one song by song a few years later, in the early 70’s when these songs were aired on the radio. After hearing the full album, it’s phenomenal that the studio didn’t spontaneously combust with all that diverse creativity coming together in one place. An argument might be made that something similar could be said about any of the Beatles’ albums, but this one shines just a little bit more. It’s playful, intense, full of narratives and inferences. It’s masterful, not only for the vision of John, Paul, George and Ringo, but also the willingness of the label, management and distributors to support something this different in 1966, despite this being their 7th album and their having a solid record of monetary dividends. Occasionally the art does transcend.
Lisa’s remark about this album showing where the Beatles had come from and where they were heading made me think of an album with a comparable vibe and might rate a WOTT session: Eric Clapton’s first solo effort “Eric Clapton”. There are shades of Cream and Yardbirds in several songs, and a tiny foreshadowing whisper of Derek & The Dominos.
I think we can all agree that What’s On The Table rules, so thank you again, it’s a better Friday for it.
I remember when i bought revolver In 1966 John Lennon made the comment about The Beatles being more popular than Jesus.Even though at the time The Beatles were popular
and still are even today John should have said to himself if I say this refering to Jesus I am going to get a lot of people upset.In one of his interviews he was asked if he believed in God ? HE told the interviewer that he was an agnostic.
HEY MONA glad you take good care of your drums. I would always change my he my heads every month or when needed. Itoo would alson experment with differnt drum heads
from different companies.
I enjoyed to rendtion of TAXMAN. Way to go LIsa on your guitar work.
Keep up the good work
GLENN FORTIER
I totally agree with you. The Beatles were always a great live band and their harmonies were something else, but with Rubber Soul and Revolver they really became musical Trail Blazers. Being an American, I had the “butchered” Capital releases and I didn’t get to hear the British versions until years later when the CDs came out. I have both versions in my collection now. I wonder if they will release an anniversary edition of these two albums like they did with their later releases. I would definitely buy them. This was a great video and later on tonight I’m giving this album another spin. Been a while since I’ve listened to the complete album. Thanks again! I love those little bits of info you share! Never knew that Paul played lead guitar on this!
Thank you for the Revolver feature. Has anyone ever come close to releasing three albums in a row that could match Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Peppers.
Well for a Rolling Stones fan the answer is yes. “Beggars Banquet”1968, “Let It Bleed”1969, “Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out” (Live) 1970, “Sticky Fingers” 1971 and Exile On Main Street” 1972. And don’t forget the excellent album mentioned by Mona and Lisa, “Aftermath”, 1966.
Hello Ladies,
Wow! So you’re gonna start the year off with Revolver? Might as well start at the pinnacle, and go up from there this year. Tall order., but some how you have always pulled it off.
For me it has to be Here, There, and Everywhere. So much was put into this song in a short amount of time. When you both covered it, it became the staple today that it was 50 years ago. It brought back the renewed feeling of listening to it all over again.
As I’ve said before, my parents didn’t allow the Beatles music. So it wasn’t till I was in high school, that I got a taste of the Beatles music. I’m still drinking it in.
Here, There, and Everywhere, for me speaks about relationships. Even when you aren’t with someone, they are still with you Here, There, and Ecerywhere. They are with you all the time. Whether its with your partner, family, someone you care about, friends, even a musical group you follow. Like Ths MonaLisa Twins.
Its one of those songs that gets better with time. Thanks Ladies for this segment, and for renewing Revolver in all of us.
All the Best.
Rick Ross ????????♀️❤????????
P S I got my calendar yesterday and am So excited. ????????????
I can never decide which is my favourite album, it
s between Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, and Abbey Road. To me both Rain and And Your Bird Can Sing are two perfect examples of how good The Beatles were as a band. On Rain its Pauls bass, and Ringos great drummig, that makes it a great song, and on And Your Bird Can Sing its those two amazing guitars harmonizing. My guess is its George and Paul who plays those, sounds a bit to technical for John i think, but i dont know. Maybe someone else does? Keep doing whats on the table. Love that, really interestingI first heard Revolver when it was first released and loved it. Now being in the states our version was different from the one released in Europe. Today the releases are the European releases, which I do prefer. I always considered Rubber Soul and Revolver a double album they did come out close to each other. You can hear how they were heading towards Sgt. Peppers in that the studio was becoming another instrument they used. These two albums have always been so special to me as were the Beatles. These have really held up over the years. Their song writing was at a point that really all three were great at this point, personally I always loved the songs if George not that I didn’t love John and Paul. I have to tell you two you do a wonderful job with performing the Beatle’s songs, I love your singing together. Thanks for doing this today. You two are two very groovy chicks. God bless
Oh my, now I’ve have gotten my My Friday #MLTBuzzLuvGroovified Goin On thanks in part to this fab “WOTT” segment, yes, you had to do ” Revolver” at some point, that’s a given, so very happy you did… I recall fondly listening to this album with my 2nd oldest brother , and ” Eleanor Rigby” and ” Goid Day Sunshine”, ” Yellow Subjarine”, and a few otgers but these ones in particular struck a chird with me from the get gom for whatever tge reasons, , the quirkiness of “Eleanor Rigby ” in its tune itself, the lyrics, etc, unique combo of things as ditto for ” Yellow Submarine “… I tend to be more into their later stuff, for me, it’s showcasing their creative depths … I agree that this should be a Beatl3s album to introduce new fans to….Thankyou and Kudos for doing an awesome review of ” Revokver” from your perspectives, and I can count on learning something new from you both when you highlight the album choice for ” WOTT” segment…Much enjoyed.. Groovy clothes choices, it all intertwined with the Beatles theme…????????♀️????????☮
Thank you for reminding me about Revolver, I’d forgotten how good it was. From the video its obvious how much you two love it,for example Mona’s Taxman. Look forward to the next output.
Although I have heard of some of the songs mentioned, I have never listened to “Revolver” all the way through before, but after watching Mona & Lisa just now, I will definitely be giving it a spin. My father-in-law has an original copy of the record (he is a massive Beatles fan since the very start of the fab four and now recently converted by me and my wife (his daughter) to loving the sounds and performances of the twins!
Every time I watch Mona & Lisa describe these tracks, I love to see how much they feel uplifted by the music -so evident on their faces, showing joy and total appreciation to the creativeness of the Beatles. Mona & Lisa’s intros to each song chosen, give a good insight into aspects of the Beatles that not everyone always knows too -so thank you for that and can’t wait for your next video. Stay Groovy Mona & Lisa, family and the band! 🙂
I loved this Mona and Lisa! I fall into the camp that leans to Rubber Soul, but they are both great!
Yes, one of the best albums, which I first heard in 1966 or 1967. Singles cost about 6/8 whereas albums were about 30 bob in Britain at that time, so we tended to rely on big sisters or big brothers, with more pocket money than we had.
What else can I remember? Well, some youths told DJ Kenny Everett at the time that they thought the guitars in And Your Bird Can Sing and She Said She Said made The Beatles sound “Chinese”.
I also have the Robert Rodriguez book, but not the Klaus Voormann book, though I did buy a copy of Klaus’s CD, A Sideman’s Journey, when we were in Salzburg.
Finally, does today’s video suggest you’re moving from YouTube to Dailymotion?
Oh I truly love the WOTT videos! To watch how you girls react to the music is delightful! You get so into it! And listening to you sing along in perfect harmony is amazing! Your love of music is inspiring! I got a copy of Revolver when it first came out. (yes I’m that old). I think “And Your Bird Can Sing” is my favorite track. “for No One” is an under appreciated song. “Tax Man” was their first kind of political song. It showed what kind of song writer George became. If you have “All Things Must Pass” that would make a great WOTT. Love you girls! You are the grooviest!
Love Revolver, but Rubber Soul is my favorite. Fun, enjoyable discussion. Always love hearing what you have to say. ????❤ ????????????????
My absolute favorite among the Beatles’ output is Rubber Soul, but like George Harrison said Rubber Soul and Revolver might be considered as parts 1 and 2. Rubber Soul was one the first rock – instead of pop – album. Revolver, with the Paperback Writer/Rain single of the same era, was the launching pad for psychedelia. I love them both.
I love what’s on the table!!! Every time you go one of these I usually have to watch it twice back to back, then again later. Not only do I always learn something interesting about the album you are playing but I think it gives us a glimpse into how it would be, living in the Wagner household on a daily basis. Its interesting that you do as much research into the music such as the book you you shared. Snippets of info like Ringo wanted to call the album After-Geography… too funny! Thank you again for taking the time to make these shows because they are very special to me and Im sure all of the members of MLT Club.
I woke up unexpectedly before 4am here in Illinois and decided to see if you had posted today’s vid yet. Glad I did! Wow, great choice with “Revolver”, ladies! So many great tracks and so much diversity, too! “And Your Bird Can Sing” has duo session written all over it! Maybe you could sing it in a future livestream, as well. It would sound incredible under the MLT influence! Bless you ladies for the joy you bring your fans, and bless the Beatles for their role in inspiring you to perform! Stay GROOVY, indeed!
I just played “Orange” while fixing breakfast and getting ready for work, and was struck by this revelation: considering diversity of tracks only, MLT’s “Orange” =or> the Beatle’s “Revolver”, IMHO, at least.
