I wish Pink Floyd would release their BBC sessions. There is a Dark Side version complete from before the album was released.

The first session musician contribution, aside from Andy White, was the tenor and alto flute by Johnnie Scott on You've Got To Hide Your Love Away from Help.
Overdubbed in February 1965 sometime after 14th, Yesterday was recorded in June.

How I wish such detailed information was so readily available for stones sessions!

Info like that for just the sessions at RCA would be amazing!

I have this book somewhere...
I found it at a used books/records store back when I was 15. I don't know how accurate it is or anything, and I haven't read it since I was 15. It didn't just list the sessions, it had a lot of stories about what went on. I don't know how accurate those were either. One story said John was feeling bad and so somebody took him up to the roof to get some fresh air and left him. Then somebody else (like I said, a long time since I read it) came in the studio asking where John was, they told him John was on the roof getting some fresh air. He then informs everybody that John is having a bad acid trip and they all freak out and run upstairs just to find him up there goofing off. Bullshit or real?

Producer George Martin confirms the story in Anthology, which is intermixed with a later interview with John.
John thought took a pill that he thought was speed, but turned turned out to be acid. He started feeling "very funny on the mic" then got scared, and it was George Martin who took him atop the building for a break.

Maybe that's your calling, HM. The Beatles have Lewishon, the Monkees have Andrew Sandoval, and Clinton Heylin did a Dylan recording sessions book. Somebody did one for the Byrds, too, which I haven't got yet. You can do one on the Stones' RCA sessions.
Just send me a check for 51%.

I've never been disappointed with any BBC release. Beatles, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Joy Division, Bowie, etc, etc.

I read that comment of Paul's that his first LSD trip was with John. But I think he's rewriting history, and that his claim elsewhere that his first trip was with Tara Browne is the accurate story.

Same release date as Sweet Summer Sun. Almost as if it were planned!
