[Alan Stubbs]

I am the walrus.

[Andy Macfarlane]

Don't be so hard on yourself Alan.

[peter mccue]

Tomorrow never knows,

Revolution,

Taxman,

Helter Skelter,

Back in the USSR,

Hey Bulldog,

Good day sunshine,

got to get you into my life,

Lady Madonna,

 

The list is endless. I think someone mentioned Revolver as their best album, got to agree with that.

qoute!

why is orange jam called marmalade?

 

 

Something to do with the Portugese I think.

The build's about right!

Oi lay off Marmalade. They played at the Decca records staff Xmas party in 1969. Frank Ifield was also on the bill. Heavy stuff..Frank Ifield... I Remember Yoouuuwhoooo. Norrie's tapping his feet already.

 

OblaDee OblahDah wasnt a cover for Marmalade. Sir Paul wrote the song, George Martin who'd produced M's first single, produced the song for them as a follow up. The Beatles recorded it later.

Ah. With both their version and the White Album being released in '68, I thought that it was the usual case of a Beatles album track being released very quickly as a cover by someone else. I'm not old enough to remember the actual order of events

It was close Steve but the Marmies were first.

[Alan Stubbs]

It's purely coincidental but I have had some tunes playing here at work and I realised just how good a song (as in both melody and lyric) 'Yesterday' is. half an hour later 'Eleanor Rigby' was played. I am in heaven.

Alan Stubbs:

So is John Lennon.
