Beware Beatles Content

Interesting video showing that Paul McCartney had a lot of foam under the strings while using a pick and that they could still have fun.

Found this while looking for a recipe of pan-fried monkfish liver. No kidding.

Love this pre heavy metal glam tune.

They're singing to a playback, but yes - it sounds like he probably had that when they tracked it, too.

Playback, of course. Listening to the Past Masters right now.

Hey if it's good enough for Sir Paul...

This is interesting.

 

No foam on his 63 bass and a rolled up 'bag', not foam, on the 61.

Here is the rolled up "bag" that looks like a bent in two piece of period correct yellow foam.

Carol Kaye always had foam under the strings too.
