## Resource

On this episode of our Beatles podcast, we take a song Peter barely knew and turn it into one of the most spirited conversations in the series. On Bad Boy, Note by Note brings in Jesse Pollack from All You Need Is Pod to talk about this iconic track, one of the last of its kind. We cover: -Larry Williams’ original versus the Beatles version and what changed in the arrangement -John Lennon’s vocal performance and the debate over where it ranks among Beatles covers -The emergency Help-era session, Beatles VI, and the rush to get the song to America -The Hohner Pianet C, the Studer tape machine, and a new recording technique Check out All You Need Is Pod: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-you-need-is-pod/id1857843520 Website: https://www.notebynoteseries.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/NoteByNoteSeries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notebynoteseries Hosted on Acast.
