Summary

Every Little Thing is a Paul McCartney song that could fool you into thinking it is a John song, especially with John’s voice so forward in the verses. In this Beatles podcast episode of Note By Note, Peter, Kenyon, Josh, and guest TJ Byrnes break down the timpani punch, the Anthology 4 takes, and why this deep cut never quite plays by pop rules. We cover: - Recording sessions, the redo, and what Anthology 4 reveals in takes 6–7 - Timpani as a claimed Beatles first, the piano credit debate, and the AKG D19 C drum mic switch - How it gets compared to What You’re Doing and the shift to arranged guitar solos - 1964 UK tour storytime, including the mid-tour nine-hour EMI session TJ Byrnes Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaqdTns-CVdVUMSk7xBhhmw Website: https://www.notebynoteseries.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/NoteByNoteSeries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notebynoteseries Hosted on Acast.
