Summary

We recorded this one with our guest Augustín literally out at sea on a cruise ship, which somehow feels perfect for a high-energy cover like Kansas City. In this Beatles podcast episode, we talk Beatles landmarks, the messy songwriting history behind the tune, and why this performance hits the way it does on Beatles for Sale. We cover: - Guest interview with Augustin (Sound and Story), calling in from a cruise ship near Tenerife - Beatles landmarks: 7 Cavendish Avenue, Abbey Road, 57 Green Street, and 57 Wimpole Street - Song history: Lieber and Stoller, Little Richard’s “hey, hey, hey” section, and why credits get messy - Recording on Oct 18, 1964: live take, piano overdub, handclaps, and the fade-out choice - Storytime: the 1964 North American tour and the $150,000 Kansas City show Website: https://www.notebynoteseries.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/NoteByNoteSeries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notebynoteseries Hosted on Acast.
