Summary

This week on our Beatles podcast, we bring in a fourth voice and it gets delightfully nerdy fast. Guest Raymond Schillinger from You Can’t Unhear This joins us to re-hear “What You’re Doing” like it is hiding in plain sight. We cover: - Why “What You’re Doing” feels like a throwaway song - The song’s girl group fingerprints in the call and response vocals - The bass fill at the end, maybe the first time the Beatles had one - Recording breakdown: the September 1964 sessions - Seltaeb, NEMS, Stramsact, the lawsuit, and the merch money fallout Raymond's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@YouCantUnhearThis Website: https://www.notebynoteseries.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/NoteByNoteSeries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notebynoteseries Hosted on Acast.
