Hard to believe this was recorded in 1966.
Genuinely curious what you're thinking when you say that.
Weird to me to think that 1966 was only twenty years before I was born.
(Great song and recording)
Also realize just now that this was only 12 years before I was born.
Blows your mind, doesn't it
I’m not a music scholar but it seems way ahead of its time for 1966 western pop music. The ultimate version that was included on the Revolver Album was a bit more mainstream than this, but it shows just how experimental the Beatles were. Also realize just now that this was only 12 years before I was born.
Also also not a music scholar, but it sounds very *beatles* to me, which I associate with that period. So idk
The turn to psych on Revolver was pretty dang unique for the Beatles, but 66 was the year of Pet Sounds and Sunshine Superman and Face to Face. I think what the Beatles did to legitimize pop music made it commercially viable for bands to experiment too. I don't know if it was Revolver that kicked it off, but I know the early-middle era of the Beatles was also quite experimental with regard to recording techniques too.
