Help!

One from the LOOKING THROUGH THE GLASS ONION Podcast Archives – brought to you by the McGuigan Brothers Podcast.It’s a number one hit. It’s a movie title. It’s an album title. It could be the best Beatles song. Written during a ‘trough’ in John’s life (what he referred to as his ‘fat Elvis’ period), Help! is an incredible piece of art.Suggested by director Dick Lester and actor Victor Spinetti as the title for their next movie - John went home and wrote this amazing song.Recorded in 1965, Jay talks about the techniques used to record it, what instruments they used and how this record indicates a huge step forward in their careers.Big questions in this episode - - Why are there so many versions?- Jay discusses the art of the reduction mix…oh yea, it’s a rabbit hole of ‘nerdy’.- Did the Beatles release the best 6 consecutive hits in rock history?- Is this song the best collaboration between John and Paul?We think you’re going to love this episode! Either way, we do appreciate you being ‘round. Enjoy Help!
