" It's about the best way to get a gander at how the Beatles sounded live
without the shrieking of The Mania at their concerts"
I remember hearing one of them saying all the shrieking is why they quit touring. It got so loud they couldn't hear themselves singing,and sometimes had a hard time hearing the instruments. Can't remember which one said it now. Probably Paul.
All of them said much the same thing at one time or another.
It was wrecking our playing. Eventually I just played the off beat.---Ringo Starr, about the noise. (If you think
about it, he was probably the unsung hero of their concerts, since the racket made it so impossible for them to
hear themselves they probably had to lean on Ringo's backbeat just to stay in the same place.)
And if you listen a certain way, you could say that with
Beatles For Sale (a.k.a.
Beatles '65 in the U.S.) at
the end of 1964 that the Beatles had already looked into the mouth of the beast they birthed and were wearying of
it. Especially, listen to the way George Harrison sings "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby" to finish that album. When
Carl Perkins wrote and first cut that song it was just teenage bragging. When Harrison got hold of it in late '64, he
sang it as though the very idea of everybody trying to be his baby scared him sh@tless.
