Absolutely Eleanor Rigby. Nothing like it before from a “pop” band.

I’ve loved “Here, There and Everywhere” since I was a kid and my parents were playing this album. They had this and a few other Beatles albums.

Love Wes Montgomery... he also did a great version of ‘Day in the Life.’ Chet Atkins also did great Beatles covers (Pickin’ on the Beatles..’)

My favorite Beatles album is “Rubber Soul”. The U.S version.

And Your Bird Can Sing is the most underrated song. The chord progression is years ahead of its time.

I can’t stand their music. I haven’t listened to it since the early 70s.

Doctor Robert - because it wasn’t on the US album and to listen you had to have a friend bring one from the UK and get it through customs.

I prefer the UK version... mostly because Nowhere Man is one of my favorite Lennon songs, released as single by Capitol but not on US version of Rubber Soul... Rubber Soul was my favorite Beatles album also.

Perhaps foreshadowing lyrics from "Fixing a Hole"...

I'm taking the time for a number of things that weren't important yesterday.
