I tend to agree. After “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” “I Saw Her Standing There,” “Twist and Shout” and “Love Me Do,” it was all downhill.
I liked their early stuff. The things they first recorded in Liverpool. Some other groups were Jerry and the Pacemakers and Peter and Gordon.
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds wasn’t a Beatles’ song.
Paul’s idea was that the band would adopt different personas and write an album of something OTHER than Beatles’ songs.
“Lucy” is by “that group”.
