Several years ago I spent a fall in Scotland (Edinburgh) and Northern England (Manchester and the Lake District). In Nov and Dec, talk about brrrr . Still, we just wrapped up and enjoyed the fact of how beautiful the area was, that the pubs were a blast and how nice the people were. Fantastic.
As an American, I just assumed for years that the 'James Bond intro' was a legitimate part of 'Help' (along with the other stuff). You often heard it when the track was played on the radio before the CD's came out.
The UK version CD's were a nice surprise with the changes in track listing, etc, and I always felt I was listening to the CD's as they were 'meant' to be listened to, that when the Four and G. Martin listened to the run thru, this is what they heard.
But still to this day, every once in a while, I say, 'And Your Bird Can Sing'? That's not on Revolver, it's on Yesterday and Today....oh, yeah'. Weird.
Can't comment on your other musings. I hope the above will suffice.
