Yer a good man Bob! Speaking of Beatles ... Here's my question in the form of a trivia riddle. Which Beatle album or albums had Paul McCartney convinced that they were totally out of tune. And he apparently tried pretty hard to convince the other members of the same -so as to re-record them. During the near end of the recording process of course. ???????????????????????????????????????? I ask because I cant recall the answer.
