'Remarkable' Beatles song that sent Paul McCartney storming out of the studio

Saturday, January 4, 2025

There were times when The Beatles did not see eye to eye. As their sound evolved in the second half of the 1960s and they began to experiment with new techniques and styles, creative differences came to the fore.

The ECHO has recently looked at how John Lennon disliked certain songs and albums that Paul McCartney took the lead on - whether that was the 'Abbey Road' medley, 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' or the single 'Let it Be'. He called the songs which brought 'Abbey Road' to an end "junk" and he slated "Sgt Pepper" after leaving the band.

About 'Let it Be', John said: "That's Paul. What can you say? Nothing to do with The Beatles. It could've been Wings. I don't know what he's thinking when he writes 'Let It Be'." However, there were also aspects of John's work that Paul disagreed with.

1996's 'Revolver' saw The Beatles' sound move on from their early pop stylings, with many critics seeing it as the beginning of their psychedelic approach. The album was recorded at EMI's studio in London between April and June 1966, with it hitting shelves that August.

The psychedelic sound was partly a result of John and George Harrison's interest in LSD (or acid), which began in 1965 - Ringo Starr tried it after his bandmates suggested it but Paul held out for some time, focussing his interests on the avant-garde arts scene developing in London instead.
