"The Beatles themselves said they didn't write on the road. " BULLSHIT. So many of their tunes were written on the road, including PS I Love You. In 1962l Things We Said Today.........
" The early music they were playing were cover songs, not originals" They started writing tunes in the 1950s. If they weren't playing, who was playing in the clubs? Why did the audiences and club manages love them? I've heard club recording, your can hear the Mersey Beat taking shape. Rose in just three years? Three years of solid playing, day after day?
In one documentary, the Beatles are in their suite at the Waldorf Astoria (that's New York City) in 1964 or 1965, and John has a Honer Melodica (a kind of small, air-blown keyboard about 12-inches long), and he is working out the introductory chords to Strawberry Fields Forever. He is clearly on the road, and he is clearly working on a song тАФ that we all know. Their known material was very different at the time, and this offers (me anyway) insight into how long it can take to develop a song -- it comes out worlds away in 1967.
In another example of writing on the road, much of the White Album was written when they were in India.
He did NOT say it didn't happen. SHEESH!! You still haven't explained the claim that they didn't write on the road and said so compared to all the tunes i came up with even by Spring '64 which were written... on the road.
The claim, I will need time to work on to present, if you don't want to research the channel. It makes sense to me, but I will study it, as time allows, to be able to post here effectively
BBC interview with John and Paul August 1966. Paul- "The only time we need to force ourselves to write songs is when an Lp or film comes up." He also said "We don't write between lps normally, maybe one or two, then we write a great big batch".
By which point they were well-established. Before that point, they wrote whenever, wherever, and had started doing so in the late '50s. The notion that they didn't play on their own albums or write their own tunes is pure rubbish, and the fact that some people not only buy such trash but clutch on to it desperately is an artifact of full digital conditions, which Eric frequently discusses. Comes from the same place as Flat Earth flatulence.
I am trying to find a short clip of the interview with John and Paul in the early 60's to post. One of them says something like "we wrote in batches" as opposed to out of studio time. One of them said 'we may write one or two. "
If you can't answer these questions after listening to Mike, than the answers are too convoluted to make sense. Sorry, not buying that trash.

Quite obvious that you don't play music.
Well, there is write, and there is write.

Interesting statement.."strictly speaking a little bit impossible"
He did NOT say it didn't happen. SHEESH!! You still haven't explained the claim that they didn't write on the road and said so compared to all the tunes i came up with even by Spring '64 which were written... on the road.
He did laugh at the thought
