Let's talk about different songs from the Beatles anthology CDs.

Yay, I'm so glad this topic is here!!!

First of all, I love the takes where they start laughing, like the No Repy Demo. (You walked hand in hand, with another man... your face!) And I love listening to John and Paul giggle their way through And Your Bird Can Sing. Always makes me smile.

Secondly. Does anyone know what John says at the beginning of the Anthology version of A Day in the Life? I've been trying to figure it out forever and it's driving me crazy. It's on the Love album, too, at the end of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It sounds something like this:
"Mount the mike on the piano quite low, just to keep you in line with the rackers(?), you know. You know those old pianos."
At least, that's sort of what it sounds like. Any help on that would be appreciated...

"Cut the mike on the piano quite low and just keep in me and my maraca's. You know those old piano's" I think thats what hes saying.

Thanks! "Maracas" makes much more sense than "the rackers"... sweatdrop

I like the version of She Came In Through The Bathroom Window that's on there even if compared to the Abbey Road version, it feels like it's draaaagging. It's kinda cool and laid-back.

Also I just love All Things Must Pass on Anthology. I heard it before his album version and it's always been my favourite of the two.
