Studio Tricks. This one's fun. Okay, let's start with the guitar solo from "I'm Only Sleeping." It's obviously been reversed, but that's not the whole story. George actually played the actual solo backwards, and then they flipped the tape for the master, making it a forward sounding lead break, but with just enough backwards sound to fit perfectly in one of John's droniest songs.

Wonderful post listing great Beatles moments. The best part is that I can think of so many more. What a band.

And don't miss Beatles II. Does any other band so reward such deep and repeated listening?

And there's so much I have yet to hear and see.
