Sorry, LT Joseph; “Yesterday & Today” is a Capitol Records collection of songs that were left off of previous US albums, plus upcoming songs from “Revolver” (that weren’t released in the UK, yet)!Capitol “F’d” with all Beatles albums, all the way up to “Sgt. Pepper”! They ruined the cover art & omitted songs, so they could sell more product!! Can you imagine disrespecting the number one band of all time, in this way? In fact, as far as the Beatles were concerned; there is no such album as “Yesterday & Today”. “Drive My Car” is indeed from the (true) “Rubber Soul” album. ❤🎸

[@kjackson5946]

PS: Why do you think “Yesterday & Today” has such a crappy picture on the cover? Do you think the Beatles would’ve picked that cheap-ass picture, crudely pasted on a plain white background?

Marijuana and the Beatles were a great combination. LSD not as much, same today as it was then in that regard.

[@vhampiritos6050]

Do not confuse the issue of drugs with music. He who is good at music will develop his talent. but it only remains to reflect an addict in the eyes of everyone. The Beatles weren't the best for drugs.

[@TheNaturalust]

@@vhampiritos6050 actually they were quite the tool at various times to move the music forward. Amphetamines by the handful during their time in Hamburg and Berlin. Weed brought us the introspective and best songwriting of Rubber Soul and Revolver. LSD greatly influenced Sgt. Peppers. When the white piwders appeared one could argue the whole thing started falling apart. Perhaps freedom and recovery brought us songs like Imagine but no one who is a true student of The Beatles can deny how important the drugs were. George talked about it most openly. They were just more fresh and important to an entire culture back then, the same culture that included The Beatles. Now that greed, violence and cartels are so heavily involved, the same tools have become toxic and not nearly as effective. That’s my learned take on it. You are welcome to disagree.

Drive my car without the singing sounds very diffrent

[@davidjordan2336]

Something doesn't add up here. My understanding is that the guitar lick at the start of Drive My Car was an overdub that was pasted into the completed song, so what's it doing here? It was also played by Paul, who is quite prominently playing bass. And it starts on the four beat, not the one beat, so the count-in makes no sense.

[@mariocardabollo3631]

Because it´s not what it says it is.

[@tankmchavocproductions6907]

That count-in is correct.

[@ej2333]

According to the recording session book...this take 4 was the best one and yes it is a complete run through of the song. The opening guitar lick is so easy to play, they wouldn't have to replace it from another take. It doesn't say if Paul played guitar but it is possible since at this time Paul was a better guitar player than George. That's why Paul had to play the guitar solo on "Taxman".

Metal guitar player comments: Drive My Car wasn't on my Rubber Soul, Drive My Car was on my Yesterday And Today.

[@DrRoberts66]

The UK catalogue is now accepted as the official and definitive version of the Beatles’ releases - albums, singles and EPs with the somewhat controversial inclusion of Magical Mystery Tour as an album - and Drive My Car is the first track on Rubber Soul. Capitol cut and spliced albums together and added tracks which were only released as singles or EPs in Britain (Magical Mystery Tour, for example). Most artists before the Beatles would use a hit single to sell an album of very inferior material - Elvis has a massive catalogue of dire albums - and the Beatles’ first album did, indeed, piggyback on their first two singles - Love Me Do and Please Please Me. But, unlike other artists, the other tracks were sensational: I Saw Her Standing There, There’s A Place, Twist And Shout. Their second album, With The Beatles, didn’t include any tracks which were released as singles in Britain, despite it containing a sure-fire hit in All My Loving. The albums for the films A Hard Day’s Night and Help! did include tracks released as singles but the B side of the singles on Help! were not on the album. It did, though, include Yesterday which, again, was not released as a single in Britain in the 1960s. No singles were released in Britain from the albums Beatles For Sale, Rubber Soul or Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - although they had tracks which would have topped the charts - Eight Days A Week, for example, which was released as a single in some countries and did indeed top the charts. The Beatles were a phenomenon that will never be repeated

@@DrRoberts66 I think for any British group, you have to take their UK albums as the real discography. U.S. labels would create their own albums out of the LPs, EPS, and singles the Brit groups recorded.

Instead of practicing the Sitar George should have practiced more on electric guitar.

What the fuck is a Sitar George?

[@solidsalt3412]

That sitar is what makes a lot of those songs iconic. Norwegian wood, for example, would not sound nearly as good without it

[@anonymusum]

@@solidsalt3412 I agree, but Norwegian Wood is only one of a few songs where the Sitar could add a nice colour to it. George admitted that he was hardly able to produce a then-modern guitar sound like Clapton or Beck as he was too busy practicing the Sitar. And now count all of those songs where a good electric guitar sound was needed.

George was fine. He just had more humility than the others. I ask for help from people when l write songs. He did the same, or tried to. But John had his writing partner already.

[@anthonykimball7463]

Undeniably great music, but my enjoyment of this stuff was severely muted once I discovered that The Beatles were probably the biggest social & cultural psy-op of the 20th Century, plus realizing the fact that they hardly wrote or played instruments on any of the songs attributed to them (the Get Back/Let It Be sessions being about the only exception). Waking up to the truth is often unpleasant, but speaking for myself I'd much rather know the truth than continue to (unwittingly) believe a lie.
