I agree about those harmonies in If I Needed Someone - they're great. I think that's one of the reasons I love their middle period so much - they were getting into more complex harmony arrangements such as this one and Nowhere Man. |

Favorite Beatles movie: A Hard Day's Night Thanks, Ken! It looks as though you are a big fan of their middle period as well! They had some great earlier and later songs, but that Help!-Revolver period is hard to top. Day Tripper has always been a huge favorite of mine - I love that bass riff! |
