NOTE: "[...] it was pretty fucky heavy for then [1965]. If you
go and look in the charts for what other music people were
making, and you hear it now, it doesn't sound too bad. It's
one of them. It doesn't make you cringe. [...] If you'd give
me the eight-track now, remix it - I'll show you what it is
really, but you can hear it there." (John Lennon, 1970)
