Lennon feedback and old 45

["David S. Lifton" <dslift@erols.com>]

In his Beatles Reording Sessions book, Mark Lewisohn says that Lennon's 
claim that the feedback at the beginning of "I Feel Fine" was an 
accident was false because early takes of the recording of that song 
show that he worked hard at getting the feedback just right.  
McCartney (excuse me, Sir James Paul McCartney) said that John had come 
across the feedback by accident when he put the guitar down and it was 
too close to the amplifier.

The question of the B-side of "Substitute" was actually "Waltz for a 
Pig" by the Graham Bond Orchestra which was another Shel Talmy 
production.  It was not uncommon for this to happen with new groups that 
were heavily controlled by producers.

I hope this clears some things up  for everybody.
