Beatles Anth 2 reveals something interesting...




The Beatles have always been pretty discrete in trying to copy their 
contemporaries, but the new CD set reveals a direct Who connection.  One of 
my favorite Beatle songs, And Your Bird Can Sing, is included in an 
alternate form on the new Anthology 2 release (a MUST have for any serious 
audiophile, or anglophile, take your pick).  In this version there is a 
break with Paul playing a bass run over a drum fill to introduce the last 
verse of the song. Substitute anyone?



Paul McCartney during that time admitted that the Who's Substitute was an 
influence for Paperback Writer.  If it was it was concealed very well.  This 
version of And Your Bird Can Sing totally gives it away.
