Pepper album. He wrote, on 27 January 1967: "Sgt Pepper. Started writing song with Paul [McCartney] upstairs in his room, he on piano" and "Did a lot more of "where the rain comes in" [a lyric from "Fixing a Hole"]. Hope people like it. Started Sergeant Pepper". On 1 February: "Sergeant Pepper sounds good. Paul tells me that I will get royalties on the song—great news, now perhaps a new home." On 2 February: "Recording voices on Captain [sic] Pepper. All six of us doing the chorus in the middle, worked until about midnight."Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939814047436743613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760552334873962879.post-24067141588066198352013-10-13T14:46:07.306+01:002013-10-13T14:46:07.306+01:00Be very interested in any other concrete suggestio...Be very interested in any other concrete suggestions people have - I hear Mal was involved in Fixing A Hole...Matt Blickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532287235128200046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760552334873962879.post-18215056436648704332013-10-13T13:24:04.469+01:002013-10-13T13:24:04.469+01:00Yes, I've heard that "lovely Mal" he...Yes, I've heard that "lovely Mal" helped with writing some of the tunes and in fact George occasionally credited him as co-writer during the solo years.Martin Quibellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034685164852224771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760552334873962879.post-38698380517189537172013-10-08T22:53:09.992+01:002013-10-08T22:53:09.992+01:00Rich - ouch!

As I understand it, shortly before he died, he sent a letter to a friend expressing his excitement that Paul McCartney was finally going to give him credit on some songs. After Evans's death, there was apparently no follow-up on that.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939814047436743613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760552334873962879.post-38263931967467175882013-10-07T17:17:57.201+01:002013-10-07T17:17:57.201+01:00The basic idea and some of the lines for "She...The basic idea and some of the lines for "She Said She Said" came from an acid-fuelled conversation Lennon had with Peter Fonda.Fuzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11721428721657886729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760552334873962879.post-50121912599510537262013-10-07T16:29:39.969+01:002013-10-07T16:29:39.969+01:00I Saw Her Standing There & When the Saints Go ...I Saw Her Standing There & When the Saints Go Marching In have much in common. toomuchcoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10431282043035730767noreply@blogger.com
