I've just seen this mentioned as how a Featured Article on a song should be, but sorry to say I think it needs some cleaning. There's plenty of sloppy language, and even some quotations without references. It's a very pleasant read, however. --kingboyk 20:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm flattered to be listed as a source (Gordon Hodgson), hope you don;t mind if I update the links to my site to point to their current URLs.--Gordon 21:23, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What does this mean?

I'm not clear about what's being disputed here. Is it disputed that Lennon put the song on the backburner (which, for those who lack a decent command of the English language, means that work on the song was halted)? I don't see any claim in the sentence that the song would have been worked on for Milk & Honey, unless putting something on the backburner now means the exact opposite of what it used to state.

[edit] In the Studio Quotation

In the last part of the In the Studio section, there is a large quotation indent, which is usually used for long quotes from a single source. Here it is used with several short quotes in quick succession. I'm wondering if it should still be indented. Alex 20:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] George Martin not interested in the project

Is there a citation for this statement?

I remember an interview with George Martin saying he hadn't been asked to produce Free as a Bird - with a hint of bitterness. Paul said during interviews at the time of release that George (Harrison) wanted Jeff Lynne, Paul conceeded that George Martin's hearing had deteriorated to the extent that Martin wasn't the right person to produce the new stuff.

[edit] Edit of "surprisingly did not use his Hofner bass"

It's not that suprising that Paul didn't use his Hofner bass. He changed the bass he used for recording in 1965; Geoff Emerick said in Complete Beatle Recording Sessions that Paperback writer was recorded using a Rickenbacker bass. The Beatles seems to have moved to Fender basses around 1967.
