Hi, concerning the sourced addition that you made to that article - could you please clarify whether it is the cited author's (Philip Norman's) conjecture, or whether it is based on any actual statements by McCartney? Also, a literal quote from Norman's text could be useful. Regards, --194.145.161.227 16:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

• I don't have the book on hand, but I'll try and fix it to a more direct quote from Norman's text when I get a chance. I believe it was conjecture of Norman based on statements by McCartney in interviews and somewhat his own (published, so valid, right?) opinion. Alex 15:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hang on a Second...

In the Golden Slumbers article, it says that John wasn't present for the two recordings. However, this article states that all four were present and sung together. Was there some sort of miswording or a misconception? Walt Disney

The Golden Slumbers article is almost correct but not quite. According to Revolution In The Head, Lennon played no part in the recording of the two songs except to join in the vocals on Carry That Weight. Pawnkingthree (talk) 09:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
