I mean, in a day, you know, if you did a double session, you'd get like five songs.

I think so.

That's I can remember.

I mean, when you're trying to sing something, you know, I mean, obviously if, if, if at the, if at the end of the take, it felt particularly good, you'll say so.

But I guess the production, the producer was making the final choice.

I, I trusted John Burgess.

I mean, he was a good producer and, uh,

I mean, I think if I seriously disagreed, we'd listen and argue, but I don't remember any such arguments.

Yeah, that wasn't a hit.

Yeah.

It's really cool.

We cut it two different ways, yeah.

Yeah.

He gave us the song and gave us a potential arrangement, which ended up in a discussion between him and John Burgess about which way to do it, which I'll get to.

But he also said that he wanted to try and experiment, which is to put the song out under a pseudonym because people were saying that anything with the Beatles name on it or any of their names would automatically be a hit.

He was been insulted about that or annoyed by it or something.

There's an embarrassment of riches.

Let's put it out under someone else's name.

So he invented this character called Bernard Webb.

But the whole thing got screwed up.
