Recording The Beatles

From the Mother Nature’s Son sample page:

“Paul was listening to playback of the song while holding a copy of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s The Song of Hiawatha in his lap. Paul began tapping along on the cover and decided that the sound of the book, in fact, would make a nice addition. Ken Scott then carefully positioned a microphone over Longfellow’s epic poem and recorded Paul tapping out a rhythm on the book’s hardcover.”

In case anyone’s wondering, my birthday is January 7th.
