Some corrections: The rule wasn't "no women," it was no outsiders. Brian Epstein wasn't allowed in the studio when the Beatles recorded and they chased him out of the studio the one time he came by (albeit to impress someone he was interested in). Technically, it was their 9th UK studio album, no their 10th, although there is some fudge factor with Magical Mystery Tour. It wasn't the first few thousand that had serials numbers, but in the hundreds of thousands. Geoff Emerick did not become the Beatles engineer until Revolver. I know the author wrote "symbolically," but Norman Smith was their engineer up until then. On "Ob-la-di, Ob-la da," John plays on the track and left during just one session only to return with the opening bars of the song. Yes, Lennon and Harrison did not like the song, but placing oneself in league with them by calling the song "childish" does not mean the song does not have merit. Lennon and Harrison had issues at this time that affected their judgement. For all of Lennon's alleged resentment of granny music, I don't recall him complaining about Yoko's "Yes, I'm Your Angel." Saying three of the Beatles drummed on Back in the USSR is true, but a stretch. Paul drummed and Lennon and Harrison added drum parts - Lennon's contribution was simply snare hits on the off-beat with no fills. Lastly, saying John's mother, Julia, was killed in a car accident suggests that she was driving in a car when she was struck by a car while on foot.
