"Yesterday and Today", the Butcher Cover and the Trunk cover

[JakeK]

According to George Martin and the Abbey Road Engineers/Techs, the line was, "Oompah oompah, Stick in your jumper" (sung with a Scouse accent, of course).

That is what a male chorus sang, according to Lewisohn. A female chorus sang "Everyone's got one".

It's both lines at the same time. Listen close!

Kris, for the Apple aficionados, can you detail what the three different Apple labels are ??
Thanks

Green Apple label: 1) Mfd. by Apple; b) Capitol logo; c) All Rights Reserved.

O.K., here are the Capitol and Apple label variations throughout the years for the American Beatles' albums:

Black label w/Rainbow colorband (Mono)
Issued from 1964 to 1968

Black label w/Rainbow colorband (Stereo)
Issued from 1964 to 1968

Green label
Issued from 1969 to 1971

Capitol Record Club Green label (note the extra '8' in the catalog number
Issued from 1969 to 1971

Apple label with Capitol logo in rim print
Issued from 1968 to 1971

Apple label w/"Mfd. By Apple" rim print (I had to substitute a different title for this, as my copy is factory sealed)
Issued from 1970 to 1975

Continued:

Apple label w/"All Rights..." print (can be found in the perimeter or elsewhere on the label)
Issued briefly in 1975

Orange label
Issued from 1976 to 1978

Purple label 1 (note perimeter print at top and bottom of label)
Issued from 1978 to 1983

Black label w/rainbow colorband (note perimeter print is now in colorband)
Issued from 1983 to 1988

Purple label 2 (note perimeter print at bottom of label only, and catalog number is also changed)
Issued from 1983 to 1991

There was also an original black label w/colorband Record Club label (stereo only). I don't have a Y&T copy of it (yet), although I've got a few other Beatles' titles with that label variation. and there is a very rare red Capitol label pressing (also which I don't have) which was mistakenly issued (Canadian red label Capitol Beatles' albums are common). After the second Purple label pressings, the American catalog was deleted, and the British catalog was issued in the U.S.

Yes, but I'd be hard-pressed to believe that the lads didn't also include the line I mentioned earlier in at least a couple of recitations.

I heart the green labels. I'm collecting those now. For reals.

I'll go to my grave thinking that. The Beatles had messages/controversial elements everywhere. The "T*t, T*t, T*t..." in Girl to the "Four of fish and finger pie" in Penny Lane to the "Everybody smoke pot..." in I Am the Walrus, and on and on...

That line in "Walrus" was "Everybody's got one", according to Mark Lewisohn.

According to George Martin and the Abbey Road Engineers/Techs, the line was, "Oompah oompah, Stick in your jumper" (sung with a Scouse accent, of course).

It definitely sounds like "Oompah oompah, Stick in your jumper" with oompah rhyming to jumper. But... listen carefully and BOTH lines are sung by different groups! I'm definitely more interested in the music and lyrics than covers

Kris --- a picture is worth a thousand words.
Thanks for posting all the Capitol and Apple label variances... very informative.
This is an interesting thread ....

As for Capitol Apple labels: My "Get Back" looks like this (picture taken from a website as my WestCoast pressing's framed on the wall):



which makes it a different label than the one listed above - here's a link to a site which lists about all US Apple label variations: http://www.fab4collectibles.com/apple_singles.htm

[revolver323]

In the Playboy Interviews by David Scheff, Lennon is asked about this:
Payboy: What about the chant at the end of Walrus, "Smoke pot, smoke pot. Everybody smoke pot?"
Llennon: No, no, no. I had this whole choir saying, "Everybody's got one. Everybody's got one." But when you get thirty people, male and female, on top of thirty cellos and on top of the Beatles rock 'n' roll rhythm section, you can't hear what they're saying.
Playboy: What does "everybody got"?
Lennon: Anything. You name it -- one penis, one vagina, one a**hole. You name it.

Werner -- thanks for posting that link to that great site ! I was going "Apple Bonkers" seeing all those pictures of Apple 45s and so many different versions and pressings ... pretty cool.

Resurrecting the off-shoot topic here about Apple record labels and stuff ... I stumbled across this interesting web-site today, with pictures of records sleeves and some Apple 45 labels and thought I would share the link:

The site is called Apple Sleevographia -- looks like an offshoot of a Yahoo discussion group.

I know this is not Y&T, but this one is a different Apple label:



(Notice "Phil + Ronnie" etched into the inner groove)



We had this when I was a kid. (I may have it in a box in the basement; I'll have to check.)

Resurrecting this thread --- this Beatles Memorabila site indicates (about one-fourth the way down the scroll) that yesterday (Dec 15th) they sold the "First State, Factory Sealed, Virtually Mint Condition Monorual Butcher Cover" owned by Alan Livingston, former President of Capitol Records.

Supposedly his "very last copy".
