Hi, everyone:
I have two questions about "All I Really Want To Do":
1) Why does the Rickenbacker sound different on this song? Is it merely that the compression is pushed up to the max- or anything else?
2) Why did the Byrds record two different versions-- single and LP-- with slightly different lyrics?

Re: All I Really Want to Do
It's always sounded to me like Roger used both pickups on full for this song. It was the same version, but with the session producing two different vocal overdubs. I prefer the mono (or single) version, as I do with a lot of '60s music.
Re: All I Really Want to Do
I only have one version of "All I Really Wanna Do." And that's the one on the box set "There Is A Season." According to the liner notes Terry Melcher was the producer, the session taking place on March 8, 1965. And it's the mono version released as single 4-43332. No comments are listed as to Roger's pickup selection, or guitar settings. So I suppose your guess is as good as anyone's.

Just for you, Jim, here's the stereo version that I have on Mr. Tambourine Man and Essential Byrds
You can easily hear that it's the same take, only with different vocals.

Re: All I Really Want to Do
I saw Roger playing earlier this month and He was brilliant but I would have to say....I think this was the one song that was a little bit 'ropey'.....(compared to his own fantastic standards of course)....He played it on a fireglo 360/12 and it didn't have that fullness or bite........... P.S.. ... .Roger wasn't plugged in either so he must have been playing through a radio mic so I don't know what equipment he was using with it as I have no experience with that. To be honest I don't even know how those things work as I'm not technically savvy .It sounded fine during the concert but this song wasn't so good imo...

Maybe it was a "wireless chord" sort of like a radio deal (I'm not tech savy either.)david/wales/u.k wrote:I saw Roger playing earlier this month and He was brilliant but I would have to say....I think this was the one song that was a little bit 'ropey'.....(compared to his own fantastic standards of course)....He played it on a fireglo 360/12 and it didn't have that fullness or bite...........

Re: All I Really Want to Do
Roger typically starts his concerts by walking in playing "My Back Pages". He's playing a Rick 12 string using a wireless connection, so his boot heels can wander. The amplification is through the house PA system and he may or may not decide to use a Janglebox on the Rick. The banjo, Martin 12 string, and the Martin D-7 are miked (also sent through the house PA). He uses an 'in ear' monitor system. He likes to travel light.
