Re: John Entwistle Recalls Hearing "Love Me Do" The First Time

I remember seeing Paul with the Rickenbacker on the Mystery tour movie,
too.
However, Paul started using the Rickenbacker in 1965.
McCartney was determined to make his bass sound more pronounced -- as it
was on the Motown records that James Jamerson played on.  He switched to
the Rickenbacker and asked Geoff Emerick to "put on your thinking cap"
as far as recording techniques.  They pulled it off on songs like "Drive
My Car."
