The intro to The Beatles- 'You're Going to Lose That Girl'?!
Question: The intro to The Beatles- 'You're Going to Lose That Girl'!?
In my copy of Help! which I acquired earlier, the intro has a dip in the sound at the start before coming back up again!. The pitch bends downwards briefly before returning to the normal level in the first 5 seconds!.
When the backing vocals sing "yes yes you're going to lose that girl" for the first time in the intro, on the words "lose that" the overall sound dips in pitch before returning to normal by the word "girl"
Have I got a dud copy or was this an actual widespread error!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well, its a vocal intro mainly built around the chorus!. In those days George Martin was doin a lot of speeding up and slowing down for key changes and alignments so youre probably accurate there!. They were using quite primitive equipment too in comparison to today's techno gear!. It's a tricky number though in E major, but during the bridge the key shifts to G major, the relative major of the parallel minor!. Clever stuff they learned from Tony Sheridan in the early Hamburg days!. I have it on one or two albums and it is the same as your copy so no not a dud!. Have even knocked that one out to a reggae beat !Www@Enter-QA@Com
