Rock and Roll Music
“Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music”
A muscular Chuck Berry cover from Beatles For Sale, fronted by John Lennon at full bellow over a one-take rhythm track. Six hands on the EMI Steinway – Lennon, McCartney and George Martin sharing the piano overdub – give the song its driving honky-tonk wallop.
