The Beatles - Back In The U.S.S.R. (Full Band Cover)

The opening track from the "White Album" has withstood the test of time as one of the hardest-rocking tracks ever recorded by the fab four. It was even re-released as a single in 1976 to promote the Rock 'n' Roll Music compilation album. I recorded a hasty, amateur cover of this about three years ago, but wasn't able to give this song the justice it deserves until now.

Thankfully, I have more advanced mixing equipment than the Beatles did in 1968, and was able to record the song fairly easily, though it was rather time-consuming. It's difficult to say who played what on this song as there are many conflicting accounts, but the instrumentation is fairly clear, and I was able to duplicate it pretty faithfully. Please enjoy my channeling of deep-voice, long-face Paul, who had of course replaced the original high-voice, short-face Paul upon the latter's death in 1966.
