On this week The Beatles mixed the psychedelic tune “I Am the Walrus” penned by John Lennon on two separate acid trips which takes you into a world of make believe or as one critic at the time put it “Into the world of Alice in Wonderland”.
1967, Working at Abbey Road in London, The Beatles mixed the new John Lennon song ‘I Am the Walrus’ which included the sound of a radio being tuned through numerous stations, coming to rest on a BBC production of William Shakespeare’s “King Lear”. Lennon composed the song by combining three songs he had been working on. When he learned that a teacher at his old primary school was having his students analyse Beatles’ lyrics, he added a verse of nonsense words.
