DISC FIVE concludes the SOUL tapes with the only lengthy "Beatles working at Abbey Road" recording known to exist - a 19-minute look at the November 8th, 1965 "Think For Yourself" vocal overdub session. The only major disappointment in this treasury of tapes is the lack of any outtakes from the REVOLVER LP. Barrett and Scott did audition "For No One" and "Here There And Everywhere" (found on the "bag tapes"), but all we have to represent that fertile time are both takes of "Paperback Writer" and the stereo mix of "Rain". Softening that blow is an in-depth chronicle of "Strawberry Fields Forever" from serene start to freaky finish, as well as some vintage 1967 mixes of its flipside.
