Not Pynchon just paranoia

I’m not sure but it’s possible the musical quality of “Please, Please Me”  and I Wanna Hold Your Hand”  wasn’t all that high.   They had the potential and realized that later -   Rubber Soul? - 1965 -  I noticed a difference.  

Here -   Rubber Soul tracks: 
Side one
No.	Title	Lead vocals	Length
1.	"Drive My Car"	McCartney with Lennon	2:25
2.	"Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)"	Lennon with McCartney	2:01
3.	"You Won't See Me"	McCartney	3:18
4.	"Nowhere Man"	Lennon with McCartney and Harrison	2:40
5.	"Think for Yourself" (George Harrison)	Harrison	2:16
6.	"The Word"	Lennon	2:41
7.	"Michelle"	McCartney	2:40
Side two
No.	Title	Lead vocals	Length
1.	"What Goes On" (Lennon–McCartney–Richard Starkey)	Starr	2:47
2.	"Girl"	Lennon	2:30

They were there just 5 meters (barely 6 yards) in front of me, singing A hard day's night, Roll over Beethoven if Memory serves right. And Money. I was only 15 and had bought each single that came out. And the girls on the balconies were crying so loud that they nearly drowned out the lyrics.

I had 3 really good girlfriends and we divided them up.   I would have no one but Ringo,  but that’s okay since the others had their own picks.   I still remember -  Rachel took John,  Susie took Paul and Robin took George.  It just worked out that way.

I looked them over and pointed to George. "Uh-uh. He's mine. Pick another." So I chose Paul, and I've tried to be (Wings?? Ebony and Ivory???) as faithful as I can ever since.

See "A Day in the Life," maybe the best pop song ever because of how perfectly it illustrates and alchemizes the basic JL/PM differences. But the more distance between him and the rest of The Beatles, the less he rewards my attention.
