November 3, 2024 Record of the Day

In 1966 the Beatles peaked at #11 on Billboard’s Hot 100 with “Eleanor Rigby.” It was the first Beatles’ release where none of the Beatles played instruments. A string section of studio musicians, composed of four violins, two cellos and two violas, performed a score composed by producer George Martin. Paul wrote most of the song, but it was Ringo who came up with the lyrics, “Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear.” The 45 with picture sleeve can now sell for up to $125.00
