I guess I thought it was unique to have two different drummers on the song .. and impressed with how well they played with each other.
When this came out I was 13 and even then noticing things like this.
And yes I've heard all the above and toured a couple studios from those days (museums now) just to fathom how they managed to do what they did with so little to work with.

Touring Motown (Hitsville USA) was really enlightening in particular.
If you like recording I recommend taking the tour if ever in the area.

For those from the south Muscle Shoals is also pretty cool in its own way.



I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
