Hi,

you might need to add George Martin into the equation, and I am quite sure he tought them a trick or two :-)
Also bear in mind that they were exposed to jazz (they actively listened to jazz) and indian influence (Ravi Shankar), and in the Hamburg days, they had to play live for plenty of hours every night, where they needed to play a repetoire of great variation.

They seemed like playful lads who liked musical experiments as well, and had a record company that were open to such experiments.

All my loving
Peter
