Just for authenticity verification, perhaps you could check Revolution on your cassette. On the vinyl it would readily skip parts of it, it wasn’t until the advent of CDs did I ever hear Revolution completely. I remember listening to Revolution No.9 back in the 70s and being freaked out and scared by it. Ahhh…the naive years!!
K-Dub - David R and I came over one night for board games while your family were out. You swore me to secrecy about the recording so that your brother wouldn't find out. It must've been early in the album's rotation as the cassette had a good recording of 'Revolution'. I found it novel because my Dad had a vinyl copy of the 'Hey Jude' US compilation album containing the heavy rock version of Revolution, so to hear the White album version was an eye-opener. Regarding no. 9, I listened to that many times, holding the view that if listening to an album, one had to listen to the whole album and not cherry-pick. Consequently, I have developed a fondness for phrases like 'Eldorado', 'The Watuzi', 'Riii-iiigh-iiigh-iiight on', and 'If you become naked'.
