(cont.)Jerry Fuller knew Leon, and "Leon had this great little home studio, just a four track." The band re-recorded the vocals there, and then overdubbed a new guitar part that was recorded from a beatup old Fender amp that gave the guitar sound a meaty, edgy feel.-----------------WOW never knew all that, except just the well known "leon russell home studio" basic fact.the guitar overdub = bouncing the original 4-track (or part of it) must account for the almost surrealistic sound

Lies is of course of the greatest rock 45s of the entire sixties ---Beau Charles: "We desperately tried to write something that sounded like the British Invasion. We wrote "Lies" in less than a half hour. We demoed it in New York." After a Jerry Fuller inspired re-arrangement, the track was recorded at Sunset Sound in West Hollywood with Bruce Botnick as the Engineer. Things were not quite right, so the multi-track master was taken to Leon Russell's house in Hollywood Hills.(cont. above)

listen to i wanna hold your hand, the part where they sing "I can't hide", then listen to this song. The knickerbockers may have "borrowed" ab it in my opinion

One of the best pop rock tunes ever. Seriously, the key changes that makes this song iconic epitomizes a classic form that the Beatles get so much credit for. Still holds it's own against anything in the genre.

@saunders49 I think all us kids that had their ears glued to their transistors radios thought it was The Beatles!
