George Harrison

PAUL MCCARTNEY and The Beatles' producer, George Martin, grew frustrated with George Harrison during the recording of one of his songs from Revolver.

He told the journalist: "I remember the day he [Harrison] called to ask for help on Taxman, one of his first songs. I threw in a few one-liners to help the song along because that’s what he asked for. Despite this, the guitarist "reluctantly agreed" to let McCartney do his solo for him. But the perfectionist could not quite finish off the song exactly how he wanted. The mean-spirited song was aimed at the HMRC who, he claimed, were taking lots of money from him in income tax. In the mid-1960s The Beatles were releasing albums thick and fast.
