Song Of The Day. Baby, Youre a Rich Man is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and recorded in 1967 by the Beatles. It was released on the B-side of the Beatles 1967 single All You Need Is Love. New mixes of the song were made available on the compilation albums Magical Mystery Tour and Yellow Submarine Songtrack. Two song fragments were combined to create Baby, Youre a Rich Man. The verses from One of the Beautiful People by John Lennon were combined with Paul McCartneys previously unaccompanied Baby, youre a rich man … chorus. Two songs were combined in a similar fashion to make A Day in the Life, and Ive Got a Feeling. Walter Everett writes that the song asks an unnamed Brian Epstein what its like to be one of the beautiful people. The song was mixed (in mono) on 11 May 1967 at Olympic Sound Studios. The music featured an unusual oboe-like sound which was created with a clavioline (an early forerunner of the synthesiser being a 3 octave monophonic keyboard) and a spin-echo (feed back delay) effect which was used to fill from the end of one line of the verse to the start of the next. Baby, Youre a Rich Man was released as the B-side of the single All You Need Is Love on 7 July 1967 in the United Kingdom and on 17 July 1967 in the United States. Later that year, against the Beatles wishes, it was included on the US album Magical Mystery Tour (made available in both mono and ‘mock stereo’). Per its original intended use, the song featured in the 1968 film Yellow Submarine (but was not included on the original accompanying soundtrack album). youtube/watch?v=gEu7fcjgWK0
