Re: Paul's DB5

I read in McCartney's book *Many Years From Now* that he would get
frustrated with this car. . often having to take it to the shop for
adjustments and repairs.  This was the car Paul would drive out into the
country to meet with John, rouse him up and write songs together.

The engine in this DB5 looks like the straight 6 Jag engine of the same
era.  Is it the same engine that Aston Martin used?


PS
My take. .  . The best of the best would have to be Geoff Emericks account
of recording the Beatles which came out just a couple of years ago.  *Here
There and Everywhere My Life Recording the Beatles.*  If you are interested
in the primitive recording techniques and the subsequent wonderful analogue
sound derived there from. .  it is a great read.  Emerick, based on the
growing popularity of the Beatles and the money they were bringing into EMI
broke several standard rules to effect the sound of the group.  Song
writing insights are included as well as their interpersonal relationship
in the studio . . Yoko being wheeled in on a hospital bed as John gave her
a mic to "advise the group."  A major frustration to the band.  (Just after
Yoko and John had a car accident and she was still healing).  For me . .
fascinating stuff.
