Rob Sheffield Quote
The other songs they recorded that May were silly ones—All Together Now, Baby You’re a Rich Man, You Know My Name (Look Up the Number). It’s All Too Much might seem silly too, but it rocks, which the Beatles weren’t much interested in doing in 1967, a chance to hear all four Beatles concentrating on a single idea for a stretch of time. They show off individually (at any moment, you can pick out what any particular Beatle is doing) yet slip into the collective groove.
