F irst of all, sorry about the condition of the label (all complaints may be directed to Andrea Toepfer, c/o the careless past). “All You Need Is Love” is my favorite song from The Beatles, despite the fact that it doesn’t really make any sense to me. I think many people have interpreted the song’s message as “You can do anything with Love,” when in fact it’s more like “You can’t do anything different than anybody else with Love.” Not exactly inspirational, although John’s utopias always seemed to align more with communism than anarchy. (And the lyrics may simply be a case of something that sounds cool on the surface.) The B side is more psychedelic, no doubt influential on The Rolling Stones (whose Mick Jagger and Brian Jones appear on the recording according to Songfacts). Both the A and B side later appeared on the catch-all Magical Mystery Tour album.
