NOTES:
1.  Lennon regarded In My Life particularly highly, citing it - along with Strawberry Fields Forever, 
I Am The Walrus and Help! - as among his best.  “…For In My Life, I had a complete set of lyrics after 
struggling with a journalistic vision of a trip from home to downtown on a bus naming every sight. … 
And it was, I think, my first real major piece of work. Up till then it had all been sort of glib and 
throwaway. And that was the first time I consciously put my literary part of myself into the lyric. 
Inspired by Kenneth Alsopf sic, the British journalist, and Bob Dylan….” - John Lennon, All We Are Saying, 
that he found he could not play at the song's tempo. On 22 October, the solo was recorded with the 
harpsichord. …”  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_My_Life
