*Have to take issue with Cope over his dissing of 'Revolution 9' and its surrounding tracks in the otherwise admirable Japrocksampler: "sandwiched between the sub-'I Am The Walrus' cod/plod of 'Cry Baby Cry' and the Spanish-galleon over-arrangement of Macca's mawkish 'Good Night..." Makes me think he's being deliberately negative to make a point. Whether you like 'Revolution 9' or not, the sequencing here is brilliant. Far from being a plod 'Cry Baby Cry' is a wonderfully sinister track with amazing dynamics and a sense of unease that leads perfectly into the nightmare that is to come. And 'Good Night' isn't Macca's, it's Lennon's - a lullaby for Julian (ironically). Undeniably and somewhat perversely mawkish, it's therefore the ideal comfort blanket after the extended musical carnage that has preceeded it.
