In keeping with that nautical theme.

I don't know if this was intentional but both of these songs use the "flanging" technique in their recording.
Back then, they would play two identical tapes side by side, and then drag their finger on the edge (flange) of one to delay it slightly to create a unique cosmic sound.
Used quite a bit in the late 60's, it actually was introduced in 1959 , quite by accident.
Read the comments on the Y/T video below.



This one seems to "catch up" with one machine and possibly lead the other one in the middle somewhere.

Tomorrow Never Knows was full of overdubbed tracks recorded and played back at different speeds.
At the time that song was not able to be played live due to all the layers of changed speeds etc.
I'm sure you recall that "seagull" sound was actually a recording of Paul laughing and played back at a much fast speed.
I'm big fan of the psychedelic sound.

Another for your listening pleasure...



(Listen for "Little Drummer Boy" at around 5:30)
Always get a chuckle from that...

This might be the best known example of phasing , or flanging ,maybe, from the late 60's
Not all phasing is done by flanging. However, if you look up flanging on Wiki, they sample this song}

Garage rock is a raw form of rock and roll that was first popular in the United States and Canada from about 1963 to 1967. During the 1960s, it was not recognized as a separate music genre and had no specific name. In the late 1970s, some rock critics retroactively identified it as an early incarnation of punk rock, and it is sometimes called garage punk, protopunk, or 1960s punk; however, the music style has predominantly been referred to as garage rock.
