Cultural references

Seems there is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Beatles_(album)&diff=prev&oldid=1186081721 bit of a dispute] over this section. While I don't like edit-warring, I'm actually fairly ambivalent about whether the article should include this. So can somebody briefly summarise the pros and the cons for it? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:44, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

:Also ambivalent. If the sources (and then the paragraph) connected these issues up with the album itself rather than just being contemporaneous, it would make more sense to include them here. And a different section: usually "cultural references" mean culture referencing the subject, not "impressions of the authors from around that time." --John (User:Jwy/talk) 16:14, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Arrival dates

There is mention of the differing departure dates, so wouldn’t it be appropriate to mention the arrival dates? There are two, 15 February and 19 February, so can I suggest "mid-February"? Boscaswell talk 19:59, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

"Style" consistency

I had reverted this or a version of it:

"The Beatles also broke with the band's tradition at the time of incorporating several musical styles in one song by keeping each piece of music consistently faithful to a select genre."

as it didn't ring right to me: I had not noticed such a "tradition." The body of the article (I had missed it before, sorry) has "the band was getting into the habit" which would make "tradition" a little strong?

I would be interested in what songs on previous albums are considered part of this "tradition." --John (User:Jwy/talk) 01:12, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
