Donate to KEXP today! https://www.kexp.org/donate/\n\n--\n\n\"Instant Karma\" was written and recorded on January 27th, 1970, and released just ten days later on February 6th. John Lennon shared, \"I wrote it in the morning on the piano, like I said many times, and I went to the office and I sang it. I thought, 'Hell, let’s do it,' and we booked the studio. And Phil [Spector] came in, he said, 'How do you want it?'\" \"I said, 'You know, 1950 but now.' And he said 'Right,' and boom, I did it in just about three goes. He played it back, and there it was. I said, 'A bit more bass, that’s all.' And off we went. See, Phil doesn’t fuss about with fuckin’ stereo or all the bullshit. Just 'Did it sound alright? Let’s have it.'\" \"It doesn’t matter whether something’s prominent or not prominent. If it sounds good to you as a layman or as a human, take it. Don’t bother whether this is like that or the quality of this. That suits me fine.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
