The Beatles - Commonwealth


Playing Next: Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath lyrics
Random Page  /  Random Song


- Recorded January 9, 1969 during the Get Back/Let It Be sessions.
- Enoch Powell was a conservative member of Parliament and gave a fear baiting speech about if they allow immigration from the British Empire Commonwealth countries, the whites would soon be in the minority. This was obviously on the Beatles minds at the time when they did this mocking song about him and the people who believe these things.
- Many long time Beatles fans are already familiar with this, but for anyone having a negative misunderstanding of this song, watch this video to understand what was going on with late 60's British politics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjbZi2hTLVw
- This recording has been re-balanced and remastered by Red Hector.
