John Lennon : I thought I was taking some uppers. I suddenly got scared on the mike. I thought I felt ill, and I thought I was going to crack. I said I must get some air. George Martin was looking at me funny and then it dawned on me I must have taken acid. I said, 'Well, I can't go on. You'll have to do it and I'll just stay and watch.' They had all been very kind and they carried on making the record.
