Thanks for listening ecca, the opening stereo parts are certainly shifted a few ms from l/r to give that distinctive sound. DT'ing was the norm for most beatle tracks particularly the vocals.
Thanks Ian, it took little while, about 2 weeks with a bit of a break the last few days for a drop or two. The drums as all my sequenced parts are, input as a note/hit individually into midi tracks in Cubase 5, the drums are a vsti BFD2.see this link

Cheers,
