Before Things Got Serious (revised)

My supposition that Paul was waging a war against EMI, the British government and ?? has its beginning in an audio I found on YouTube.  The Beatles had a song called, That Means Alot that they did not want to record.  They played with the song, and then Paul decided to wreck it.  Listen to the hilarious results at:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j-UEPB_JA  .  And this was in early 1965 (March) before things got serious.
(Revised):  The takes of these songs took place during the time The Beatles were filming Help.  If you look at enough pictures of Paul during that period,  you realize that Paul was having a very hard time.  So I think that was when things were beginning to get serious and it culminated in his being ousted from the group in July, 1966.  My sense of it is that they were threatening to remove Paul before 1966, and that his replacement showed up in interviews as early as June, 1965.  (See the next post.)
