Blisters Fingers facts
While investigating facts about Blisters Fingers, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The Beatles track "Helter Skelter" was recorded in chaos. While Paul recorded his vocals, George lit an ashtray on fire and held it above his head, and at the end of the song, Ringo is audibly heard throwing his drumsticks and yelling, "I've got blisters on my fingers!"
The recording session for Helter Skelter was 18 takes, each about 5 minutes long. After the 18th take, Ringo Starr flung his drumsticks across the room and shouted "I've got blisters on my fingers!", a line often misattributed to John Lennon.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 4 of the best facts about Blisters Fingers I managed to collect.

After 18 takes of hard drumming on the song Helter Skelter, which Paul wanted to have "the most raucous vocal, the loudest drums, etc.", when John asked "How's that?", Ringo finally exclaimed "I've got blisters on my fingers!". The take and the exclamation were published on the album.
