64 Clarinets

The Beatles - When I'm Sixty-Four
(1967: Woodwinds track)

 - Arranged for 2 clarinets and 1 bass clarinet by the great George Martin.  Why do you hear so much of the vocal track?  Because stuffed shirt classical musicians back in the 60s didn't care to wear headphones... they wanted the music played back via speakers.... thus you can hear the already recorded vocal tracks in the distance.
