I think that this topic deserves a reading, what do you think?

Quoted from mooorange

[...] The Anthology says it was the first recorded feedback ever.  
[...]
feedback - holding the guitar too close to the amp so it loops the signal and causes, well, feedback.
distortion - overdriving the amp in a way that distorts the overall sound.
[...]
That is great that the Beatles discovered it, even before Hendrix refined it and turned feedback into an artform.  

Another myth that it's not true or they (John) invented Jimi Hendrix -as it's said in theAnthologies-?

I love the song ... really innovative and a big step for them (because of the unusual drums too) made in 1964! ... far from they're so-called "Studio Years", with all that time to be bored (ask Ringo, for example) or to be working and experimeting at the studio ...
