within the group...At one point after a criticism from Paul, Ringo Starr walked out and didn't return for a couple of weeks....John had become disillusioned with the group and wanted to leave....Many of the songs were 'pseudo-solo' or at least by less than the full group.
This was a consequence of how they were starting to be more interested in their own individual talent.
During Ringo's absence, drums were handled by Paul on 'Dear Prudence' and all three remaining Beatles on 'Back In The U.S.S.R."
