Happy Jack Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Ignoring the old "Beatles are great" / "Beatles are crap" discussion, this is a particularly fine example of how a song develops over time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMRdcUHq92Q Quote
Hobbayne Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Ah yes, featuring George Harrison on a Burns bass, after Macca threw a wobbly and walked out of the studio. Edited May 1, 2013 by Hobbayne Quote
Phil Adams Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 The Beatles [i]were[/i] great. No need to deny it. Quote
Wil Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Really interesting to hear Lennon work, thanks for posting! Quote
risingson Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 One of my favourite Beatles tunes, glad it turned out better than that demo! Love Ringo's drums on the Revolver recording. Quote
Phil Adams Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I queued up outside WH Smiths in Windsor to buy Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby (double A side) the morning it was released. Couldn't afford the album until many years later. Quote
flyfisher Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I didn't know George played bass on this song. it's always interesting hearing how scrappy early 'drafts' can evolve into great songs. I've got loads of scrappy snippets but they all stubbornly resist any form of evolution. Anyway, just in case anyone hasn't heard the final version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wp91YPGnLw Quote
