Happy Jack Posted May 1, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted May 1, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

risingson Posted May 1, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Adams Posted May 1, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfisher Posted May 2, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
