Just wanted to add another compliment for this one since it looks like it almost never saw the light of day.
You know when the double-tracked lead vocals come in near the beginning, I can completely convince myself that it's a new Beatles tune with John singing. This is more magical for me than the Beatle's own Free As a Bird was. I sent this one around the office and everyone loved it.
And did anyone comment on what Tricia did near the end? Four completely different harmonies for the same background vocal line. Very nice, I rarely hear background vocals infuse so much personality into a tune.
Peter,
Fancy you digging this song up from the mists of time....thanks so much for the very kind words.
This one was a real collab in every sense of the term - everyone contributed original ideas to the song. Holger intepreted the vocal superbly, Tricia added a heady mix of background harmonies, Roger came up with cool Harrison/Atkins guitar lines, and Mark (CD) did a stellar job of organizing us and coming up with a exquisite 'vintage' mix (check out the wispy/sizzle effect of the vocals at places).
I will always retain fond memories of this one.
Cheers
Andy
PS - What Goes On - that reminds me -- at one point Mark threatened to mix all the guitars on the left and the vocals and drums on the right
.....the Beatles catalogue needs remixing not remastering- specially for ipod listening!!!
