Martha My Dear (Naked Version) - The Beatles

I've been exploring the mix of Martha My Dear lately and found the basic elements of bass, drums, guitar, and piano to be very enticing. So in the same vein as Let It Be... Naked I created a mix excluding George Martin's brilliant arrangement. I made this to highlight the basic elements such as George's guitar part which is just cracking.
This mix has the double tracked vocals while there is a version below with only one of Paul's vocals that sounds quite nice as well.

Back in the day Paul could write these. So beautiful. "Look what you've doooonnnnnne." Pure McCartney melody plucked out of the ether.

[@franklint6088]

Pure genius and genuine love... Incredible!

[@eduardocervantesaca]

loved the mix. I play it loud in my room and it is like Paul is right here playing and singing for me.

[@WillStephensArt]

Most genius song structure in their catalogue

[@sallykohorst8803]

What a piano love it so much.

[@JimHilario]

Hits "like" upon hearing the intro...

[@allenf.5907]

Thank you for this. So good. And to hear the guitar part, which was buried. The Beatles were on fire during the White Album. Also it does sound like Ringo - with the late snare sound. All recorded at Trident.

Martha my dear
Though I spend my days in conversation
Please
Remember me
Martha my love
Don't forget me
Martha my dear
Hold your head up, you silly girl
Look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Take a good look around you
Take a good look you're bound to see
That you and me
Were meant to be for each other
Silly girl
Hold your hand out, you silly girl
See what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Martha my dear
You have always been my inspiration
Please
Be good to me
Martha my love
Don't forget me
Martha my dear

One of my favourites from the White Album.

[@user-xi9lb3qq5o]

The song was recorded without John playing.

[@DJcool-tr1tk]

George and Ringo weren’t there either, all Paul. Paul played piano, guitar, bass, and drums.

[@mr_bassman6685]

@@DJcool-tr1tk George was there with his guitar in photos of the MMD recording session. What else was he doing there?
The rhythm track also had the piano, guitar and drums recorded simultaneously. Even Paul can't do that, talented as he is...

[@DJcool-tr1tk]

@@mr_bassman6685well sorry to ruin the fun, but Paul is the most talented Beatle. Look it up. He definitely managed it.

[@inferiorpatty]

@@DJcool-tr1tkpaul definitely managed to play piano guitar and drums at the same time? Ok bud

[@DJcool-tr1tk]

@@inferiorpattywell there’s a thing called multitracking you know. It’s not like they didn’t have access to an 8 track tape machine. And plus, they bounced the tracks as well.

[@framboosmatroos9392]

Well done! Though I have to point out that this is basically 'Martha My Dear (Without Brass and Strings)' on The White Album Deluxe, but with bass

[@isolatedstems]

That's pretty much what it is. Slightly different panning with the drums and guitar separated.

[@jaelge]

Played bass, (excellently),
Played piano, (excellently),
Played guitar, (excellently),
Sang w/ three octave range, (excellently).
Wrote in every genre and for many other artists other than the Beatles, (excellently),
It´s no wonder petulant Lennon resented him so much.

[@mesier]

You're so right!

[@tomc2376]

quite an adequate drummer on Back In The USSR, Ballad Of John And Yoko, Band On The Run, many others

[@jaelge]

@@tomc2376:
Absolutely. I only listed those things I thought he excelled in, but yes, he´s quite the adequate drummer, probably has gotten much better over the years if he´s practiced. .

[@gerardoromano3436]

Agree!

[@pez.emikazoo]

@@harrodsongsWhat would Paul resent Lennon for? Other than a severed friendship and years of very heavy public hate

[@ilovemusic7748]

Now do Honey Pie please

[@isolatedstems]

If I can get good enough isolation I might, but it's not likely I can do it.

[@tomc2376]

interesting and excellent. that initial studio photo I had not seen before.

[@carlweaver3243]

Way better without Brass.

[@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv]

Yes!

[@allenf.5907]

@@isolatedstems And you did it - awesome! Thanks.

[@guciowitomski3825]

Why though?
The horn arrangement is amazing

[@hapbarb]

It is - and I also enjoyed hearing Paul's gorgeous vocal, fully revealed.

[@Synchronicety]

Even if the Tavystock was part of it... you did great things back then, Dudes!!!

[@WillStephensArt]

Exactly 😂 thanks Adorno
