George recorded vocals for Now and Then? I know he’s in the background vocals pulled from old Beatles songs but I thought it was just John and Paul on the verses and chorus.
@@jflynarchives I'd wish it was, but that part is actually exactly the totally straining, warbling part which gives away it's all recent vocals though. Listen how wide his range his range still was in the mid-90’s, with clean notes and perfectly controlled technique with nicely placed vibrato, with his distinctive timber almost fully intact: ua-cam.com/video/7BOkznqdo4A/v-deo.htmlsi=ZRv6obNsJGPCYyqC&t=818 And then vs Now And Then: ua-cam.com/video/Qn2Xw1xcZOQ/v-deo.htmlsi=jWl6R5v3cWV0qS_M&t=16 The latter has a straining range, cracking notes, with very little vocal control intact and barely anything of his distinctive timbre left, with his older age breathing technique (like on the “I-I-I” notes). And every note on this recording sound by the same singer of the same age. None is from the 90’s. Which is in no way knocking him by the way, 50+ in the 90's vs 80+ years old. I’m hoping we get to hear 100 year old vocals, and I would be there for every single second of new music.
@@jflynarchives My hunch is they only recorded guide vocals or did incomplete vocal takes in the mid-90's, and the difference would've been too jarring. It's a pity McCartney never recorded his vocals when he first started talking about resurrecting this song in mid-00's. Around 2013 was the cut-off point for the distinctive character in his vocals.
Love this! Thanks for sharing!!

@@thelevisullivan they used his vocal samples from the old songs
Are there any ‘94/‘95 vocals from Paul in there?
@@AppleCorp3 Listen carefully to the "you to be there for me" part
@ yes that like and one or two others I thought sounded more like 90s Macca than current warbler Macca

@strangedaysindeed9 i still don't know why didn't he use the 95 vocals

Can you post George's vocals isolated? It's very cool!
There's not much but I'll try
@ineverseeyouanymore Thanks!
@@pedrobeatlecreator but i can upload the lost anthology version since I have the original session tape
@@pedrobeatlecreator The bad news is that I could only share a few seconds of the session because UA-cam has terrible copyright rules :/
How, do you have All for love@@jflynarchives
I've played around with Now and Then too in my channel, if you wanna check it out
