don’t like the 2009 ones where the vocals are only on one side, the kick drum is really on one side on the yellow submarine 2022 mix and this makes no sense, the 2015 mix is good
At the end, the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, seems to go back to the yeah, yeah, yeah of She Loves You, which was a unique, identifying feature of the Beatles. Several songs by the Beatles do include features that are from earlier hits. I don't know if that's what George was doing, but it reminded me of the earlier Beatles. BTW, John, Paul and George all played organs. In addition, George played acoustic guitar, and Paul played bass and piano in this song. Clapton played the weeping lead guitar, according to the Beatles Bible website.
George was trying to get the others to help him with the song, but they were really not caring about it So the next day, George came in with Eric Clapton, and the rest of the lads were suddenly on their best behavior and everybody chipped in and it turned out to be a fantastic song.
Why Eric Clapton? The clue is in the song title and theme. Harrison was marginalised and underappreciated by the big two and by George Martin. They all admitted that later on. He was a year younger than McCartney who already had a musical relationship with Lennon when Harrison joined the group. He was younger, so developed later and was junior at a time when age mattered. He was on his own whereas the big two had each other from the start and, even later, they wrote solo with the other partner in the back of their mind. Harrison's guitar was weeping at the under-appreciation and lack of opportunity to show what he could do. He was friends with the even younger Clapton who was, by then, the fastest gun in the London guitar scene so he brought in Clapton as a big gun whom the big two had to respect
George Harrison is an amazing songwriter. His song writing talant gets often overshadowed by his role as guitarist in Beatles due to Lennon & McCartney. Because they wrote most of the Beatles catalog.
As John and Paul divorced, we heard albums from each that certainly showed the signs of the Missing Editor-Best Friend. There were so many solo songs that felt as if Paul needed John to kick it around, or far more John needed Paul. And it wasn't always a musical or lyrical insertion - I had this sense that John was pushing out track with a "I don't care - Paul's not hear to snip at me" effect. And this is something many songwriters could use - not just an actual editor, a deleter or bad, a bringer of good - but that person in their life that the composer 'lives up to'. That they know they will play it in front of that person, so they KNOW they gotta do their best.
In most instances, the recording engineers for The Beatles typically designated their vocals on one side. I suppose you can call it an 'old school' mix. One would think that being presented with the opportunity to remix everything, they would make an effort to balance the vocals. But on the other hand, perhaps the engineers didn't want the changes to be too drastic. Naturally, there are people who are not impressed with the results. I believe the mixing engineers were faced with limitations at the time on what they could do with the material handed to them. One Beatles remix that I thoroughly enjoy is the Love CD, released in 2006, as part of the Cirque du Soleil show. George Martin and his son, Giles, did an absolutely phenomenal job with the producing the album. Many of the tunes sound unlike any of the original Beatle songs you are accustomed to. Certain songs, Strawberry Fields for instance, are intertwined with multiple bits and pieces from other Beatle songs. It makes me smile everytime I listen to it. They also did a superb job of fusing Blackbird and Yesterday into one song. The best overall remix, however, is Revolution. I urge you guys to check it out. The heavily distorted guitars played by John and George, are separated and designated to opposite speakers. It now sounds like an entirely different song. On a closing note, Love won a Grammy for the Best Surround Sound Album. Cheers!

If I find a remix of a 60's song to be inadequate, distracting, weird, etc, i give the mono mix a listen. Preferably a YT video playing the vinyl recording. After all, the mono mix was the primary mix of the time, as the stereo mix was less important and was meant to be listened to through speakers as part of a stereo system.
Not sure why you're advocating the mono version. I bought the White Album in 1968 when it came out and it was stereo. But I agree about the remix. Modern remixers seem to think they understand what the artist intended better than the artist.
@@richardcork6918 Back then, they were guessing how to make stereo work. White album at the beginning of stereo apart from hifi geeks. Almost everyone only had mono record players, at best Garrard, otherwise Dansette, or what we called stereograms - like a dining room sideboard with an autochanging Garrard record player in the middle, crude speakers at each end of the cabinet so the speakers vibrated the stylus, and a radio tuner. Agreed about that mix
I agree about the terrible remix, this song is maybe the worst affected on the White album. Apparently, the flanging effect on Clapton's guitar was added at his own request to disguise the fact that it was him. Lennon supposedly played some guitar but I don't know how audible it is in the final mix.
They remix for money. Non 1st gen listeners expect 'modern' sound. Sounded like John yea yea yeaing at the end but probably George. I'm a 1st gen, well remember when they exploded in the US in 1964 on the Ed Sullivan show. Seems everyone was watching. So fab. The worst remix is 'Walrus'. Thanks guys.
This is the best version. Avoid watching Tom Petty and company get pissed when Prince RUINED the concert for George Harrison, by showboating the simple pentatonic scale over and over, making it about himself instead of honoring the late Harrison.
@@MoreMeetArthur Common consensus is that the Beatles sound better in the original mono mixes, up until Abbey Road which was stereo only. More punchy and none of this awful left/right panning with a hole in the middle.
Apparently, there are no music reactors who know that The Beatles albums and singles were all primarily mixed for MONO and not stereo, except for Abbey Road. They worked hard on the Mono mixes and the Stereo mixes were practically just an afterthought. That's why you see all these UA-camrs totally not understanding that when all the instruments are playing in one ear and all the vocals are in the other, that it's not a "cool" thing they wanted to do, it's just a result of the limitations of the available technology of those times. Most of The Beatles music was recorded on 4 tracks, Please Please Me was recorded on 2 tracks, and they didn't update to 8 tracks until part way into the White Album. These guys here are obviously more knowledgeable thankfully, so maybe in the future you might want to skip the ridiculous altered new remixes and just listen to the Mono versions as the Fabs intended them to be heard. Cheers!
It's George on the yeah-yeah-yeah's at the end, and it's been there all along since '68👍
Thank you!
One of the Top 3 Beatle songs. Such a great song.
Good guys. Finally a George Song he was so underestimated
My Sweet George ❤❤❤🎸🎸🎸
The yeah yeah yeah at the end is George and is audible on my dad’s original 1968 vinyl. And on any other mix I’ve ever heard.
Awesome!
I hear the kick drum in the middle and down, always liked this mix
don’t like the 2009 ones where the vocals are only on one side, the kick drum is really on one side on the yellow submarine 2022 mix and this makes no sense, the 2015 mix is good

Sounds about right!
I absolutely love this song, it’s about working hard for your family at night while they’re home peacefully sleeping. ❤

Beautiful from start to finish. Epic classic.
Very true
Giles Martin son of George Martin the Beatles producer, did this 2018 remix.
Eric Clapton plays on this.
He does!

I (Dan) absolutely love Love!
Sometimes I catch myself singing the mash ups or different solos to the original songs because of it
Just like Queen, there are no bad Beatles songs!
Their music spanned the advance from 4 to 16 recording tracks...vinyl to 8 track to cassette then CD.
Original releases are the best in my opinion. It's what you were meant to hear. Analog rules.

Said no one else, ever!
Why don't you listen to the mono mix!
Would be an interesting contrast!

And don't use headphones - get GOOD speakers for mono-listening.
