They did not. George and John despised the song. They kept it from being released as a single in the UK and US. It was a hit in the rest of the world. Paul’s perfectionism resulted in marathon sessions for this one. It was one of the reasons their producer quit. But Paul was 100% right on this one. Great song.
possible suggestion for future videos (though perhaps its not allowed) is add an extra section at the end with the full song. Ive been jumping between two videos... but beggars cant be choosers. this is amazing either way
can we get a Tomorrow Never Knows deconstruction?? i really love that song and i think hearing the tape loops and backwards guitar solo isolated would sound really cool
Definitely Ringo on drums, can’t miss that groove. But the tom sounds are really different (open and ringy, timbale-like maybe) and his fills are often tentative. My guess is that Ringo was a bit out of his comfort zone trying to get closer to a reggae sound/style. That might seem a leap but I don’t think so. Many of his fills place an emphasis on hitting the “one” or playing across the bar line. Just a thought. But that bass drum foot? Definitely Ringo.
The drumming is quite bad on this one. Don't believe it's Ringo. Everytime there is a syncopated eighth note on the kick drum the timing is badly off. Like at 1:02.
It’s interesting how Paul’s best work was done while his friends were pissed at his perfectionism. I sure that those watching know this but For those that don’t know this song is famous for the number of takes it took to get right. They joke about it in “get back”.
Surely this song was a lot of fun for them, and maybe even made them feel like they were actually as good as everyone seemed to think they were! I mean, there’s just not many that could do a song like this. Of course, Paul was responsible for most all of it, as far as its creation.
I’m no expert since I wasn’t there, but there are sources that say otherwise. Those sources say it wasn’t all fun and games recording this song. Because Paul was a perfectionist. The Beatles worked on this song for many days. Paul even shelved the first version of the song which took three whole days to finish and included session musicians. The other Beatles were not happy about doing a remake (which is the final version in this video that ultimately went on the White Album). I thought the original version was great. It was finally released in the mid 90’s on the Beatles Anthology 3 album. Believe it or not, Paul even started a THIRD version because he wasn’t even sure he was satisfied with this. But ultimately, he scrapped remake 3 and just polished up the tracks they had already completed.
Hey, thanks a ton for this! It's so amazing to hear things you don't usually pick out in the full mix and I'm ultra-grateful to you for putting this out! Just one request here: I was wondering if you could isolate JUST the piano for me. I can share my email with you if that's possible :) ❤️
I never really heard this as being a ska/rocksteady song until hearing all the parts broken down individually. The Anthology version of “You know my name” has a ska section too.
Probably inspired by the riff from "Don't Be Cruel" by Elvis. If not, from a dozen other tunes like "20 Flight Rock" by Eddie Cochran. It's old as the hills.
It was recorded all at the same time, it is impossible because Paul only recorded the bass, and overdubs of piano and acoustic guitar. the piano, the drums, the arrangements of sax, guitar and everything, were recorded live and at the same time
@phillydisco sounds nothing like paul in 1968 , there is a confidence that pauls playing lacked on this track, its locked in and on time, hearing macca struggle and fail to keep time on "dear prudence" tells you this confident track aint him at all.
@phillydisco and? the feel on oblidi is far better than that track so not seeing the point. the "fills" are similar but the feel is utterly different? its still ringo
según Geoff Emerick, la versión definitiva quedó establecida cuando John, totalmente drogado, trajo la introducción de piano con que conocemos el tema. les gustó a todos y la grabaron entre los cuatro Beatles. Pero al día siguiente Paul se puso otra vez quisquilloso y pidió rehacerla ante el disgusto de John y George. Ringo no estaba, entonces Paul se sentó a la batería. esto no agrega nada a la historia de Paul reemplazando a Ringo durante las sesiones del Álbum Blanco. así que espero que la memoria haya traicionado esta vez a Geoff Emerick y el que toque acá sea realmente Ringo.
Listen at 8:32 or again at 11:39. 32 Years ago I could have sworn I heard Ringo tell me to "take ob la di". Now I can once again hear that voice clearly but it doesn't sound like Ringo. It is more likely John and I'm wondering if it is in fact saying what I thought I heard on my walkman 32 years ago in the parking lot at FoodTown where I pushed carts for maybe $4 an hour. Now I can hear "home... take ob la di". Anyone know wtf?
Please please tell me you guys hear that super low F note @12:51 I'm driving myself insane trying to figure out if that was a distorted chord or something else
@phillydisco and this track has confidence, macca couldnt keep time on "dear prudence" he hasnt a chance on anything thats more difficult than 4/4 at this point in his drumming career.
It's definitely Ringo. The way Ringo hits the high hats like he's sweeping the floor is very distinct. Paul is good enough to possibly get close, but no way does he get close to emulating Ringi
@phillydisco nah, it's no question asked Ringo, I mentioned it in an early comment, but Paul doesn't sweep his high hats hits. There's a distinct difference in how hitting the high hats normally versus sweeping the hits Also, Ringo played in the previous take, be weird if he wouldn't play here
no, it's a very elegant song, Paul wrote it bc he was impressed by the simple (or sustainable) life people lived in rural India. Which is reflected in this gem both music- and lyricswise. Too bad people don't get it. Certainly, he was not preaching practises or lecturing the whole world while lying on the bed. That sucks, hands down!
The more I listen to it, the more i dislike it!!! When it came out this was my favorite song from the album, now (50 years older) it is one of the ones I like the least. Drums sound is terrible (don't sounds like Ringo's). Today, what I like the most are John's and George's "singing-jokes".

I wonder if they thought that someday people would be listening to the tracks individually and hear those little things
Hearing The Beatles being 'deconstructed' is like being in the studio with them! These are great! Thank you for posting them all...
Just how they recorded it ?
Yes!
Yup
I’m so addicted to isolated tracks
Yea! I'm gonna download these and remix them. Adding some timpani on ringos fills. Abd some stacked Brian May guitars... lol.
The sheer JOY heard in this song
is incredible. These lads were
on top of the whole world.
I love how the 2nd "market place" is sung in Scouse (11:00). Magic!!! YNWA
kinda sounds like a Boston accent
Marccccccckitplace...that Scouse accent with its Scottish roots
A genius of a song that only Paul McCartney and the Beatles could do!
John lennon and his Beatles were great.
that acoustic guitar doubling the bassline is absolutely badass
Dees guys had too much fun making Music for all of us masses (says this envious guy) and Thank God for all of that!
The isolated bass solved all my problems with getting that song.
Look on you tube it’s easy to play(fake it) wrong.
Hey, what a lovely bass!
Rediscovered how much I love this song!
Wow, I'm hearing notes that I never could make out before from the saxophones.
Omg I knew about ”arm” and ”leg”, but I had no idea that there’s also ”foot”! At around 8:50!!
George says ”foot"
Когда в детстве слушал Beatles и много других групп , то как не хватало вот такого расклада! Спасибо . Все на слуху !
It sounds like they all had a lot of fun recording this so g!
They did not. George and John despised the song. They kept it from being released as a single in the UK and US. It was a hit in the rest of the world. Paul’s perfectionism resulted in marathon sessions for this one. It was one of the reasons their producer quit.
But Paul was 100% right on this one. Great song.
These are all excellent. It’s refreshing to hear all the songs with a different perspective especially the drums since I am a drummer. Great job.
Love your work! Always looking forward to a new song! Just love the Beatles
Do you want to know a secret? - I love Paul. Apparently, Vocal Percussion was invented by the Beatles.
Listen to those lalalalas and just smile at those talented lads...my God. Saxes and piano delighting you all
Right, all in all, we listened to 3 parts sung by Paul. Me too, I adore his voice, DLD2 Music!
Would you ever consider deconstructing the take 3 version? I really want to hear John and George's harmonies up close.
I never realized how distorted the acoustic guitar was!
Pretty impressed that at the 8:00 mark, Paul McCartney in 1968 does a pretty sick beatbox!
possible suggestion for future videos (though perhaps its not allowed) is add an extra section at the end with the full song. Ive been jumping between two videos... but beggars cant be choosers. this is amazing either way
If they include the entire song, it will get blocked.
I hear that piano intro and immediately get into a better mood. Thank you Beatles!
can we get a Tomorrow Never Knows deconstruction?? i really love that song and i think hearing the tape loops and backwards guitar solo isolated would sound really cool
Another great song by the Beatles! Yes 😂i used headphones for the bass great!
The first picture of Paul is so fricken cool

@onderov Agree. I recon it's Paul drumming this. The fills are a bit clumsy and it all sounds a bit stiff.
Ska music is out of their comfort zones
私の中で2番目に好きな曲です😍🎸⛩🇯🇵🗾👍🎼🎤
Sounds like they had great fun
Brilliant horn line.
Perfect Just Perfect!!!
Paul’s thick scouse accent very prominent when he sings ‘market’.
Sensacional!!!!!!
At 7:48, is that the sound of a door creaking, or Paul (or maybe Yoko) doing an imitation of a banshee?
That is Yoko trying to sing along
So awesome! 💯🫶🏻😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent stuff.

Seeing this song was Ska influenced, it would seem possible the “Desmond” character was inspired by Desmond Dekker and “Marley” was Bob Marley.
It's Molly, not Marley, otherwise, you got the Desmond Dekker reference

That HAD to be John.
Macca's bass is amazing, is it called ska or something else? Any musicians who played in that style?
is more Reggae
Oh yeah, i've recalled Bob Marley
Probably inspired by the riff from "Don't Be Cruel" by Elvis. If not, from a dozen other tunes like "20 Flight Rock" by Eddie Cochran. It's old as the hills.
Didn't know there was a reaction in the track to Paul's screw up near the end, but now I can't unhear the confused "What?" after he says it.
masterful

Are there any more photos of Paul using his psychedelic Rick from the White Album sessions? They're pretty rare, he's usually seen with his Jazz Bass
you can see paul with his Ricky only in Obladi sessios
The Sax players on the " Reggae " version were James Gray, Rex Morris and Cyril Morris. I wonder if their performance was used on the final version?
idk, maybe
Según el libro recording sessions los saxofonistas fueron James Gray, Rex Morris y Cyril Reuben el 5 de julio de 1968.
