George later said it was Paul, he wasn’t into giving Paul a ton of extra credit.

 

It’s split on the internet discussions...

[Helpmenow]

Research this and it is mentioned that it was John not George.

I’ve read three sites tonight that quoted George saying it was Paul

 

 

 

 

The discussion occurred in the early 1990s, John wasn’t available for some reason

[Helpmenow]

Beatles bible used and others still think it’s either. Either way it’s good.

Album photo cover was taken today in 1968.... you know the story if you care, I won't elaborate..

It is John on the opening.

             I'm behind the times but this is the first time I have heard this.   The start sounds like "Black or White"

 

   I was on a plane today and I chose to listen to the Red Album on my mp3 player.  Bose noise canceling headphones.   I always enjoy listening to them, trying to guess who is singing what.   They did have a great vocal sound and they are probably under-rated in that regard.   It is also a great album to hear how they progressed.

thanks Greybeard, the hardest (to me) thing to pick out is George's harmony on John or Paul songs, I think they deliberately mixed him down to put him in his place.

 

 

On Sullivan, John's voice was shot (often happened) or his mic wasn't working (happened a lot), so you get Paul's contribution.

 

 

 

Washington gives you John's part as Paul is washed out.

 

 

 

A good guide to their contributions to this classic.

 

On the single they are in unison for the first two lines, with John dominating for most of the rest of it.

George releases his soundtrack Wonderwall, the first solo album in 1968.

 

A film of the 60s, anything with Jane Birkin was alright by me.

Macca arrived in Japan kinda like the 60’s the other day, except that he is 76.

I haven't seen him live but gave 2 pairs of tickets as gifts for separate concerts to fans who really appreciated it.

 

What is your favourite part of his catalogue?

 

Mine are the throwaway masterpieces Good Day Sunshine and For No One, doing his thing while John was doing his.

in 1965, end of shootings for this Granada TV special, well worth the watch for some parts...

we've heard them so much.....

 

a top 40 station ran a Big 500 top pop singles countdown a few years ago, but The Beatles weren't allowed in it, they'd take up 25 of the top 40.

I don’t go to stones concerts for the same reason. Play the back catalog once in awhile.
