@Caputomi I think this might not be the final album version. It's probably one of the (I assume) many takes. It's cool, different and not as perfect as the Abbey Road version, but cool to hear the "work in progress."
Listen to how "The End" has no lyrics in it. They probably didn't put them in because they decided to start the recording over and just leave this take alone. Just a guess.
As a Boomer, I've listened to alot of rock/pop music, both "classic rock" and everything that is currently produced. I still say that "Abbey Road" is the greatest album ever made, not for any great innovation, but for sheer excellence and enjoyment.
With Beatles in mind, I've posted the video, "40 years in 3 minutes" -- a music video containing the Beatles' rooftop performance and historical events all cut tightly to GET BACK and GLASS ONION. Hope you enjoy!
Sounds like a distorted cassette tape, but Martin's orchestral arrangements are also missing. Amazing what Martin was able to do for the Beatles music.
we have a family tradition that a.s.a.p upon birth, the father will sing to the newborn child. this was my sons choice for his new son. (of course i may have influenced him) welcome to life lil guy, we love you, now love on this.! lol.
@akjadestar No, maybe 14 people don't like listening to what sounds like a cassette players with dying batteries. The pitch is wrong, and it's all distorted!
The Beatles were the strongest voice of a generation of many strong, talented voices. Nature set them apart for a reason. It is so we do not just think they were just another great band, so we look closer and listen a little better. Go to TruthContest(dot)com, and on the main page of the contest, open The Present and read the section about The Beatles. Every Beatles fan needs to see this.
This seems to be an early version of the medley before the orchestra was overdubbed. It was Paul on piano and lead vocal, John on 6 string bass, George on electric guitar Ringo drumming.
The End actually has a solo by each Beatle: Ringo on drums, then Paul, George, and John in that order on guitar, each in his own distinctive style. (except for Ringo, who's style was not to have solos)
Yeah, there's been some question - this is a rough mix. The instruments are the released version, Paul's solo vocal is a guide (with a possible tape glitch at the beginning). Paul, George and Ringo have already overdubbed their vocals (twice it sounds like) 'Weight', and the guitars are there. George plays bass live to Paul's piano. "The End" is just the basic track...and the final piano is not out of tune because none of the overdubs have happend yet. They still had a long way to go!
@johnafilis old technology,and this wasnt the final version of the song- better versions came later.--sadly technology ruined a great song--the remixed Beatles albums have good sound now
in those days musicians were more adventurous, i mean how can you go from "carry that weight" to " you never give me your money" back and forth, and finalize with "the end".
I love so much different music but if I had to define only 1, I would have to vote the Beatles cause they always took chances. Led Zep was Led Zep; Pink Floyd was Pink Floyd: etc but they always sounded different due their brillance. Great observation.
i agree whit davidetermini,they born to make us dream,they were the best singers i mean george,paul and lennon whit ringo.i need to listen them nearly every day, even if i feel good or if i feel bad.iam listening them since i was a little girl and i will never give up.
i was just saying cuz you said "no one in my generation really likes The Beatles either." so i was like how is that everyone i know loves them and i'm young... but whatever :?
i will like somebody teel me why paul croos the street whithouth shoes.they were the best anyway.my husband and i adored forever,thanks for beeing beatles.
it's part of the whole 'paul is dead' conspiracy, he is dressed as a dead man would be at many funeral services around the world, casual-formal, no shoes
all a hoax mind, but an interesting one
check out wikipedia search 'paul is dead', pretty cool stuff
my mom told me when i was a baby and i wouldn't stop crying she sang it to me to help me fall asleep. this song ia my favorite beatles song and i've been a fan of them since i was 7
And where is "And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make" ????
