Paul on first solo verse but it is Georges solo on second shortened repeat of verse "what happened too"

Wow! Its a great song and a great sketch - but the challenge of using the song as the root for the Anthology Beatles song is massive. Johns vocal is well down below the piano (no mix) - as I suspect that the only mic was on the little tape recorder sitting on the piano. Sir George Martin did a spectacular job. George's vocal solo over the places that John was only doing a vocal riff on was integrated perfectly

@Zumbawithcindy Sir George Martin didn't do anything on the record for The Beatles version. It was Jeff Lynn.

Second, it isn't George's solo, it's Pauls!
