[Beatlemania63]

GREAT AND I MEAN GREAT VIDEO!

[bsbob52]

Nice job on the video !

[RazoSG]

I absolutely love that distorted guitar playing in the back...it just sounds so awesome. Great remix, thanks a lot!

[johnnyM025]

very good schubie2 well done

[TheIntruders]

I don't understand why the 1971 stereo mix has become the accepted when it is clearly inferior and butchers the ending.

[YERBLUES87]

Great!

[nightcrawler511]

songs like this take me away from reality, well done lads

[TNTIV]

Beast

[DejaVuSu]

You put it all together very nicely.



[Soltan7]

I love what you did here. Not only does it sound great, but I see footage I have never seen before of The Beatles.Topper most of the Popper most!!

[jventimusic]

Phase cancellation to the max :(

[taytelay]

my attempt at the same thing!

[freethequeen]

hey, this is nice, mate

[beatlesopera]

There are actually videos to all of the songs on the magical mystery tour album except this one. Bravo!

[totaldrambeatles22]

@beatlesopera actually there is a promo on the anthology but was not in the 60s

[PC3900]

Wow, this is superior to the official remixes. Great job.

[TheOrochimaruKun]

I think the thing that made them incredible was the same thing that explains why those with Down Syndrome are the happiest of all people: They live for themselves, in a positive way, and aren't afraid to be what they are, even if what they are isn't desired.

[idaslpdhr]

John doesn't sing rich fag jew or rich fat jew, and it wasn't aimed at Brian epstien, your all talking bullshit... Brian died in August 1967, this was recorded in December

John loved Brian and would never do that.

[TheKenfig]

@idaslpdhr No it WASN'T ! This was released first as the 'B' side of 'All You Need Is Love' single, released on 7 July,1967. I bought it when it came out ; how the hell was it recorded in DECEMBER ??

[idaslpdhr]

@TheKenfig Yeah your right it was recorded on 11 may 1967, originally intended for the yellow submarine soundtrack, Got me dayes mixed up, Point was not rich fat jew.

[TheKenfig]

@idaslpdhr Youre right John DID love Brian and was the closest to him even though all the band were great friends with him. Ironically, it didn't stop John from making fun of him, which was typical of Lennon, who was known to say nasty things, even though it was 'skin deep'. Dont think he would have SANG 'rIch FAG Jew' but he did apparently, earlier on in their career, say when Epstein asked him what he should call his autobiography, "QUEER JEW" and when he said he was meeting a friend....

[TheKenfig]

....say "at which TOILET ?" in reference to his homosexuality. John was most likely to have said that in front of the other Beatles though

[sakalan]

The Stones were influenced by this track. You can hear it in the style, the bass and the singing.

[JiacIakolenna]

Wonderful!!

[12bar145ne]

haha fuckin great mix..thanks

[MegaObserver1]

This is a combination of two unfinished songs. John's "Beautiful People" and Paul's "Baby You're A Rich Man." John's part was entirely about Brian Epstein. He was saying that Epstein was one of the "beautiful people" - a term that was widely used in 1967 to describe rich jet setters who facied themselves as "hippies".

[secondeagle]

Does anyone else hear Mick Jagger on this track? It's weird, but I think I do. Some Beatles book referenced on Wikipedia adds that the name "Mick" is included as singing backing vocals on the session log. Could it be? What do you all think?

[schubie2]

@secondeagle Yes, that is possible. This was the only Beatles track recorded at The Stone's Olympic Sound Studios & it is verified he attended some of the sessions. If you really want to hear Mick listen to Carly Simon's " You're So Vain."

[1bonbonbon]

@secondeagle yes at 2:46 rich man too.

[12stringsforme]

@secondeagle Sure. The weird horn is a saxaphone played by Brian Jones, sped up. So why not.

[secondeagle]

@12stringsforme The "weird horn" is a synthesizer line played on a clavioline; the rumors of Brian Jones playing oboe on the track have long been discredited.

[12stringsforme]

@secondeagle Wikipedia supports your first statement, but the article about this song still lists an oboe for Jones. I don't trust Wiki in either case so can you please do better?

[PC3900]

@12stringsforme Wrong, it's a clavioline, an anologue synthesizer, played by Lennon.

[InstantMagic]

sounds like a kid [?] singing along with Lennon on "how often have you been there?'

and "often enough to know." I hear a high pitched voice.

[MegaObserver1]

@InstantMagic That's Paul you're hearing. He often sang two part harmony with John , but could "do a Lennon" so well that people thought it was John singing solo. Sometimes during their harmonies, Paul would slip into an octave slightly higher that John's because he could. Paul was an excellent mimic and had "Elvis", "Little Richard" and "Buddy Holly" voices as well as a "John Lennon" voice. Paul admits that his Lady Madonna vocal was him doing Fats Domino.

[InstantMagic]

@MegaObserver1 Yeah, I'm aware that Paul was a great mimic but this voice is different. Higher. You only hear it in the beginning.

[posilipos]

This is a really great video.Thanks for posting.

Beatles for ever and ever!

[Monkofmagnesia]

@momtotwins07, I've heard that story, but I never actually hear Lennon sing it. I also heard that Epstein asked Lennon what he should title his autobiography and Lennon said, "Queer Jew," which caused Epstein to burst into tears. Epstein titled his book, "A Celler FUll of Guys."

[LORDKALEL001]

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE...PEACE & LOTS OF MONTY(PYTHON),SEX ,DRUGS & DARTH NIXON ,& PUKE ON YOR SHOE

[LORDKALEL001]

[gov360dotorg]

Excellent

[MrNAGAMASA]

パン配置..ベースが真ん中にあります。凄いグルーブ感が感じら­れます。

やはりポールは只者ではありません!!オリジナル.ステレオ.ミ­ックスって凄いなぁ!!

[loltion]

@MrNAGAMASA Exactly!

[HeruOfKemet]

Paul was bringin' the funk on that bass line!!!

[huglo]

this is not remix, is the US Magical Mystery Tour album version

[dannuserectus]

@huglo it probablly is a mix due to the fact that if you have heard the original us version it sounds very thin and dull, like if you are listening through very small speakers, while the rest of the album sounds great.

[JapaninArmeija]

Good work. There aren't much else choices on how to remix this track.

[ufothe3]

As an admirer of this band(not a "fan") this is another quality song & two things stand out The tempo is slow,by today's standards but it's very rocky,plus there's one more point I'd like to make:The immedeacy & emotion of Johns voice was one of the original appealing aspects of the Beatles,and the lyrical content? Was it a reference to Brian Epstein?.......thanks greatly for this music site.....

[BigJohnWoody]

A few years ago, when I was advancing past having only a cursory knowledge of The Beatles, I remember being blown away by these songs that I hadn't heard before because they weren't on "1's.". Most bands' best work is on their greatest hits collections and the filler on their albums is just that. When I started to hear songs like this I almost felt cheated, knowing that this had been around for the first two decades of my life. This should've been the soundtrack to my youth, damn it!

[MrBeatlesDrummer]

John - What a guy!

[3Oh3LOVERINJAPAN]

????? Oh I thought it was a different song

[buffalobraves9]

4 cooler guys never existed on this planet.

[berfariabrazil]

Love this song. Reminds my teenage years, despite having been in the 80's. The Beatles are the best band ever!

[1316high]

Could listen to intro all day

[terrythekittie]

If I had 40,000 dollars worth of video, audio and computer gear..oh ..and talent I could do this....well done anyway squire!

[schubie2]

Forty Thousand Dollars?!! How did you come up with that figure? My Mac cost 800.00, my monitor was 125.00, and my Beatles videos probably cost around 200 bucks. I use a demo version of Peak to remaster the audio. A little bit of know how can be stretched a long way, my friend.

[terrythekittie]

@schubie2 - no idea...just a random guess.

[mrsdoyle2003]

I totally agree Schubie....after my PC died last year, I edited video and audio from a laptop that I inherited from my sister....in less than a year, I have 2 second hand PC's that work wonderfully, and my laptop. And you're right, you don't need 40k to do miracles. BTW, love the remix you did. It's one of my favorite songs and your work on this track is even better than the remastered. Thanks so much for sharing :D

[schubie2]

@mrsdoyle2003 I wouldn't necessarily say it's better but, it's definitely different. The Yellow Submarine remix that came out in 99' was a great remix. Check out my Strawberry Fields video. That was a remastering job that I did off of the first CD release & I think I did a better job then the guys who had access to the original master recording.

[mrsdoyle2003]

@schubie2 I do agree, but for this one in particular, it is excellent :D And I will check out Strawberry Fields. You're very welcome to check out my channel. I have a video that I edited with a remix of a few Beatle songs. Tell me what you think of it. I'll appreciate your feedback :D

[Derby14]

Very cool. Well done and thank you for posting!

[sejrec56]

GREAT JOB !!

[schubie2]

I've read that, too.

[TheOneBeatleManiac]

schubie2, that legend/myth it's fake, the vocal track reveals they are singing ''Baby You're A Rich Man'' during all the fade-out.

[glasgowrus]

As per the Bio documentary on John Lennon, it was not 'FAG JEW' it was 'FAT JEW'.

[loltion]

@glasgowrus Lennon, allegedly, (I'm not convinced) sang 'fag Jew' in reference to Brian Epstein who was Jewish and gay. It wouldn't make sense if it was 'fat Jew', unless you know something I don't.

[noble381297]

@momtotwins07 really?? I thought the Beatles liked brian epstein, but i did knwo that he was gay, but i didnt know he was a jew...lol

[reg5381]

@momtotwins07 it didnt sound that way to me.

[joethulhuz]

@momtotwins07 That's just a rumor. No one else present at the recording recalls him ever uttering those words.

[fredg136]

Great mix, funny visuals!

[JaedynThrush]

Sounds wonderful :D The bass is so niiiiice.

[fredg136]

Brilliant, love the sound and a very witty video! Thanks :-)

[Hoohaz]

Best Beatles video ever made
