Vocally, they sound a bit like 'Stars on 45'. It's not bad, though. I sing this song regularly when out busking. An American band called Apple Jams did a CD of Beatles-style covers of songs the Beatles gave to other artists. I can't remember if this song was on it.
*BIG SIGH*..(shaking my head)...I miss songs like this.Is there ANYONE in the music biz who can pull a "180" & get music BACK to THIS again!???If I was a millionaire & I would start my own record label...'GM Records'..."Good Music".Who's with me?
I've always liked the melody on this one, even the bridge. But this isn't the Fab Four. It's Bas Muys' take of it. He made quite a few recordings of their early stuff, and managed to sound an awful lot like them. Pretty good at that. But, it ain't them!
Hey giuseppeturrisi ... Thanks for the upload of a long-lost "giveaway song" that I wish the Beatles had recorded themselves ... but they gave it to Billy J Kramer. Youtuber LEOCONDE is right, this version is by Bas Muys, a Dutch artist who put together an entire album of Beatles Giveaways called "Secret Songs". Still, he sounds a lot like the Beatles would've sounded if they had recorded the song themselves. For that reason, this is GREAT UPLOAD and much appreciated. Thanks loads. Hilts
This sounds like The Beatles singing,another song well written and they sang it beautifully. Anything the Beatles sang and recorded is pure gold. I really enjoy listening to their music.They left some beautiful music behind ! So Beatle fans sit back and enjoy some of the best music every recorded.
@jijor1 fijate que en cuanto vi tu comentario escuché esta canción de este video y la de los beats y es muy parecida la voz, pero no estos no son ni los beats ni los beatles, asi que no se cual grupo es, aun asi aqui te dejo el de los beats:/watch?v=r16Ni65Q8YM
SO much better by Peter and Gordon and i LOVE the Beatles! But i think it's crap by them, seriously. :-/ Listen to the P&G version, it's a lot better in my opinion. :)
@yocchangogo They ARE Bas Muys? It IS Bas Muys. He used to be lead singer of Dutch band Smyle who had a hit with the Beatles soundalike It's Gonna Be Alright in 1971 (written by George Kooymans of Golden Earring). Bas sang the John Lennon voices on Stars On 45 (1) in 1980 for which he received only a session fee allowing him just about to buy a new TV set. He then recorded an album of Beatles Give-away Songs. Smyle's lead guitarist Mark Boon gained world fame with Diesel (Sausalito Summernight).
Just to end the debate: This is NOT the Beatles. Although Lennon & McCartney wrote this song for Peter and Gordon, the Beatles NEVER recorded it -- not even as a demo. So don't be fooled. It's not even a decent imitation. End of story - period.
@wyvernsc Thank you! 100% correct. It's not even a decent imitation, especially the harmony on top that would belong to McCartney, not even close. I'm getting a bit irritated with these people who are covinced that it's them. Not so much as a demo is even documented. Even if there was a private demo to surface, it certainly wouldn't feature drums, bass, or double tracked vocals.
"Bas Muys"... I believe this was released after John Lennon's death the following year 1981, I was only in grade school way back in the Philippines. It was a very good cover composition of Lennon-McCartney give away songs back on their early days. I remember it was a total of 11 or 12 tracks, same lead vocals who did " Beatles Stars on 45". + 3 more songs here on You Tube " It's For you" " I Don't Want To See You Again" & " Tip Of My Tounge".

I think you do here a Spanish accent. I think this Beatles Tribute Band is The Beats. They're from Argentina. I've heard them cover other Beatle songs.
Hello all Beatles fans! I want to ask you who wrote this song John or Paul? Thanks!!!nice cover although it would be better with a little bit more power to it.
Yes, this is not the Beatles, but the song was in fact written by McCartney. This is some sound-alike band and the uploader should amend the title to reflect this.
Not a Beatle recording, but definitely a Macca song which was recorded by Peter & Gordon who had a hit with it back in the day (this isn't P&G either)
@meridian2002 The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They also wrote "World Without Love" . Paul was dating Jane Asher, Peter's sister before he "died". This is the Beatles version.
@meridian2002 The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They also wrote "World Without Love" . Paul was dating Jane Asher, Peter's sister before he "died".
@TheCayJays I remember it well! I don't think John had a lot to do with the three P&G hits -- which also should include "Woman" which was released under a pseudonym but is also an L&M song by Macca.
Funny because I just thought this morning wouldn't it be cool for Paul to do a medley of the 3 P&G songs plus "Goodbye" (Mary Hopkin), and "Come And Get It" (Iveys/Badfinger) in his live show.
@meridian2002 Yea, these guys did a remarkable Beatles sound alike. Due to contractual obligations, Lennon's name had and still has to be on any song of that period that either one had written, and Lennon's had to be listed first. Yoko Ono filed suit to continue the practice after John died...hence the pseudonyms from Paul. I'm a writer and the lead singer of The CayJays, so I've been doing this for a long time too. :) Legal contracts can be really nasty.
This is a cover, chill guys!
