everyone who thinks john is singing with john on I don't want to spoil the party should really listen to this. perfect example of that magical blend, where Paul would sing low but sound like John. Paul also shifts from low harmony to High. Incredible.
Fantastic version of a great song! I only wish Take 1 had a little more bass behind it, or even drums; but nevertheless, an amazing early version of a brilliant song!
WHY so much HATE on this comment board?? ANYONE can sing anything they like, ESPECIALLY if you're a Beatles fan (which I am)..& I absolutely LOVE this song & I love to sing it in the shower & around the house. Yes, I KNOW that I will never sing it better than John (NO ONE COULD, IMO) but that doesn't mean I can't APPRECIATE their music & show it by singing their tunes. It's pretty ridiculous to suggest that only The Beatles are allowed to sing their songs. Their music is for everyone to enjoy.
@beatlesfan07480: Wow, over-react, much? And it's "Beatles" not "BEATLE". And oh, real quick before I forget....typing in all caps makes you sound like a real uneducated cunt.
NO I AM NOT MEAN TO ANYONE EXCEPT BITCHES LIKE YOU WHO
RUIN BEATLE SONGS BY SINGING THEM AND BITCHES WHO DON'T LEAVE THE BEATLES ALONE THE ONLY PERSON WHO SHOULD BE SINGING "I'M ONLY SLEEPING" SHOULD BE "JOHN LENNON" AND NO ONE ELSE BECAUSE HE SANG IT FIRST
EVERY BEATLE FAN WILL KNOW JOHN WAS CERMATED ON DECEMBER 10 AT FERNCLIFF CEMETERY IN HARTSDALE NEW YORK AND YOKO ALSO SCATTERED HIS ASHES IN NEW YORK'S CENTRAL PARK
AND I AM NOT CRAZY IF I THINK IT'S WRONG FOR LITTLE BITCHY ASSHOLES LIKE YOU SINGING BEATLE SONGS ONLY THE FUCKING BEST BAND EVER ARE ALOUD TO SING THIER SONGS WHO ARE YOU TO THINK YOU CAN SING IT AS GOOD OR BETTER THEN THE BEATLES
@MorbidBliss22 YOU PATHETIC BRAT STOP SINGING BEATLE SONGS JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK YOUR COOL BECAUSE YOU SANG A BEATLE SONG
YOUR NO BEATLE FAN BECAUSE TRUE BEATLE FANS WOULD LEAVE JOHN LENNON TO SING "I'M ONLY SLEEPING" ONLY THE BEATLES ARE ALOUD TO SING THEIR SONGS. SO FUCK OFF AND STOP TRYING TO GET ATTENTION SAYING YOU SING BEATLE SONGS AT SCHOOL. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU IN THE 5TH GRADE BECAUSE ONLY 5TH GRADERS LIKE TO THINK THEY CAN SING BETTER THEN THE BEATLES
@beatlesfan07480 Are you for real? One would think YOU are the fake fan (not saying that 'MorbidBliss22' is a fake fan) after reading all of your shitty hatecomments. Of course Beatlesfans sing Beatlessongs, and play them on instruments. I do all the time, it makes you realize even more how amazing their music is. The fact that no one can do them better than themselves is kind of obvious, anyways. Anyways, if 'true Beatlesfans' don't play their songs we wouldn't have many fans left.
@beatlesfan07480 so yell at some kid in school trying to pay tribute to a great band from before his time. And use all caps like a fucking 8th grader on top of it? Hopefully this is some kind of brit irony or you are probably one of those glenn beck know it all pussies. Send your mother what you sent that young kid and see if shed be proud of what she raised..
@MorbidBliss22 Ahaha Nah sorry replied to the wrong person, it was for the idiot but I can't be arsed to type it again!lol Sing as many Beatles songs you like, spreading good music isnt a bad thing :)
@MorbidBliss22 I think you're being a bit of fool tbh. People don't cover the Beatles records in an attempt to try and surpass the original, they do it to show their appreciation for a great band and how much they learnt from them. The very same way the Beatles themselves did in the early days covering their favourite R&B and Rock n Roll tracks. People are free to sing whatever they want. Regardless to whether you like it or not. Get over yourself.
Yes, I love this one. They were such geniuses; note that this music has a languid, "dreamy" quality to it - quite appropriate for a song called "I'm Only Sleeping" (but of course, no accident!). Great stuff.
The rehearsal tape almost didnt survive all of these years. After the rehearsals for the song were recorded, the beatles recorded the proper takes over the rehearsal tapes. All of the rehearsals from that day were almost wiped, however the proper takes stoped right before the last 40 seconds of the last rehearsal. If The Beatles recorded one more take that day, this beautiful rehearsal would be lost forever.
stunning music, totally incredible, I never knew about this particular recording, and to think it was almost lost forever........I can't imagine (no pun intended)
