[DonBenne33]

Yoko Ono has come to Franklin, TN and I bought copy 917/1000 of these lyrics today!!

[novanine9]

@DonBenne33 - wow, for how much?

[moosmum01]

Bubble, bubble, toil....No trouble! :o)

[dwanman1]

this is real music

[mediaman2004]

Awesome! More of Lennon!!! More, more more!!

[dissidencello]

Very interesting !

[sydneyrhxoxo]

WOW! at the start when he says bubble bubble, toil and no trouble...

it's just... FANTASTIC.. i can't get over it :)

[6021diesel]

Wow! There's a lot of vocals that were buried in the mix of the original version that I never heard before like "make a ring around the world" and in the beginning where he says "bubble, bubble, toil and no trouble. That was John's way of counting into a song. Instead of saying 1, 2, 3 and 4. I always thought he said, Bubbalou, bubbalou, like a Ricky Ricardo reference which makes no sense until now.

@6021diesel I thought he said baboo

[cranie4]

He says.."Toil and NO trouble"..god I've heard it wrong since 1980!

[sydneyrhxoxo]

@cranie4

haha , thats funny.

What did you think it said?

just trouble?

[cranie4]

@sydneyrhxoxo "Toil and Trouble" yes. It was so buried. BUT let's not forget that WAS the Lennon approved mix. But I think this is a million times better.

Al productor del álbum original (Jack Douglas) habría que colgarlo de los huevos...es la primer conclusión que saco al escuchar ésto. Asi debe sonar un disco de Lennon!

[mamunozcc]

This is great, very clear and crisp. I believe this was the best music John had released post Beatles. Thank you for posting.

[shockwave208]

it sounds like george harrison singing at the end. (3:27 to the end)

[joethebourbonman]

One of the great things John was always able to do was create songs that were unmistakably his, but also channel the sound of the period...Lucy in the Sky is pure '60's psychedelia, but pure John....this is about as "80's" as it gets, but couldn't be anyone but Lennon, either.

[LuvIzAhl]

I actually like this one better than the original version.

[beatlematt909]

It is awesome, I love it! You're welcome by the way @kir3txsbcglobalnet @kir3txsbcglobalnet

[davidswubc]

Bubble, bubble....Toil and no trouble!

[paulonthepiano]

This sounds fucking amazing!!

[TheBeatlesShop]

Nice

[dillcasella]

FANTASTIC!! Pure Lennon's soul!!

[prismgap]

This is my favorite of the stripped down songs. This and "Watching the wheels."

[dhloup1]

@prismgap Yes..The best of the stripped

[Kernnee]

Now now now..

[KatelynJamie]

It's hard to believe "make a ring around the world" was buried in the mix.

[beatlematt909]

I thought that too @KatelynJamie

[kristdelgado]

I'm sure it was already written in the original Double Fantasy CD booklet (but never heard). Listen up the previous remastered version of the album made in 2000.

[gunsass]

As did I  @beatlematt909

[novanine9]

@KatelynJamie - Wow, he used that "astronaut / telephone voice" effect that is so prevalent on today's pop records + a vocoder effect on Starting Over

Lennon was so revolutionary and opened to new sounds. It is such a shame that he was just right around the corner to that whole New Wave movement. I often wondered what a Beatles Album would have sounded like, once new wave took off...I'm sure that they would have gotten back together JUST to make an album utilizing that whole sound and feel.

[skellaway]

Fantastic!
