What is the percussion instrument in that, the one that sounds like someone slapping their knee? The same instrument (or a similar one, at least) can be heard in "Great Day" on McCartney's Flaming Pie, and I can't figure out what it is!
yeah you've right....i listen this song in the beatles antology and i don't know that was been wrote by Sir Paul....form me is similar at to the style of "I will" ....tenderness..
Mary Hopkin is far and away my favorite singer. I was pleased to see that she is still recording and that new material is coming out of her own studio. The clarity of her voice has always taken my breath away.
She married Tony Visconti and semi-retired only to pop up in a few interesting places -like back-up vocals in the song "Sounds and Vision" by David Bowie, and the soundtrack for Blade Runner! Tony Visconti was a BIG music producer in the early 70's!

It is wonderful that Apple are at last making available footage from the past, But this is not the original Goodye film that was made back in 69, the footage of mary with the dog is from 1970 around the time of the Eurovision song contest.. THe film of Goodbye is quite long and features lots more of Paul working out the guitar parts for the song, and it's amazing, there's also lots more of Mary and the backing singers ..Shame it cannot be released in its full form.
The video shown was made by Apple Records as a promotional item only. The used some of the video that they had and remastered the quality, and shortened it to match the length of the single, they were trying for quality, rather than reprocessing the original, if you look at the Badfinger video (No Matter What), they kept the original video, but could not upgrade the quality. Thanks for your comment, I will try and see if I can get the full version.
At the moment Apple records only intend to release videos on their website, because they do not own all the video rights to some of the artists, but it would be nice if they could release them on CD, the same way they did with The Beatles remastered albums.
What I meant was that they intend to have more videos on their web site, but it would be a good idea to include them on disc, the same way that they did with the Beatles remastered albums.
Thanks for your comment. When I heard that Apple were remastering some of their videos I thought I would post this, because all the other versions on Youtube have Dutch dialogue along the bottom.
McCartney and Hopkins did the fancy in the bed after making this song.
