This is The Unknown Fifth Michael Collier rehersal 1991 for The Anthology .
A wonderful loving man carries a secret for so many years..A boy reached his child hood dreams to Play with The Beatles ..Only to find it needed it to be kelp quit .... John was killed for no reason you just never now...Michael passed young with a heart attact I known cause I carry it now....Mike was going to write a book about it but passed to soon.. my LOVE to you Michael you will always be in my heart and mind
I hope we all get to meet them. this is absolutely killer. Paul had great musical aptitude, but then i hear this, and well, Lennon vision on this song, his vision for the Beatles, society, he had the vision. Once in a millenium.
those background harmonies on first take, so pretty, almost like a precursor to
'Because" from White Album....love these outtakes, hope they just keep finding more,listen to the remix some kid did, with all the Ringo bits before they squash him, Ringo is beating the shit out the kit and crushing it, and although Paul became the greatest bassist in rock history, he isn't that important on this song...John changed everything, fucking everything...just like Quarrymen, it's always JOHN JOHN JOHN
Don't let anyone tell you the intro was the first use of the Mellotron by the Beatles. As take 1 shows, its real first use was at the END of the first version of the song!

I love John & Paul, tho John is my favorite. One of the reasons: his *beautifully unique* voice. Yes, Paul can definitely sing & has an incredible voice in his own right..but John's.. The natural *angst* of it..the grittiness..the *attitude*..the tenderness, when he needs to be..the *edginess*, again, when it's required. So many nuances to it, & to think he never *liked* it! NO ONE I know sounds like John. I wish they released SF like *this* so John's voice could be heard "clean"..so beautiful.
The background vocals are unreal. They could have written 3 chord songs on acoustic and then put those background vocals on and it would have sounded incredible. As is, they went way beyond that. The best band in all of the 200 billion galaxies across the universe. HA! John would have loved that last bit. We were lucky to have known you guys.
I always enjoy all the comparison's made with who was the better Beatle. I would read more books from the insiders (Geoff Emerick etc.) to get a better prespective. Bottom line: you can't compare them. They all influeneced each other for better or worse and the end result was this great music. Take one piece of that puzzle away and its something else entirely.
Interesting how we see this song develop from take to take...
The early takes show purity of John's vocals. Too bad they didn't release two versions similar to the Revolution and Revolution #1 iterations later on.
One more bit: All those Beatle cover tribute bands, they can always find a Paul, lots of guys can do him, but nobody even comes remotely close to John's voice so those bands usually blow...Rain has a guy who is pretty good at it and had learned the accent, but just a shadow.John's voice was so unique, and utterly irreplaceable. I f you really want to understand difference of John and Paul, listen to Paul's Give Ireland Back to the Irish,.then listen to John's Luck of the Irish.it's right there.
I admire Paul and his skill but I exalt John..and they couldn't be getting TOO high, listen to how much workmanship and how many endless takes go into these songs They weren't some idiot produced pop band, they tracked and changed thins endlessly till it was spot on. You can't be stoned and produce quality music like this over and over. I've made many cd's I know it for fact..Nothing against Paul
he would have become a known songwriter and player. John was a force of nature and changed the world
@nitra&p.girl...you're both off...Paul may have been able to play any instrument,and certainly became best bassist all time, but he couldn't write songs like this..and most of his contibutes were slow nice songs ( L&WR, LIB,etc) one great rocker, Helter Skelter. But JOHN was the Beatles heart and soul, astonishing songs, a gorgeous tortured voice, and this song changed everything, as did Tomorrow NK before it...I"ll go for two post, I'll give Paul Eleanor
paul is on mellotron i read somewhere there are no other voices on it expect johns the mellotron was pauls ideal he made the beatles what they were but gets very little credit for it just listen to the outtakes with paul suggesting everything hes amazeing so are the rest of the beatles in there own way
@Bill5298 Its not him doing everything himself. Take 1 has all the guys active. Paul played the mellotron, John played his casino, George played his strat for the slide effect, and ringo played a basic beat... Get your facts right.
@Bill5298 Dude are you joking? It's written in like 3 fucking books, plus its pretty well known that take 1 is with all the beatles lol. The harmonies you hear are george and paul as well. You might be confusing this version with the demo version which has only john on it, but if not then you are in complete ignorance...
Just this rehearsal is awesome let alone the finished product!!! Where's a doggone time machine when you need it so that I could be on the front row in the studio???
@csucsu80 LOLZ. I dont think they had TOO much... I mean, they'd go in the bathroom and smoke marijuana, not completely overdose on it right there in the middle of recording...I think
@lightmyfir3 this proves why classic rock is the best. all of us like each other. u are a perfect example being a doors fan and typing that comment. Rappers and RnB artists and their fans are all against each other
@benreturns It is a mellotron played by paul, and the slide thing you hear is George sliding about on his Sonic blue stratocaster that him and john got a few years before this.
The combination of the four beatles creates an amazing meledy that is constantly ringing in my head...although they are gone, they had an impact on all music and will be remembered forever. It is impossible to describe with words how incredible they are.
and btw i wouldn't exactly call it poor english, i have seen some really strange excuses for proper english and in comparison i would say your quite articulate
If you listen to the earliest takes, Lennon played it like a folk song and even tried a two-step country feel in one of the takes/demos but Martin's input was epic. It was he who usually suggested the crucial changes such as NOT starting on the verse but starting on the chorus.
I think the Beatles had just the right amount of musical ability on their instruments so that they didn't have this "I can outplay you" mentality but it allowed their musical ideas to take center stage instead. Combine that with the productions/mixes and it was a winner!
their timing wasn't bad either. in the suit days rock and roll was starting to sky rocket, when they made pepper and magical mystery tour it was the summer of love, when they made the white album there was a lot of racial riots and war and so on.
exactly. Time it any other way and their sales go down. They also knew how to copy from other popular musicians at crucial times and do songs SIMILAR to them. But at least they weren't another Zep clone (yeah, a bit early for that). But they weren't just a clone of some other pop band to cash in. I always liked the tunes where they did 3 or 4 part harmonies like Because and Here Comes the Sun King.
i refer this, maybe just a little bit different but with less circus music and shit, it would have been great if they did it like black bird with nothing but an acoustic guitar
i dont understand why im not aloud to have my opinion. i realize that its already done and i dont exactly disagree i love the song the way it is. i just think that such a smooth and calming would sound better without loud circus music and people yelling ''i burryed paul'' just like i think a day in the life would be better with no horror movie music after every verse because of the type of song it is. something like being for the benefit of mr. kite blends perfectly with circus music.
Oh dont do that!! I´ve never said that you´re not allowed to have an opinion. I thought my humbleness whould show in that message. I understad you completeley even though I strongly disagree with you. I kind of commented on the two thumbs down. pardon my poor english :)
that coment was more intended for the people who gave my coments bad ratings if they dont agree thats fine but i just think its rather ignorant to undermind somones opinion just because you dont agree with it
really? I think most sweds sounds american, it comes more natural for us. Maybe he heard them in england and they some how have acclimatized and started to speak with an british accent.
what are you talking about?`I was talkin to someone els about sweds and their english accent. stating that the beatles speak with a scouse-accent is kinda like stating that Bono has ugly sunglasses, everybody knows it!
Thats your opinion dude, no worries. I on the other hand wholeheartedly disagree! :P but having said that Johns original demos with just him with his acoustic are quite lovely.
it's cranberry sauce not i buried paul you zep head. and by the way lennon said he hated how strawberry fields ended up, alot of the orchestration was a la paul and george martin. a day in the life is a beautiful number and the orchestra was genius because it added some punch and some fill in between john and pauls verse. you tell me what you wouldve added in between there that would've fit? it wasn't horror music it was an orchestral climax which is totally different...it was musical...
oh fuck off. it was in the middle of the paul is dead hoax dumb ass he said i burried paul just like almost every song they had. it was a publicity stunt that EVERYONE knows about and i would probly put some kind of chorus or even violen music in between verses because its a very mellow song thats why i like it. its unique in every way posible and i could aslo do without ''will paul be back as superman'' at the end but i usually just skip it after he says ''4000 holes in blackburn lancadshier'
your one of those fricking nuts who have no idea what they're talking about. go back to jimmy page and his twing twangy guitar playing. just because some radio personality trying to cause a stir says paul died in 1966 doesn't mean that it's true. because all the stuff you're naming is stuff that were supposedly clues. what a joke dude, and the fact that you believe all that crap isan absolute fallacy. the hoax is a farce.
i didn't say he was dead asshole fuck off you dont know what ur talking about you violent fucking american. you illiterate little fuck can you not read. notice the words hoax and publicity stunt. they were clues and people were supposed to believe it. and it worked. people bought every album just to see what new messages would be on the next record but you could never understand something so clever. u need some sort of therapy your an ignorant violent pig.
definatly but if it wasn't for their backmasking i wouldn't have ever heard their music. so its still making them money today, maybe not paul or ringo directly but apple and other companys
@demonbarber100@demonbarber100 Aww comeon.. I'm 29 and watching across the universe made me 'hear' the beatles for the first time. Sure I was watching it as my ambien kicked in (Just in time for bono's rendition of I am the walrus). Now i'm hooked and feel stupid that I've never listened to them before. Atleast admit Bono's walrus cover was awesome.
i read a comment about someone complaining that these rare studio takes shouldn't be uploaded for some weird reason but I disagree...this is proof of just how amazingly creative the beatles were, thanks for uploading, very fascinating indeed!
the take 1 vocals are definitely amazing. and wow take 2 is just astounding the instrumentals are ridiculous. take 3 the first verse he kind of sounds drunk..
I'm sure it's actually a Mellotron MkII which had a pitch bend, so that you could play a tape of a guitar and then pitch bend it to make it sound like a slide guitar - thew weird "click" as it starts the slide up is the giveaway! Although the Tron had real tapes, when you depressed a key or changed quickly to another, it tended to click - part of its charm!
This is my favourite take - with the Mellotron brass instead of the flutes - and is it Tron guitar with pitchbend?!? Wow! Just heard those amazing harmonies! THESE aren't on the Anthology version! WHY were they left off?!?! They're WONDERFUL! As others have said, it's INCREDIBLE to think this was late '66 - it's WAY ahead of its time!
It's not a synth - they hadn't really been invented by then (apart from the huge machines they used on the Doctor Who theme!)! It's a Mellotron Mk II - put "mellotron demo" into Search and you'll find an AMAZING YouTube promo of the instrument from the time! It was in effect the first sampler, but used oodles of tapes instead of digital recordings - messy, unreliable, INCREDIBLY heavy - but one of the best sounds EVER!!!!!!

As an American, I can tell you: Swedish people speak with a slight, Swedish accent. ;)

Thats your opinion dude, no worries. I on the other hand wholeheartedly disagree! :P but having said that Johns original demos with just him with his acoustic are quite lovely.

it's cranberry sauce not i buried paul you zep head. and by the way lennon said he hated how strawberry fields ended up, alot of the orchestration was a la paul and george martin. a day in the life is a beautiful number and the orchestra was genius because it added some punch and some fill in between john and pauls verse. you tell me what you wouldve added in between there that would've fit? it wasn't horror music it was an orchestral climax which is totally different...it was musical...

oh fuck off. it was in the middle of the paul is dead hoax dumb ass he said i burried paul just like almost every song they had. it was a publicity stunt that EVERYONE knows about and i would probly put some kind of chorus or even violen music in between verses because its a very mellow song thats why i like it. its unique in every way posible and i could aslo do without ''will paul be back as superman'' at the end but i usually just skip it after he says ''4000 holes in blackburn lancadshier'

your one of those fricking nuts who have no idea what they're talking about. go back to jimmy page and his twing twangy guitar playing. just because some radio personality trying to cause a stir says paul died in 1966 doesn't mean that it's true. because all the stuff you're naming is stuff that were supposedly clues. what a joke dude, and the fact that you believe all that crap isan absolute fallacy. the hoax is a farce.

i didn't say he was dead asshole fuck off you dont know what ur talking about you violent fucking american. you illiterate little fuck can you not read. notice the words hoax and publicity stunt. they were clues and people were supposed to believe it. and it worked. people bought every album just to see what new messages would be on the next record but you could never understand something so clever. u need some sort of therapy your an ignorant violent pig.
ledZeppelin7680 2 years ago
still, u have to admit not only that publicity made them buy their albums, but also their amazing talent.

definatly but if it wasn't for their backmasking i wouldn't have ever heard their music. so its still making them money today, maybe not paul or ringo directly but apple and other companys

@demonbarber100 @demonbarber100 Aww comeon.. I'm 29 and watching across the universe made me 'hear' the beatles for the first time. Sure I was watching it as my ambien kicked in (Just in time for bono's rendition of I am the walrus). Now i'm hooked and feel stupid that I've never listened to them before. Atleast admit Bono's walrus cover was awesome.

Really i liked the 3rd but the slide guitar in the beginning just went way too fast and too low
mrmclaren27 3 years ago
I'm sure it's actually a Mellotron MkII which had a pitch bend, so that you could play a tape of a guitar and then pitch bend it to make it sound like a slide guitar - thew weird "click" as it starts the slide up is the giveaway! Although the Tron had real tapes, when you depressed a key or changed quickly to another, it tended to click - part of its charm!

This is my favourite take - with the Mellotron brass instead of the flutes - and is it Tron guitar with pitchbend?!? Wow! Just heard those amazing harmonies! THESE aren't on the Anthology version! WHY were they left off?!?! They're WONDERFUL! As others have said, it's INCREDIBLE to think this was late '66 - it's WAY ahead of its time!

tsuhna88 3 years ago
It's not a synth - they hadn't really been invented by then (apart from the huge machines they used on the Doctor Who theme!)! It's a Mellotron Mk II - put "mellotron demo" into Search and you'll find an AMAZING YouTube promo of the instrument from the time! It was in effect the first sampler, but used oodles of tapes instead of digital recordings - messy, unreliable, INCREDIBLY heavy - but one of the best sounds EVER!!!!!!
