@crapple009 @crapple009 same goes to strawberry fields...

i love the version with lennon and his guitar alone...barely marking the bass line...so simple yet so beautiful

hermoso!!! en cuanto a lo que dice "crapple009" estoy de acuerdo en eso de q muchas veces menos es mas, me ha pasado con varias canciones de los beatles: strawberry fields 1 & 2 del anthology son mucho mas hermosas que la version lanzada (que no me gusta mucho), en mi opinion; lo mismo me pasa con it's only love, lucy in the sky with diamonds, tomorrow never knows, the fool on the hill y alguna mas capaz, que me parecen mas lindas las versiones del anthology

I love the poignancy of this first take as opposed to the polished Anthology version, which is o.k.

The same goes with the solo demo of "Because" compared to the Abbey Road version with that awful sounding moog synthesizer on top (imho,that is). Many times, less is more.
