Yeah, entertainers think they stay young forever, but they don't. Its ashame people get old but its inevitable if one lives long enough.

August 23, 1968, I believe is the demo date.

Paul always loved to play acoustic.

Thanks, QueenBeatlesWings...So much of the Beatles recordings has been well documented. It's just this demo and those recordings of Paul with Donovan that has me stumped as to the recording dates. I always assumed the demo Goodbye was recorded sometime at the end of 1968/beginning of 1969 since Hopkins finished version came out a short time later. Thanks again for the input.

@AcrossTheCyberspace it was during the Beatles days, not too long before the band's breakup . it was recorded in 1969, around the time the Beatles Get Back was #1 on the charts. I believe this was an outtake from the Beatles White Album sessions in 1968.

Goodbye is a song written by Paul McCartney (but credited to Lennon-McCartney) and performed by Mary Hopkin. It was released on March 28, 1969 and it reached #2 in the UK singles chart, prevented from reaching the top position by the Beatles' single "Get Back".

The song was produced by Paul McCartney and arranged by Richard Hewson.

[edit] Paul McCartney Recording

The song was never officially released by the Beatles, although there are bootleg recordings of Paul McCartney singing the song.
