I think the apple01 is the best guess. 

No, wait, it was Ringo! 

Ringo, you sly dog!

On a completely (well, almost completely) unrelated topic, during the second orchestral buildup, I can hear someone counting. Would that be our friend Mal Evans? I know they had him count out the bars when they didn't know what to do for those sections.

I believe so… a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 Paul or someone stated that on Anthology 6, I think? I'm probably wrong about the show, but I know I'm not on the counting; here's proof a-hard-days-night-ringo-9Mal Evans is credited for vocals! a-hard-days-night-ringo-10

I'm in love, but I'm lazy.

Is there anything more beautiful than self-endorsement?

At first i think its john. a-hard-days-night-john-1. But then after listening intently im thinking that its Paul at first then it sorta fades away into John…


Yeah, that was my experience exactly last time I listened extra extra close…and that was after insisting it was John multiple times!

Now I'm so confused, I've just convinced myself I really don't care anymore. I refuse to give it another thought. Until the next time I happen to hear the song. Or until the next time I intentionally play it myself. Or until the next time this thread is updated.

  You won't see me nowhere, man, I'm looking through you!

It's definetly john. You can tell because John has that kind of voice where he doesn't "ah" or "eh", but does both of them. It's amazing really.

I just listened to it again twice specifically listening to that part.  To me it sounds like it's definately John.  He has an edge to his voice that Paul does not have.

That's all I have to say about that.

You mean the backing vocals? Yeah, that's definitely John, you're right. Paul could do MANY things with his voice, like the dreamy "aaahs" in the lead vocal, but he never would've been able to get that sharp edge to his voice like John has in those high "uuuh" and "aaaah".

 

Nice description of John's voice – providing MORE proof it's Paul, since he is doing a perfect "aaa", at least a the beginning. He's doing his chest voice, so he sounds warmer, fuller than John.

I agree the "aaahs" keep getting dreamier as they go and sound more and more like John. But the very last notes, only audible on the vocal track, reveal that it's still Paul, since he stops on his chest voice, which kind of "breaks" at the very, very end. John is doing his sharp backings all the way.

Could it be both?

Both John and Paul sang the same part.  John's voice was given the more prominent part of the ahhhs.  And Paul's voice laid in there for the double track or echo effect?

Actually c64, I think that's the answer.

 

Man, this is material for a short story related with the Beatles. Umb.. interesting.. a couple that fight because they can't decide who sings, John or Paul….

Nope, sorry. Someone already said it was a doubletracked John. There's no double-tracking here. Listen to the vocal track. I can only repeat: Especially at the very end Paul's voice kind of breaks, and there's no John and no double-tracking around. The reverb and maybe some chorus were used to make his voice sound dreamy, but it's still just Paul.

I can only repeat: Jon can be heard very well in the background fooling around with the high "Uuuuh" and "Aaaah".

Listen to "Lovely Rita" the opening ah is MUCH different then the ah's in ADITL. Has to be john. Or possiblya-hard-days-night-george-5

Tell me you were joking as well about George!

 

Seriously, for the 768th time: It's Paul's chest voice, which is much different from John's, who's in the background.

It's definetly John's voice (In ADITL) Oh, and you really can't compare it to Revolution considering it was distorted.

Yes, the backing vocal is definitely John's falsetto voice, no doubt. The lead is very clearly Paul's chest voice. Get over it.

John's Revolution Aaa doesn't sound distorted to me, just very much clipped. It's a different song, so he sings differently. Same with Lovely Rita. I gave you other songs to compare with the vocals.
