I doubt that it was unintended. The take was an instrumental one, which means that they played it without Paul singing, probably for the first time in that sessions. This way, Paul could give all his attention to the piano playing, so it's unlikely he would make a mistake, even more after having played the song a million times during the sessions. Besides I think it sounds allright.

I doubt it was intended excactly like that. I guess he just messed it up or tried something - and liked the result and told them to keep it.

For me it's ...]]> Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:06:20 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/strawberry-fields-forever-cause-im-going-to-cut/#p51970 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/strawberry-fields-forever-cause-im-going-to-cut/#p51970

A good insight into the edits is Geoff Emerick's book "Here, There and Everywhere"... he would know. He was the engineer on most of the tracks.

While on the subject of this book, anyone else read it? I would be curious as to your reaction if you have and would like to have a discussion of it.

Yeah, that book has been subject of discussions quite often.

Having not read it myself I can't give personal comments.

From what I hear it contains a lot of bs.

He obviously was at least as stoned as the Beatles during most of the sessions ...]]> Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:03:10 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/strawberry-fields-forever-cause-im-going-to-cut/#p51967 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/strawberry-fields-forever-cause-im-going-to-cut/#p51967 It's in the last verse, exactly where Paul sings "Mother Mary". Paul plays something different on the piano. This happened in take 27a (recorded on the last day of the sessions), the one jade which was used for both the album and single version (you can hear it better in the single version, by the way, because the piano is louder). Nevertheless, it is not certain if it was a mistake or played intentionally. I assume it didn't appear on any other take. The people who made Let It Be Naked clearly thought of it as a mistake, or didn't ...]]> Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:47:59 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/strawberry-fields-forever-cause-im-going-to-cut/#p51932 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/strawberry-fields-forever-cause-im-going-to-cut/#p51932 What about in the first verse of She's A Woman? The last "My love don't give me presents." It sounds like Paul was a little sharp.

I never noticed that, when does that occur?

Its strange with the edits. You can miss them for years but as soon as they're discovered you cant not hear them, they are so noticable. For example the nasty word in Hey Jude, its so darn blatant but other folks strain to hear it.

I was the same with Working Class Hero, how the third verse is different to the rest of the song. (Not sure of which takes or whatever, just something that I noticed one day and now I can't not hear it.)

Yeah, THAT'S a really sloppy edit of two ...]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:17:49 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/strawberry-fields-forever-cause-im-going-to-cut/#p51887 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/strawberry-fields-forever-cause-im-going-to-cut/#p51887

Meanmistermustard: Could you direct to me the video of John on the day he met Paul? I've never seen it.

There is no video footage of the day John met Paul only audio, and not in great quality unsuprisingly. Tons of pics tho.

Very curious about this too. Has anyone ever asked Paul about it?

And why are "they" so protective of all these takes? Why are they so important keep so hidden? 

Well, it's for Anthologies 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 to be released over the next 3,000 years of course.
