Greetings, first post here.

 

I don't know if I would have chosen it for the final album over the completed version, but I think that the alternate Ob-la-di, ob-la-da is interesting.

Welcome! The alternate take of Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da sounds more "reggaeish" to me.

"Your mother should know"  is one where I definitely like the Anthology version better.  I guess because Paul's vocals are so raw and untouched, yeah..   a-hard-days-night-paul-7

 

The part where he says "quit singing with your mouth" I think he was referring to George. Any other ideas on to whom he was referring to?

I thought the most interesting Anthology songs are WMGGW and the demo's of SFF. Most of the stuff sounds nearly the same as the final versions.

Whilst the acoustic WMGGW is gorgeous and would a real highlight if released on The White Album, the heavier version with Claptons guitar work, George's vocal, Pauls piano and harmonies and Ringo's drums is rightly hailed as a classic and the one i would opt for.
