Sounds like Paul to me…
What’s funny is that this song was stuck in my mind yesterday and I was thinking about Pauls demo and if we’ll ever get to hear it.
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble.

Offline Great find if it’s real. Certainly a good fake if it isn’t.
Would be fun if he sang it in concert one day.

Offline Has the sound of McCartney. If fake, a damn good fake. If real, a damn good find.

Offline It does sound like McCartney especially at the end he says, “And that was the tune. “

Sure sounded real to me. That’s a hell of a good job faking it if it’s indeed fake

Offline Sounds like McCartney to me as well, I’ll be surprised for sure if it turns out that this isn’t him.

Offline Yeah, that definitely sounds like Paul to me.
Gahh, I’m in love with it. I can’t even say how many times I’ve listened to it.

Offline Hm. The voice itself sounds like Paul to me (except for that rising “allow”, which I could almost swear was George!), the phrasing less so. But I’ll bet I’m half-consciously telling myself the phrasing sounds wrong because I’m accustomed to the way P&G sang the original. I agree: Either Paul or an excellent imitation.
Incidentally, I heard this while lounging around my mother’s swimming pool last summer, and she was surprised when I told her that it was a MacLen composition. Seemed strange that she was unaware, since she’d known the song since it was released. Would DJs have not taken pains to identify the song’s exalted authors in ’64, or did 16-year old girls just not care (or even realize that songs have writers)? Who knows, who cares…
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

Offline I agree that it does indeed sound like Paul, and if it’s not, somebody did a damn good imitation.

Offline It is Paul. I don’t know if mmm knew when he opened the thread, but the source for it is Peter Asher, brother of Jane, half of Peter & Gordon. He is not going to be passing off a fake as the real thing. It’s obviously a short little tape where Paul’s showing him the tune.

Offline Sorry to necro this thread but I had a Beatley moment today when perusing youtube for bass stuff to practice to and came across one for the song A World Without Love and realized what a lost gem it is. The first officially sanctioned non-NEMS cover and it actually made it to number one in 1964, after having to wait for Can’t Buy Me Love to end its own reign. A World Without Love doesn’t have an entry in Paul McCartney songs but it should, even though it was credited to Lennon-McCartney as Paul wrote it when he was 16. There were other successful covers of the song after the Peter & Gordon hit too, the Supremes even did a version!
