The Beatles - The Beatles Uncovered, Volume 7 (1962-1987) (A MIKE SOLOF GUEST POST)

Here we go again, with another Beatles Uncovered album by guest poster Mike Solof.

Once again, by now, hopefully you should know the drill, if you're familiar with the previous volumes in this series. So I don't see the need to say much more. Mike has extensive comments in the PDF file that's included in the download zip. I encourage you to check that out.

However, I will comment that, this time, there's a particular focus on early Beatles songs, with almost half of the songs from 1962 to 1964. And Mike put in a truly remarkable amount of time making a special version of "Hey Jude," which draws on three takes the Beatles did for a 1968 TV, which resulted in lots of little differences compared to the version everyone is familiar with.

This album is 58 minutes long.

Once again, the cover art comes from some interesting Beatles artwork Mike found on the Internet. This one bears a close resemblance to the "Keep On Truckin'" guy from the 1970s. (If you don't know what I mean, look it up.)

  2. The only problem with hey jude is that a studio version of Paul's vicals are played over his live vocals until the end improvisation. This is the same for all three versions except for the end improvisations. So the vocal is the same for all tracks. Lord Reith has released a track with just the original vocal track. All three take Mick uses are from Lord Reith.
