This tape is priceless. Nothing in the world could be better than this. John is my favorite Beatle because of his voice/passion and his lyric style. A million thanks for sharing.
Me Too, but because I like his songs more than Paul’s. I mean Paul’s songs are great also, and he used to be my favorite in my teens…but now that I’m almost 70, I prefer John’s songs because you don’t get tired of hearing them…whereas I do get tired of hearing some of Paul’s great songs like Yesterday and Here, There, and Everywhere…they’re great but I really can’t keep listening to them without getting tired of them.
The opening chords and melody of If I Fell are a bit of genius from an unschooled musician… it’s a very unusual progression and really shows what a natural talent he was.
@@johnmc3862 He was completely unschooled in respect of musical theory - he could play a few chords and that was about it. Same for McCartney too. The intro progression is not typical diatonic harmony, he’s changing keys in quite a sophisticated way without knowing the formal technicalities of how to achieve that. That’s what I meant by a natural talent, a genius in fact. But he certainly wasn’t an ‘educated’ musician.
Yeah. I think "If I Fell" is the first song where Beatles (Lennon in this case) showed that they were more than a great rock´n roll band. It´s much more sophisticated harmonically and melodically. Then of course Rubber Soul came and proved it even further with songs like In My Life, Norwegian Wood, Girl, Nowhere Man, Michelle.
This is truly amazing! The evolution of John’s songs! The early version of “She said, She said” could’ve been a whole other song that almost sounds like 90s grunge music. Thank you for sharing this.
Interesting to see all the equipment John had at home to record these demos, including several reel to reels. Fast forward 10 years to his Dekota home and he appeared to have used just a single cassette recorder for Free As A Bird, Now and Then and Double Fantasy demos etc.
Wholeheartedly Thankful for Sharing. What a lovely surprise. Thank you so much for your efforts. Lots of love and light Dear John. We love you. Best wishes
The anthology was great but this is fly on the wall great! What an amazing creative process I never thought I'd be so fortunate to hear. Thanks for putting this up!
I must say, of all the Beatles songs, If I Fell is the most beautiful and lovely song John wrote. It defines the early Beatles melodic sound more than anything Paul ever wrote… Why Paul continues to take any credit for If I Fell is criminal. These home demos are proof proper that it’s John’s completely, including the opening intro narration.
I’m a songwriter who’s very influenced by The Beatles, and it’s very comforting to know that even John Lennon had to work & work on his songs to get them just right. These tapes are absolutely fascinating.
As a learning guitarist these recordings are inspirational. Such a precious insight into the process of mastering the instrument and the art of performing It's too easy when we're sitting and practicing alone to become disillusioned that we can never sound like our heroes. However hearing these familiar songs in their 'undeveloped' state gives us an achievable waypoint on the journey towards mastery, just as the songs themselves developed from their rough conception to the fully produced studio recordings.
The world changed when John left. And not for the better. Ask anyone who was there before and after. Thank god we still have the music, the clearest picture into the man's soul.
Estou muito emocionada e feliz ao mesmo instante por ter a oportunidade de ouvir essa voz inconfundível que é a John Lennon. Ele era suave qdo queria e sabia fazer isso com mastria. Obrigado por me proporcionar esse privilégio. Thank you so much!!
Fantastické 👏👏♥️♥️ Moc ráda jsem si poslechla Johnova dema, nejvíce se mi líbila Dont Let Me Down a Julia ❤ John je můj nejoblíbenější zpěvák, vždy mě jeho písničky pohladí po duši 🤩 Některé jsem slyšela poprvé,moc se mi všechny libily,moc děkuji za vložení tohoto hudebního klenotu ❤️👍
This is awesome! I hope it encourages all you songwriters out there like it does me… every song starts somewhere and John’s process seems to allow for change and experimentation. Strawberry Fields - when he (or Paul? George?) adds those electric fill , it’s just magical to hear the song take shape-from John just banging on his acoustic to a semblance of the song we know and love.
O processo de criação de John Lennon era bastante caótico! Ele não perseguia a música por uma ideia definida, ele propositadamente sempre deixava uma abertura pra novas possibilidades e se deixava guiar por elas até se fazer um só com a canção! Um gênio intuitivo!
Well, John didn't mind playing with an out-of-tune guitar. I don't think I ever heard a tuned guitar, but there were some attempts at tuning. George on the Get Back session is always tuning… maybe a nervous habit. So we know John didn't have perfect pitch because the out-of-tuned guitars would have been too painful. And it's well enough that he didn't because sometimes accidents in all shapes -- i.e., out-of-tuned strings -- can give you unnerving inspiration. This confirms that songwriting is an opening up to the horizon of possibilities and seeing what comes across, without judgment, because what comes over is usually never perfect or in a final form. The focus is to have fun and see what the music produces for your own imagination and satisfaction. I almost think that out-of-tuned guitars are a way of disarming the seriousness of it. The atmosphere is like a carnival, trippy and human in every way. You can see the sources of Revolution 9. There is almost enough material to make Revolution 10. It's an unkempt garden of the mind and we, as with John, are surprised by what shows up. And there are bird sounds everywhere one goes. Yes, your bird can sing… and it's better to record it before it flies away.
Composing songs with an untuned guitar is a very special style. Its also my style, too. When a song sounds with a "rotten" guitar good, how good will it sound with tuned guitars etc.. J. L. knew this trick! Believe me!
@@HARJEN-we4gg That's an interesting idea, that the song will sound good regardless. You can't kill it. I've heard that said about good songs in general, that if you play it on an acoustic guitar it will still come across. A good song is a good song. I also think that Lennon was lazy... even lazy to tune up his guitars and that if he took time to tune he might forget what he was thinking about. He gave his whole attention to the song and did not stray about other unimportant things.
I wasn’t into the Beatles until my father bought me the Beatles anthology 3 with all their demos and outtakes. I was able to connect with the songs and them as people hearing the process. I still prefer some of those version to the final ones.
The greatest singer/songwriter in the history of popular music 🎶 That's not up for debate either.......... It's a closed issue. Thank you for agreeing😊
I have the CD edition of the Plastic Ono Band's Lennon 50th Anniversary and couldn't find the date of the Look At Me Demo on the booklet, I only found the dates for the Look At Me Ultimate Mix and Out-Take (Take 2). Do you know on what page are the dates for the demos?
Sorry about getting away from the main story but, Love his Gibson J-160E Acoustic. Love its sound! Last Year for my Birthday, my wife gave me the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird acoustic Guitar. One word...WOW! It looks and sounds GREAT! Only thing I had to do was change the Strings, and that's all! Can't wait to start recording! Some folks say the Epi is better than the Gibson! That I couldn't say, I never played the Gibson Hummingbird. All I know is that the Epi sounds. fantastic and it is now my go-to Acoustic Guitar, Over my 23-year-old "Martin Acoustic"........🎸🎹🥁🎙.
Most of these recordings were originally aired on The Lost Lennon Tapes radio show. Also a great deal of the original tapes where auctioned and then digitalized and subsequently shared online. There is more info on where most of these recordings come from on the books Way Beyond Compare & That Magic Feeling.
Some of those guitar parts from so-called "He Said He Said" sound like Dr Robert. Interesting to hear how bits of one song ended up as bits of another.
I got these recordings from various bootlegs. Most of the home demos were originally aired on the radio show The Lost Lennon Tapes; others where shared online once some of the original reels were digitalized. You can check the list with all the audio sources I've used to make this compilation on the pinned comment.
If there was just one reason why the www exists, then this could probably be it ' ...agree with me if you actually feel somehow slightly in John's head '
First, many thanks for this! I'll confess this is a mean spirited post but as you go from Lennon's early 60's demos to the later ones, his own personality changes and his partnership with Ono appears the partial ruin of his talent, it's like he didn't care anymore, but then again he'd produced enough genius works he didn't need to, and he of course didn't have to compete musically with songs with Yoko's 'talent' as he had with Paul's.
What is the background of these recordings? Where were they recorded and how were they made public? Very cool to hear the early imaginings of the epic tunes they became.
In the video description I included all the information about the where & when of these recordings. Most of them originally where aired on the radio show The Lost Lennon Tapes. If you're interested you should check out the books The Beatles Recorded Legacy (Way Beyond Compare & That Magic Feeling). I also pinned a comment with all the audio sources I used for creating this compilation.

Thank you for compiling all these recordings and for your modest enhancements. John sounds so sweet and innocent in this raw portrait
Thank you so much 💓
You dont hear much from John Lennon these days. No new records or tours.
Did he retire?
@@SagaLarton are you alright?
@@jax8527 Yes fine thanks U?
You hear the "you-hoo-ooh" from Imagine on If I Fell! Mind-blowing!
My two favorite Lennon songs. What a miraculous thing it is to have these recordings.
wow you're right
4:53
Sounds like Tiny Tim.
@@guffmuff90 That's just your imagination.
Difficult to hold back the tears when hearing him working his way through If I Fell
the development of Strawberry Fields is mind blowing, bit by bit the masterpiece is made
He has a few. “Just like starting over” took a lot of work too it seems.
It almost sounds like Lennon is quietly crying while singing If I Fell, well thanks Lennon know I am too.
Pissed, I think?
@@georgejamestaylor7572agree he sounds pissed lol
I was thinking the same thing....specially at the end of the first demo, he sounds clearly emotional...

What did we ever do, before TH-cam? What a treasure trove!
all this stuff was just sitting somewhere gong unheard. it's absolutely incredible the access we have now.
tapes & bootlegs trading
@@Dave_Albright yes, true. But that was such a comparatively small number of folks
Growing up my dad talked about a box set of tapes he had with some of these demos, interviews and john talking on them

It's truly mad how long the songwriting process was for Strawberry Fields - it really was his magnum opus
Incorrectly attributed to Lennon and McCartney when it should have been attributed to Lennon & Martin as with I am the Walrus too.
@@Neil-AspinallPaul had a lot to do with those songs, he wrote the intro to Strawberry Fields
@@Neil-Aspinall nonsense. Martin wanted songs to be Lennon-McCartney as well. It is their trademark.

i can never get bored listening to John. i love him so much
Me too. He's my absolute hero!!
I feel the same way.
Interesting to see all the equipment John had at home to record these demos, including several reel to reels.
Fast forward 10 years to his Dekota home and he appeared to have used just a single cassette recorder for Free As A Bird, Now and Then and Double Fantasy demos etc.
“Oh My Love” with Yoko’s additions is so haunting and beautiful. This video is a real gem!
You can see why he was on top of the musical food chain , the words and melodies coming out of him alone by sheer volume must be ... Destined ❤
that What Goes On demo is so Dylan sounding
Love hearing these raw expressions from a musical titan.
A titan - a good word for John. He was.
Wholeheartedly Thankful for Sharing. What a lovely surprise. Thank you so much for your efforts. Lots of love and light Dear John. We love you. Best wishes
Well wonderful early music John and Paul did. Oh miss you John.
Especially John...
Unbelievable! It's amazing to see how he created immortal songs. He literally created these great hits out of NOTHING.

Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird acoustic Guitar. One word...WOW! It looks and sounds GREAT! Only thing I had to do was change the Strings, and that's all!
Can't wait to start recording! Some folks say the Epi is better than the Gibson! That I couldn't say, I never played the Gibson Hummingbird. All I know is that the Epi sounds.
fantastic and it is now my go-to Acoustic Guitar, Over my 23-year-old "Martin Acoustic"........🎸🎹🥁🎙.
Oh wow! That Epiphone Inspired is beautiful, congratulations!
Material maravilloso. Gracias.
This is cool😊😊😊😊
Thanks for this 🙏🏻
Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие друзья и память
Thank you so so much...❤
Esto es para todos los que amamos al loco, GRACIAS.......
The question is… where and how did anyone get these?
Most of these recordings were originally aired on The Lost Lennon Tapes radio show. Also a great deal of the original tapes where auctioned and then digitalized and subsequently shared online. There is more info on where most of these recordings come from on the books Way Beyond Compare & That Magic Feeling.
Absolutely love that first version of Strawberry Fields. The genius seems to just pluck masterpieces out of thin air. Love John!
Loving this! Thank u!!!
No wonder he let George sing it! lol. This is amazing to hear, thanks
こんな物 世に出る事に 感謝❤
His electronic and Mellotron stuff are mental.
this testing equipment thing is kind of scary and hilariously funny at the same time.
My Hero
Wait - THEY HAD "WHAT GOES ON" in 1963?!!!! Amazing! Quite different though, but same chorus.
いったい、ジョンレノンとポールマッカートニーは、どれだけボツ曲があるのだろうか。その中には、絶対、名曲になりうるものがあると思う。
Sua anima è vive per sempre, 💕😅
it's like run to learn
If the Beatles had ever gotten back together Im sure they would have played Hey Bulldog live
Gracias por tanto. Te pasaste
JOHN SOUNDS LIKE HE HAD A COLD ON IF I FELL.
Where did this come from! Thank you
excelente trabalho! parabéns!
8:53 Wow infant version of Strawberry Fields...nice
Some of those guitar parts from so-called "He Said He Said" sound like Dr Robert. Interesting to hear how bits of one song ended up as bits of another.
How does someone just find this audio from 60 yrs ago?. .just randomly pops up on you tube in 2024??. .where do you get this from?
I got these recordings from various bootlegs. Most of the home demos were originally aired on the radio show The Lost Lennon Tapes; others where shared online once some of the original reels were digitalized. You can check the list with all the audio sources I've used to make this compilation on the pinned comment.
At the one minute mark we see John dancing with Helen Shapiro, a British singer and a star in her own right. She had a mad crush on John, lucky boy!
He was 22, she was 16. A bit like Ritchie and Maureen.
If there was just one reason why the www exists, then this could probably be it ' ...agree with me if you actually feel somehow slightly in John's head '
Love those early to mid sixties sytles and aesthetics. These are gems. Hearing those songs geow from their embryonic stages
First, many thanks for this! I'll confess this is a mean spirited post but as you go from Lennon's early 60's demos to the later ones, his own personality changes and his partnership with Ono appears the partial ruin of his talent, it's like he didn't care anymore, but then again he'd produced enough genius works he didn't need to, and he of course didn't have to compete musically with songs with Yoko's 'talent' as he had with Paul's.
HE said - Mmmm; OK song.
SHE said: Yes: SHE SAID, SHE SAID!!!
What is the background of these recordings? Where were they recorded and how were they made public? Very cool to hear the early imaginings of the epic tunes they became.
In the video description I included all the information about the where & when of these recordings. Most of them originally where aired on the radio show The Lost Lennon Tapes. If you're interested you should check out the books The Beatles Recorded Legacy (Way Beyond Compare & That Magic Feeling). I also pinned a comment with all the audio sources I used for creating this compilation.
Most of them were recorded in the attic music at John's Kenwood estate.
Thank you all for the info!
Gyi. They are personal home demos.
¿Cómo has conseguido estos audios? ¿Los has ido recopilando manualmente de entre antologías y rarezas? Me encanta tu canal, lo acabo de descubrir ahora mismo.
Exactamente, compile los audios que fui encontrando en diferentes bootlegs, principalmente "John Lennon - The Lost Home Tapes" y "The Beatles - Complete Home Recordings". Podes ver la fuente de todos los audios en el comentario que deje fijado. Además, consulte los libros "Way Beyond Compare" y "That Magic Feeling" para más información sobre estas grabaciones.
@2:34 the ahahaha bit from imagine
