"for your sweet top lip I'm in the queue...". Not even Shakespeare wrote a better line than this! So grateful for you Britt. It's like experiencing them for the first time. Very emotional.
Thank you! Unexpectantly I'm hearing this quite often about the bass. I didn't touch the bass in my remix but I did increase the volume of the kick drum which in my opinion enhances the bass by giving it more energy and punch. This in conjunction with Giles' modifications probably improved the bass over earlier mixes. Thanks for listening!
For those who didn't think The Beatles could rock, just crank it up and listen to this as well as Revolution and Hey Bulldog too. The Beatles could do it all.
That bass line I've listened to for over 50 years is now clearer than ever and I always thought it sounded like a slide bass guitar, if that could be so. This would be the first time the bass hooked me, as I never really appreciated the depth of what could be achieved. Thanks for a video of what could possibly be the first time this song had lip-sink. I'd love to know your resource area, as you seem to find gold in them there hills!
I was 12 when the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan Show in Feb 1964. I was hooked, with the British Invasion that they brought over here to America. These remixes are the best sound of the Beatles I ever heard. Keep coming out with more, your doing a GREAT Job Derek J
Nicely done! If it was mixed like this in the first place it would not be an underrated song. Lol just shooting the sht. Always been one of my favorite songs, any way it is mixed. Always liked the weird vocal mix it adds to the uniqueness of the song. This version seem to clarify everything and so seems to sound even better
Yes, this is a tough one. I'm so used to listening to the original voic that it's a shock to hear his voice so upfront. I din't hear any distortion at all. GOod job
First, thank you for all your effort on all of these remixes! I can't imagine how much time you spent on them. But I'm sure it was a blast while you were doing it! As far as this one goes, I love that George's vocals are finally brought up front. They sound great! One question though: why did you choose to minimize the piano so much? I love that you can hear the organ and even the yells going into the solo, but the piano is such a fun part and brings so much energy to this track! I definitely do miss it.
Thank you for acknowledging my effort and I do spend a lot of time on them but it's extremely fun. I'm glad you liked the upfront George vocals on the mix but I didn't do any modification with the piano. I used the Giles Martin 2023 remix as my source and apparently he diminished the piano somewhat. If so, I really do not know his justification. Thank you for your comment and thank you very much for listening!
@@britt2001b I see. I've only listened to the Blue album once, so I didn't recall that. If you ever take another stab at it, I'd love to hear it with that piano track up a bit!
Thank you for the suggestion. I've always been curious about this but I knew the impurities of the original vocal recording would be raised also. After many listens during the remixing, my ears seemed to adapt to the distortion and it appeared to turn out better than expected.

Esta obra merecia un lugar preponderante en algun lugar del album no para cara B , siempre lo senti como tirado y olvidado en un lado del disco chico , gran voz de harrsion y acompañaminto muy adelante de su tiempo !
Thank you! Even without vocals it would still be very enjoyable. George's lead guitar in this song was one of his finest moments as a Beatle. Thanks for listening!
@@EdKazO-Vision Yes, I usually like these remixes but the more prominent vocals sound, to me, as though they have too much room noise or atmosphere for the rest of the mix.
I love this track so much. Proof that in addition to all of the superlatives about them, at their core, they were simply an amazingly tight band. I love how they react to and play off of each other throughout. This might be my favorite of Giles Martin's 2023 mixes, and I love hearing those vox up front. Cheers.

Thank you! I'm hearing this about the bass a lot. Although I didn't touch the bass in my remix I did raise the volume of the kick drum which in my opinion accentuates the bass. Also the Giles 2023 remix, which I used as the source, accents the bass. It is indeed a great bass line.
This definitely sounds like it should have in the first place. I never liked the buried vocals that you couldn’t understand in the original. Good work, Britt!!! I always enjoy your Beatles mixes!!!
And this work of yours has the right to stand on a par with the works of both Martins. George was in the role of stepson of the elder Martin, he is your native... Thank you for breathing new life into this eternal music! (But I wouldn't put the bass part on the back burner. She's great in this song!)

Sehr lakonisch. Many Beatlessongs are so laconically. This guitarsolo, only few seconds long, is absolutely perfect (the same with Ringos drums). The Beatles were on the one hand eclecticists, on the other masters of limitation.
This one's got me scratching my head. Clearly the vocals are better but as you pointed out they weren't great to begin with. Once again the bass seems to breathe more than I remember. And yet you're only moving vocals around. I can clearly hear what PMC is doing on the bass. This has been a by-product of some of your mixes and it has me scratching my head in a good way. Love your mixes and the fact that you respect original intent. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for your comment. I didn't mention this in my description, as I wanted to focus entirely on the vocals, but I did raise the kick drum a bit. I'll do this quite often with my remixes to lock better with the bass. To me, it adds more energy and punch. Perhaps this is what you're hearing. Thanks for listening!
Thank you, glad you're enjoying the remixes. Unfortunately, 'You Know My Name, Look Up The Number' would not be allowed for TH-cam publishing as only the songs from the recently re-issued 'Red' and 'Blue' albums are permitted. If that changes, this would be a great candidate for a remix. Thanks for listening!
@@WayneFawcett-v1h 'Hey Bulldog' was actually added to the new version of the 'Red' and 'Blue' album. I have worked on a remix of it but just have not found a way to make it more interesting than the official 2023 remix.
@@britt2001b I'm trying to think of ideas, but you have a ton more experience than me. Firstly, it would be great to see one of your videos on this song. They are just getting better and better. On the remix, bring out the fun sounds more, the barks, bring forward the lead, of course, and make the bass ring like a bell. I wanna feel the base reverberate through my bones. If that's nonsense then, I don't know what I'm talking about *LOL*
Funny, the vocals up front is more interesting. But it doesn't sound better. That's where Martin senior's instincts were often so spot on. Always accentuating the strengths without sacrificing the sonics. I feel you often excel at the same thing. 🎉
Thank you. Yes, my mix certainly does not make it sound better but I agree it does make it more interesting. I think it demonstrates why the vocals have always been buried on this recording but I could be wrong, it could have been intentional for effect. After 55 years I've never come across a real answer to this mystery.
@britt2001b I know you loath suggestions because of the limitations. However I have always longed for a remix of Don't Let Me Down that includes the 3 part harmony, that they decided to leave off. The harmonies were really done in classic Beatles style. And the Martin produced basic track is really one of their best later recordings. They did put it out with the Get Back box set as a Glyn John's mix. Not as good. Anyway, thanks for what you do. I thoroughly enjoy whatever you come up with!
It's an improvement. I always thought the lowered vocals was intended to make the music sound bigger, but it only made for a frustrating listening experience for me. It's as if the main subject of a photo is blurry, makes you strain your eyes to focus, unsuccessfully.
Thank you, I'm glad you think so. It's always been frustrating for me also. Some of their vocal experimentation I liked, but this one I did not. Thanks for listening!
I made an attempt to put the single version and Anthology 3 version together in a DAW to get a nice vocal and piano mix and include the excellent guitar solo on the Anthology version. But it was a fiddly affair. It was only 2 tracks of course, being the whole two songs. They ran at slightly different speeds, so there were a lot of chopping and stretching of clips to make the beats match. Nice job on this one, but some of the guitar is a bit lost in-between his lyrics.

YERSTERDAY !...PLEASE WOULD YOU BE SO KIND TO LET ME KNOW ....THANKNYOU VERY MUCH ❤️❤️❤️💥🔥🙏🏻😱🥳✌🏻...JUST KEEP THIS AWESOME WORK YOU DO GOING ....✌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you! You're most certainly welcome! I've looked at a few of your suggestions already and have worked on one but was not happy with the result. I wouldn't know what to do with 'Yesterday'. It's such a perfect recording especially with the strings separated now. Thanks again for listening!
After recording The Balad of John and Yoko without George, John and Paul decided to put Old Brown Shoe as the b-side to compensate! I'm sure George was very compensated!
Another fantastic remix of one of George's under rated songs. This was the "B" side to The Ballad Of John and Yoko if memory serves.... Wow, you can actually hear the vocals so clearly!!! The original was over saturated with "muddy" bass. The only problem I have with your remixes is that it's harder to listen to the original..or other remix...
That was the one thing I was looking forward to with the 2023 remix and the lead vocal was still really low. Why would George record his voice like this?!
Hi. I have certainly enjoyed many of your other mixes, but with respect I think you missed it this time. This offering sounds more like a demo. Occasionally pop songs are improved by offering a bit of mystery in the vocal presentation. I think this is what George was going for in the original mix. I tend to agree that up front Beatle vocals are often what give them true personality, but on occasion, the recording method (as you mentioned) does not suit that approach. As always, your video offering is top notch.
Please help me understand. I realize that the Beatles were always trying for new sounds and didn't want to repeat themselves. But was the concept here that George would sound like his voice was being recorded in a broom closet, or perhaps inside an actual old brown shoe? It sounds like a first-time podcaster who doesn't know how to place a mic or treat a room. Was it just intentionally awful for effect?
I've referenced the Mark Lewisohn book 'The Official Abbey Road Studio Session Notes' within it he states "On Wednesday 16 April George Harrison huddled into a small corner of Studio 3 to record his lead vocal trying to achieve a tight but natural echo." He also states that the recording was mixed the same day so possibly this could have been a rush job. This most certainly could have been fixed by a second vocal take in a more conventional manner so maybe this 'shoebox' sound was intentional. The only remedy that I'm aware of with today's technology would be an A.I. program that could mimic Harrison's voice. I wouldn't be an advocate of this because it's really not a fix, just reasonable facsimile of the original.
Vocal still sounds weak and detached. Sounds like a scratch vocal, to be re-done later. George was a fine singer, but it took real producers like George Martin, Phil Spector or Jeff Lynne to make him sound right in the mix.
Man, Ringo held that groove like an atomic clock!
Sure did. And Paul's bass is spot on as well.
The person who plays drums in this song is Paul McCartney, Ringo was recording a movie
@@Fuzcapp I read awhile back that george played bass on this song.....

I want a love that's right
But right is only half of what's wrong
I want a short haired girl
Who sometimes wears it twice as long
[Chorus 1]
Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe
Baby, I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here
It won't be the same now, I'm telling you
[Verse 2]
You know you pick me up
From where some try to drag me down
And when I see your smile
Replacing every thoughtless frown
[Chorus 2]
Got me escaping from this zoo
Baby, I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here
It won't be the same now when I'm with you
[Bridge]
If I grow up I'll be a singer
Wearing rings on every finger
Not worrying what they or you say
I'll live and love and maybe someday
Who knows, baby, you may comfort me, hey
[Instrumental Verse]
[Bridge]
I may appear to be imperfect
My love is something you can't reject
Changing faster than the weather
If you and me should get together
Who knows, baby, you may comfort me
[Verse 3]
I want that love of yours
To miss that love is something I'd hate
I'll make an early start
I'm making sure that I'm not late, hey
[Chorus 3]
For your sweet top lip, I'm in the queue
Baby, I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here
It won't be the same now when I'm with you
[Outro]
I'm so glad you came here
It won't be the same now when I'm with you

some of the best leads in the Beatles were played by Paul, and this shows that some of the best bass lines were played by George.
Great as always BUT I was kinda hoping you'd fix the missing guitar riffs (starting at 34secs).
Thank you! I thought about that because it has always bugged me. I should have!
@@britt2001b It’s never too late.
That was the one thing I was looking forward to with the 2023 remix and the lead vocal was still really low. Why would George record his voice like this?!
Same here! This and 'She Loves You' were big disappointments from the 2023 remixes. Thanks for listening!
He did it on purpose. It’s pretty cool in my opinion.
Hi. I have certainly enjoyed many of your other mixes, but with respect I think you missed it this time. This offering sounds more like a demo. Occasionally pop songs are improved by offering a bit of mystery in the vocal presentation. I think this is what George was going for in the original mix. I tend to agree that up front Beatle vocals are often what give them true
personality, but on occasion, the recording method (as you mentioned) does not suit that approach. As always, your video offering is top notch.
Thanks!
It’s a nice accompanying video but truth be told only George and Ringo were in the studio when this was recorded......
The vocal is much better.
What happened to the guitars.......
Please help me understand. I realize that the Beatles were always trying for new sounds and didn't want to repeat themselves. But was the concept here that George would sound like his voice was being recorded in a broom closet, or perhaps inside an actual old brown shoe? It sounds like a first-time podcaster who doesn't know how to place a mic or treat a room. Was it just intentionally awful for effect?
I feel the same way.I never thought the vocal was mixed in properly.Although this is better than the original
I've referenced the Mark Lewisohn book 'The Official Abbey Road Studio Session Notes' within it he states "On Wednesday 16 April George Harrison huddled into a small corner of Studio 3 to record his lead vocal trying to achieve a tight but natural echo." He also states that the recording was mixed the same day so possibly this could have been a rush job. This most certainly could have been fixed by a second vocal take in a more conventional manner so maybe this 'shoebox' sound was intentional. The only remedy that I'm aware of with today's technology would be an A.I. program that could mimic Harrison's voice. I wouldn't be an advocate of this because it's really not a fix, just reasonable facsimile of the original.
No. You didn't make this one better. Prefer the original mix.
Vocal still sounds weak and detached. Sounds like a scratch vocal, to be re-done later. George was a fine singer, but it took real producers like George Martin, Phil Spector or Jeff Lynne to make him sound right in the mix.
Could still use a bit of clarity on George's vocals.
Doesn't sound better than the original track
If it weren't for Yoko, the Beatles would have created a new type of music. what a waste.
the voice is too forward
Great! and a shoutout to that ‘New Orleans’ drum shuffle
Not unlike Savoy Truffle
Not as good as the released version!
Wow you certainly have a strange idea of how to remix these songs, George sounds like he's singing way too loud to a cassette recorder?
