[@tovarisch2788]

Listen to George's vocals on the intro, and remember that he was thought of (early on) as not that great a singer. What? He was sublime.

[@hmm3484]

That was always ridiculous. George had a great voice and I still prefer his over the others’.

[@jabc1099]

Classism was a large issue in Britain at the time, and Liverpudlians specifically were pretty low on the class hierarchy. I'd assume it might've been because his accent was considerably strong when compared to Paul or John. That'd make more sense of this to me.

[@jacquismith3277]

Sublime is the right word!

[@charlie891]

george was a better singer than john

[@emmageorgia1564]

Sometimes George sounds like Paul, and sometimes George sounds like John

[@inmylifeivelovedthemall]

Thats that magic about his voice

[@robertmantsh6494]

George blended into the middle of the two other voices perfectly. This is one of the factors in their overall great band sound.

[@c.syde65]

He sounds more like John, but he does have a rather smooth voice like Paul, and a timbre somewhere inbetween. His accent is also thicker than John and Paul's accents.

[@marie_01s]

More like John

@@marie_01s Agreed.

[@deljefferys3718]

I'm a life long Beatles fan and this is the first time I've heard this! It's just incredible. It really should have featured on one of their early LP's

[@0biwan77]

It’s not just the Beatles. At least one of the featured vocals is not a Beatle at all. It’s probably Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers, possibly Billy J Kramer. At this time when recording contracts were being signed and first albums being made, the Liverpool bands were known to help each other out in the recording studio. I know the Beatles sometimes helped out on tracks they had given away. Don’t know what they might have done on covers, such as this, which were plentiful on all their first albums. What I do know (by ear not info) is that one of the key singers in this unusual arrangement is not George.

[@1982pencil]

@@0biwan77 No, this is the Beatles. It’s from the 1962 Decca audition they did (and famously failed).

But of course Pete did what he had to to make it through life. He mentioned a while back and I believe on the David Letterman Show . After he left the Beatles he was with another group they were the opening act for the Beatles. When they came off the stage because now it was time for the Beatles to perform. They passed the Beatles along way and he said that they didn't acknowledge his presence. Pete Best said he always was sad about it.
