I like to think of these pictures cycling on the vid as editions of Beatles Albums in other Countries

[@marywealth6475]

Or other universes.

[@megatronusXZ]

I wish this was on spotify

[@mitchpoole179]

This is phenomenal and will take some beating

[@ronroe3615]

This is truly a great version.

[@MusicbyKR]

This will be really hard to top, simply breathtaking

[@bobmessier5215]

I'll be happy if the official Beatles "Now and Then" sounds as good as this!

[@brianwilliams8635]

I support your comment totally! Maybe after awhile we'll agree that if we really want to appreciate the Beatles, let's just listen to the original music! There's plenty of it. All these new attempts at resurrecting the Beatles are just a testament to John's talent - what it really means is that we'd like to imagine that he was never killed, that he just kept making music. The guy who wrote the book "Shout" thought John was 3/4 of the talent of the Beatles. A stretch? Paul and George did some totally classic stuff, but they had so much "drivel" among the non-hits on their solo albums. John would have been more consistent. The assassination of John was an example of "God works in ways mysterious."

[@celosemnexo]

It doesn't.

[@ij4927]

​@@celosemnexo It does by a mile

[@celosemnexo]

Iamaphoney, please contact the Beatles' managing team (Or Sir Paul himself) and make a deal in order to make this version available to the general public. The world needs to get to know this! Your version is more than genius, more than magical. It's definitive!

[@kwjsjjs]

Es un poco difícil llegar a un acuerdo sabiendo qué el señor iamaphoney piensa que paul en realidad está muerto y que por ende estaría negociando con willy campbell 😅

[@kwjsjjs]

Y también que los coros y todo no son de los beatles, es solo la canción de lennon mejorada con coros y guitarra, pero no tiene sentido lanzaría como the beatles si ninguno de los 3 restantes participa en esta versión

[@MrDhen88]

I would never bring this to anyone associated with the Beatles attention or they will certainly take it down. Shame on you

[@thebeatIes]

oh my - been there done that , this video has been taken down 6 times since upload in July. and what is that "shame on you " trip you are doing?@@MrDhen88

[@andrewlloydpeterson]

haha you mean Sir Faul>?

[@tobiasn.klausnitzer8043]

You’re the real fifth Beatle…! Really great work, seriously.

[@lowenbad]

I love your tenacity to continue pushing this back out regardless of how many times it gets banned. I absolutely love this mix. I would love to hear a “making of” to find out exactly what went into this version and what is what. This continues to be the “official” version for me.

[@NaratorZ]

Wish it was the version we got

[@ronroe3615]

This is the ultimate version. This has soul. John would be proud.

[@NaratorZ]

@@ronroe3615 yes he would

[@fosterthecat6625]

I also love this version, I was sad when the official came out and they delete every other versions

[@manolokonosko2868]

This video and the music created on this channel set the high bar for this song.

[@OldSkoolUncleChris]

Makes you wonder who the lunatic/genuis behind this channel is, he is either a nobody or some well sorted dude lol. This is beautiful.

[@eraeusboorwel]

The more I listen to this version, the more I feel like the official version isn't going to best it. It's going to have to be not just amazing, but beyond words to top this.

[@awesomeartdigital6077]

I think the Official version is going to be better, probably even different and we would get a better set of backing vocals from Paul and George, I mean its the Beatles and not a fake interpretation. Don't get me wrong this fantasy version is well done but it does not capture what Paul George and Ringo would have do or will do in the Official version coming out this Thursday.

[@kesooo724]

dude the demo has unfinished lyrics and with just John humming, so Paul and George wrote new verses to complete the song. this is just a glorified fan-made track edited with samples altogether

[@scottishcheese13]

@@kesooo724yeah. Also, the percussion on this version is interesting, but it’s waaay off for a Beatles song.

[@johnhill762]

holy shit... this sounds as if the actual band produced it... wow

[@AprilSnow3121]

This is more open and airy - the official one is muddy and compressed - would love to be able to purchase this in HQ

[@disneyscott98]

Can't wait to hear the official version, but I've definitely been enjoying this.

[@wdwnutjm]

my bandmate & I LOVE this version- this is even the version that we learned! thank you for continuing to post

[@supes12]

This is amazing. Easily the best version I’ve heard

[@tonysantos3827]

Absolutely blown away by your version of this song! Keep up the great work!

[@kevingregory2523]

Brilliant version. Hard to see how they decided not to continue producing this in the 90s when this version is possible

[@tdunph4250]

George said no at the time. Vetoed it. Still got a problem with it?

[@dalekwatcher]

Also the hum was an issue that technology hadn’t yet figured out how to remove.

[@kevingregory2523]

@@tdunph4250 as I understand it George had a problem with the sound quality. Surely it couldn't have been that unworkable if we can get a version like this out if it

[@Lindenrd25]

Because it´s very similar to Real Love, which was a better song.

[@PopUnlimited]

​@@kevingregory2523 but this was made in 2023 too? Presumably with the help of similar modern vocal extraction technique that they will have used

[@TyroneEpps]

I like this version !😊

[@stefan_becker]

Amazing work! Did not expect it was possible to generate that music based upon the old Lennon tape.

[@timball8429]

Great interpretation. I’m very impressed.

Incredible stuff.

[@MrManagra]

This is the FAR superior version compared to what we ended up with. I love this. I wish I could "like" it twice.

[@vivlund]

I’ve been listening to variations of your version of this song and it’s probably going to be my preferred version forever. I almost always prefer the first version of a song I’ve heard and gotten used to over subsequent versions. Good luck Paul and whoever is producing this new version. This version has always been so good, you’ve got your work cut out for you.

[@wrestlingluva]

Glad it's back!

[@disneyscott98]

I genuinely don't know how this can be topped. Like, this is essentially the version we've had for a decade or so and I've just accepted it as is. The *official* version will have to be better.

[@ebkesq72]

I think it can easily be topped.

[@kesooo724]

not a really high bar was set to be perfectly honest

[@Jimmie_Rudolfsson]

This is of course fake

[@shesarockstudios]

​@JimmieLeeCooper well no shit. But this is the one fans always listen to since they never released it.

It’s about to be topped

[@deanallen927]

This is a really cool one.

[@ellenbeckmann4293]

It's true, the Beatles 4ever...lg Elli from Germany ✌❤

[@RobGordon35]

If the version with the phone ringing is the one thats coming out I'll be properly made up! Couldnt believe people were saying it was an amateur effort; the harmony change is beautiful and the clarity of Johns voice is WAY better. Take a bow 'Lads' ~peace

[@celosemnexo]

The version you're talking about is an amateur version by the same guy who did the version in the video. Iamaphoney is his name/alias.

[@celosemnexo]

In fact, they're both the same version, with little differences.

I remember when I was in my late twenties waiting for the big reveal...I’m 41 years-old now lolll. Nonetheless, you’re super talented and your version of Saint-Paul is my favorite.

[@FrankCatneyMusic]

I was in high school. Feels surreal thinking about all those years ago!

[@jtmichaelson]

I thought of you first when I heard the news. And now it's your time to shine. I'm not sure if The Beatles can make theirs as good as yours. We'll just have to see. Love this new mix.

[@R0LLlNGSTONES]

enjoying this a lot

[@MudmanBlues]

the solo has that Nowhere Man vibe to it, great work

[@jamesdriver7213]

This is fantastic. I concur with many of the commenters. I will be very surprised if the official release is better than this.

[@elizabethevangeliste8725]

Thank you Billy! ~

[@thebeatIes]

Good to see its back

[@KieranRobinson-zz6ug]

That acoustic guitar strum is hypnotizing 😮

[@lukeiovenitti4124]

Iamaphoney, I’ve been a fan of your work for over a decade. One of my favorites of yours is the supposed demo of that Peace of Mind. There was an interview with Jilette who’s heard the new version of Now and Then and his descriptions of the new version of this song match the version you presented long before then. I can’t tell if I’m excited to hear and see how much you got right or be disappointed that I’ve heard it already 😂

[@andreistroe4140]

wonderful

I recalled having read somewhere that last Beatles song was Now and Then, but this was years ago, I dont ever thought it would happened this time in the future.

Amazing production and amazing artwork. AMAZING , interesting and fcking AMAZING The artwork is so intriguing man!?? What is most of it?? Seems aristocratically sinister

[@jeffkaufman9875]

@merluss Your assertion SOUNDS good, but what does it mean?..

[@christianmay3959]

Obviously, life in general is dull. So when you listen to this song you feel ecstasy. Well, I would need something hotter.

[@Hammerman48]

I’m sure the new official version won’t disappoint. I only just come across this version……it’s well done……but I’m sure the official will be fab!

Spookey. This is ART, but it makes you wonder about humanities past, and future. Emotionally jarring, but it certainly draws me in. Unexpected trajectories will do that to us, I think. Buckle up.

Clever and entertaining photos!

[@JamesPauIMcCartney]

better than the real deal

[@DirkHardegen]

Really SO Much better that the official version.

[@SuperLingual]

sorry for my translator english, but completely agree with me! The alternative version catapults the Beatles into 2023 with such force that it will make you dizzy! At 2:00 I thought the lever was on the board, Macca was pounding the bass like there was no end, solo guitar came in and a chip from George! I had to listen to a 2 hour loop "under water". Beatles in the 21st century and Stones on crutches! Feedback geben

[@ronroe3615]

I completely agree. Although I'm glad Paul and Ringo put the song out I was a little disappointed. After hearing this version and the Apple Band version the real one lacked quite a bit.

[@RobGordon35]

Not fan made, it was the real deal

[@celosemnexo]

​@@RobGordon35It's not the real deal. It was fan-made. All instruments were recorded, mixed and released by a Beatles fan. All but the original voice and piano, recorded by John, and some voice samples by the other Beatles.

​@@giewusI think its been removed. It was on the Beatles official page so does make you question why they would post a fans version. 🤔
