Imagine sitting 3 feet away from your friend and he plays this to you. They must have constantly looked at each other in utter amazement, respect and pride.

I am OBSESSED with this. I only don't like the slightly out of tune sounding note after "tree" but everything else is completely stunning. There's never nothing to listen to with the beatles, even their isolated tracks, rare songs, takes are so addicting and skilfully made

[@cjsmith4152]

John’s voice gives me chills

[@hungfao]

Those brief harmonies made my ears perk up. Those sound like they would have worked very well. Of course I could be starving for another unheard harmony sequence from these guys. It's been a while.

I never would have suspected this take was actually a whole-step (actually 1/2 and a 1/4 of a step) lower than it was as released on Anthology (without backing vocals) and the 50th Anniversary Sgt. Pepper reissue, if you catch my drift. But in this key, it sounds extraordinarily natural!

[@Illneverremember1]

So many possibilities for such a marvelous song, no wonder they couldn't resist fooling around with it.

Thanks for sharing can you get an Isolated piano track of Paul McCartneys Beautiful Night.

Hearing this in early 1967 you knew the Fab 4/Beatlemania was gone forever. Got your first warning when news came out in early September 1966 that John cut his hair, this clinched it. Still stuns me this was 3 years after I Want to Hold Your Hand hit the American Top 40. Beatles were from another reality.

[@timtonner946]

Even this take is hypnotizing. Lennon's voice. Damn!

I cry every time i hear John sing, in sad, in joy

[@jsmyers24151]

On the final version of this song, the first one minute, in my book, is the greatest one minute ever recorded in Rock history, because it's all them, no strings, no horns, just The Beatles. Truly Rock Art in its greatest form.

To think of how many different - COMPLETELY different - iterations of SFF they tried before they cut, pasted, and sped up/slowed down all the takes to make the masterpiece we all know.
