The Beatles 'If I Needed Someone' 3 Part Harmony Vocals Separated Wider In 2024 Remix

[@liveinthepresent219]

They’ll sound great 1,000 years from now.

[@tonyginnetti5828]

"If I Needed Someone" was one of Beatle George's songs that kinda flew under the radar, but I've always thought it was one of his finest compositions and is still I my top 5 of my favorite Harrison songs as a Beatle!

[@FiremanSam60]

I think this was the song that fascinated me most on Rubber Soul and elevated them yet higher in my mind - I was 12 and learning the guitar from copying their songs. I would work out the bass and use that as a guide to determine the chords. But on this one I was caught out because Paul obviously stays on the same A rooted bass line throughout verse while the guitars change chord to G. That was the first time he'd done that and along with the harmonies, it creates a totally different song.

[@franksmith6871]

My favorite of George's songs and I also LOVE McCartney's singing bass line in this song! Truly joyful!

[@landonhall1852]

Paul is on first tenor.

[@Jjrmtv]

still sounds as fresh and lively now as it did when it was released

[@emivideojuegosyt191]

I like how distinct George's lead vocal is, he sings the word someone like some-one while John and Paul's backup vocals sing it like so-meone

My pleasure, thank you! I've been wanting to hear it this way since 1966!

[@garyrosenberg3369]

[@Bizzle65]

The 2009 version was not a remix. It was just a remaster of the mix that George Martin did in 1987 for the first CD release. He didn’t have the technology available to be able to separate out all of the elements and so just narrowed the even harder panning that was on the original 1965 stereo mix. Unfortunately he also used some digital reverb. This is a lovely remix. Thank you.

Excellent work. It’s clear a rare form of Byzantine chant called ison is here. One voice stays constant, usually the lower voice, and the second one is a melodic interval. It’s a very old form, from the early church, and in a way is like cantor singing. Your mix brought that out, thank you. The stereo field is wonderful.

Bravo!! Excellent!! Simply stellar!! You know, I was excited when the Beatles' music WAS FIRST-TIME brought to CD in 1987...that is UNTIL I listened to those 1st digital mixes.For example, ORIGINALLY on the last note of "Tell Me Why", George strums the last note, then slides his fingers UP the neck of the guitar in the fade out...but on CD, that part was MISSING!😢 What you have done here is make what was GREAT even GREATER!!! Thanks for what you do!!! Any chance you could tackle "Rain"???. That song is pretty awesome as is, but I bet YOU could put a "shine" on it!!! Cheers and best wishes from George B in Boston!!

Also, Giles could be restrained by strict instructions where I am not. It's very fortunate that just recently the copyright owners allowed some of their songs to appear on KZbin.

Stunning mix of my favorite George Harrison Beatles song. George's vocal is more pronounced and almost sounds slightly out of key to the backing harmony, but somehow still manages to sound great. I am not a music guy, so not sure that's a good explanation, but I love the song.

This song proves that George could compete with John and Paul by this time. Killer tune, every bit as good as his later masterpiece Here Comes the Sun. Talent or ability aside, George was the coolest Beatle. Plus he had the best solo album by all four. He is missed.

[@britt2001b]

When I saw The Beatles live in 1966 I was hoping they would play this song as it was my favorite from the U.S. 'Yesterday And Today' album. When I saw the 12-string Rickenbacker on stage I knew they would, and they did!

[@allisons3663]

The vocals sound glorious! Did you ever try to remix Sinatra's "That's Life"? The original mix is typical hard panning 60's and the 2008 remix was awful. The drums probably just need to be centered and maybe stereo background vocals for a more balanced sound.

Quoting Wikipedia: A number of authors, including Ian MacDonald, Richie Unterberger, and Bud Scoppa, have commented on the Byrds influence on the Beatles' late 1965 album Rubber Soul, most notably on the songs "Nowhere Man" and "If I Needed Someone", the latter of which utilizes a guitar riff similar to that in the Byrds' cover of "The Bells of Rhymney".
