I had the pleasure of hearing the local Am station play it in its entirety on the day of its release.right, but a lot of that music is also really good. The first solo album (Plastic Ono Band) is great, in my opinion. Really varied and consistently high quality songwriting, with a nice stripped down production.
NIce, but for me, the original will always be the best. Need Ringo and the tambourine. And the piano solo.Yeah, Imagine is one of those songs on the list of "Never Wanna Hear Again In My Life". Period. In My Life, however is a classic. And my favorite version is done by no other than Judy Collins. Pure, simple, beautiful.....
Gimme "In My Life" any day, I think it's a much stronger piece.
At least John went on to do better things with his career than Paul McCartney
Gimme "Gimme Some Truth"!

Speaking of "guest musicians", let's not forget Tommy Smothers' Guild participated in the recording of "Give Peace A Chance".Not just a "piano solo"!
"During the Rubber Soul sessions, Martin took it upon himself to find a way to finish “In My Life.” In Anthology, he said how he came up with the solo while the band was having a tea break. But it was too difficult for him to play live in the studio. So he played it at one octave lower and at half the speed you hear on the record. Then he sped it up to double time and played it for John, who gave it the thumbs-up. Listening to the record, you’d think it was a classically trained pianist handling the embellishments and runs."

Maybe we need to start a list of link related posts that are "bad form"?
The first three on my list would be:
- Posting a link to something that requires a person to be logged in to that site in order to read.
- Specifically, posting a link to Facebook content that requires a login.
- Posting a link to a anything that can be discussed and expecting people to read comments and not just respond to the posted item.
Getting back to Al's original post, they did perform this live but to a pre-recorded rhythm track, correct? (Walrus, I'm sure you will know)
Love the feel of the live vocals in this version, especially the "shoo be doo wahs" by Paul and George!
Are Lennon and McCartney the best song composers in history? Melodies and lyrics.
Not comparing with classic composers like Bach, Beethoven, etc.
