To Know Her is To Love Her RS1
from BDJ's Cellar Full of Remixes · host BDJ
The Beatles started, and ended, their career with Phil Spector. Phil's (over)production of the Let It Be album is well documented. It is less well known that the Beatles performed a Phil Pector song on their first recording session: the Decca Audition, January 1st, 1962.That recording suggests that Lennon (lead vocals) was not at his best; his voice is too low, and too soft. Perhaps he did not like the song ? Pete Best' drumming did not add to the excitment either.....Here's an attempt to make the most of that same 1962 recording; double tracked vocals, strings & Horns (courtesy of Peter and Gordon (RIP)) turn it into a real Beatles track.I prefer it over the session recorded in 1963 (BBC Paris), where they attempted more harmonies, but didn't succeed.
