The Beatles – Anthology 2 – I’m Looking Through You

Posted by admin on November 30th, 2009 and filed under anthologies | 25 Comments »

Montage – Version from Anthology 2, recorded EMI studios, London, 24 October 1965.

The Beatles spent 9 hours working on this, perfecting rhythm track and then overdubbing lead and harmony vocals. For 2 weeks the result was considered to be the master, until a remake was started on 6 November that added the 2 ‘why, tell me why’ choruses and caused this first version to remain unissued.

    This is the original, which was rejected a few days after it was recorded. They thought it would be better if speeded up.

    I actually would love it if someone added the why tell me why part but I love how slow he sings the lyrics in this version. It sort of sounds like he is teasing someone the way he sings it.

    I bet somebody could speed this up a little and add the ‘why tell me why’ part so then you have the whole version with the killer rhythm track… i know theres at least one beatle fanatic out there with the software and skill to be able to do that
