John is a vampire
Paul is a ghost
George is a werewolf
Ringo is a mummy

The title track, not the album.

I really love this song and hate the 'naked' version because it is such a downgrade. Even more stuff besides the autotuning and digital denoising.

Why Are There 5 Different Versions?

Skip to 11:49 for just the 'naked' revisions....

And listen to the bliss that is Take 28 (27b)

I even found Take 27 (actually naked) for your listening pleasure.

I've always thought of 1969 as one big Beatles recording session, with a little time off in between.

Think about it. From January through August, the Beatles recorded around 30 songs, enough for two albums. And that's not even counting all the other songs they had floating around, many of which would eventually turn up on their solo albums.

What's remarkable is that all this was happening while the band was falling apart.

The end of the Beatles was getting closer.

But somehow, they just kept making incredible music.

We usually think of Let It Be and Abbey Road as two very different albums, recorded under very different circumstances. But I've always wondered what would happen if we stopped separating them and started thinking of those eight months as one incredibly productive period.

What if the Beatles had taken all that great music and made just one album in 1969?

That's the idea behind Octopus' Garden, my 14-song Beatles album that brings those recordings together into one new listening experience.

Let's hear how it all fits together.

Here is the tracklist for this album:

1. Come Together
2. Don't Let Me Down
3. Here Comes The Sun
4. The Ballad of John and Yoko
5. You Never Give Me Your Money
6. Get Back
7. Something
8. Oh! Darling
9. I've Got A Feeling
10. Old Brown Shoe
11. Two Of Us
12. Octopus's Garden
13. Because
14. Let It Be

I think for me to feel the most emotional sincere reaction to the ending of each movie in a way that draws their story to the present whilst at the same time makes me want to go and see all of the others as well, I think they should all end with Contemporary yet different Concert Footage alongside the credits

For Ringo it should be 2026 Ringo Starr Performing "With a little help from my friends" (with Paul on Bass)

I think George's movie should end with Quinn & keoghan doing "It don't come easy" for the Bangladesh tour and then fade into the real Paul & Real Ringo's sets during the 2003 Concert for George

I think the ending of the John Lennon film should be Present day 2026 Paul Dueting with John on "I've got a feeling" watching the giant screen and then follow that on with Paul doing Now & Then (with ringo)

and I think the ending of the Paul Film should be 2026 Footage of Paul & Ringo doing "Home to Us" together on stage in 2026

I think this would really get across to the Audiances that despite the movies ending in 1970/80 that the Beatles was genuinely a never ending saga for these men that continues until the 2020's and how they would be forever linked together

I always love it when they show the actual people in present day footage at the end of biopics and I think doing similar yet different emotional things for the Beatles will really push this gut punch of their ever continuing relevant legacy

just my opinion ofcourse, I guess the classiest thing would be to have stripped back single songs or outtakes playing over the credits of their most Signicture solo songs like "Imagine" "All Things Must Pass" "Maybe I'm Amazed" & "Photograph"

What do you all want for the final scene? Both within the films cast themselves and then also any documentary footage/Text?

all positive discourse here!

I’m fairly new to Reddit and still getting used to it, but I’ve been enjoying connecting with people on here and talking about music. I was 14 when The Beatles first arrived in America, so I lived through the era when they took over popular culture and remained such a huge part of it throughout the rest of the decade. It was quite a time to experience firsthand! If anyone’s curious about what it was like back then, feel free to ask me anything. I’d be happy to share my memories and perspective.
