I wasn't, but I might now you've suggested it.

Yeah, there's no law to stop you taking an out of copyright composition and calling it yours. It's something a lot of people have done, taking a forgotten song and giving it new words.

With this one John recorded himself playing guitar and singing while Fred Seaman banged a bongo drum. Unusually he was recording in stereo, but I guess by that time stereo cassette recorders were much more common. He then recorded over to another mono machine with the stereo tape playing in the background and they added another John vocal, some more guitar work and Fred playing what sounds like a woodblock this time.

In this demix John's guitar is in the centre but has the stereo room ambience, the bongo is far left, the first vocal is towards the left, the second vocal is towards the right, and the extra guitar and wood block is far right. Because the sound of the first tape being captured by the microphone is gone, the quality is also a lot nicer.

Thanks for your great work.
I've always wondered whether you've ever thought of having ago at a decent sounding stereo long version of "Ill cry instead" from a hard days night film credits. I've come across a few versions over the years but they always sounded very bright and not very good.
Always thought you could work your magic on a decent sounding one.
Just a thought

Fantastic job, very enjoyable!

Now – Fred was no Pete Best, so the perfect version of this remix would be to drop those bongoes...

BTW, this reminds me of the Kinfauns demos.

Thanks for the reply lord reith
I always thought it had a certain charm and was disappointed they never put the stereo version on the 2014 capitol boxset.
Many thanks.

Wondering if it's possible to do a demix/remix of "Heather"--the studio one with Donovan and Mary Hopkin? Would be cool to have a stereo version that's edited such that we don't have Don's off-key harmonies mucking things up...

Same could be done with "How D'You Do" from the same session, maybe...

Just sayin'.
