Well they were taped by different people and although they sound similar one has just a little bit more top end (louder cymbals), but sadly it is looped in one part to cover a damaged section. So I consider the other one the default but at the same time I wouldn't want the other one to get forgotten, and there was room, so why not.bonniegreg wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 7:04 am Thank you for this incredible treasure, Mr. Lord. Keep Your Hands Off My Baby is a long-time favorite of mine. I'm a bit perplexed by the 2 different sources/edits. Please forgive my aging ears, but I can't tell the difference without a roadmap and clues. Please explain. Also, didn't we have an extended Ringo intro once upon a time?
The extended intro was something faked for the commercial release. We don't really know if there was an intro or not, but since the Little Eva version starts cold it is assumed the Beatles version starts in the same way (as presented here). But I've learnt never to assume anything!
