Thank you! I've always thought this "mash-up" of the different versions of GOWM was done very well, maybe it'd be a help to you as you tweak your version...
Ah yes I've heard of this version! In fact it was this that initially got me invested in making by own attempt in the first place, it's a fantastic cover. The one thing that I do consider disappointing with it though is that there is no sample of George's guitar used, but overall it's the best edit I've seen. The lack of a guitar part was the first thing I went about adding to mine, and I did try to make a similar mashup to this video in the beginning of my project but could never figure out a way to cleanly isolate all the different instruments from the various releases. That's why I went for a simple combination between John's original vocals and the Ringo instrumental. It's nowhere near as good but it never could be.
However you did give me the idea to add a little snippet of John's voice to the start of the track, like how it is in the video. I got it from the "Gimme Some Truth" remix. I've now updated the link in the original post and added in a new edit of the song along with Cover art. The pitch has been corrected as per suggestions given by others here. Some of john's high notes ("Face the sETTing sUN" and others) could not be altered in an meaningful way, but to be honest I want to keep these parts as they show emotion and have a bit of charm to them. It was only a demo at the end of the day, John never got the chance to give the song more polish so I won't either.
I don't think I will be doing any more edits after this, my version was mostly complete anyways and I am fully satisfied with how it sounds now.
