Re: HAVE YOU HEARD THE WORD? 1969 Beatles Bootleg Song in STEREO
got this as kid 80s on Spicy Beatle record bootleg and love it even now thanks for this sounds amazingDocRobert wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 1:51 pm Here's my new stereo mix of HAVE YOU HEARD THE WORD which was on my very first Beatles bootleg LP and I always thought it was an Abbey Road outtake sung by John (and so did Yoko who, in 1985, registered the title as a Lennon composition!). It turns out this song was written & recorded on 6th August 1969 by Bee Gee Maurice Gibb (sung in the style of Lennon), Billy Lawrie (Lulu's brother - Lulu had married Maurice that February), and Australians Steve Kipner & Steve Groves (aka Tin Tin) while Maurice was high on heavy painkillers, nursing a broken arm, and taking full advantage of London's IBC Studios free drinks bar! It's a really grotty recording as it was never meant to see the light of day, but Beacon Records thought otherwise and in 1970 released a mono 45 under the band name 'The Fut'. For this first-time stereo mix I cleaned up the recording to reduce distortion, and used some nice panning on the vocal tracks to create a more interesting stereo soundstage.

Thank you! This was nice, with some nifty panning effects. I'd like to know about the truncated version on some bootlegs, that leaves out the middle eight on purpose, with a 'pausing the tape and coming back to the song in progress' effect. Where did that come from?
P.S.: Has anyone ever uncovered what song or group is on the B-side with their blue-beat kind of instrumental?
