Nice research !

Very interesting ! I wonder what Sean Lennon did with Johns vocal. Did he deliver a better source from Now And Then or did he use AI himself. I did it long time before Now And Then was released myself too. At that point i hoped and wondered if we ever hear The Beatles version. (Not knowing they were working on it !)

Also interesting it was Paul who decided to cut ' " I don''t want to loose you'" part. It is still there, but without Johns vocals. George is there too. You can hear his isolated guitar part on youtube.

Yes, I think Giles or Peter Jackson mentioned that Sean found a better copy.

Yeah in the podcast PJ said he phoned Sean (as you do) and asked him to find the original cassette and (this is what really impressed me) even asked him if it said "For Paul" on the front (it didn't, of course).

I continue to assume that the cassette that Yoko initially gave Paul was a dub of the four songs she offered him, with her own writing on it saying, "For Paul". It just makes sense.

Reading the timeline and seeing that the track was originally intended for release in October....makes me wonder if the delay was because The Stones had their "Angry" single out at the time, and album "Hackney Diamonds" imminent....resurrecting the old 60's "agreement" that they would avoid release clashes.

I've always thought it was because of Taylor Swift announcing her album the same week

Maybe they found out Sean has a better copy at that time. They worked on the new copy only on January 2023.
