Other than that I think it sounds really good Even great!
Vocals are awsome
Ya......... that lead can make you bleed At least to my ears.
I thought it was Steve Miller? I know that Steve is on the album and co-wrote with Paul. Anyhoo, nice work, sounds great.Simman said:The origianl was a duo with Jeff Lynn, which accounts for the ELO feel in the arangement of the harmonies.

I agree with Dr. Frued. The lead guitar could be lowered and EQ'd a tad.
Great vocal harmonies!
Track Rat said:Like Paulie's grandfather, "it's very clean" (extreme Beatle nerds will get this). Well done.
zen_arcade said:Extremely well done. Love that lead tone, actually. The backups are terrific too. Really enjoyed this.
Kevin Lowe said:Great job on the vocals/harmonies. I haven't heard this song in a while - loved it when it first came out. Your voice reminds me of George Harrison. Kinda neat, listening to a McCartney song with a George-like vocal.
I agree with Freudian: the lead guitar, although played wonderfully, sounds a little harsh at certain points. Perhaps adjust the EQ. Or retrack using a more friendly tone.
Also, I might suggest using a drum track that sounds a little less "drum machine." Although, yes, I realize that Jeff Lynne touched this song, and you have faithfully reproduced his type of drum sound. I just prefer something a little more "natural" sounding. It's just me.
Great job. Have you done any other McCartney tunes? Would love to hear some more stuff.

P.S. Shit, I can't get this tune out of my head. I hate that.
P.P.S. I really like the vocal sound. What's your recording chain?
