One of my fave all-time tunes. The vox has a more "Beach Boys" quality because of the lower level and mo' verb. Some of the vocals are sung a tad flat, and with no pump...kinda lazy. Paul's vocal was very perky. he was perkey. No wonder John grew to loathe him. The octave guitar is dry and way up front....needs to be pushed down a bit. Have you compared to the original? Would you care to?
I think Ringo's drums were a lot more prominant...along with pauls whoomping bass part. A mix issue. The parts are played as I remember them...just at different levels. Also missing is the patented George Martin 'swish' and sustain on the crashes. They were always huge. I wonder what cymbal that was, exactly...and how he recorded it. Never heard the likes of it anywhere else.
Funny..I heard this and some other Beatles playing on the house XM system while I set up for a gig last Friday. I listened with new ears, and imagined all the fixes the mixes would 'need' if they wre posted here for assessment. The bass was too loud. The pans were whack..... :^)
