jaxson50 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 i know, I know....it's like I'm obsessed, sorry folks, but I stumbled across some YouTube videos I'm wondering if they are real or are they fake? first up, "When the remaining Beatles got back together to make the Anthology project following the death of John Lennon, they decided to take some of Lennon's demos to create new "Beatles" songs. Yoko Ono gave the three of them a tape that John had scribbled the words "For Paul" on. Two of these songs were turned into Beatles songs, Free As A Bird and Real Love. Now and Then was worked on briefly before being stopped, and Grow Old With Me was never worked on. These are the demos given to the remaining Beatles:" http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LlDTJsp_2_o Second question, is this a real or is this fake, could this be a good imitation of the Fab Four or is it authentic! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f-A9YXBWrog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Nice to hear the tape one. I remember Free As A Bird. I thought it was a great song. I hadnt heard the whole original before though. Not sure that there is a first question? But the 2nd one: I'd say fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little suspicious of the second one, there are some very good cover artist out there, but if it is a fake it's a darn good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 If it sounds good and you like it, who cares if it's "fake" or not? In other words, if you suddenly found out it was definitely real, would it suddenly sound better to you? If you found out for certain it was fake, would it suddenly sound worse? If so you aren't listening with your just your ears are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Davy Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Both genuine. The Acoustic Submarine was a bootleg recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The 4 songs were real Lennon demos although anyone who's into Lennon and a collector of bootlegs had heard the songs before. The first two were finished for the Anthology CDs. Now and Then has been taken by others musicians and overdubbed with what they guessed the final version might have sounded like but the living Beatles only spent a few days trying to clean up the tape before George had enough and went home. I have seen interviews with Paul stating someday He and Jeff Lynne were going to pop into the studio and finish it off. As years pass I doubt it's going to happen.

Which is one way to make sure it doesn't sound like the Beatles. I like Jeff Lynne but everything he touches comes out sounding like ELO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article on how bad the tapes were and how painstakingly time consuming it was to clean up and isolate every note. Nothing was in measure as John's pacing would slow and then speed up. whole lotta work before Paul and George could even begin to sing and play on it.

charlie brown Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 "The Beatles," were a perfect storm of the sum of their 4 parts! John, Paul, George, and Ringo still sound like themselves, but individually, they don't sound like "The Beatles!" Paul, and his excellent backing band, play his old Beatles songs every tour. They still don't sound like "The Beatles," and never will! I'm amazed, at how good some of the "Tribute" bands are, BUT...they lack that certain, and essential ingredient that was "The Beatles!" Hence, to me, the best of them are poor imitations, regardless of how well they imitate! But, that's just Me! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Fire extinguisher... Check Flame retardant clothes... Check Escape route planned... Check Right then.... Everything Beatles is fake. They were fake. They were a manufactured boy band. All the hype was fake. They used auto tune (vocoder) and were about the most fake people ever to have lived. Any beatles memorabilia which isn't "fake" is fake. Leg it, quick. Get outta here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
