Comments on: Child Of Nature https://www.beatlesbible.com Not quite as popular as Jesus...

It was on so many bootlegs I was surprised it didn’t show up on Anthology. I don’t give a damn if it sounds like Jealous Guy – it’s still a good song and it should be properly remixed – along with all the other Esher demos. Do they think they’ll lose money if did? At least they could make them available for download.

Really like those! I often wonder how full on “Indian” they would have gone with this song had they developed it.

Lennon on tambourine, Ringo on the (casaba) shaker and drums.
Harrison might have played the mandolin-esque lead guitar lines.

That or John actually overdubbed that bit.

I imagine they never lived with the Beatles to know what happened. But some people really love to spread bad vibes around them. I don’t know why he gave up but for someone who wrote Sexy Sadie and after his problem with the Mararishi this seems to be the real reason. It makes sense. I love the way he played the guitar sounding like a mandolin. I never heard this sound in any other of their songs. Amazing.

It is very interesting hearing the original demo, but truth be told the lyrics are kinda crappy and cheesy by Lennon standards. I’m glad he re-wrote them as Jealous Guy.

I think this is more important than who played on the demo because the get back sessions recording was officially released. You could write
Esher:
Lennon…
Starr….
Get Back Sessions
……

And the unreleased is not really true is it because it is released on let it be naked and that’s an official album

Both versions are great. The song’s beauty and simplicity is shared by Paul’s equally glorious Mother Nature’s Son.

The episode was originally broadcast the week of February 29-March 6, 1988. It, along with the entire series, is available via podcast at http://littleabby.podomatic.com/.
