This couldn’t have been remixed: there is no multitrack! As far as I’m aware, the recording we have is a microphone recording of the song made as it was broadcast, hence the quality (which, conversely for me, adds to it’s character.) However, its amazing how much those first few seconds do sound like a drum machine, which is probably down to a combination of EQ and the source quality.

No organ, just the low quality of the recording. On those early BBC recordings (pre-’64 anyway), the group played nothing but their normal instruments.

I think I hear an organ in the background of this song — anybody have information on who’s playing it?

“For reasons unknown, the song was remixed to create a new drums-only introduction which wasn’t present on the original tape.” Could you please cite your source?

I’ve always wondered about those drum sounds. They sound tremendously modern for a 1963 recording. Almost, electronic!

Great version this. Really exciting and i love any songs that had John doing lead vocal and Paul $ George singing backing. Good example of what the Beatles sounded like at the start. They are still really tight then aswell
