It's amazing how good John Lennon's voice is, even when singing casually, and how good their rhythm feel is. There's a lot of double vocals. Do you know where this was done, at someone's home, while in India, studio rehearsals?

from the youtube description:
"The precise date is unknown, but towards the end of May 1968 The Beatles met at Kinfauns, George Harrison's bungalow in Esher, Surrey. There they recorded demo versions of a number of songs written in India, 19 of which later appeared on the White Album. The 27 songs believed to have been taped at Kinfauns were recorded on Harrison's Ampex four-track reel-to-reel tape recorder. They were mostly grouped together by the composer of each song, although John Lennon's songs were more scattered across the day. It is possible that not all of the demos were recorded at Kinfauns, and it has been speculated that some were recorded alone by the songs' composers. Alternatively, previously-made recordings may have been brought to Harrison's house for overdubbing, but, again, this is far from clear."

Personally, I thought John had one of the best rock/pop voices, so unique and just so right.

Man, when you hear how rich and smooth his voice and McCartney's voice was, and so distinct, no wonder they became who they were, no one compared.

Speaking of Julia: At the beginning of Julia you can hear more reverb (or is it tape delay?) on John's voice and then some kind of adjustment that gives that vintage John vocal sound from these acoustic guitar songs on the White Album. Any idea what this sound effect is? ADT? An adjustment of tape delay with a reverb, or just tape delay? It is a perfect sound for his soft tenor voice. |

You guys love the Beatles, awesome how they have inspired you all in this journey we call music. That is a goal for me and my music / mixes to have that affect 😀

Is that Linda McCartney on the right of the picture? I don't think so. Maybe George's girlfriend, or wife? |

Even in a demo they knew (like Max Martin and pop producers today) that it lives and dies on that forward vocal. Everything else is part of a backing track. It illustrates how ingrained that sensibility is to writing popular music.
