Goodbye?

[perhaps]

Hello everyone. i recently downloaded a rough demo of the song "goodbye". As you know, Paul gave this song to mary hopkins. Has anyone else heard this? I think its a great song. Tell me your thoughts on it. Also, when was it written? 1969?

I think Paul's recording is almost better than Mary Hopkins original

[Jerry]

Paul's demo is absolutely better. You can hear the Mary Hopkin version on the current radio broadcast...

Hello Perhaps, graemlins/wave1.gif *

The bootleg I have with 'Goodbye' on it says that it was recorded at EMI studios in December 1968, which sounds about right.

You've tried once already in the And You Bird Can Sing forum.

Perhaps perhaps is ...

and this belongs in the Bootleg Forum.

The demo is great.

I like both versions. My friends and I performed this song many years ago at Beatlefest.

Susan or Harb, it does appear that this should be moved - will you please? Thanks!

I downloaded Paul's demo the other night and was quite surprised to find that someone had done the backing to it. I mean the harmonies, the bass and additional guitar. It sounded quite good actually. Then I downloaded the original demo and it was very good too.

There is just the one with Paul on guitar, which I agree is simply beatiful and the Hopkins version, which I don't play often.

Oh never mind, probably a fake version with someone adding the extra stuff.

[L'Angelo Misterioso]

Yeah, it was a fake that you run across sometimes. It sounded great though and made me wonder how it would have sounded like in Beatles' record.

i think this song is spectacular. a beautiful number that should be released on anthology. i hope everyone here manages to hear this song, because it truly is a treasure.
