Notes


Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever (Whisper Version)

Somwhere in the 70's or 80's I bought a German cassette release of the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour (Apple 1C 244-04-449). As an avid Beatle fan I used to play this often in my walkman and one day I noticed something odd during Strawberry Fields Forever.

About two minutes into the song, just before the swarmandal comes in for the second time, a whispering count-in is just about audible. I never heard this whispering in other releases of the song and I wonder if this is a known 'version' of the song.

I made a straight rip from the tape, no EQ-ing or anything else was done. The tape was played often so the sound quality isn't brilliant to say the least, it sounds a bit muffled. Having said that I'm curious to see what other Beatlefans here think of this.

If there's a member here who is able to improve the sound quality and reseed this track please feel free to so.

Have fun! BeatleV!
