An early take of The Beatles song “Oh! Darling,” along with a completely remixed version of the track: the two cuts appear on a 50th anniversary edition of the band’s penultimate studio album, Abbey Road.The released version of “Oh! Darling” is the band’s fourth take at recording the song, made at EMI Studios in the spring of 1969. Though Paul McCartney’s vocals and the performance are relatively loose, the framework and instrumentation for what would be the final version are all there.The remixed version of “Oh! Darling,” produced by Giles Martin, breathes a bit more life into the song, giving it a more modern feel. It sounds almost as though it were new track from a still-active band putting out music today, rather than something captured a half-century ago.Now, enjoy the remixed version, 50th Anniversary Abbey Road album, 2019. In the comments, take 4.
