lol! I just missed this song, so I thought I would play it from my own library - only to find its not there. Impossible - I have all beatles! So, it seems I forgot to load anthology 2 disc 2. I'll do that now.

This is a great version, better than what some call the 'original' off Let It Be - which was not at all the original!
The first-released version was on a benefit album for the World Wildlife Fund called No One's Gonna Change Our World, released in 1969, well before Let It Be and its over-orchestrated, heavenly-choired, Phil Spectorized (but still enticing) version. The real original has bird-chirping wildlife sound effects that add to its charm, though other versions have really cool backwards guitar and sitar effects, and the version on Let It Be... Naked is essentially a stripped-down and much better Let It Be version. I'd guess Lennon never felt completely satisfied with it.
A great song, in any form sung by John Lennon.  |

I definitely recommend it. I was scared--I love The Beatles so much, I was afraid I would hate the reimagining of their music. However, I found it to be very creative and enjoyable. |

I actually learned this song on the guitar before I ever heard the Beatles perform it (had the big "Complete" songbook). It was magical even in my inexpert hands.

Just rented it as a lark. It was much, much better than expected. Very enjoyable. |

Somehow this song has been gaining strength down the years. It is a brilliant example of simplicity and complexity in one piece. Shows Lennon for the genius that he was, an exception to the overuse of the word genius.

I like to hear the slightly different versions instead of the originals. |
