pretty cool

[fearceol]

I think I prefer the original. Maybe it's etched so deeply in my mind. Maybe if I listened to this a few times it might grow on me. My first impression though is, dare I say it..... ???..... ok I will.... I think the bass lines are too busy

[KJung]

Fun! Interesting!

Well Indeed The song is better the original way but indeed if you are at a bar, couple of drinks, getting your groove on then the motown version is cool jaja but yes i prefer the beatles one, all we needed is barry white in there to and that would have been so damm funny..

From the info section of the Youtube vid:

"She's Leaving Home (McCartney/Lennon) remixed and rearranged by brazillian songwriter/producer Luciano Albo, using multitrack masters from Sgt Peppers and What's Going On (Marvin Gaye/Motown)"

So the dude who made the vid is one talented sound engineer.

That was really well done. I liked it a lot, but I am not overly familiar with the original.

That mix/arrangement is very cool.


Off-topic: I viewed other vids posted by that user, including this one. Is it just me, or does Tom Jones have freakishly giant hands? (Note at 0:42)

[warnergt]

Neat!

[emor]

Thanks, but no thanks.

[Lalo]

yes the dude that did that is good, i would mess around with other songs of other artists lol

[ryco]

Fun! Although I question a couple of chord choices, but sounds cool!

But yeah, the original is too deeply etched in my feeble brain box!

Paul was a huge Jamerson fan, 'tho he didn't know James by name. Too bad they never met - both beautiful bassists!

From the title of the thread I thought I was going to see some uber-rare footage of the Beatles dropping in during a session in Motown's snake-pit, wondered why I had never heard of it.

It's a cool exercise, but mixing the two tracks together really obscures the melody.

[addylewis]

I like it.

I'll be honest, I've never really gotten into the "whats going on" thing - I kinda get the impression if Jamerson could hear it he'd change it:

Random bloke or bird: "Hey check this remix out, cool eh?"
James: "Thats pretty good, but it should go like THIS" (gets bass out and starts playing)

[CrackerJackLee]

Pure FUN to listen to. (not to be taken seriously)
more of a Musicolological Mystery Tour.

[CrackerJackLee]

In the same vein...

Meh. The two flavors don't mix well for me.
