Several nice touches here; such as forming the refrain from the Lennon lyrics, the Billy Preston hook in the middle, and the lyrics, of course. Makes for a pleasurable listen !

Hmmm - no Billy Preston hook on there. During Queen's lead guitar, I did a loop of the IGAF guitar intro and took out Queen's rhythm guitar. There are a couple of snipets from other artists that I didn't mention, anyone catch those?

Hay everyone, some great stuff so far, keep up the good work.

Here is mine for this month
I've Got A Beatle

The basis of the track is a mix of different takes from the thirty days discs, then with lots of different Beatles stuff sprinkled on top, I’ll let you figure out which songs are hidden in there :lol:

This one flows very nicely. I like it mucho. The extra Beatles bits are a nice bonus too.

On various occasions, Macca said he woulds pretend to be someone else, to feed his inspiration for a new song. Suppose the Magical Mystery Tour, Sgt Pepper are examples of porjects, Ray Charles was also mentioned.

So who did he think about when writing I've Got A Feeling ? The song is very 'personal' for a Macca song, it's not a story about soemone of some place like many other Macca songs. And it has a continuous guttar riff....a name comes to mind ? For me, could very well be Lennon. Macca was sort of reachibg out (Hey Jude, Two of Us), so why not ?

Anyway, does fit reasonably well witrh Please Please Me, the first Lennon no 1.

Give it a spin at:

Ambitious... and very good in theory. But it doesn't quite work for me. I think the slowing down of the vocals presented too many digital artifacts and there a few places where they seam to be a bit out of tune. Your first attempt of I've Got A Feeling was far more enjoyable to my ears. Please take no offence. Keep up the good work, some of mine aren't what I had hoped they would be either.

I've always wondered how the Orbison inspired original version would have sounded. Maybe, when I have the time I'll do a cover like that.

Agree that this one may have been a bit too ambitious; the keys are (too) different to really make it a catchy tune.
Thought the vocals were surprisingly good, for a 1962ish recording, Ill try them on a slow version of PPM one day.
I rheard a slow cover version of PPM ws released last year, anyone hav that ?
And thanks for the expert comments, appreciated.

Well, I suppose that's it for the February Challenge. A nice collection of new remixes, varying in approach and atmosphere.

Thanks to all the conttributors !
