Comments on a Burned CD of Rarities

I got this disc of THE BEATLES DEMOS :@ from my history teacher (names excluded to protect the innocent) and will now review each track WITHOUT TRACK NAMES :@ Also, IN-DEPTH COMMENTS
Shame I had to turn scrobbling off.

01: a come together demo, better than the album version
was never big on the "official" come together, but this is really great
nice solo, sir lennon (or is it harrison playing I think it's lennon)
... ! that sounds like something i heard in rock band: the beatles (way to come full-circle)

02: all together now? i've always loved this song, though that commercial with the chick singing it pisses me off
getting rather hectic oh dear
nice demo, but VERY similar to sir original

03: this version of while my guitar gently weeps was used on love, albeit with an orchestral track
i've always preferred this version to the white album version
this seems a bit echo-y
"let's hear that back" was in rock band too

04: what is this
nice vocals, ringo
shame this won't scrobble

05: dear prudence, never was a fan
doesn't sound too different yet
nope not yet

06: i love oh! darling
not macca's best performance on this demo, but pretty nice to see how the song was progressing
... WHAT SERIOUSLY MACCA THAT WAS JUST BAD worst "diii-i-i-ied" ever

07: ... i know this song is it um
for you blue?
very similar to the original

08: strings wow
... you've got to hide your love away? wow didn't expect that
i've always loved help! for having the best opening trio ever
pretty standard demo fare

09: got to get you into my life?
nice harmonies guys
i need your love what
SOMEHOW SOME WAY

10: i feel fine
rock band ruined this song for me; hours wasted trying to get those gold stars for a 35-point achievement (it was worth over 100 ta!!!)
standard demo fare oh boy

11: let it be
standard demos oh b-... i am a repetitive human being

12: not guilty oh boy
it's a really nice song, but it's a shame that george didn't rerecord it for all things must pass
... apparently, it was on his self-titled solo album (learn something new every)

13: WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA
THIS IS BRILLIANT
I RENOUNCE MY RELIGION (AGAIN)
SORRY, EIFION'S COUSIN WHO PISSED ON KIDS ON THE PLAYGROUND

14: if you've got trouble, nice song
heard it before, but really like it
ROCK ON ANYBODY

15: hey bulldog
this is, um, the yellow submarine version exactly great song but
go macca go bark that shit

16: something
nice guitar tone
and the scratchy vocals wow

17: lovely rita
doesn't sound very different at all, the chords are just a bit harsher
making your woman pay the bill, best idea ever

18: there you are, eddie
wow just
wow

19: it's all too much
yellow submarine isn't exactly rare; i got it in the stereo masters boxset
can't wait for only a northern song

20: blackbird
the multitracking is really cool

21: norwegian wood
it is good, sir lennon
definitely good

22: um... this boy... no, yes it is
nice nasally tone, sir lennon

23: maggie mae
macca's voice wow
nice mumbling
best song so far?! yes

24: you know my name
never was a fan, like, at all
but it's been over a year since i've heard it
this is much better than i remember
i remember it being overly long and torturous
DENNIS
i was young and foolish
still rather foolish, but young is debatable
i'm the oldest i've ever been

time to turn scrobbling back on oh boy
