Paul doing his Fats Domino/Lady Madonna voice (wow, Klaus got a lot of mileage out of meeting the Beatles in Hamburg nearly sixty years ago).

@1:09 - what's up with this? Also this @1:50. Will the video editor come forth and explain himself?

*[later:]* I found this on the Daily Beatle site:

"The song he recorded with Paul and Ringo for this project has an interesting story. It’s the old Fats Domino song “I’m In Love Again” (previously covered by Paul on the CHOBA B CCCP album). The reason for this choice was that this was the first ever song where Klaus tried his hand at playing the bass guitar. Klaus made his debut as a bass guitarist sitting next to the stage at the Top Ten Club in Hamburg, borrowing Stu Sutcliffe’s Höfner 333 while The Beatles performed the song. This new version was recorded at Paul’s studio in Sussex on June 19th 2008, with Paul handling all the other instruments: the piano, organ, harmonica, guitars etc, Klaus played on a Höfner 333 bass guitar. *Ringo’s drums were recorded in Los Angeles later.*"

So does that mean Paul recorded the drums, then sent the multi-track tapes to LA where they muted the drum track and re-recorded Ringo? And then the whole video is just lip-synch style? Most of the clips of Ringo look right so presumably they filmed him doing the overdubs? But the passage at 1:09 looks out of sync and the end part at 1:50 is totally a case of what you see is not what you hear. So my best guess for now is that all the audio but only some of the Ringo video is what he played in LA and the Paul on drums video was just added for laughs.

I stumbled on this as I was studying the Earl Palmer drum stem of the Fats version. That has some brilliant kick-snare interplay. It's also a very cool A/B of the vocals on this versus the earlier version from the one that Paul released as the B-side of "This One" and on the international release of the CHOBA album. On this one Paul sticks with his amazing Fats homage all the way through. On CHOBA he morphs into his own style at the end. That, the original, and this are among themselves a total treasure - each one fantastic for different reasons. *QUESTION:* Is it Paul on drums on the CHOBA/B-side of This One version??

Love this wow never heard this before 😘

Wow - great impression of Fats. Does anyone know when and where the Beatles covered this? It's listed in Lewisohn's Complete Beatles Chronicle is his incredibly useful list several hundred songs the young Beatles played live. But it's not listed in his first book "The Beatles Live", which attempts to list the year each song was played live.

Looks like Klaus is playing Stuart Sutcliffe's old bass?
