The Beatles: Maggie Mae Vs Glyn Johns Mix Vs Rehearsal/Fancy My Chances With You [Medley]

#vs #compare #versions

The Beatles' "Maggie Mae" is a 39-second, impromptu, traditional folk song snippet recorded during the Get Back/Let It Be sessions. While best known for its appearance on the 1970 Let It Be album produced by Phil Spector, a distinct 1969 "Glyn Johns Mix" with different mixing (louder vocals, thinner sound) exists. Other versions include early rehearsals, raw outtakes, and a version on the 50th-anniversary release.
Key Versions of "Maggie Mae"
1969 Glyn Johns Mix (Let It Be 2021 Super Deluxe): Mixed in May 1969 for the unreleased Get Back album. This version has been described as having louder vocals on top of a thinner instrumental track, with noticeable mic clipping from John Lennon.
Phil Spector Mix (1970 Let It Be Album): The official version released on the album. It is a 39-second snippet taken from the January 24, 1969, sessions.
Other Takes/Rehearsals: Various rehearsals exist within the Get Back session tapes, often featuring a more casual, "stoned" sound compared to the album versions.
Contextual Details
Recording: The song is a traditional Liverpool folk song about a prostitute.
Production: Glyn Johns produced several iterations of the Get Back album, with "Maggie Mae" appearing early in the sequence to highlight the "live" feel of the sessions.
Release Discrepancies: The 2021 Let It Be Super Deluxe edition featured the 1969 Glyn Johns Mix, though some variations in the mix (specifically regarding tape hiss and editing) occurred between the Japanese release and the "rest of the world" release.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Fancy My Chances With You" (sometimes spelled "Fancy Me Chances") is an early Lennon–McCartney composition dating back to late 1958. While it was never formally recorded for a studio album during the band's active years, it is well-known to fans through rehearsal tapes and later official releases.
Key Facts
Origins: The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney when they were teenagers. An early amateur recording was made at McCartney’s home in November 1958, though that tape is considered lost.
The "Get Back" Sessions: The Beatles revisited the song during an impromptu, playful rehearsal on January 24, 1969, at Apple Studios. This version features Lennon and McCartney singing in exaggerated "Scouse" (Liverpool) accents.
Official Releases:
2003: A fragment of the 1969 rehearsal was first officially released on the Fly on the Wall bonus disc included with the Let It Be... Naked album.
2021: A longer mono version, paired as a medley with the traditional folk song "Maggie Mae," was released on the Let It Be Super Deluxe edition.
Style: The song is a short, rhythmic ditty that reflects the band's skiffle and early rock-and-roll influences.
