"In the stereo version, the harmonica drops out briefly."

[edit]

The article currently states: "In the stereo version, the harmonica drops out briefly." I've seen this listed on other web sites and in books as a playing mistake, but please note that the drop-out (technically referred to as a "rest") is actually part of the harmonica melody and not a mistake. 69.86.132.210 03:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"please note that the drop-out (technically referred to as a "rest") is actually part of the harmonica melody and not a mistake." Agreed. 76.124.8.137 (talk) 04:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

March 8th, 1976?

[edit]

It states this is when the song was released (on the right). Termin8er850 01:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, see Yesterday_(song)#Release --samadam (talk) 17:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Something New

[edit]

Capitol Records released Something New a month later with songs from the UK version of A Hard Day's Night that were not used in the film. "If I Fell" was used in the film. It's also on "Something New". While the UK Album (mono) uses a different version "Something New" contains the film version (no overdub of McCartney's vocals).--188.97.118.52 (talk) 19:27, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Key of the harmonica

[edit]

What is the key of the harmonica John Lennon plays on this song? ICE77 (talk) 16:55, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assuming this is for research. The song is in the key of G and Lennon apparently used a Honer harmonica in the key of C. Patthedog (talk) 16:27, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, this is to actually play the song. I have a Hohmer harmonica in C and it seems John blows in not just one hole because unless I blow in at least two or three holes it does not sound quite the same. Still, unless he was bending or using some specific technique I cannot get the same effect, especially at the starting position with the lower notes. Where did you get that information?
