(from Unseen Archives) John Looks Like He's Sneezing, George Is Off To His First Day Of School, And Paul's

The fans call Paul the handsome one, and he knows it. The others in the group call Paul "The Star." He does most of the singing and most of the wiggling, trying to swing his hips after the fashion of Elvis Presley, one of his boyhood idols. In the British equivalent of high school, Paul was mostly in the upper ranks scholastically, unlike the other Beatles. "He was like, you know, a goody-goody in school," remembers one of Paul's boyhood friends. He also, as another former classmate remembers him, was a "tubby little kid" who avoided girlish rejections by avoiding girls. ... Paul, who plays bass guitar, wears the same tight pants that are part of the uniform of the Beatles, although he often distinguishes himself by a vest. "Paul," says one member of the troupe, "is the only one of the boys who's had it go to his head." Sometimes, talking with the other Beatles, he finds himself using accents much more high-toned than the working-class slang of Liverpool, where he grew up. When he does, John Lennon mockingly mimics him.

So I went ahead and cleaned up the audio for the Beatles 1960 demo I Don't Know (Johnny, Johnny). I know very little about audio mixing and all that, so it definitely isn't perfect, but in my opinion it's significantly more listenable and comprehensible than it was before.

congratulations on being the world's first john lennon girlie, liam
