My Beat 'group arrangement' and recording of another 'lost' Beatles song. This is a song that was 'given' to Peter & Gordon to sing. I'm not sure if The Beatles ever recorded it, apart from in demo form.

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
'I Don't Want To See You Again'...This is yet another great, but almost forgotten Lennon / Mc Cartney song that was given to someone else to record. In this case, it was Peter & Gordon. It was a hit for them in 1964... Not surprising given the quality of the song. In my opinion though, it really comes alive with a 'beat group' arrangement. I've no idea why The Beatles didn't keep it for themselves. I recorded this very quickly. I spent an evening trying out different drum beats, drum kits and tempos on my ancient but trusty Yamaha PSR-275 keyboard.I finally found one that works for this song. This bass part (played on my Rickenbacker 4003 bass) was especially fun to work on and play. Lots of nice melodic runs. On this recording I've gone back to an old favourite guitar...my Yamaha MSG Deluxe in favour of the Yamaha Pacifica 303 that I used on most of my other Beatles covers. The vocals were recorded on the 2 built-in condencer microphones on the Zoom R-24 recorder. All the recorded tracks were transferred to Adobe Audition (1.5) for mixing and mastering.

Brilliant job David, the vocals are excellent!! You've definitely captured that Beatles/Brit Pop sound. First class guitar work and production.

You've captured the jangly feel of an original fav four tune. Nice one again Ser Snagg.

This song I know! You are doing an excellent cover. Your guitar tone is great for these songs. What setting on your pod? Your vocals are working quite well you have the early Brit pop sound. Very good. And your level of output is somewhat amazing to me. Good work !
