Her Majesty- The Beatles (Guitar Cover)

Описание: From my full Abbey Road Medley cover:
   • "The Long One" Abbey Road Medley- The Beat...  

Her Majesty was originally meant to be within the Abbey Road medley, right after Mean Mr. Mustard and before Polythene Pam. But it did not fit in a pleasing way, so they decided to remove the song from Abbey Road entirely

Tape operator John Kurlander was instructed to remove Her Majesty from the album, but policy at EMI stated that they should never destroy any recordings by the group. So he decided to place the short song at the very end of the album, after a long gap so that it would be understood that the song was separate from the rest of the album

When McCartney listened to the album mix, he loved the surprise effect after The End. And thus Her Majesty became one of the first examples of a hidden (or unlisted) song on an album. Another example of a happy accident in the Beatles studio world!

Because Mean Mr. Mustard and Polythene Pam became linked in the final medley, there was a final chord that was cut between the two. This ended up in front of Her Majesty

Additionally, the original medley sequencing had the final acoustic chord of Her Majesty cut out so that Polythene Pam would start on that chord. That's why on the final released Abbey Road, Her Majesty is cut before the final chord could ring out

For my cover, I included the Mean Mr. Mustard crash chord before Her Majesty. But I kept the final acoustic Her Majesty chord in so that you could hear how Paul finished the song

Paul recorded Her Majesty on July 2nd 1969, alone on his Martin D-28 acoustic guitar

Mean Mr. Mustard had John on his Epiphone Casino and George on his Fender Rosewood Telecaster. John was plugged into a Leslie speaker cabinet and George plugged into a Fender Twin Reverb amp
