Episode description

She's Leaving Home is one the few songs of the later Beatles albums where Lennon contributes to a McCartney song. Standing out by Mike Leander's string quartet arrangement, it maintains its unique posiotion in modern pop/rock.

Lewisohn mentions that 2 extra bars of cello (after each Bye-Bye)were edited out of the final release (on Sgt Pepper). This was done at the remix stage, indicating that the complete song (including vocals) was recorded including these cello parts.

Recently, the original 4-track recording surfaced, revealing the extra cello parts. Here's the world premiere of the Original She's Leaving Home:

New stero remix, now inclduing the original cello parts.
