Comes in around 3:10.
......Giles Martin said he came away impressed with the Beatles' abilities as a unit. Even when cracks were appearing in their personal relationships at the end, you could still hear the chemistry and quality in the music, he said.
Periodically, he would invite the two Beatles and two widows to hear what he had done.
"They didn't have any disagreements," he said. "They really didn't. Yoko was concerned about the quality of John's voice on 'Strawberry Fields Forever' because it was a demo. All they care about is whether it's good or bad."
During a playback of "Come Together," McCartney leaned over to Starr and said, "I remember that. We were really good on that day."
Starr said hearing the finished product was powerful for him and that "I even heard things I'd forgotten we'd recorded."

But looking at all these (mostly) positive reviews, I just might pick it up at the store!

To be fair, though, none of the songs had truly "major" tweaking done to them. They sound fuller and now I want more than ever for the catalogue to be remastered, but better sound and the fleeting string section switcheroos aren't anything to get too excited about. I feel like people who think this album is the second coming don't listen to any mash-ups, as a very general, imprecise "rule."
