Deconstructing Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - The Beatles (Isolated Tracks)

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da is one of Paul's labor of love with nearly 42 hours put into it. Recorded during July 1968 it's a song that is jam packed with personality. From John and George's foot and hand comments to constant laughing throughout. It's a song that emanates joy.

The story goes that after recording the first version heard on Anthology 3 Paul returned to the studio with George and Ringo. Paul was having a hard time coming up with what he wanted, so John coming late came in, sat at the piano, and banged out the piano intro.
