I don't mind the organ. But it gives the song an ice skating rink feel to it.
This is more like it...
The Beatles Mr. Moonlight StarClub 1962
But there's no MISTERRRRRRR MOONLIGHT to start it off.

But we do get to hear John say Hear I am on my nose, begging if you please...twice. ;D
When I was listening to Beatles for Sale earlier I decided to pretend I was listening to Mr. Moonlight for the first time, to see if I really liked it or it was just a habit. I do like it. I never thought maybe I shouldn't until I came here! LOL

"I'm a Loser" would definitely be in my top 10 list of absolute favorites. I love everything about it. Love the vocals, can identify so much with the lyrics. A great, great song.
In regard to Mr. Moonlight.......

Years ago I read an interview from George about this period where he said that they were always amazed at the guitar sounds they heard from the USA but they had no clue how to make them. George said he just started bending strings and changing time to imitate the sounds he heard. I think that's where he got this unique C/W twang we hear on this and a few others (Baby's in Black). Later they learned how to use pedals. Very innovative.

Huh. I had no idea they'd played this live. It doesn't strike me as one they would choose to perform. Goes to show how much I know. ;)
Anyway, I'm posting this now in case anyone needs a quick Beatles pick-me-up:
