Title: Oh, I Need You
Post by: danielcelano on August 18, 2014, 01:58:48 AM
I heard that no one knows who sang a fake Beatles song "Oh, I Need You". I wonder if there's a link of the MP3 file?

Oh, I Need You


The Beatles "Oh I Need You" Abbey Road Outtake. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hBo62hZP8o#)

They say it's by a band called Mortimer that signed with Apple.  It sounds like an early Badfinger demo to me.

I couldn't find an mp3 file for this, Daniel.  The YouTube mp4 file can, however, be converted to mp3.

I'll show you guys the lyrics of the song.

I think I will love you more
With every day of my life
And I know that it's hard
But for sure, mmm
Oh, I need you
I've been this way so long
I know I could belong

I've seen all I want to see
Let me bow, I want you
The scene further than I've been, mmm
Oh, I need you
I've been this way so long
I know I could belong

Well guys, what do you think?

It appears on the bootleg Anthology Plus (disc 2). But it certainly isn't The Beatles. From what I've found on the internet, the general conclusion is that it's a group called Mortimer, but it seems no one really knows the answer.

Interesting, Daniel. It's a shame that the waters of Beatles lore get muddied by convincing looking YouTube videos but I guess this sort of thing has been going on for a long time. I'm glad you brought this up.
