It's not a great song but I like it and it's not the worst song ever played by George.

LMAO, post of the month!!

I really like this track....it doesn't feel like anything else that George did, and it's a great tribute without feeling too mushy....classic, easily one of his top five tracks from the 80s.

Meh,the track's nothing special.
I'm keeping out of the argument though.

I think its nature is a little inappropriate for the moment.  i was expecting a somber ballad, but it's okay i guess.

And if thats not Macca playing bass I'll be damned!

Get prepared for the fires of hell! It's not Macca! As if George Harrison would have Macca playing bass on one of his solo songs! Sheesh - Paulie had his chance in the Beatles, and blew it. But George was nice enough to allow Paul a very buried backing vocal on this tribute.

Herbie Flowers plays bass on that track.

How do you know? Did you witness it?

I know it says that in the track info, but he thanks George Martin and Geoff Emerick for All Those Years Ago which leads me to think they may have been producer and engineer.

And I could smell a McCartney bassline, it's that distinctive.

I never was very wild about ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, though I don't hate it or anything. Something about the way George attempts to "rush" some of the lyrics into the tune...
"Now we're left cold and sad by.....  soomeonethedevil'sbestfriendsomeonewhooffendedall"... 

[Wonderwall]

 Paul,Linda, Denny Laine, and Ringo are on the track

Paul, Linda, and Denny provided backing vocals. Ringo added a drum track.

[Bruno]

from the music guide:

The bouncy "All Those Years Ago" is a definite gain, being the most heartfelt song on the record as well as a de facto Beatles reunion (Starr plays drums and Paul and Linda McCartney overdubbed backing vocals)

However, only Ringo is mentioned in the album credits

I'll answer you in this way:

No one has EVER suggested Paul plays bass on ATYA, except you the other day. It doesn't sound like Paul McCartney's playing to me.

Further, George Harrison thanks Martin and Emerick because they had been involved in the McCartneys & Denny Laine adding their backing vocals. Martin and Emerick certainly did NOT produce/engineer the song's main recording. The main recording was done at FPSHOT. The McCartneys/Laine vocals were added elsewhere.

Thanks for clearing that up for me George.

Everything I said is a matter of record.

That doesn't mean that the "record" can't be wrong, but you'll have to give good reasons if you're going against the flow.

hum i thought i posted here and said that song was dedicated to John...oh well ;-D
