I hardly ever hear Paul cursing. I think he makes it through the entire Anthology without one curse. But he's older now. What's that he says when they play the mess up from those sessions? Does he call someone a b****? Now I can't remember. It cracked me up though. Him cursing.

Well, to my ears it is quite clearly George Harrison who says "fucking hell". As to my ears it is John and Paul who both do the "agggghhhhhhhhhhs" in 'A Day In The Life". As to my ears the run out groove on 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' is saying "Never could be any other way".

aaggghh?

I have to listen again to the fucking hell. I can't remember who I thought it was. But it is so obviously Paul on A Day in the Life. I can see why people think it sounds like John, but once you know it's hard not to hear Paul. If you're really listening.

Cursing gets old when you hear it 24/7.

Quoted from Maccalvr

God, you're splitting hairs now. Phrase, expletive, whatever. Some people DO use certain expressions, curse words, whatever, with more frequency than others. It can become a habit. So if there's proof that this person uses that 'expletive' quite a often, then there's a basis for assuming it's him saying it in this case too.

I take your point.
And Lennon certainly did like swearing.
But it doesn't prove at all that it's him swearing here.

The only moment that comes to mind of hearing a Beatle swearing on a Beatle recording is when PAUL says "Oh,sh*t" on the bootlegged A Day In The Life middle section when he gets it wrong.(It  may even be on the Anthology CD, I don't remember).

That doesn't mean I think it's him here.I'll have another listen!

i think its john, it sounds like him, and yeah he liked swearing, especially around that sort of time (listen to the jann wellner (if thats whats he's called) interview for rolling stone in 1970 for proff, he sai's 'f***' about 6 times a minute), so i agree with juniors farm, and it is very uncharstiristic of paul to say something like that.

In mid 68 Lennon was still a Beatle.
In 1970 he was a solo artist bad mouthing everyone in sight.

Boy I hate percieved wisdom and sweeping generalisations.

Yeah.
I should have said bad mouthing everyone except Yoko.
