John Lennon cited this as his most-hated Beatles song. I've always liked the chord progression, though.
 
This was really just an excuse to try out the OTS Rickenbacker 12-string library.
 
Other notes:
- the sax is not sampled (it's Zebra!)
- the choir is being treated with Noveltech's Vocal Enhancer for a breathy effect (thank you PA for the $19 XMas deal!)
- third verse is run through Meldaproduction's MVintageRotary effect
- organ, as usual, is VB3, but using MVintageRotary rather than its built-in Leslie sim and lightly treated by Valhalla UberMod
- vocals were not tracked in the booth with a condenser; instead I used an SM-58, and I sang it leaning back in my office chair with my feet up on the desk. It was meant to be a scratch track!
- yes, I am aware there are a couple weird artifacts, some clicks in the last few measures that I haven't tracked down yet...curiously, it's only in the MP3 version, not in the FLAC or WAV exports

Sounds great Dave! The Ricky is cool, but your vocals take the cake.  The organ is mighty fine. The arrangement is really nice.... really!
Always loved that one in particular off the White album.
 I picked up Noveltech's Vocal Enhancer a few deals back, too.

I like this Dave, I think it sounds great! I'm not familiar with this Beatles song, so it is all new to me hearing your vocals, you have a great sounding voice BTW, I wish I could sing that well. 
 
Enjoyed hearing this one!

Very Nice Bit!
 
You are good.
 
Not sure why John Lennon didn't like it, but he said a lot of things just to be contrary, in my opinion...ask him on another day and he might have liked it.

Yeah, I thought he went off the rails often with his ranting about his former mates and the music they did.
I still love hearing it. It was my college education, learning all their songs.

Sounds as brittle as broken glass, especially the vocals. I have a feeling the tracks were probably recorded pretty well, but the mix is all high end and a little bit of bass.
