One of my favorite Beatles songs. I think Nowhere Man is my favorite. Paul is definitely one of my favorite Bass players along with "Geddy" Lee and Chris Squire and others.
 
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this!

Not to get off topic of your song but in response to your comment about timing, I still listen to my old recordings from the 70's and 80's where we didn't use computers and just played and recorded the way so many did for decades.  The feel is awesome.  I only had one MXR stereo compressor and a couple of spring reverb units I uses for stereo reverb.  When I import those mixes into a DAW, the levels are good and the EQ spectrum holds up.  
 
I love the fact that you are going for that live feel.  It's great and an important lesson to impart to the younger ones.  They should try not to rely too heavily on loops and VST effects and really concentrate on the source first.

It took a moment to get used to the panning before I realized what you were up to.  Great work, guys.

Ok, the Beatles are my favorite band...I was the weird kid in high school in late 80's that listened to Beatles and Metallica, pretty much every day.
 
You did a great effin job.  Your harmonized vocals sounded great.  Kind of lost me during the interlude, or whatever you'd call that part, something happened to the vocals there and the sharpness of the melody was obscured.
 
Loved how you panned the drum set to the left, true to Beatles mixing.  I thought they were mixed just a tad low, but hey, I'm splitting hairs here. 
 
Guitar playing and sound was totally great.  Sounded like you went back in time to get the sound.  Bass sounded good too. 
 
Nice job, sir.  I look forward to more Beatles covers from ya'.  Now I want to go back to my cover of Baba O'riley...I got the old music itch now...

Wow Warren, you and Michael knocked this one out of the park, great stuff!  I love that you did mix it like the original.  I will let a little secret out here....I've never been a big Beatles fan but I've always liked this tune.  Fact is I am starting to like them more these days.  Nice job on the vocals, you sound great!  Nice stuff guys.

Hello Warren and Michael ,  
you guys did a great job on Taxman ..
I happen to like that you guys went and accomplished the type of mix of the era ..
I'm a Beatles fan from way back when I was a kid and saw them on The Ed Sullivan Show and that's how I remember hearing them 
one thing I love about when Warren posts a song here in the songs forum ,  he always brings the fun and mojo to the table
