George Harrison – harmony and background vocals; lead, acoustic and rhythm guitars; lead vocals on "I Need You" and "You Like Me Too Much"; guiro on "Tell Me What You See"
Ringo Starr – drums and miscellaneous percussion; claves on "Tell Me What You See"; lead vocals on "Act Naturally" & "If You've Got Trouble"

Additional personnel:

John Scott – tenor and alto flutes on "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"
Norman Smith – engineering and mixing

Note:

This new version continues the trend started with the AHDN/BFS remixes. It brings out the 'backbeat' more and makes the vocals a bit less prominent. Purists should stay away.

This fifth Beatles album -again- was a grandiose effort. Side 1 is pure pop perfection. Side 2 may be a bit less even, but it has one of the world's best known songs of the 21th century. Enjoy... once again.
