Original credits:

John Lennon – lead, harmony and background vocals; rhythm and acoustic guitars; electric piano, organ on "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" & "I'm Down"; tambourine on "Tell Me What You See"; snare drum on "I Need You"
Paul McCartney – lead, harmony and background vocals; bass, acoustic and lead guitars; piano, electric piano
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:

George Martin – producer, piano on "You Like Me Too Much", String quartet on "Yesterday" arranged in association with McCartney
John Scott – tenor and alto flutes on "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"
Norman Smith – engineering and mixing
Robert Freeman – cover photograph

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.
