Yes It Is (Lennon/McCartney)
Quotes
“That’s me trying a rewrite of This Boy, but it didn’t work.” – John Lennon
“I was there writing it with John, but it was his inspiration that I helped him finish off. Yes It Is is a very fine song of John’s; a ballad, unusual for John. He wrote some beautiful ballads but I’m known generally as the balladeer.” – Paul McCartney
The Heineken remix
The 1986 promotional compilation Only The Beatles… — a cassette-only release by EMI and Heineken made without permission from Apple — featured a previously unreleased stereo mix of Yes It Is.
