The original demo has been 'public' for quite a few years and the vocals are identical I'd say (but much cleaner obviously) :Originally Posted by NinianOpinion1927

It does depend on what you mean by 'computer generated' though. My understanding is that the AI that Peter Jackson's team use (MAL) is trained to recognise one part of a recording (developed to enhance/isolate background sounds for the Get Back documentary but now used to isolate Lennon's vocals from the demo) and it then 'recreates' those. It might be getting philosophical but is a perfect recreated copy the same thing as the original? Either way there is a fair amount of digital trickery going on but probably no more than what has always happened in musical studios.
Going back to the demo I think it's a slight shame that they lost the middle 8 ('I don't want to lose you') but the vocal isn't great on the tape for that section and McCartney probably doesn't have the range nowadays.
