A New Beatles Release

Apparently, not every sound ever made while the Beatles were in a recording studio has been anthologized, and there is still money to be made. But this one was released on the sly – that is, no one is making a buck on it. Not even Yoko. (Man is she pissed!)

It’s a different version of the original combined ideas for Revolution 1 and Revolution 9 that the boys put together. After they realized it had little market potential, they split it in two, embellishing the latter. It became two ideas, and sort of explains the origin of that long mysterious sound collage on the White Album, which I always thought of as Yoko’s attempt to make the band ordinary.
