I just found this and it's too cool to pass up:

 

 

 

Unreleased Beatles material surfaces online

 

Fans are calling the find 'the holy grail'

 

A previously unreleased version of The Beatles' 'Revolution 1' has found its way online.

 

The recording, which is supposedly 'Take 20' of the song, is available to listen to via a YouTube link below.

 

'Take 20' of the song is notable, as it appears to bridge the gap between The Beatles' 'Revolution 1' and 'Revolution 9'.

 

The main difference in the 'new' version of 'Revolution 1' and the version of the same song that appeared on 'The Beatles' (commonly known as 'The White Album') is the track's length. The unreleased version is a full seven minutes longer than its released counterpart.

 

Lyrically and structure-wise, the song doesn't differ wildly from the released version, although the entire second half of the unreleased version is made up of tape loops, vocal effects and studio trickery - some of which appears to have been sampled by The Beatles for use on their sample-heavy 'Revolution 9' track, which also appears on 'The White Album'.

 

'Take 20' of the song begins with the band talking in the studio, where John Lennon is heard saying "Take your knickers off and let's go" in a high-pitched voice.

 

The band then begin playing the song.

 

Although 'Revolution 1 (Take 20)' soon mutates into five minutes of assorted backwards singing and screaming from the band, the drums, guitars and George Harrison's vocal of "Om-shooby-do-wop" still remain throughout.

 

Towards the ten-minute mark, the song breaks down into a barrage of speech and from John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

 

Blogs across the internet are hosting the song, with some fans hailing it as 'the holy grail' of unreleased material.

 

However, it is yet to be officially confirmed as being authentic.

"Rock Band: The Beatles" Gets a Release Date

 

Last year, we reported that Apple Corps Ltd., the Beatles' licensing company, was teaming up with "Rock Band" developers MTV Games and Harmonix to create a new video game based on the band's music. This marks the first time that the Beatles have licensed their music for an interactive game (as opposed to, I guess, a non-interactive game). And now that game has a release date: September 9. As in: 09-09-09. Numbers!

 

When Apple Corps first announced the game last year, a Billboard story about it said that the game "will not be part of the 'Rock Band' franchise, but will be based on the same platform." It turns out that's not actually true, unless the game's title is grossly misleading. In any case, the game will be called "Rock Band: The Beatles". There's also a website, but all that's on it right now is the release date, a photo of a recording studio or rehearsal space, and a string of corporate logos.

You'll also have the opportunity to purchase "a limited number of new hardware offerings modeled after instruments used by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr throughout their career," a press release says. So they're making tiny plastic versions of the Beatles' guitars and stuff.

The game's publicists aren't releasing any further information, so we'll have to wait to find out what songs they'll include and how, exactly, they'll organize them, in this "unprecedented, experiential progression through and celebration of the music and artistry of the Beatles."

I like The Beatles.:)

The Beatles are probably the best British band ever.

I haven't ever met anyone over the age of maybe thirteen who seriously dislikes them, except for a couple of headbangers who think they're too boring.

Abbey Road the best album

Imagine is still the best song ... the lyrics, so much today! John Lennon :cool:

I'm listening to the A Hard Day's Night album ATM, and loving it. The Beatles is the greatest band in the history of rock 'n roll.

Abbey Road the best album

Imagine is still the best song ... the lyrics, so much today! John Lennon :cool:

 

Imagine is not a beatles' song!

 

it's like when Frank Sinatra said that Something was the best Lennon/McCartney song ever! :lol:

Naaaaaaa... naa naa na na na.... na na na!

Naaaaaaa... naa naa na na na.... na na na!

 

...Hey Jude!

"Let it be" has been stuck in my head today!

Anyone else just sort of like the Lennon songs and not too too big on Paul songs?

lennon always was and always will be my favourite beatle but i think both they did write great songs. i love pauls song for john 'here today'...

John is my least favorite Beatle, but the best one when it comes to solo stuff

Mccartney's my fave. :wacky:

Mccartney's my fave. :wacky:
