It was the follow up to the above album and was another fabulous collection of outtakes. Highlights for me were the Get Back sessions; Watching Rainbows, I Lost My Little Girl, No Pakistani's, Commonwealth, Old Brown Shoe and All Things Must Pass.

It was albums like these that kept me believing in bootlegs when being ripped off by cheap crappy copies of albums that suffered from cd rot. Thank goodness for the age of the internet.

That looks like quite a good bootleg collection. I had a similar one back in the early 90s, which is where I first heard songs like Not Guilty and Child Of Nature.

After a few alternate search phrases a complete beatles bootleg album came up on youtube, which was very surprising.

So here it is.

Its a cracking listen, even by todays standards, if you can find the time to listen to it online or some way of getting it off youtube.

I got it on cassette in a Scottish town called Stirling when i had no idea what a bootleg was, back in '95 or something, it was just a tape with some weird stuff (didnt help that it ...]]> Sat, 14 Apr 2012 02:43:57 +0100 Into the Sky with Diamonds on Looking for funny/interesting alternate takes... http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/looking-for-funnyinteresting-alternate-takes/page-2/#p51257 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/looking-for-funnyinteresting-alternate-takes/page-2/#p51257 Fabulous clip!!!!

Why is Phil Spector doing vocals????

Shouldn't he be with the engineer?

Its generally overlooked by bootleggers since its fake and created from the commercial version ie nothing new Beatle-wise.

(This isn't letting me quote for some reason?)
Has that Glass Onion take been included on any CD / compilation at all?

And quite possibly the greatest outfake ever made of a beatles track.

Does anyone have a link to one of the early versions of Something where George subsitutes words in as placeholders?

I think this is it but I don't think it's the full version

Also while we're talking about alternate takes, on anthology 1 you can hear Pete Best pete-best drumming on love me do. It's awful in my opinion.

Thanks!

Pretty mediocre drumming, I think anybody with a sense of rhythm could do that. Definitely not as good as Ringo.

Does anyone prefer the Anthology version of 'Can't Buy Me Love' or is it just me?

Yeah, me too! It sounds better, especially those backing vocals are cool.

I'd be surprised to find many people who would have said a-hard-days-night-john-6a-hard-days-night-paul-2& mainly a-hard-days-night-george-7 were wrong to get Ringo in.

 

There are more outtakes, demos etc in this thread, theres no need to post the same vids again.
