Unreleased Beatles Track Appears on YouTube

An unreleased version of the Beatles Revolution 1 has appeared on YouTube, although there is no guarantees on how long it will stay there.

Labeled as Take 20, it is being speculated that this is the music that was between Revolution 1 and Revolution 9 on the group's White Album. While the track starts the same as the album version of Revolution 1, it is seven minutes longer and eventually degenerates into backward singing and talking and yelling from the band. In between is, as NME puts it, "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."

This amazing 11-minute version of Revolution has surfaced in the last few days. It's truly astounding and bridges the gap between Revolution #1 and #9. I have posted it here, I have no idea if it will be staying, so listen today :O)
