Elaborate scam or genuine previously unreleased material?

Whatever our (or your) thoughts an unreleased version of The Beatles ‘Revolution 1′ has found its way online and we thought for those that haven’t seen or heard here you go, check out on our Beatles Pages as one of our early users has kindly added the clip to Get Your Ears Out via You Tube today…cool!

We love The Beatles at GYEO and have been pleasantly surprised that even in beta testing stage that The Beatles have appeared in our ‘Favourite Bands’ list. It might be a fluke but we’d love to see the digital masses tip their hat to the scouse masters and hope they maintain a Top 10 position in a year’s time from now…we’ll see.

GYEO don’t really feel obsessive about new music, retro music, genres, classification and all that stuff – that’s for other music sites and publications. No – we simply want to provide a place for people to collect and share music content. We’ll never compete with an NME or an MTV but we’re not really trying to either. We think there are probably more people out there that care about Beatles content in 2009 more than many of the ‘hip new bands’ that are around today put together!

We’re not knocking new music – FAR, FAR, FAR FROM IT! We positively embrace new music too and make our own. Time will tell how the balance between new music and music of yesteryear compare on GYEO – hmmm interesting times ahead we hope.

Anyway, back to The Beatles and their “new track” – no it’s not an Oasis cover…it’s a “real” recording and more or less like the released song which appears on The White Album. Yeah it’s another version of Revolution if you like. Those who have recorded songs and understand the process will no doubt be surprised to see some journalists/bloggers referring to this as a new song?! We’re sure this is one of the many versions that ended up being Revolution 1- the version on the White Album.

This ‘new version’ already known as ‘Take 20′ of the song (says it all really) begins with the band talking in the studio, with Lennon ordering Yoko (just a guess might be Paul, George or Ringo of course) to “Take your knickers off and let’s go” in a high-pitched voice. ..the band then begin playing the song – well they would wouldn’t they!

Goes quiet after the talking for a few seconds and then kicks in, very pleasant. Actual recording here.

Enjoy. GYEO.
