Abbey Road 50th CD3 Supplement
September 28, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 74.1 MBWe have all now bought the 50th Anniversary Abbey Road box, and explored the 3 CD's. CD's 2 and 3 contain the outtakes, and these are interesting. With a little critical look, the outtakes would have fitted on a singe CD, which makes the harvest of new outtakes for Abbey Road rather meagre. Therefore, we decided to produce more outtakes, by cleverly remixing the outtakes in the Abbey Road box. Here, we present the extra outtakes for CD3. By interlacing the Fourier transforms th...
Abbey Road at 50: additional outtakes of CD2
September 27, 2019 22:50 - 54 minutes - 62.1 MBWe have all now bought the 50th Anniversary Abbey Road box, and explored the 3 CD's. CD1 is Giles Martin's remix of the album; I suppose it is intended for the younger generation, and I'm perfectly happy with the 1969 mix...... CD's 2 and 3 contain the outtakes, and these are interesting, although quite a number of them were already available in good quality as bootlegs. Furthermore, the demo's for Goodbye and Come and Get It seem out of place, since these songs never appeared on a...
Ringo Sings Yellow Submarine in Pepperland
September 08, 2019 00:00 - 3 minutes - 4.2 MBHaving to fulfil a three-picture deal that John, Paul, George and Ringo had with United Artists, Brian Epstein had been looking for one last project to make the third film (after A Hard Day’s Night and Help!). The group had no interest in making another movie, however. They weren’t fans of films after making Help! Plus, they had started work on the White Album, which was taking up a lot of their attention. So, Epstein went to Al Brodax, a producer who had been involved with the a...
Unpublished Rehearsal of Revolution 1
August 12, 2019 00:00 - 3 minutes - 4.71 MBOn Thursday, 30 May 1968, George Martin and The Beatles started to work on their next album, following Sgt Pepper. As the session got underway on 30 May, Lennon debuted a new song that would come to be known as “Revolution 1”, a standout composition from the Esher demos. With Martin and a whole array of people up in the booth, The Beatles perfected a rhythm track in eighteen takes, including Lennon’s lead vocal, McCartney’s piano, Harrison’s acoustic guitar, and Starr’s drums. As the...
Goodbye in 2018
January 05, 2019 00:00 - 3 minutes - 4.37 MBIn 2018, we again had to say Goodnight to a few famous names in Beatles history. The best known casualty is Geoff Emerick, so we begin and end this 'in memoriam' mix with Geoff. Second to be heard is Tony Calder, the music manager who promoted the Beatles’ debut single Love Me Do, died on 2 January at the age of 74. The British record executive, producer and manager worked with acts including Marianne Faithfull, Black Sabbath and Fleetwood Mac.Calder was hired by Beatles manager Br...
Billy Preston & The Beatles
October 30, 2018 00:00 - 3 minutes - 4.98 MBKeyboard player Billy Preston is another excellent candidate to be called the Fifth Beatle. In April 1969 the Get Back single was credited to "The Beatles with Billy Preston", as was its b-side, Don’t Let Me Down. Along with Tony Sheridan, he was one of just two non-members to receive top billing on a Beatles single. On the Beatles albums ‘Let It Be’ and ‘Abbey Road’ we can listen to Preston’s keyboard playing. Here in the Cellar, for the first time ever, we have a recording of Pres...
I'll Still Love You.
October 14, 2018 00:00 - 2 minutes - 2.71 MBThis Harrison composition has a recording history that is far longer than the song itself....it was written during the All Things Must Pass period as "Whenever", after which it was copyrighted with the title "When Every Song Is Sung". Harrison originally intended the song for Shirley Bassey, who had a hit in the summer of 1970 with a cover version of "Something". Harrison recorded a demo of "When Every Song Is Sung" during the sessions for All Things Must Pass; some of the outtake...
The Beatles in Dutch
July 24, 2018 00:00 - 8 minutes - 7.88 MBThe BDJ engineers at North End Music Studios seized upon the opportunity to release a new Beatles EP, in Dutch. Two Ductch authors, Bindervoet and Henkes, have just pulished a book (Alle 214 Goed) in which they translate the complete Beatles oevre. Some of these songs were performed in a podcast (Fab4Cast 96) by famous singer/songwriter Yorick van Norden. He accompanied himself on guitar in the studio. We post-produced these tracks into full-blown tracks with proper arrangements. Lis...
Lennon's Third Eye: the Bart Huges Story
June 03, 2018 00:00 - 3 minutes - 2.75 MBBart Huges, a former medical student from the University of Amsterdam and the grandfather of modern trepanation, recounts meeting with John Lennon in the 60s. Huges, already having bored a hole into his own skull with a basic drill, was approached by Lennon who told of his desire to open up his own “third eye”. Huges advised that Lennon needed no such intervention. “Third eye people are your kind of people,” Huges told Lennon. Because of Lennon’s creative talents and the fact that a...
Mumbo Back
March 30, 2018 00:00 - 2 minutes - 3.07 MBA great fan of the Cellar, P.R. Lee alerted me to the similarities between two McCartney songs: Mumbo, and Get Back. In particular, some early versions of Get Back have a more improvised character, resembling the mumbo-jumbo of Mumbo. Mumbo was recorded on July 25th, 27th, 28th & August 1971, and appeared on Wild Life. The song is credited to Paul and Linda McCartney. McCartney appeared to have liked this nonsense song, since he played it live 10 times, a.o. in Amsterdam and Groninge...
Sympathy for Jude
March 18, 2018 00:00 - 3 minutes - 5.01 MBMuch has been said about the Rolling Stones vs. The Beatles. Which one was the better band, the most innovative, the loudest, the most anti-establishment? No need to enter hat discussion here. For a recent talk, listen to this podcast: http://beatlesfanclub.nl/fab4cast-90-the-stones-the-beatles/ (in Dutch). Although the Beatles launched the Stones’ career by giving them I Wanna Be Your Man (the Stones’ first hit single), they parted ways musically thereafter. The Beatles never cover...
Where did McCartney find "My Carnival"?
February 12, 2018 00:00 - 3 minutes - 4.63 MBI'm always thrilled when I discover where the Beatles found inspiration for their songs. And sometimes that inspiration bordered on infringing other's rights: examples are Harrison getting in trouble for My Sweet Lord vs. She So Fine, Lennon angering Chuck Berry's lawyers over Come Together, and McCartney....... It seems that I don't have an example of McCartney crossing the line when using other people's music; he had some trouble over the the phrase "Ob la di, ob la da", and financ...
The 5th drummer of the Beatles
January 09, 2018 00:00 - 2 minutes - 4.01 MBWho was the Fifth Beatle? There are a lot of candidates for this honorary title: some consider themselves the fifth Beatle, others could qualify through their merits for the Beatles. That's why we highlight a potential Fifth Beatle: Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. Purdie has clearly put his name forward with his bold statements: - "I overdubbed the drumming on 21 songs from the first three Beatle albums". - "There are four drummers on the Beatles records, but Ringo is not one of them" Pur...
Getting Better - Take 1
December 01, 2017 00:00 - 2 minutes - 3.57 MBHere's a different (new!) mix of Getting Better. This song was featured (of course) on Sgt Pepper, following Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds. Getting Better is mostly a Paul song, although Lennon contributed significantly to the lyrics and the vocals. On March 9, 1967, recording started at Abbey Road studios. They first recorded the 'rhythm' tracks, including drums, pianet (Wurlitzer?), rhythm guitar and - some - bass. The bass is only heard when the pianet is not playing, suggesting...
Bannink & The Beatles
October 24, 2017 00:00 - 3 minutes - 2.77 MBHarry Bannink (1929 – 1999) was a Dutch composer, arranger and pianist. he had an amazing output: he wrote over 3,000 songs! He wrote music for several Dutch musicals, Dutch TV-shows (including "Ja zuster, nee zuster"), and a weekly (!) children's TV show. If only the Beatles had written songs at the same rate as Bannink, then we would have another 30 Beatles albums.... In Lennon & McCartney's defense, we should mention that Bannink only wrote the music; he used a number of well k...
Across The Universe (Remake 2017)
October 12, 2017 00:00 - 3 minutes - 5.38 MBIt appears as if we hear more and more Beatles tracks when I go to see a movie. Just went to see/hear McCartney sing Maggie Mae in Pirates of the Caribbean. But while settling in for the movie in the theater, a trailer was shown for the new movie "Justice League Come Together": Come Together, covered by Gary Clark Jr and Junkie XL. And then a commercial was shown that featured a cover version of Across the Universe! As a true Beatles fan, I welcome every opportunity to hear their tr...
Freedom: Lennon Soundtrack
June 21, 2017 00:00 - 1 minute - 10.1 MB VideoThe film 'Freedom' is part of the exhibition of the art of Yoko Ono,"The sky is still blue, you know .... ", which opened in May this year. This exhibition is specially designed for the Tomie Ohtake Institute and consists of 65 pieces or "instructions" that ask the visitor to help make the art. In this way, the visitor is forced to think about the instructions, and the artwork suddenly becomes very unique and temporary. The exhibition gives a nice overview of Yoko Ono's work, from h...
Beatles vs the Analogues: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
June 13, 2017 20:31 - 4 minutes - 6.71 MBThe Analogues are a Dutch tribute act to the Beatles. Founded in 2014, the Analogues' ambition has been to perform The Beatles' music from their later studio years live, using analogue and period-correct instrumentation. How closely do the Analogues approach the original Beatles records in their performances? To find out, we have taken the 2017 (Giles Martin) remix of Sgt Pepper/With a Little Help and played it alongside a live recording of the Analogues. During the track, we alter...
6x Love Me Do
May 15, 2017 19:16 - 5 minutes - 8.1 MBLove Me Do is a strange little record. Of course, it was the first Beatles record in the UK, and the fab-four also recorded Love Me Do eight times for the BBC. More recently, Paul performed Love Me Do on Pinkpop 12-06-2016. But that's not the complete story: all in all, the Beatles recorded and released five versions of Love Me Do, and a 6th version remained unreleased. And four different drummers played on these records! Here we present a compilation of all six studio versions of L...
A Day In The Life; Stereo Remaster
April 14, 2017 13:44 - 5 minutes - 9.51 MBFor most fans, a Day in the Life is their favorite track on Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Some even consider it the Beatles best song. Considering its impact, the production on the stereo release on Sgt Pepper sounds rather understated; Lennon's voice floats around from left to right for no reason, and even the piano appears to move around the room.... Hence, the BDJ engineers decided to make a new Stereo remaster, based on the original tapes. Now, Lennon is firmly seated in...
Try Some Buy Some ft. Ronnie Spector
March 21, 2017 00:00 - 4 minutes - 5.71 MBHarrison wrote "Try Some Buy Some" in early 1971, in an attempt to relaunch the singing career of former Ronettes lead singer Ronnie Spector. Ronnie was married to Phil Spector at that time, who produced the record. The track featured star performers: Harrison played guitars, Gary Wright (Spooky Tooth) keyboards, Klaus Voormann (Manfred Mann) bass, John Barham string arrangement, Jim Gordon (Derek and the Dominos) on drums, Pete Ham (Badfinger) guitar. The song would be included on a...
BeatLess
February 16, 2017 00:00 - 5 minutes - 7.76 MB2016 has been a prolific year for celebrity deaths. A fair number of the celebrities who passed away in 2016 were - somehow - connected to te Beatles. In this track, we remember the 2016's famous losses, in a touching tribute to their talent, inspired by one of The Beatles finest songs, In My Life. The Beatles celebrities in this mix are: - David Bowie (“Fame” with Lennon) - Glen Frey (Eagles, became musician after attending a Beatles concert) - Paul Kantner (Jefferson Airplane, ...
Hey Jude, Isn't it a Pity?
February 13, 2017 00:00 - 5 minutes - 7.93 MBThere are a number of similarities between Harrison's song (form his first solo LP) and McCartney's Hey Jude. They last (almost) as long, and most of the song consists of the outtro (a hallmark of later Beatles tracks). But would they mash well? That's what Paul-René Lee asked me to try. Here it is, judge for yourself!
BDJ's 2016 Christmas Remix
December 11, 2016 10:01 - 3 minutes - 5.48 MBIt has turned into a tradition, the BDJ Christmas remix; in the past 4 years, a Christmas special was posted here, often lasting for 30 mins or more. This year, the Cellar received numerous requests for remixes, as a follow up to the broadcast of remixes in the Fab4Cast 64 and 65. (listen at http://web.avrotros.nl/podpourri/luisteren/fab4cast.aspx) Some requests were for remixes with songs by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), others requested remixes using the Beatles Christmas r...
Manchester, November 20, 1963
December 10, 2016 00:00 - 23 minutes - 32.6 MBWent to see the film 'Eight Days A Week". A splendid time was guaranteed for all, and it was exciting to see the Beatles live on stage. I found it disappointing that of the live performances are interrupted by interviews; these add little to the story, but break the spell of watching the Beatles live. I noticed hardly any new material as such; virtually all was available on Anthology, or on bootlegs. I was struck, however, by the quality of the concert in Manchester, of November 20,...
Come Together: Stones vs. Beatles
October 08, 2016 00:00 - 4 minutes - 3.94 MBThe Rolling Stones closed out the opening night on October 7th of the all-star Desert Trip festival in Indio, California with a greatest-hits set that featured a few surprises, including the rock legends' first ever attempt covering the Beatles' "Come Together." The Stones faithfully ran through the Beatles song complete with an extended guitar solo courtesy of Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards and a mouth organ solo by Mick. How does it line up against the Abbey Road original? Judge...
Every Day (BDJ Singers cover)
October 11, 2015 00:00 - 3 minutes - 3.21 MB"Every Night" was written by Paul McCartney while he was on holiday in Greece, and first released on his McCartney album on April 17, 1970. Every Night is a long-time favourite Macca track of mine. Why? Just so, but the lyrics have a calming effect that resonates with me; I like to be home too. And the chords changes are great too. But overall, the appeal form me is how the lyrics and music are completely aligned; you could feel much of the emotion of the song from the music, even ...
Temporary Secretary (Live)
May 25, 2015 15:28 - 3 minutes - 3.09 MB"Temporary Secretary" is featured on the 1980 album McCartney II. It was released as a third single from the album only in a form of 12" single. McCartney claims that he viewed the song as an "experiment", somewhat influenced by Ian Dury. It indeed showcases Macca's 'avant-garde' strand and may be Pauls attempt to outdo the Who's 'Won't get fooled again' in its repetitive synthesizer riff. Macca played the song for the first time ever at the O2 Arena in London on May 23, 2015. This i...
Because (Instr.)
January 11, 2015 00:00 - 2 minutes - 3.8 MBBecause the A Capella Isolation of Because is well known (it appeared on Love), we complete the catalogue with the instrumental isolation. All you have to do, is go to your bathroom, and add a 4 part harmony to it. Stu Sutcliffe provided the cover painting.
Fear Of Flying ft. Charlie Dore
October 26, 2014 00:00 - 3 minutes - 6.34 MBA demo of the obscure Charlie Dore song "Fear of Flying" recorded one day in 1979/1980 when Dore visited Harrison's house was rediscovered by Olivia Harrison while searching through George's archives, a section of which was used on the Jools Holland show on BBC Radio 2. Olivia Harrison: "It's a demo, it's not embellished, it's just him, George, on an acoustic guitar. I don't know how he'd feel about it being played, but I think it's really sweet." Written by the lady herself, backe...
Country Dreamer (arr. BDJ)
January 06, 2014 00:00 - 2 minutes - 4.05 MB"Country Dreamer" is the B-side song to the single "Helen Wheels" released by Paul McCartney and Wings on 26 October 1973 in the UK and 12 November 1973 in the US. It is a pleasant acoustic song, it was not on an LP at the time. It has since been included as bonus track on the CD re-issue of Band On The Run, so that completists can easily find it these days. It was recorded in October 1972, and its country ambiance is similar to "Heart of the Country" from Paul McCartney's 1971 al...
Misery (BDJ Upgrade)
December 31, 2013 00:00 - 1 minute - 3.22 MB"Misery" was written for Helen Shapiro on 26 January 1963, and later completed at Paul McCartney's Forthlin Road home. This is the official version of things, but wouldn't it be problematic for Helen Shapiro to sing "I'm the kind of guy who never used to cry"? For this reason or another, Shapiro didn't use it and British singer and entertainer Kenny Lynch recorded it instead, thus becoming the first artist to cover a Lennon–McCartney composition. He had only a minor hit with it, ...
Do You Want To Know A Secret (BDJ Upgrade)
December 29, 2013 00:00 - 1 minute - 3.58 MBIn the United States, Do You Want To Know a Secret was the first top ten song to feature Harrison as a lead singer, reaching number 2 on the Billboard chart in 1964 as a single released by Vee-Jay, VJ 587. The Beatles' version was never released as a single in the UK, where a cover version by Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas hit number one in the NME chart. Lennon said he based the song on Wishing Well, from Walt Disney's 1937 animated feature film Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. I...
From Me to You (BDJ upgrade)
December 27, 2013 00:00 - 1 minute - 3.55 MB"From Me to You" was the first Beatles song to reach number one in Britain. "From Me to You" would be the first of eleven consecutive British number one singles by the Beatles. The recording of From Me to You took place on 5 March 1963 at Abbey Road Studios and on 11 April Parlophone released "From Me to You" in the UK as a single. The stereo version (recorded on two tracks) lacks the harmonica intro which was inserted into the mono version which was issued as a single, on the 1988...
Gospel of Judas Iscariot (BDJ remix)
December 23, 2013 00:00 - 11 minutes - 21.3 MBIt is time for the BDJ Christmas special. We continue the tradition of setting a gospel to (Beatles) music. In previous festive seasons we released musical version of the gospels of Matthew (http://bdj.podomatic.com/entry/2010-12-11T08_26_46-08_00), Luke (]http://bdj.podomatic.com/entry/2010-12-19T07_00_16-08_00), the infancy gospels of Thomas (http://bdj.podomatic.com/entry/2011-12-09T11_37_24-08_00) and Syriac (http://bdj.podomatic.com/entry/2012-12-11T15_00_00-08_00), and Morgan...
Macca vs Abba: "I Can bet in Bangkok"
October 18, 2013 21:37 - 2 minutes - 5.07 MBA nice quick mash-up of two percussion driven tracks. I Can Bet is form Macca's latest, "NEW", and One Night in Bangkok features in the musical Chess, of course.
I Can Bet (karaoke remix)
October 16, 2013 20:40 - 2 minutes - 5.13 MBFrom McCartney's latest album, "NEW", just out, this remix of I Can Bet. A throwaway album filler to my ears, but makes for a nice sing along.
Maxwell's Silver Hammer (Lennon Vocals)
June 29, 2013 21:15 - 3 minutes - 6.44 MBFriday 10 January 1969: The Beatles were at Twickenham Film Studios. After breaking for lunch, however, George Harrison walked out of the studio. The remaining three Beatles carried on rehearsing without Harrison. Lennon sang Maxwell's Silver Hammer in an exaggerated German accent. Here, we remixed this take with the backing of the Abbey Road version, recorded 6 months later. The song was written in October 1968, intended for the album The Beatles, but missed off due to time constra...
Commonwealth (BDJ Remix)
June 16, 2013 16:56 - 4 minutes - 9.81 MB"Commonwealth" was recorded January 9, 1969, at Twickenham Film Studios, London, England, during the "Get Back/Let It Be" rehearsals. The lyrics are improvised, as well as the instrumentation, with Paul McCartney ad-libbing on lead vocals, and John Lennon ad-libbing a backing vocal ("yes"). It was never officially released on either a solo Beatle album or as a cover version. The session was captured on film as well, showing how Lennon enjoyed himself, sitting on an amp with Yoko Ono...
Working Class Hero (Live 1972)
May 30, 2013 20:48 - 5 minutes - 9.6 MBWorking Class Hero" was released on John Lennon's first post-Beatles solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. He set the song to the same folk-blues acoustic guitar pattern Bob Dylan had used for his 1964 song "Ballad of Hollis Brown". of interest is the rhythm of the song; in typical Lennon fashion, the rhythm is quite complex, alternating between 12/8 and 7/8; just try 'counting' along..... John Lennon rehearsed this song with Elephant's Memory for the One to One concert at Madis...
While My Lucy Gently Weeps (Instrumental remix)
April 07, 2013 16:22 - 5 minutes - 9.2 MB"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was written by George Harrison, first recorded by the Beatles in 1968 for The White Album. The song features Harrison on his J-200 acoustic guitar (the one Dylan holds on the cover Nashville Skyline?) and - possibly his Fender Telecaster. Lead guitar is by Eric Clapton on his Gibson Les Paul, nick-named 'Lucy'. Harrsion acquired Lucy from Clapton in August 1968, so Clapton 'borrowed' his old guitar to record WMGGW in September. Lucy shipped from the G...
Beware of Darkness (Instrumental Remix
March 24, 2013 16:53 - 3 minutes - 7.16 MBBeware of Darkness was written by George Harrison and originally released on his 1970 solo album All Things Must Pass. The melody of "Beware of Darkness" is complex and original.The melody of the verses incorporates a pedal point on the key of G major and moves to G sharp minor, an unusal progression, very much the essence of "Harrisongs". The nearly chromatic melody of the verses contrasts with a more standard rock melody in the middle eight. Musicians on the song include Harris...
#9 Dream
February 23, 2013 21:26 - 4 minutes - 8.89 MB#9 Dream" was written by John Lennon and first issued on his 1974 album Walls and Bridges. It was released as the second single from that album months later. Lennon liked the string arrangement he wrote for Harry Nilsson's rendition of "Many Rivers to Cross" from the album Pussy Cats so much that he decided to incorporate it into the song. Here, we isolated the instrumental of the song, enhancing the string section. Sing along, y'all !
The Gospel of Morgan Freeman
January 12, 2013 19:35 - 3 minutes - 6.58 MBThere are numerous gospels, and only 4 have been included in the Bible. We have already set 2'Bible' gospels to music in The Cellar, and 2 ancient 'other' gospels. This is the most recent gospel, in fact it is only a few days old !
Syriac Infancy Gospel
December 11, 2012 23:00 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MBA great void in the early life of Jesus is filled up by The Syriac Infancy Gospel (also called Arabic Gospel of the Infancy of the Savior (AGIS)), dating from the 4-5th century. In none of the gospels in the New Testament is any mention made of the childhood of Jesus. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, more rapidly than satisfactorily, pass over the period intervening between His birth and ministry. The non-canonical Infancy Gospel of Thomas tells about the deeds of Jesu...
Hold Me Gangnam Style ft PSY
December 02, 2012 21:04 - 2 minutes - 5.11 MBWas PSY inspired by Hold Me Tight when he composed Gangnam Style ? Probably not, but it is not impossible........
It's So Hard ft King Curtis
November 28, 2012 21:46 - 2 minutes - 4.35 MB"It's So Hard" is still one of the tracks of Imagine from which just 1 alternate take exists : a take without the saxophone of King Curtis. Lennon and Curtis probably met around the Shea stadium concert, where Curtis was one of the warm-up acts, and Lennon called him in for this track. On Imagine, the saxophone is mostly buried in the mix. In the outtakes, we can hear King Curtis riffing away. Since it's a warmup, some King Curtis riffing are more "free stile", ad-lib than the offici...
Hail the Arab Spring
June 24, 2012 19:51 - 7 minutes - 9.66 MBOn June 24th 2012, Muhammad Mosry was elected president of Egypt. Earlier, on May 1st, Egyptian cleric Safwat Higazi introduced this Muslim Brotherhood Presidential Candidate to his followers. Before Mosry took the stage, Higazi outlined his polcies, which I translate here (repeat each sentence multiple times): "The dream of the Islamic Caliphate is being realised thanks to Mosry and his Muslim brothers. Our great dream, the United States of Arabia, will be restored, Allah willing....
The National Health Cow (BDJ Production)
May 26, 2012 22:00 - 1 minute - 2.66 MBThis is the latest - and probably last - installment of our effort to set Lennon's poetry to music. The National Health Cow is one of Lennon's best known poems, at least two recordings of him reading it survive. The NHC features in A Spaniard in the Works, a book from 1965 by John Lennon. The book consists of nonsensical stories and drawings similar to the style of his previous book, 1964's In His Own Write. The poem follows a pattern that is found in many of Lwennon poems; a creat...
Luck Of The Irish (BDJ Remix/Upgrade)
May 18, 2012 22:00 - 2 minutes - 3.58 MBThe Luck Of The Irish was inspired by a protest march in London that Lennon attended in August 1971. He began writing the song three months after. This remix is based on an acetate of an uknown take, recorded towards end 1971. Nice melody, but lyrics are way over the top.
