[lcfa1962]

The Internet Revolution will not be televised..... George and The Beatles Forever...

[lenzmann]

Thanks　ありがとう！（T T）

[sunriseRISE]

This is 1970--during the '' all things must pass'' sessions????

[lymesick]

Makes me miss him even more...

[fuqnig]

This was written for Ronnie Spector. Really wish she would've got this instead of "Try Some Buy Some"...

[SaltPower]

Fantastic ! I have always loved this song.Listening to this it's like being there.What a buzz and what a master.We love you George forever : )....YES YOU!

[88gretschman]

one usless brain

if you havnt got anything worthwile to say stay stum

[MsJune54]

LOVE hearing this raw version.....I will always miss George.....thanks for sharing

[stevenlhodges]

this is a rehersal tape thats all .dont shit your pants two useless legs try knowing what your talking about

[Lizardofoz66]

Looks like we need an "Anthology" for George, there must be a lot of stuff like this

[TwoUselessLegs]

Ugh! Poor George! He spent the whole of his life trying to prove he was an equal to John and Paul, and then...ironically, managed to prove just the opposite. That weak voice, almost effeminate, was never meant for solo singing. This song is embarrassing. Little wonder the Beatles (including George Martin) refused so much of his "music".

[jklinkhardt]

@TwoUselessLegs I hope you die soon

[TwoUselessLegs]

@jklinkhardt - Would next Wednesday be soon enough? I got things to do this weekend.

[TwoUselessLegs]

@james28if - Your hero...who professed that one should take care of the planet and our bodies...literally SMOKED HIMSELF TO DEATH. Now....THAT'S "embarrassing"!

[Jerry96587]

@TwoUselessLegs That's a pretty cruel thing to say. First of all just because he died of cancer doesn't mean he got it from smoking. I'm currently battling cancer and I don't smoke. Second at least he was giving off a positive message rather than negative.

[TwoUselessLegs]

@Jerry96587 - George died of complications from

throat cancer, "brought on by years of smoking"

according to his publicist. I'm troubled by this notion

that it's OK for a guy to preach the evils of "materialism"

while living in a 120-room mansion. He bulldozed

100s of environmentally sensitive trees building his

Hawaiian estate so there goes his environmental

message. His message might have been "positive"

but his action were not. Never mind his clunky music.

Sorry about your cancer.

[lcfa1962]

@TwoUselessLegs nâo julgueis para não serdes julgado

[dreamfable]

Leon Russell played throughout the sessions for 'All Things Must Pass,' and therefore if 'You' was tracked in that period, it stands to reason that Leon's piano is on this song. George Harrison knew how to credit personnel on his sessions. The 1975 sessions for the remainder of 'Extra Texture' (except for 'Tired of Midnight Blue') feature keyboards by David Foster and Gary Wright.

[bbroad]

I, oh I, Love this song! I Love George! He is the best. There is no one in music who has his feeling, timing, tempo, and love. I, oh I, love George.

[beatleswithwords]

Great share, thanks!  I love the chatter before songs.

[charlyW34]

The guitar tone, that indescribable twang, is divine, as are nearly all things George. All respect to traderfiles for posting.

[mashtones]

From the website George Harrison: Albums, Songs and Lyrics- drums:Jim Gordon/JimKeltner, bass:Carl Radle, Piano:Leon Russell. Electric Piano:Gary Wright, Organ & ARP Strings: David Foster, Sax:Jim Horn, Guitar & Vocals;George Harrison. (Only Harrison's vocal track was done in 1975.)

[subg88]

Leon Russell played on Extra Texture, but not this track as it was layed down prior to the ET sessions. Check out 'World of Stone' or 'Tired of Midnight Blue' if you want to hear Leon's piano on a Harrison track.

[mashtones]

@subg88 You are correct that Leon Russell is credited for playing on those songs from the Extra Texture album. It is a fact that 'You' was recorded prior to that during the All Things Must Pass recording sessions and was intended for Ronnie Spector. The bootleg CD The Making Of All Things Must Pass includes outtakes from that album including "You", it lists Leon Russell one of the keyboard players. As he is not credited on the album it is fair to guess based on style etc., he is on this track.

[mashtones]

@subg88 The piano player on World of stone is David Foster.

[DonaldHop]

My new favorite song!

[lyrandar01]

so much better without sax

[lenzmann]

♪ I lo~~~ve You~~~~

Thanks　（ToT)

[dowhatuwill]

Always loved this song.Amazing to hear this. Gave me chills. Thank you.

[jackdelawack]

thanks for the post.

[tatelabianca]

love the sort of Gary Lewis and the Playboys-ending. superb.

[mashtones]

@tatelabianca That is probably because the keyboard player is Leon Russell who arranged, played, and wrote for the Gary Lewis & The Playboys records. One of the bass players for the All Things Must Pass sessions was Carl Radle who was once a member of the Playboys

[tatelabianca]

@mashtones Thank you so much for that info! as obsessed as I am with all things George, I can't believe that I never knew Leon played on this track, or that he was even associated with the Playboys! I feel like an idiot, but I really appreciate your info! interesting how that GL and the P's sound naturally shines trough here!

[tatelabianca]

love the sort of Gary Lewis and the Playboys-ending. superb.

[tatelabianca]

vocals are fucking tremendous. great song, and this alternate take is inspired!

[Rawego]

great song but i can't help to think it was inspired while in a drunken stupor, it's so lyrically disconnected and muddled. cheers! :))

[Harrisonianne]

LOL PianO sounds amaZing! :O

Love George!

(K)

[gooshala]

The Band is great on this but the Beatles would have made it Number one.

[capitolemiproducer]

I like this mix without the ADT on the Fender Strat. This was originally recorded by Ronnie Spector but Phil was p/o'd about not getting invovled. George recorded over Ronnie's vocal. Too bad only a handful of people heard the real orignal version of this. One passed on, one in jail and the other is in seclusion

[darkhoarse820]

Can't say that I hear any ADT on the Strat. Double tracking...MAYBE. It just sounds echoed and reverbed to the hilt.

[jackdelawack]

@capitolemiproducer who is in seclusion?? Ronnie is out and about all the time......

[jimcoats1]

Someone really should release outtakes like this commercially by George. This is a fine song and a good comparison with the more polished original.

P.S. Extra Texture is an underrated album - check it out.

[JohnLennon100]

I love that song ...and actually in this take take, at the beginning George's voice is perfect!! ....brilliant ...the 4 Beatles were so talented that is was really miracleous that they lasted so many years in the same band ...

[MrOhnothimagain]

i heard this out of a radio station from Ann arbor MI. I ALWAYS LIKED IT.A GOOD George tune.

[camerawork3]

Thanks for posting this. I loved this song when It came out and don't understand why it was left off the "Let it Roll" CD

[JohnLennon100]

That song belongs to the "Extra Texture" album ...

[camerawork3]

"Let it Roll" is the greatest hits CD that came out recently. I felt there were some strange choices about what was put on and left off of it and one was the exclusion of "You".

[JohnLennon100]

Oh Ok ... supposedly greatest hits mean beoing on the charts for some time, or just making it to the charts ... I don't know how commercial was that song to left out of the greatest hits. The point is we love it .... also my fav album from George was that one, Extra Texture and also Made in England ...followed by cloud nine. I believe cloud 9 was equivalent to JL's double Fantasy ...was the peak of his solo career....

[camerawork3]

Those are all good choices. Speaking of greatest hits, I heard a while back that they were planning to put out a box set of George's music. Did that get dropped?

[JohnLennon100]

I don't know about that box, but it seems very probable given it was done with The Beatles, JL, now it's George's turn ...

[stendec21]

I agree, George's solo career was better than the other ones. BIG GEORGE!!!

[SemillaJoven]

Sure. Maybe not top of the charts mostly, but the first place in many souls and hearts.

[kmalobe1]

@stendec21 i dont think so .lol the 4 are geniuses but paul mccartney has always been the best and the genius :D

[jabbott514]

THIS IS GREAT! George was always under-appreciated with the Beatles, but his solo career was better than the others, in my opinion. Thanks for the post!

[peacelovebeatles124]

omgg i agree hes so amazing hes the most underated beatle

[joberstadt]

What a fantastic masterpiece-in-progress. Thanks so much for posting!

[berherbi]

perfect comment !!!!

[cutestrawberryflower]

love george !!!

[fonz1957]

Crazy version but i like it...

[harvard11]

Much better than the original! We are waiting for an Anthology album, not just merely a Greatest Hits one. All his songs are great anyway!

[raulamx]

thks for share this :D

[thestevo46]

got this 45 in 1976,think it was dark horse label,loved it since,best thing george did.

[record1207]

This is a great version! Better than the original. Thanx for sharing. Got anymore outakes from any of the fab 4 ?

[TGAHFAN]

Where can I find this?? first time I heard this I fell head over heals in love with George... I was 16 in 1987. I thought that he was HOT... I will always love him...

[kvmusic]

You is from the 1975 album extra texture.

[moonman190]

This is wonderful, even with his random mumbling and such =D

[threedognightrocks]

BEAUTIFUL

[modpsyche]

This is like Let It Be Naked. I love this! George ROCKS!

[AuroraSkye]

Oh this is wonderful!!!! I have never heard this version but I have always loved this song!!! I love alternate takes on things....and I love George and his singing.

:-)

[2black2no]

I am so horny right now!!!

wow the person below me is pretty dumb wK

[canopin]

Esta versión está bacanísima... Desde que escuché este tema me ha gustado. De una le saqué los acordes, es fácil.

[Pinillano74]

me los podrías enviar please? me gustaría tocarla con mi banda y soy el más limitado con la guitarra...

mil gracias hermano!

[ciano417]

.....wonderful recording....the best sound(whitout lirycs)of george single

[yassy2005]

i love this lively take, too

[garyco34]

this is a good sounding take, i like it.

[plyg]

This alternate take sounds pretty good.

[Detroit1967]

The recording sessions for "You" which appeared on "Extra Texture" took place in 1971if I'm not mistaken.

Lyrics were written with Pattie H. in mind.

Love his Scouse interjections - unfortunately the song was a tough critter for him to sing.

[jayfey77]

u are correct this is on a bootleg called songs for pattie i believe with other songs of all things must passed in early take form.he still didnt have all the words written yet for this song thats why it was left off of all things must pass.

[sksatnin]

Sounds great. George always put so much feeling into his singing.

[longingtobethere08]

Lovely
