Across The Universe The Beatles (Rare Version)

[Jcm9991]

Yep, this version is best. 

[longlist45]

Love the bass on this version!

[alexwritestube]

Thank you Rizlatune for sharing this wonderful song. This evening, just a few days until Christmas and a new Year, 2012, I cruised around YTube checking out several versions of it by different musical artists, even one of NASA/JPL as the space agency dedicated a radio beam 431 light years away to Polaris of this Beatles' melody. Despite so many opinions by viewers, I enjoyed all versions. Lennon is widely respected. I'm grateful our human race is still guided mainly by love. Peace to all.

[TheSarna8]

CYNTHIA was beautiful woman and good mother for julian and also good woman , lennon treated her how garbage .

[TheSarna8]

fucked ugly ,ono ! i do not like her , and also i do not like her music , and hate her voice ,and art , i loveeeeeeeeeeeeee CYNTHIA !

[LennonsLady27]

Nothings gonna change my world, I think we all said that in our youth. I picture John soaring free and peaceful Across his unique and ideal Universe...all we have to do is reach across my friends...hands across the water!

[SteveIsMe1291]

I've come to just absolutely love their music. Each song has it's own message, it's on personae- just simply great music.

[theodoregrimes]

4 people have no soul, no heart, just a cold piece of flint rattling inside their ribcage

[indy66]

Boy that chinawoman is ugly...

[otto8855]

@indy66 --- buddy, that could well be true but for the chinese part! Yoko ono is japanese!

..... and please, don't say: same thing !!!

[afroman1ish]

@indy66 how fucking stupid are you

[indy66]

@afroman1ish

Dear Afroman, please put a week's pay for me ($5000) and shove it up your poor man's ass...

[kesahroksmysoks]

OMG I'M IN LLOVE WITH THIS VERISON OF THE SONG!?!?!?!?

[otto8855]

@kesahroksmysoks yeah ..... put your headphones on and listen to the bass !!!!

[xawkwardvinnyx]

Ironic how people can hate a woman that john just simply loved

[malleusss555]

love...this song should be broadcast from satellites across the universe as the finest example of a human song

[Taytyaaytyat]

why is the love album "very rare" ?

[AllyGazdacko]

Only thing that could make this video better if yoko was ELIMINATED. i hate her. but i love you so much john.

[rabbitcanfly]

@AllyGazdacko Yeah she looks freakin evil. Looks like one of those grey aliens. I wonder if she was an illuminati plant? They hated Lennon.

[bluewhitepete]

Like it ??? I LOVE IT !!!!!

[HeppinnMelrakki]

At times I remember sitting in my room and playing this song as a teen. Much easier times, a time when I was really discovering me identity and establishing new ideas into my psyche, experimenting with acid, religion, and puppy love. This melody will forever ring in my heart in reverence to a time past that I hold dear.....

[mrhempi1]

praise to the divine teacher..Jai guru deva om.....

Thank you for John Lennon

[MegaUfcman]

@mrhempi1 whos that? not john lennon but the guru



[123jsbach]

I love this song so much, but the words.......nothings going to change my world........your world can change in a split second; say you get hit by a ten ton truck as Morrissey suggests....but the orchestration- countermelodies dripping all over the place. Ahhhhh George Martain you genius amongst genius.

[iceseekers]

@123jsbach "Nothings gonna change my world"... It's not meant to be interpreted literally.. If you payed more attention to the all of the lyrics, instead of just the chorus, and researched John's influence for writing the song, this would be clear. His ambitions in life, his world, will not be changed and he will not be dragged down because of the daily challenges and struggles of life, whether it be verbal nagging or insults, or emotional conflicts with friends and peers.

[123jsbach]

@iceseekers I knew I was gonna get a lecture for that comment. Sometimes it is ok not to take life too seriously ;)

[AldoAgazzi]

3 people changed them world

[B00BScream]

Please, can you tell me where to download in FLAC this version? I need it!

[MasteredMitch]

And this, my friends, is the reason I bought myself a guitar. The Beatles for life. <3

[scott30771]

I used to listen to this when I was a lonely teenager wondering what the hell was going on.

[Joshua12345]

if this has been edited by someone outside Apple - great! I don't care who did the new backing, George M or Joe Schmoe, this is fabulous stuff.

[Jessev1968]

thanks for posting! this version is groovy! at first I was expecting it to just be the Anthology version because of the harp? in the background not a sitar, but this is wild! thanks again!

[mbunge]

Ironic that the video is all John and Yoko. George is the one who wrote and sang this song..

[crimsonlover818]

@mbunge George didn't write this or sing it. It was Lennon and McCartney

[capitolemiproducer]

Attention Folks: NOT AN ORIGINAL THIS IS POST BEATLES!!!!! FAKE

[DazeWasted09]

Why do i cry to this song.. i love u john, if it wasnt for u, i would of never done Acid or smoked pot.. And I Have Experienced many Beautiful Trips To this song and many Beatles Songs

[stormyuno1]

This version is way better then the album version!

[rodneyracoon]

This is better than the Spector produced version.

[lennon2starkey7]

how could someone shoot this man?

amazing song.

R.I.P John Winston Lennon<3

[MrKerves]

i agree with "the walrus9091",best song ever

[kesahroksmysoks]

Beautiful, I've never cried so hard at a song like this before

[birdhasflown1]

<3<3

[Carnicrush]

pure beauty. just pure beauty.

[iepurasdragalas22]

HEY,

you all out there across the universe:

thanks for coming along and hearing our songs.

[sicoticosandro]

NO NO NO... they totally screw up this song with that "obladi" kind of bass and that ordinary pseudo-latin percussion ... this song is meant to be played only with a guitar...maybe some indian kind of instrument... but the bass and the precussion.. disgusting.. john is suffering wherever he may be

[d4n13l1234]

Best version of this song that ive ever heard..

[TWYBORNS]

I agree with some of the other comments. This is not a "Rare"  version as such. But it is perhaps the MOST beautiful version I have heard. Why not say "remixed". It sounds like the best bits of all the arrangements have been compiled together. It could be a LOVE outtake?, But I won't get into that debate.....

[superbassomatic]

There are many different mixes of this song, so it's quite confusing. This sounds a lot like the Take 2 version on "Anthology", but with some (fan-contributed?) embellishments. John Lennon will be the first to admit that they never recorded a decent version of this song (a rare case where a Beatles song was better than the recording). I like this remix. Not really the original intent, but it works.

[TheWalrus9091]

Greatest song ever written.

[MasterBeyren]

This is in my opinion the most beautiful version of this song I have listened to, and any Beatles rarity hunter would know that there are more versions of this song than any other floating around. The video goes very well with the music as well. Quite cosmic and simplistic, and the multiple versions of varying origins only adds to the mystique of this amazing piece.

[muscles2feel]

SCAM!

This is evidently overdubbing based on the McCartney's re-worked Let It Be Naked album. This is not the Wildlife version which has birds at the start and end. This is not the Phil Spector version that ended up on the official Let It Be album - accused of being too syrupy.

This uploaded version has more additions than the Phil Spector version. This is not the Anthology 2 version - youtube.com/watch?v=hwl2KS_RiX­g. Why does the uploader try to promote it as a rare Beatles version?

[Carnicrush]

@muscles2feel he said it was from the love album. which we don't hear from that much.

[Iamstratoblaster]

Thanks, John, for everything...

[BryanArwing]

This huas the introductory tabla notes that were edited out...nice

[LODGE4444]

How can it be rare if it's on the LOVE album ?

[CriticalTman013]

@LODGE4444 it is not on the love album it is on the let it be naked album... but you are right it is not a rare version.

[nonta327]

思いっきりフェイク。聞く価値なし



[bigran2007]

Thanks for the up load. Rare version indeed.

[TheJarnit]

fantastic - love it ..

[SuperJk1985]

great version!!

[NSA666999]

[LCORRY214]

@NSA666999 u know ive never met some1 who talks more shit than you, you dont know fuck about the beatles and you clearly want to fuck bieber

[NSA666999]

@LCORRY214 Whay are you so mad at me corry?? you NEVER call me any more!!lets rub our hot dogs toghether like all times! Now cum on, lets kiss and make up!!!! call me.xxxxxoooooo Jason

[winniefrankwilliam1]

[rbcastillo]

Fake !!! Very lame bass part .

[56stargazer]

Excellent version. Just a beautiful song Frank

[musicfreak405]

This is the best version, ever!

[jg1988]

so do have a file or mp3 where i can download from?

[silkway]

ya, rare...

[YERBLUES87]

great job!!

[drumrz2]

beautiful version!

[danixab]

Most videos of this song sounds like transmitted from the Mars with 100Hz bandwith.

Its a shame to publish such very bad videos !

But this videos has the absolutely best sound quality.

[kikagil]

lol total fake xD

[alkbbo51090]

ive been trying to download this son but i can´t never find it cause i dont know how to search it... reaally like

[toptonychick]

Not a rare recording anymore. Shame that (in a way). However, that statement open too big a debate. Should people keep rarities to themselves or should the world be allowed to see/hear them.........

[springsteen96]

@toptonychick i think that true fans should be the ones that get lucky finding these rarities such as you,me and someof the others viewing this

[toptonychick]

@springsteen96 There are different sides to the story. I've uploaded rare stuff in the past. When I did there were probaby a few dozen people around the world that spat venom at what I'd done. And then there is the other side of the story.......

[hoki135]

hmm the real original version was written for the World Wild Life Fund & had a flock of birds fly off before the music started!

[Sixalienasa]

Who cares if its a fake or not. Is it good, is the question I ask myself.

I like the small additions, i think John would too.

[SHONA825]

this song was on an album called wildlife 1st...this is NOT that version...

yoko is on that one...it is the rare one

[rockerdude59]

capitolemi dude is correct. this is hot a mix done by anyone associated with apple,Spector,Martin, ect; Probably a Pro-tools job

[h666y]

</3

[90zosoman09]

This song is great, and it's some of John Lennons best writing skills at work R.I.P. John Lennon may you find your way back home.

[Corrol132]

man, you like Yoko!

[capitolemiproducer]

the truth. This the Let It Be NAked version tampered with by a non Beatles person. This is a TOTAL FAKE

[brofranomo]

"total fake?" get back on your meds, In you're case they bring you back to earth

[RuiGustavo]

Rare version is your ass.!!!

This version cotain in anthology, not rare!!!

[wonchutaimaishu]

I was actually reading about this earlier, there was a version that Phil Specter "remixed" to include backing chorus and strings. That is on the Let It Be album. This version is on the WWF tribute album, as someone previously mentioned.

[hopeurfree]

Whoever did the remix, I like it, they have talent.

[ReVox777]

sounds like somebody else did background arrangement. Somebody is messing up today ..

[MJL3764]

It's on the original Beatle Box (or Past masters vol 2).

[idle44]

This is the original version released in 1967 on an album to raise money for the WWF. It also included Bruce Forsythe 'when I see an elephant fly' and Cliff Richard's 'In the Country'.

I have a copy and it's not for sale!!!!!!!!

[xavierbaudet]

The Beatles started work on Across The Universe in feb 1968, the same day as Hey Bulldog and Lady Madonna. However, the version presented here is not an original '60s take .

[Bimkovitz]

Where exactly did this come from? Aside from the guitar and Lennon's voice, none of this really sounds like the work of the Beatles.

It doesn't really sound like the work of Phil either. The overdubs sound pretty modern to me, like it's some sort of remix.

[PC3900]

This has to be a modern remix/overdub of the Feb. 1968 recording - there is no document of this from the Beatles' 60s catalogue.

[darrin42]

I swear to God their is an Irish flag at 1:11.

[danMillstein]

Jai Guru Deva. Jai Guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

[07cramit]

He was referencing Dev

..sexy sadie is about MAhraishi

[javernot]

Does anyone else hear John singing "Nothing's gonna chain my world" on the second chorus, the one after he talks about his thoughts meandering like a restless wind inside a letter box? I swear I'm not hearing things, and it makes sense: Above all things, Lennon did not want anything to constrain him, physically or psychically.

[billmac2265]

This almost sounds like an earlier attempt by Phil Spector as you can clearly hear violins, using the same vocal as the Let it Be version, with extra bass, heavier drums and possibly metal drums?

[bigbrowneyes1963]

Simply beautiful.

[darrin42]

...This is the most common version of the song. It's on the Let it be Album.

[jkjkjij22]

this version has more base. and it also has metal drums...

the vocals are nearly identicle to the released version

[unionJackman1984]

lol a slow riff from ob la di nice mate i laughed :) its good all thats missing is the bongos

[AngelusofDeus]

what version is this, i thought i had the all

[greg0058]

This is the original version. The one on Let it be album was doctored by Phil Spector like The long and winding Road. He added the orchesttra and extra vocals on both songs much to Johns and Pauls dismay

Let it be was shelved by The Beatles for Abbey Road lp

But thanks to Phil Let it be album would never have been released.

[salz0723]

rizlatune,

Thank you for posting this rare video and sound. I can hear some extra key in the mix.

I also like the arrangement of your video.

New York City

D.J. Sal Z.

[frankty67]

Yeah,I hear xtra keys,and maybe pronounced bass and other stuff on this version.I dont think I ever heard this one but I think its the Let it Be album recordings 1969,(not the 1967 Wildlife version) mixed differently with added effects by Phil Spector. Regardless of what alot of people think ,I think Phil did a great job salvaging the 100s of hours of the Get Back Sessions to make a great coherent album ,Let it Be.

[javernot]

If you are a Phil Spector fan as I am, you can appreciate his production even when he goes overboard, as on this album. His treatment of Across the Universe really works, and his Long and Winding Road arrangement gives the nostalgic sheen appropriate to the final song from the greatest pop band in the world.

[TheOneBeatle]

javernot, man, i prefer thousand times what was the original versions. Phil Spector, ruined much of the songs, still i don't want to say that the remixed songs are bad. Are quite good, but i also thank Spector, for at least, hear this songs, unfortunately it wasn't the original mixes what we heard. But still Let It Be it's a good album, but i prefer what was Get Back.
