[theodgman]

whoevr put this toghtr is an asshole how dare u mk refrence tp mark david chapman..get real

[AmurPatel]

this the trash

[TDS4UT]

So they fake a version to get suckers like me to buy the album or CD. Rather sad.

[tricia7773]

nope.its paul

[caesarcerf]

no what it is is someone getting (in parts it plays) a single track vocal version of this song.

[Freethequeen1]

well, whatever this is, it sounds cool, it's the beatles ain't that enough ffs.

[chubwubster]

Sounds fake, especially the coughing

[Integrilux]

All the naysayers are idiots...it is obviously a legitimate outtake. Anthology is not the end all be all authority on outtakes...They just happen to be the one sanctioned by surviving Beatles and heirs.

It is actually not a fake.

[mozomozofy]

good bass

[avalanchesuperstar]

It's not a fake, it's actually a mix of the version that was on Anthology. The mix was by George Martin in 1968, at the request of John Lennon. However, it somehow turned up as a bootleg.

[minerovox1]

genuine! not a fake at all ! music is slown down a little ..

I like it

[WellSum1Had2Sayit]

You lost me with the Mark Chapman joke.. you fucking loser!

[casestudyification]

The Mark Chapman reference was tasteless.

[charlyW34]

Honestly, I find the fakery fixation among many youtube uploaders and home based "george martins" to be very depressing. There are so very many great REAL out takes and alternate mixes to share, I don't want to waste a second listening to fake takes and phony mixes. Everyone has a right to amuse themselves with pro tools etc, just PLEASE don't put them on youtube. Peace and love.

[Imachowderhead]

I believe its real, the beatles engineers especially geoff emrick took a lot of stuff home w him...

[Yohanan23]

1:27 just got a massive thumbs down.

[Ejayart]

I'd love to meet the guy that wrote the balloons!!,....."ass hole i will fuckin waste you !!!!

[reg5381]

then you wonder why nobody likes you. 

[theclandestinum]

The original track in stereo has this track at the left channel , its just the original one SLOWED DOWN, its exactly the same, try at home and you will find what i am saying to be true.

[OroborusFMA]

@theclandestinum I agree ... it's like what would happen if you put your finger on the turntable to slightly slow down an old LP.

[AtticusStount]

This is the "rock" Beatles at their best. A great song with tonnes of "Paul is Dead" references. Cheese and onion flavoured.

[Obeijin]

Thumbs down for the Mark Chapman remark. Are you effin crazy ?

[larryinc64]

I have a extended ver. of this, i might post it.

[DandamanV]

I have this song. In order to prove the integrity of this "bootleg" I put my version into Audacity and slowed it down 10%. It sounds exactly the same. This is fake and gay.

[kendaft]

i dont think its fake at all i think its real well good job on finding it oh and yah thats the first vertion/take i ever herd it from good job

[k0stil]

fake.

and a really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really bad one

[jedenzniewielu]

fake as hell, vocals are the same

[NyeTunes]

There's no way this could have been on an old bootleg record. The mix with the organ notes wasn't known about until 1996. Anthology 3 was the first appearance ANYWHERE.

[BeatlesNRutlesBootle]

@NyeTunes

Look - it was recorded in '68. There are a lot of bootlegs that were released before the Anthology and still included recordings and takes that ended up there.

I guess it is a fake, I'm not trying to argue with you guys. I just happened to find it and upload it. About the Vigotone thing - that's what my dad told me he remembers from the cover. It was like 30 years ago, there's a good chance that he just doesn't remember the name right.

[NyeTunes]

@BeatlesNRutlesBootle And I'm telling you that the organ/sound effect version wasn't released even known until Anthology 3.

That, and there's no Vigotone bootleg (or ANY bootleg, period) called "White Candies." Just quit while you're ahead...

[reverendflash]

@NyeTunes

By 'record', he might have meant 'album', as in a CD album. OR maybe this track actually did originate from before 1996. OR perhaps a homegrown bootleg outfit actually pressed it on vinyl AFTER 1996. By the way, there's a much cooler outfake of this song that has a full intro, a keyboard solo, and a different ending. My Beatles cover band actually modeled our version after that version 'cause we had believed it was an authentic Beatles version.

[dralenvan]

It sounds cool !

[TheJ05e]

Beautiful Notes

[BeatlesNRutlesBootle]

look, I know it could be fake, I really don't know. I found it on a bootleg and I just uploaded it because it sounded cool. if you don't like it, just don't comment. I have nothing to do with that.

[binkle1]

Ah, the days of bootlegs! Spoken of in not-so-hushed whispers. I know somebody who has TONS OF THEM, a friend of a relative. He's given my relative thousands of hours of sheer entertainment. Bottom line: most of this material is now available on-line.

[jayfey77]

anyone with half a brain knows this is from the beatles anthology 3 cd you just slowed it down it even has the same ending which you tried to fade out but we can still hear it saying its a goal.

[minerovox1]

this can't be a fake ....

it's a little stretched down

[chuckiejay]

It`s definitely a fake--not to mention the fact that the morbid joke about Mark Chapman was just dreadful!! Did this person really have that much time on their hands ???

[pedrinhodm]

fake. but i liked

[ant4love]

Even if it's fake, i still like the sound of it. :D

[jonmayo15]

1:27, wow really tasteless

[1954telecaster]

@jonmayo15 i thought so too

[roxtar55]

@jonmayo15 well, really funny actualy LMAO

[robertmastroianni]

@jonmayo15 I TOTALLY AGREE!

[postyesterdayman]

Not saying you faked it, trust me, Beatles fakes are nothing new.

[postyesterdayman]

fake

[gkdeppe]

Its slowed down to the point where it almost sounds like it has a Reggae vibe.

I like this take... but am delirious with the out-fakes on UTube.

[ravendofthemist]

look into a glass onion haunts me.

[elliottchrist]

Found Vigotone online - all I found though were that it made CDs dating as early as 1989; no word yet on vinyl, and didn't find the title "White Candles." But anyway, whether the uploader or the guys who made the bootleg did it, I'm thinking it's at least partially fake - the giveaway being that the count-in is in no way connected to the tempo or in-beat of the actual song. People don't just say "one two three four" at the beginnings of songs just to say "one two three four."

Maybe Feist does.

[majestikmoose9]

Not only is it a fake, it's a terrible attempt at a fake.

The intro sounds like it was pulled from three or four different sources, spliced together in a really sloppy way.

The "cough" was also edited in, and causes the entire song to skip more than a few beats. Sounds very obviously faked.

This version is simply the same version that showed up on the anthology slowed down, with a few other effects sloppily thrown into the mix. Any moderately knowledgeable Beatles fan could tell you that.

[Purushadasa]

@majestikmoose9 Yes, I think you're right -- about everything you posted. Well said.

[nomiclas]

@majestikmoose9 this is all so difficult,i'm just gonna listen to Justin Timberlake.i can't take anymore petty conflict!

[mythme]

hmm...possibly genuine, but I doubt it. The "ooh" at 0:04 sounds exactly like the one John does when he flubs the "Mr. Moonlight" intro (Anthology). The count-in also sounds familiar, and tacked on. It sounds like a rought monitor mix, while the rest of the song sounds clean. I'd like the know the name of the bootlegs before I make a final decision.

[BeatlesNRutlesBootle]

OK, I asked my father about it.

The label is "Vigotone" and the name of the bootleg is "White candles", and the sub-title says "rarities and outtakes from the Beatles' White Albums sessions!".

He bought it in a bootleg store in England back in the 70's.

[BeatlesNRutlesBootle]

Sorry, White Album**

[SecretTimeWarp]

@BeatlesNRutlesBootle There has never... EVER.... been a bootleg of that title. Goddamn it dude, just admit that you're lying, you've been called out by EVERYBODY. You're pathetic.

[NyeTunes]

@BeatlesNRutlesBootle Vigotone NEVER put out an album called "White Candles". Not only did you post a fake take, but you're a liar too.

[SecretTimeWarp]

@BeatlesNRutlesBootle That's completely impossible. The existence of this version (with the sliding organ notes) wasn't even known to the public until 1996.

[AAAmitD]

Cool! Where did you get that thing?

[BeatlesNRutlesBootle]

It's from an old bootleg, as I wrote.

I actually don't know its name because I don't have the cover, only the actual record.
