THE BEATLES Glass Onion (Bootleg Take); Hey Bulldog (Demo)

[MalfunctionsSuck]

@2:23, where did you find that picture?

[JasonTryp]

@MalfunctionsSuck I found it online. It's from an early to mid 1968 photo session. Weird, huh?

[ss180jay]

Is it the photo at 2:15 "The best way to go" M D C? (Mark David Chapman)

[Obeijin]

@ss180jay  No.

[olamf1977]

lol this is way trippy i love it!

[sjdrifter72]

One of the better outfakes out there. I really like it.

[Kuplungmaster]

Fake or not, it sounds great ... Thanks for posting

[keetongeer]

Thanks for posting this.

With Beatles in mind, I've posted the video, "40 years in 3 minutes", which is a music video containing the Beatles' rooftop performance, historical events over the last 40 years and 8mm film antics from the period, all cut tightly to GET BACK and GLASS ONION. Hope you enjoy!

[Beatlescanner]

It sounds like a fake, but like a good fake ;)

[dormanbenton]

I sure hope 'Glass Onion' bootleg is authentic because it certainly has an advantage on the original cut. Epic! Thanks for posting. Very VERY enjoyable to listen to.

[SajjMan]

this is very obviously completely fake. but it is Awesome!

[Ui2019]

I wish the released version was more lush n polished...

[el3dlu]

fake and gay

[el3dlu]

@el3dlu but i like the faster speed though

[shaitan9]

MD & C = Mark David Chapman. Trip. Wasn't that from the Magical Mystery Tour insert ?

[DeadliestMove01]

so trippeh !!!

[789TheBeatles]

The Glass Onion is actually a fake that was overdubbed with a mellotron by some bootlegger.

[McKottfars]

AFAIK this version is fake. The flanging was added by some unknown bootlegger in the 80s or so.

[taummj]

GREAT JOB

[thearachnid09]

Does anybody know the chord progression to this demo?

[thearachnid09]

@thearachnid09 the hey bulldog one

[orionmyers]

@thearachnid09 Bm-Em (opening) the "She can talk to me part" is a Bm with the fifth moving up chromaticly then the Em with the fifth moving up chromatically. It's the same thing over and over again.

[thearachnid09]

@orionmyers Thanks.

[chard6788]

2:23 is the foreshadow picture

[RaccoonHeadGraduates]

the guitar in the intro makes me question it's legitimacy. sounds like post 70's guitar distortion.

[OrpheusIsThe1]

@RaccoonHeadGraduates Maybe they put an effect on the intro when the other stuff was overdubbed in the 80s, this would bear out what you say about the sound of the distortion and also mean that the guitar is probably the original.

[pato0231]

thats pretty brilliant

[ABBEYROADSTUDIO9]

I think it's real it comes in the album we can work it out, and its names as Glass onion working version, it could be an alternate take hearing song like wild honey pie it could be possible

[georgelee43211]

the intro sounds very witchy.

[frankgallagher5]

ACID!!!ACID!!!REALLY GREAT!!!

[Vdubguy23]

i like the organ 

[1worriedman]

Is this from the "Love"? album?

[thearachnid09]

@1worriedman no.

[DrWizzyDoodle]

I'm guessing the image at 2:24 forshadows Lennon's death? I dunno..

[sllickster187]

@DrWizzyDoodle it is eerie for sure

[Burromovie]

@Thunderbolt505 ill check

[Burromovie]

@Thunderbolt505 also have windows 7. try going to effects

[Burromovie]

@Thunderbolt505 movie maker...

[Burromovie]

the version of hey bulldog here was part of a big confusion

the three remaining beatles uncovered this, and mistakenly thought it was another unreleased beatles song, so they planned to make a single.... but the fans smelled something fishy at the line "she can talk to me", when it was revealed to be... a demo of hey bulldog!

[tjsams18]

@Burromovie theres no way the beatles thought this was another song i mean damn if you looked at the demo and read interviews about hey bulldog it was one of the last songs ALL of the beatles had fun playing in the studio

[Burromovie]

@tjsams18 you are right you know.

it was REPORTS about that. newspapers thought the 3 remaining beatles had found an unreleased song, when in fact, paul george and ringo knew what they found.

sometimes the papers are wrong. they do it to excite beatles fans.

there were more songs after this that all beatles had fun with: octupus's garden was one

[theultimateducksfan]

2:22 the best way to go is my m&dc which is the initials to Mark David Chapman, John Lennon's assassin

[riverdale999]

Fake . . . or at least altered real version . . . but that intro to GO sounds VERY cool ! ! ! ! ! !

[TNTIV]

Trippyyy

[MrTriss83]

This was faked in the 80's. Its just the master sped up with some effects added. The bootlegger himself admitted it

[3replybiz]

I heard this version before the internet was really in use much, it's real. The phasing is tape created, not created by an effects pluggin. 

[1954telecaster]

so this really isnt a bootleg at all...?

[caesarcerf]

ridiculous. some kid just pouring phasing onto the studio version and speeding up by perhaps 7%. NO bootleg.

[beatlemaniac6270]

groooovy babayy :)

[marvy1118]

The pic at 2:22 is eerie.

[happening45]

I could listen to Beatles outtakes all day every day. Thanks you.

[richardsfinalfantasy]

@happening45 Me too!

[happening45]

Walrus and ME man.....

[mobleym007]

WOW! WHo cares honestly who likes the beatles and how old they are. Half these ppl are mad b/c they are old and didnt listen to the beatles in the midst of their greatness. I see the M&D C thing but I thought it was when all those ppl at 1;16 where in the background and there was no john!!! Then there was without Paul...

[coolmandato]

when john says : I told you about the walrus and mean man. witch song charackter is the mean man? mean mr. mustard? but it was after the white album.

[lankykid973]

@coolmandato "the walrus and me, man" as in the walrus and i, he means him and the walrus

[mobleym007]

I told u bout the walrus and me man? U know we are as close as can be? Well heres another clue for u all/ The Walrus was Paul... John is the Egg man and Paul is the Walrus. He is simply making fun of Paul, they were all close, you gotta understand, they didnt always not get along or argue, but the split and solo work that was done was inevitable!!!!

[BrendooGaia]

john was the best writer

[funnella]

your all talking complete and utter fucking shit especcially you qvrat123 what do you know fuck all how old are you ???23 4 how darte you say such things and you dalerharris you havnt got a fucking clue you waste of fucking space cunt have some respect for the best rock band ever there was !!!!!! and will never beaten!!!!

[lankykid973]

@funnella dude, theyre pointing out a fact, it does say "the best way to go is by M&D C" which happen to be the initials of MArk David Chapman, theyre not saying he was a good guy, and its got nothing to do with respect for John, why do you think theyre watching it, you pillock?

[BrawlDiscussion]

Even if the Glass Onion bootleg was fake, it still sounds pretty cool.

[QVrat123]

MDC= Mark David Chapman was John's assasin

"The best way to go is by M&D C" is at 2:18

[dalerharris]

At  2:16. It's plain as day. Read it .The best way to go is by MD&C.(Mark David Chapman) Get it ?

[allycat114]

2:23 john lennon's foreshadowing of his death

[szabadsag62]

2:15-2:20, bottom right corner. There's the foreshadowing.

[allycat114]

what is it showing? it's blurry.

[SykoKid75]

it says the best way to go and it was a funeral home modo in england

[yhshvh10]

2:23 great post!

[dunskie]

This is awesome.

5******

[ctelles123]

in 1:08 is a clue

[McCartnee]

Ii dig the phasing effect in Glass Onion. I don't care whether or not it's an authentic Beatles recording. It's neat to hear the different interpretations.

[abisail]

where you found this recording? in a flea market?...of course this is fake but the bulldog song is real...

[diddywahdaddy]

The Hey Bulldog demo appeared first on The Lost Lennon Tapes radio show years back, and have been available on bootleg after that (of course). But you already knew that by now...

[phillydisco]

The intro and outro parts sound fake.

[jayfey77]

the intor and outro dont sound 80s they sound 60s plus u can hear paul yelling in the beginning during the intro.

[phillydisco]

It's definitely not the Beatles doing the intro, outro and solo sections. You can fake how old it sounds, but its harder to fake the mixing of the instruments. The phasing effect (I think that's the actual name for the effect, as flanging has a 'wow' rather than woosh like phasing) was done by the faker to mask the very different mixes of the instruments. Plus, this version was never mentioned on the Lost Lennon Tapes, which was the source of most Boots that have come out in the last 2 decades

[FigmentsFan]

Exactly what I'm trying to get at. There's no proof that this is official, and it has been confirmed to be a fake. Why do people try and defend it?

[jayfey77]

there is plenty of proof,you said a keyboardist added to this song but the intro and outro are not keyboards plus u can hear pauls voice in the intro.

[jayfey77]

u can heat paul in the beginning of the intro i guess u dont have a good ear and couldnt hear that.and beatles did alot of phasing if u were a beatles expert you would know that.

[FigmentsFan]

It's easy to mask voices. I do that for a videogame called Project Kursed. All you need to do is put it through filters and you can sound like someone else.

And, also, have you ever heard of adding in sound effects? Programs and keyboards do sometimes come with preloaded things. The opening of "Bungalow Bill" (or closing of "Wild Honey Pie," depending on how you view it), is a pre-recorded flamenco guitar sample off a keyboard. That was the 1960s. Take that into consideration while defending.

[FigmentsFan]

The "Glass Onion" is in fact a fake. A bootlegger made that in the 1980s with a keyboard and the official take of "Glass Onion," and overdubbed his playing on top of the distorted official release.

[jayfey77]

the beginning of this song isnt keyboard so this proves ur wrong and that this is legit,also the ending of the song isnt keyboard either so there is more than keyboard added to this song so it had to come from somewhere and i think it came from the beatles,u can even hear the beatles at the very beginning of the song sounds like paul yelling in the background.

[FigmentsFan]

Did you take into consideration the extra keyboard solo? The people yelling at the beginning of the song is in fact The Beatles, but that was taken from another recording. The Beatles hardly ever flanged their recordings; the only flanging I ever had heard in their catalogue took place in "Blue Jay Way." If you ever even bothered to compare it to the official release, it's the exact same thing just flanged, even the flute part resembling "The Fool on the Hill."

[jayfey77]

the beginning was taken from another beatles song?i highly doubt it and if so which song and what about the ending of the song thats not keyboard either.,and u are wrong the beatles did lucy in the sky with diamonds this way too for the yellow submarine soundtrack in 68 when jeremy sang the beginning so that is proof there were doing this stuff in 68.

[colamoonpig]

Excellent version !

5/5

Hans :o)

[jayfey77]

this isnt 5/5 listen to my version it is far superior in sound.

[faydajova]

This is epic!!! Thanks for posting :)

[JasonTryp]

Your very welcome. I've been told recently though that the Glass Onion version presented here is a fake. I'm not too sure though. It sounds pretty authentic to me.

[TheCandleBurns]

yes, it sounds authentic, john is singing it, but it's a fake alternate take. as said in the other comment by figmentsfan, a bootlegger overdubbed just his keyboard playing over the original released take. if u listen to both, you will see what i mean. this version is overdubbed and sped up.

[TheCandleBurns]

[jayfey77]

well there is one problem with ur story first off there is more than keyboards added to this song listen to the very beginning of the song that isnt keyboard so if they guy you said played keyboard over this song where did the beginning come from and also the end of the song isnt keyboard either so this proves what ur saying is wrong and that this version is in fact real.

[TheCandleBurns]

....nice video, tho.

[jayfey77]

listen to my version its far superior sounding audio compared to this version.

[Beetles41]

@faydajova sorry its fake,somebody playing around with a 'phase shifter'

[mietta]

Nice,especially Hey Bulldog!Tnanks for posting
