the white album shouldve been a triple album, with this, all things must pass, child of nature, make love not war, and all those other songs that were pushed aside
This is another example of John and Paul overlooking George's songs. This, to me was the best song on Anthology 3. It blows the version George released in 1979 out of the water.
Tiene que haber sido horrible la relación de George con John y Paul para escribir esto. La letra es todo lo que le revolvía el estómago a Harrison de sus 2 amigos...y encima se la dejan afuera. Hubiera sido un clásico del White Album, qué desperdicio.
@mamaott no its george... george sounds like a nice mix of paul and john... smooth like paul, but can go high like john. took me years to figure out (without looking) who was singing what ;)
no doubt, a great injustice happened to George at that time - he already started to develop to a big songwriter, but John and Paul were focused on their egos too much. It´s a pity that they did not put his songs at least as non-album singles (he had a number of songs from 1966 onwards, but didn´t even offer them to the band because he was afraid of being overlooked). At least he got a satisfaction later, when both John and Paul stated publicly, that they made a big mistake.
"NOT GUILTY", tema compuesto por George Harrison, debio estar incluido en el Album Blanco, pero lamentablemente fue desplazado por "REVOLUTION 9". Ahí si me parecio una pillada tanto de Paul como de John el no dar la oportunidad a George.
Musicalmente "NOT GUILTY" me parece y comparto con muchos compañero que era un buen tema que si merecia estar en el historico ALBUM BLANCO.
I heard that "Not Guilty" was suppose to be on The White Album, but "Revolution 9" was chosen instead. This is really upsetting because "Not Guilty" is obviously so much better than "Revolution 9"!!
My band Chandrama just posted a video on our channel, a cover of George's "It's All Too Much" with sitars and things on it, and sung in Nepali. The Beatle's organization was super easy to deal with on the licensing approval. We hope George would have approved. You can see it on our channel, and please do.
harrison is so underrated. mccartney's contributions on the white album were easily his worst efforts in the beatles. his ego was clearly too big to remove some of that garbage to make room for real gems like this one.
@haveatomato I wouldn't call McCartney's efforts the worst. However I agree with the rest of your opinion but I would also include Lennon's outrageous Revolution 9 and very weak Revolution 1. Why this crap and not Sour Milk Sea or Not Guilty? I don't know.
The odd thing is they really tried to get this song right as something like 100+ takes were made. Personally I would have removed WDWDIITR which has never appealed to me & it could have rocked up on Anthology later like Not Guilty. Still at least we did get an official release.
@twinflame93 Different people like different songs. Personally WDWIITR is one of my favorite songs on the album. But Not Guilty should also be on the album. It's better than 4 or 5 songs on the album and much better than the non-song Revolution 9.
Maybe they should've removed revolution 9, because it's not a song, it's a kind of experiment. They could've used that 8 minutes and include 2 or 3 other left songs.
@thegame3623 HAHA you're fucking stupid. the song isn't on the album, how could it be replaced, he was suggesting it should have been on the album at the expense of a lesser song and you, with your outstanding reading skills, picked out a few key words and decided your rebutle should be'' FUCK YOU!''

It's a good song. But I'm glad they kept it off the White Album. Other than Rev. 9, the White Album, to me, is their perfect album. I always preferred it over Sgt. Pepper, though that's the one everyone says is the best. For me, it's the White Album. And I just can't imagine now, this or MaryJane or those other songs being on it. It's fun to listen to, but it doesn't stand up to their other stuff, or George's stuff on the White, for that matter. They knew what they were doing.
this could have simply taken the place of Wild Honey Pie. its amazing compared to alot of the songs on the white album. Bad decision not to include it
Kinda wish The White Album had been a triple album, so much material they demoed/partially recorded but didn't appear on it: Sour Milk Sea, Not Guilty, Circles, What's the New Mary Jane, Child of Nature, Junk, Goodbye, Step Inside Love (to say the least). I would have traded in Revolution 9 for anyone of these.
Great recording... love the guitars in this.... really a shame it was nixed from the White Album.. vastly superior to "Wild Honey Pie" and "Revolution 9" -- but then again, John and Paul must have known the song was about them...

We can go round and round about which song this might have replaced on a Beatles release. I'll I know is it was a crime for a track like this to get shelved.
This should have been included on White Album, there was a great injustice made on George, they should have omitted Wild Honey Pie and Revolution 9, and put in more his songs - Not Guilty, Circles, Sour milk sea and so on. I wonder why they did not use them later at Get Back...
I love George's voice in this one. Less... I don't know the word... nasaly (?) than usual - really smooth. Just brilliant lyrics and vocals. It's a shame it wasn't released.
LOL, I think it could be because the lyrics are aimed directly at John (the 'sikh' verse) & Paul ('upsetting the apple cart'.)
Also, at this time George's songs were constantly being shunted aside by both Paul & George Martin.
The guitar solo at the end is pretty wicked. I think this would have worked best on side three, placed after "Mother Nature's Son" & before "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me & My Monkey."
Of all the songs on the White Album, I've always felt that perhaps maybe Piggies should have been replaced with either this or Sour Milk Sea. But that's just my opinion
I disagree, 'Why Don't We Do It In The Road' fits nicely along with 'I Will' to just omit it from the album. Besides I was thinking more along the lines of replacing a George Harrison song with another Harrison composition.
I think "Why Don't We Do It In the Road" is one of the best tracks The Beatles ever recorded! I agree with Getback9691 that maybe Piggies shouldn't have been included on the album. It always freaked me out as a kid, and I still don't really listen to it.
I guess you're right. If an extra song would have fit on a record back then than they should have just added Not Guilty to the album with out taking off any songs that were already on The White Album. Not Guilty just like the rest of the songs on The White Album are good examples of why The Beatles were such a great band. I also like the song Piggies.
I love the Beatles, they are the best ever. However they rarely but sometimes made dross, most of it on the white album. It would have made a magnificent single disc album (as George Martin said).
It's a good album but I think it would have worked better being half the length. Things like Why Don't We Do It In the Road, Dear Prudence and Birthday really could have been left off.
I am sorry, but I disagree with you. Dear Prudence is like one of their finest songs on the album. Such a consideration also works for "Why Don't We Do It On The Road", which is one of those "beatlemaniac favourites". Hum, what can I really say about "Birthday"? I like it. I listen to it, at least, every October, 28th. But, there is no doubt that some George songs like "Not Guilty" and "Sour Milk" should have made it to the album. The album is too short for their prolificacy during those days.
@aneaaron no, that song is pretty bad but not nearly as bad as honey pie. and besides, I wouldn't criticize wild honey pie, because it wasn't a serious song. it was just an experiment, the only reason it was on the album is because patty liked it.
One of my favorite George tunes, loved it ever since i heard the bootleg in the early 1980s and was really happy that it finally saw the light of day on anthology!! 8)
Not guilty,was what O.J. was found,with Nicole and Ron in the ground. That's my personal lyric. When I first heard this after buying Anthology 3 on release day,October 29,1996,this song made me think of the O.J. Simpson verdict from 1995.
Do you know which Harisson's guitar is used on "Not Guilty " ? Thanks

I disagree, 'Why Don't We Do It In The Road' fits nicely along with 'I Will' to just omit it from the album. Besides I was thinking more along the lines of replacing a George Harrison song with another Harrison composition.

I think "Why Don't We Do It In the Road" is one of the best tracks The Beatles ever recorded! I agree with Getback9691 that maybe Piggies shouldn't have been included on the album. It always freaked me out as a kid, and I still don't really listen to it.

I guess you're right. If an extra song would have fit on a record back then than they should have just added Not Guilty to the album with out taking off any songs that were already on The White Album. Not Guilty just like the rest of the songs on The White Album are good examples of why The Beatles were such a great band. I also like the song Piggies.

@TheBeatlesLove1967: They should have just made the White album have another disc, or maybe just release another album.

Is this the earliest known recording featuring beatboxing? I know of none that preceded it.

this song should have been on the White Album. It's an amazing song, it would have been a fine addition

This is a fabulous song, as all of George Harrison's are. Wonder why it never made it to the White Album?

I love the Beatles, they are the best ever. However they rarely but sometimes made dross, most of it on the white album. It would have made a magnificent single disc album (as George Martin said).

His is great and SHOULD have made a Beatles album.
Much better than some of the crap on the White Album.
GravityBoy72 2 years ago
What! Nothing on the white album is crap! That album really shapes The Beatles. I think it's one of their best.

Revolution no 9 is garbage.
As is stuff like wild honey pie (and Honey Pie).
Not Guilty would have been great if they were bothered.

It's a good album but I think it would have worked better being half the length. Things like Why Don't We Do It In the Road, Dear Prudence and Birthday really could have been left off.

Dear Prudence? Thats one of the best songs on the album in my opinion. Great guitar.
RobFischPA 2 years ago 5
I am sorry, but I disagree with you. Dear Prudence is like one of their finest songs on the album. Such a consideration also works for "Why Don't We Do It On The Road", which is one of those "beatlemaniac favourites". Hum, what can I really say about "Birthday"? I like it. I listen to it, at least, every October, 28th. But, there is no doubt that some George songs like "Not Guilty" and "Sour Milk" should have made it to the album. The album is too short for their prolificacy during those days.

Dear Prudence and Birthday were brilliant songs.
I like Why Don't We Do It In the Road is okay, and I don't think that I'd really |miss| it if it was replaced by Not Guilty. :3

@ledZeppelin7680 you mean "wild honey pie"
aneaaron 11 months ago
@aneaaron no, that song is pretty bad but not nearly as bad as honey pie. and besides, I wouldn't criticize wild honey pie, because it wasn't a serious song. it was just an experiment, the only reason it was on the album is because patty liked it.
ledZeppelin7680 11 months ago
@GravityBoy72 Yeah I forgot to say that I agree that this song could still of been on the album, but i don't think they would need to take any off.
TheSonicLemonade 1 year ago
I love this version, mostly because it's got more of a sting than the solo version.
Might have to do something with being recorded during the heat of bitter times, I guess.

If you don't know know who he is, why are you listening to Anthology songs?
Which is by a band called The Beatles, if you've ever heard of them.

Not guilty,was what O.J. was found,with Nicole and Ron in the ground. That's my personal lyric. When I first heard this after buying Anthology 3 on release day,October 29,1996,this song made me think of the O.J. Simpson verdict from 1995.

Great song...Paul's bass is particularly great on this...he adds a lot of pop starting around 2:51.
