The Beatles - Glass Onion (Rare unedited early take, haven't seen it on the internet yet)

Look guys - I found this on an old bootleg and uploaded here. IT'S PROBABLY AN OUTFAKE, I'm not sure about it. I think it's pretty cool, fake or not.

THIS TRACK DOES NOT BELONG TO ME. IT BELONGS TO THE BEATLES WHO RECORDED IT AND TO THE COMPANY THAT RELEASED THAT BOOTLEG.
I JUST UPLOADED IT TO HERE.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

Sorry, White Album**

1:27, wow really tasteless

[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.
