Update: New Beatles track comes from bootleg CD

The mysterious Revolution Take 20, the cross between The Beatles' Revolutions 1 and 9, comes from a bootleg CD called "Revolution Take... Your Knickers Off!" from Your Masters Voice. The song begins with someone saying "Revolution, take-- take your knickers off!" and goes on for more than ten minutes.

Though EMI has cleaned out YouTube, you can find a stereo version here.



(Revolution Take... Your Knickers Off is a 2-CD set. CD 1 is 61:56, two versions of Revolution, Across The Universe, three versions of Julia- including one instrumental,and 8 takes of Step Inside Love, one that includes"chat"; Disc 2 is 59:22, 21 versions of Come & Get It, 10 takes of "No Escaping Your Love". No Carnival of Light.)

EMI removes mysterious Beatles song from Web

Whether the 10-minute The Beatles Revolution Take 20 clip that appeared online was actually a lost take from the White Album sessions or the work of modern day mixmasher remains to be seen. But the song that suddenly showed up online was definitely performed by the Beatles and if only because of that, the YouTube version we posted this morning, along with other postings of the audio clip, have been removed, "no longer available due to a copyright claim by EMI Music."

We'll have to wait for the iTune download. Yeah, right.

Revolution Take 20?

Holy Grail or mixer's Shroud of Turin (as in "phony")? This is the allegedly new Beatles track that's popped up this week. Whether it's really the missing link between Revolution #1 and Revolution #9 will probably be determined by how long it takes for Apple Corps to remove it from the Internet. "Dada Mama?"

!UPDATE! You missed it!
