The Beatles release previously unheard acoustic take of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps': Stream
The previously unheard version features Harrison on guitar and McCartney on harmonium, and is the first taste of the forthcoming reissue of the 'White Album'.
The Beatles celebrate the 50th anniversary of their iconic 'White Album' this year. In commemoration of the milestone, the surviving Beatles are releasing an expansive deluxe reissue box set. Due out November 9 via their own Apple Corps Ltd. and Capitol/UMe, it includes a ridiculous number of previously unreleased material, including 27 early demos and 50 session takes!
In anticipation of its official release, one of those compositions has been unveiled. The track is a stripped-back rendition of the chart-topping hit 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', originally recorded on July 25, 1968 and is simply titled 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Acoustic Version / Take 2)'.
