Disc 2:
Come And Get It (takes 1-26),
No Escaping Your Love (takes 1-11)
"Revolution Take...Your Knickers Off!" on His Master's Choice was released recently and is the most interesting and significant Beatle release in a long time. The center of interest is the newly discovered pristine sounding "Revolution" which kicks off this collection of Beatles rarities. This is the original ten minute long take from which "Revolution #1" is taken from. The problem with the track as it appears in older collections is the inane stream-of-consciousness babbling of Yoko Ono and the fact that it is essentially an amateur recording of the playback in the studio.
What is new on HMC 06 is that now we have the entire track in crisp mono without Yoko ruining it. So what we have for the first four and a half minutes are the basic track; "Revolution #1" without the horns, piano and fuzzy guitars. And whereas the finished track fades out when Lennon begins to warp his alights, the song here continues for another seven minutes with same basic rhythm but various freak outs that would be utilized in "Revolution #9" including George and Paul adding their "mama/dada" vocal line. The tracks ends with Lennon giggling "let's hear it," and Yoko saying "too much" and George saying "it sounds great."
The rest of the collection contains more sessions and alternate mixes that have been out before but in significantly improved sound quality. "Revolution" (single version, no piano) is from the initial session that the recording heard on this disc complete with cut-in and no fade out. "Across The Universe" is an alternate mix of take eight which contains various overdubs, some backwards, that were not used in the released version, together with pre-song banter and a full ending. "Dear Prudence" is an alternate mono mix complete with a post-song comment from Lennon and other extraneous noises from the original master tape.
"Julia," instrumental takes one and two, are a collection of Lennon home recordings in much better sound quality than has ever appeared before. The ending of the first disc is the session where McCartney worked with Cilia Black on "Step Inside Love." Again, this tape has been issued before but this is in superior sound quality. The second disc contains sessions for "Come And Get It" and "No Escaping Your Love." It becomes slightly repetitive but again, like with everything in this collection are in much improved sound quality. With the gorgeous production and incredible sound quality this is easily the most significant Beatles release in years and is essential.
UNLIKE OTHER VERSIONS OF THIS NEWLY-RELEASED SET,
THIS HAS THE SPEED-CORRECTED VERSION (10:47)
OF THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED TAKE 20 OF REVOLUTION #1.
This is presumably the rough mono mix of Take 20 (4 June, '68) that John took home with him (as described by Lewisohn). Consequently, it features the various overdubs, tape loops and general chaos that ultimately turned the last half of "Revolution 1" into "Revolution 9."
