    You can tell that the person that made this deeply understands not only george harrison but also the album this would have been put on and what inspired harrison. Anyone can take one of his outtakes and make a song but it takes someone that truly understands harrison to produce a song that sounds truly like a harrison song. I think this producer, George Harrison's son and Jeff Lynn are the only people alive in the world today that can accomplish that.

    Others have already said what's in my heart after hearing this, so I'll just sum it up: Absolutely Outstanding!! If you hadn't been completely forthright in your description, I'd have thought this was an actual Harrison studio recording. Love the production, love the arrangement, love the love that went into creating this!

    • @subg8858
      @subg8858 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      He had more than thirty years to finish this if he had wanted to. Why he didn’t is kind of baffling. George could have easily put out twice as much material than he did

    This is great and very George but wish you'd kept the little guitar break to the minor 7th in the demo. It adds a texture to the song and is actually the part of the song that sticks in my head the strongest - so I miss it when it's not there.

    Brilliant work Walrusz, if George Martin is the 5th Beatle, I thought of Jeff Lynne as potentially the 6th because he was so inspired by the Beatles & worked with George etc in producing them but now there is a 7th Beatle called Walrusz. Truly well done! Just 1 thing would you be able to added some further info on musicians involved & when?

    Thank you! Perhaps I will write something from the 'conspiracy theory' series, but with a + sign!!! I can't quite believe that this is a 1970 recording, just like the Fear of Flying track. They are more sonically comparable to Somwhere in England 1981 or later. I would classify A Beatles dilemma - Nowhere to Go or Dehra Dun as 1970. And producer Phil Spector would certainly find a place on All Things Must Pass! :))
