Lost
Beatles Song to Be Released
The three
remaining Beatles have announced plans to release a lost track that was
discovered among the studio recording for the Yellow Submarine sessions.
The song dates back to 1968 when the soundtrack was recorded in the Abbey
Road Studios in London.
Although
mums the word on the song title at this point, we do know that none other
than the late John Lennon will be the one on lead vocals. The song in question
spans about three minutes and will be released as a single this summer
along with a new "revised" version of the Yellow Submarine album
and new version of the animated film of the same title. This will be the
first studio album by the fab four to be remastered. The single as well
as the movie and soundtrack will be part of the "Beatlennium Project".
Expect a London tribute concert to coincide, as well as new "Yellow Submarine"
merchandise and toys.
Unlike
the the two new tracks from Anthology, where the remaining Beatles went
into the studio and recorded using old vocals tracks of Lennon, this song
is an authentic full recording from 1968. No new tracks will be laid down
for it, it will be released as is. "It's all from the Yellow Submarine
sessions. John is singing on it. It is not a 'Free as a Bird' job. It is
something that is already there. It's good stuff." states Beatles spokes
person Geoff Baker. "It's a real rocker," according to Mr. Baker.
Until
an announcement of the title is made their are bound to be wild speculations
concerning the song. Already Beatles fans online are excited while others
warn that the new song might just be a redone version of an old Rock n
Roll standard.
In
addition the London Sun Times reports that an unnamed source has stated
"This will be the last ever Beatles single - there's nothing else."
Even
as we head into the next century Beatlemania lives on.
