The Beatles Throwaways are the second best band ever after the Beatles.
So true!
Ha ha ! So true !
Why wasn't this track included on the Anthology release?!
Why is that, for 60 years now, every time I hear a "new" Beatles song, it is the greatest thing I've ever heard?
🎯🎯🎯
5 seconds in is a riff from Harper Valley P.T.A. !!
I've been a Beatles fan for 45 years and never heard this song until now. I can't stop listening to it.
me either
Me too. Weird hey?
It’s not a Beatles single, it’s a demo. They gave this song to Jackie Lomax who released it on Apple Records
@@aircap That would explain the "unfinished" sound of the track.
Just when you think you've Heard all their stuff
Another masterpiece from George!
Personally, I feel that most of George's songs were the best! RIP George & John. Rest in Paradise. Jaya Sri Krishna 🙏🏼 🌈 🕉
Right, let me explain. This is george's acoustic demo (voice) mixed into the music from Jackie's version, very cleverly done. The music did have Paul and Ringo on it, so if you listen to Jackie's released version, you will hear the same music and if you listen to the Esher sessions, you will hear George's vocal. :)
nice one charlie.
Also George Harrison plays the guitar solo @2:10 which also repeats towards the end of the song.
@@normaharrison6143 that was clapton
@@peanutswilbury1017 Eric was playing lead guitar through out the song. George took the guitar solo @2:10 and then George's solo repeats towards the end @3:16. Their guitar styles are very distinctive, it should be obvious when George kicks in @2:10. Listen to it. Think 'White Album' era of George's guitar style. Give it another listen.
@Freddy Records No, John Lennon didn't participate in the Jackie Lomax recordings. In fact John Lennon was absent in a lot of George Harrison songs as well. Look up Harrison's Beatle songs, you'll see. Sometimes all John did was back-up vocals, if that.
What fascinates me about the Beatles is how every song is a masterpiece.Its like they’re sprinkled with magic dust or something.Every one of their songs is better than most bands entire back catalogue put together.
The more you do something, the better you get at it.
Woof Dog - I agree ! What you say is almost true.
Most of their songs are iconic melodies. Truly gifted musicians and songwriters !
And personalities as well.
nah
I think this song was by Jackie Lomax. The A Side was The eagle Laughs at You .What evler became of him?
It becomes Gold!!!
Imagine a band being so good that this song became a throwaway.❤
George was having trouble getting his songs on their albums, too much talent in that band.
I just discovered this and “Palace of the King of the Birds” in the last few minutes! Wow. Speechless:)
Oh how I wish George had completed this song. 'Sour Milk Sea' belongs on the White Album as much as John's 'Don't Let Me Down' belongs on Let it Be.
it was completed -- George gave it to Jackie Lomax who recorded it for Apple Records w/ Eric Clapton on guitar
Should have been a single
Instead of "Revolution 9"
Vadim Ast Projects There ya go! #9 was too long also. I love this song,George was my hero
@@derrickcrane4290 Yes, I should have used the word "released" rather than "completed". What I meant was it should have been recorded and released as a Beatles song.
"Sour Milk Sea" is a song by English rock singer Jackie Lomax that was released as his debut single on the Beatles' Apple record label in August 1968. It was written by George Harrison during the Beatles' stay in Rishikesh, India, and given to Lomax to help launch Apple Records. The recording is a rarity among non-Beatles songs since it features three members of the band - Harrison, who also produced the track, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney. Performed in the hard rock style, the song also includes musical contributions from Eric Clapton and session pianist Nicky Hopkins, and was the first of many Harrison productions for artists signed to the Beatles' record label.
....and Jackie Lomax never really got the recognition his talent deserved.
Very comprehensive. Thank you.
Thanks for the detailed info. As I listened, I found it sounded less Beatle-y, and wondered where that piano and guitar phrasing fit in. Now it all makes sense. Sounds a lot like a post-Beatles Harrison tune, imo.
Bad finger notably
It's BY George Harrison, produced by Lomax
Wonderful. This should have been on a Beatles album for sure. Combining the hard rock of "Savoy Truffle" and the also-rejected "Not Guilty" with the blues of "Old Brown Shoe," it really shows the fine talent George had that his bandmates underrecognized throughout their entire career together. Thanks for bringing it back!
agree he was underrecognised - he has always been my favourite Beatle, since age 5 - the soulful one
It is on a Beatles album. It was released on the 50th anniversary issue of "The Beatles" (The White Album) on the 3rd disc.
@@andyallan2909 Great!
yes, it reminds me of old brown shoe. George harmonies shine like a rare crystal.
@@andyallan2909 Right, in with the Esher versions of The Beatles White Album era songs (It also includes George's "Not Guilty" and "Circles", --later released on his Gone Troppo, Paul's "Junk" - which turned up on Paul's 1st solo album, and John's "Child of Nature", later released on his "Imagine" album as "Jealous Guy").
This song is so freakin amazing!!!!
Can really hear the 90s in this. Man, the Beatles were so far ahead of their time.
Agreed! Sounds like Blur
Bullshit!, the 90s did a lot of copy paste. :-)
@@harryhaller9386 right-90s suked
@@soxwina, oh, sure, all the music now is SO great, right? All quantized and autotuned to "perfection"...
except they were about three decades behind performance concert music, but hey... who cares?
Sour Milk Sea is an absolute "must include" on the 2018 White Album de lux box set, expected to be released in November
Your prayers have been listened, brother
Yes! I'm glad the demo is on the upcoming White Album 50th set. I just wish they would include a more professional mashup of the Beatle's demo and Jackie Lomax's backing track (which includes George, Paul, and Ringo). But if that never happens, I'm at least glad that fans make decent mashups like this one! I tried doing it one time, but I didn't have the patience to match the timing of the demo to the timing of the Lomax backing track :)
robert britton Not Guilty should definitely be involved this time.
One of the finest by George with the Beatles
Great backing track from George, Paul and Ringo. If I was George I would have told Jakie Lomax to clear off... This would have made a cracking little debut single for Beatle George in 1968.
It isn't ...not sure why .
oh georgey why, why! too much love makes one give, but you knew this song was a powerful peice and you still kept it out of the catalogue. I like the way it makes me feel to hear it. My brain receptors for sound are happy.
Clocking 58 years as a Beatles fan, never got it up to today.
Agree, should be part of the White Album - their best imo
The White Album is their best 🍏
There's something about George's voice that is really "Something."
I saw what you did there, nice one Fella
its kinda "long long", but "within you and without you"
"I wrote ‘Sour Milk Sea’ in Rishikesh, India. I never actually recorded the song - it was done by Jackie Lomax on his album Is This What You Want? Anyway, it’s based on Vishvasara Tantra, from Tantric art. ‘What is here is elsewhere, what is not here is nowhere’. It’s a picture, and the picture is called ‘Sour Milk Sea’ - Kalladadi Samudra in Sanskrit. I used Sour Milk Sea as the idea of - if you’re in the shit, don’t go around moaning about it: do something about it
George Harrison
RESPECT !
Thanks for clarifying that, I remember the Lomax version.
かっこよすぎる!
ポールジョンが、音かぶせまくってますね。最高!駆け抜ける感じ。
ジョージいいね!
You're still in my heart, George.
This is my introduction to this1st rate George Harrison tune. Thanks a million👍✌
I can hear the development of George's songwriting style here. It doesn't really sound like The Beatles, it sounds like Harrison.
Sounds like Badfinger.
WMGGW dosnt sound like a Beatles tune either.
He often played with the Beatles...they occasionally went on tangents.
The guitar licks sound like Cream of that era
It's more All Things Must Pass. I wish they would do a new remix & ditching the awful Spector Wall of Sound & more Abbey Road. Will write to Dhani about it.
I really enjoy both Eric and George's solos!
There's infinitely more melody and texture in a Beatles outtake than ANYTHING that's popular now.
So true...we have the radio playing all contemporary songs where I work...they're all so bland, repetitive, simplistic, uninspired/uninspiring and...well... just lazy efforts, quite frankly...
@@bettyswunghole3310 Just "muzak"!
Great drumming! Go, Ringo, Go! You´re the greatest!
I have been a Beatles fan for 45 years I am now 49 this is the first time I have ever heard this Jackie Lomax brought me here
Paul and Ringo KILLING it, drove this song omg. 😳 So much fun to listen to, ty!
Paul and Ringo are not on this song. This is a Jackie Lomax recording with George's original vocal demo that somebody mashed together.
@@magneto7930 who played drums and bass then? Multiple sources confirmed they did (even one just below this post)?
@@false_binary you are correct, my mistake, I don't know what I was thinking about. Paul and Ringo definitely did play on the song and I think maybe Clapton. My apologies.
@@magneto7930 Yes & Nicky Hopkins KILLING it on the keys. Quite the "Fab 3" production!
@@false_binary yes indeed, and kudos to the person who made this into a virtual Beatles song!
I wonder if it's non-release had more to do with the fact that George wrote it. This is a wonderful piece, I'm very impressed.
This was George venting his frustration at being in the Beatles at that late stage. He found it limiting and frustrating and he was especially fed up with the overbearing Paul. That's why this song didn't make it on to the White album.
George was always my favorite. He was so unique...
The expression on the face of the cat sitting between Ringo and George always makes me laugh!😆
I can't unsee it now.
The uncle of the Year of the Cat(1976) 🐈
How is it, being a Beatles freak all my life, that I’ve never heard of this song let alone being able to listen to it??
Most of the voice heard is George's! Love it! First time I heard this song - beautiful!
I can't help hearing Savoy Truffle in this song..
Most certainly. In my head, I can hear Sour Milk Sea segue into Savoy Truffle.
Similar vibe
except this is better all the way around.
percussion it's all too much-ish
well said bro
I can't get enough of this song! If George had put this on the White Album, it would have been the best song on there
This one instead of Piggies
@@josepmariaromeu2005or long long long. I thought this and piggies were rubbish..
George brings the house down on this! This is so awesome! Jackie Lomax does a great version too. I can tell the background is very similar on both. Jackie's singing one; George the other. Both excellent! R.I.P. George & Jackie
I grew up listening to my oldest brother play his Beatles records, the other two brothers one was very much into playing classical Spanish guitar and the other classics. The youngest still 7 years older than myself like The rolling Stones, Cream, Deep Purple and Pink floyd. As I was closest to my oldest brother (I was the only girl in our family) I followed all his Beatles songs. This one I've never heard.
Unmistakable Ringo on drums.
ちょっとオールドブラウンシュー風な雰囲気のある曲ですね😲
初めて聴きました💪
And a touch of Savoy Truffle
This is the quality of song they leave off their album!!! Incredible.
George Harrison solo cut...however, your point is taken
The more I hear this. The more I love this track
💯 💶
One of the best songs by George.
Not sure about "best," but it's a rocker for sure
What a great song.
Woah! A Beatles song I've never heard of or known of. Thanks for this
The Beatles were songwriters,, ,,,,, the stones followed in THEIR footsteps. Only One Original !!!!!!!!!!
As this is a George Harrison solo cut, The Beatles can't get the credit for this one...though Paul & Ringo played, as well as Clapton, Nicky Hopkins on keys, and Lomax (backup vocals & production)
The amount of Beatles unreleased songs is enough to make 3 albums, God imagine if they reunited or Brian Epstein never died so they kept performing through the 70s...
I would have liked to have seen them last till 1974 and have "My Sweet Lord," "Live and Let Die" and "Imagine" be Beatles hits.
I personally like that they ended up (not on purpose) taking the Seinfeld route and finish on a high, rather than dragging it out till the 80s like the Stones.
I like how it all happened (the breakup in 1970 and all the arguments) that is what makes them what they were. But I agree with you: Imagine "Instant Karma", "Imagine", "My sweet lord", all the Wings songs were published as Beatles songs.
More than 3
if brian hadnt died, they wouldnt have broken up...he wouldve talked them into doing what the stones ended up doing
he also wouldve kicked yoko's ass
Brian knew they werent going out on tour again and maybe led to the O.D.
Fun fact; Freddie Mercury briefly formed a band called Sour Milk Sea, before Queen; before Smile even...
Inspired by this Harrison song, the band name was an improvement on the former name; Tomato City...
The melodic line is beautiful
Great and interesting contribution you did here. Thanks for the effort. Much more listenable for me than Jackie's. George's calm voice changes the whole chemistry.
I agree. On his version, Lomax doesn't seem to know the melody very well and has trouble hitting some of the high notes. George's vocal is much better.
I can't believe they never released this. It's better than some other songs released that year.
It was a George Harrison solo cut
How good band must be to don't need to include such a great song with incredibly deep lyrics on their LP. I love the lyrics most.
This is just a great as finding an unknown unreleased Stevie Ray Vaughn track. Love it.
RIP JOHN & GEORGE & SRV
This fan-mix needs an official release
@SEBASTIAN MORALES ARCILA this is not the esher demo version
This is the backing track from a released version by Jackie Lomax and George's guide vocal added to it. It has been released. George, Ringo, Paul, Eric Clapton, and Nicky Hopkins all played on the Jackie Lomax track. Not a Beatles track, but close..
on youtube search for "Herman Brood sour milk sea live" - absolutely brilliant - HB was a Dutch Enfant Terrible who was pretty cool!
Reminds me a bit of the Stones Jigsaw puzzle. Love this. So many melodies happening simultaneously
This is a great song...too bad I didn't hear it on the radio when I was 20 learning guitar.
Never heard this song before its great!!!
As a Beatles fan,I am shocked that I never heard this terrific song before.This is definitely White Album material. George Martin could have done wonders with this mix.Very surprised why they would bypass a great song like this.Great song by George and the Beatles !
George Martin Blah Blah Blah.
The Beatles couldn't play their new music after him.
@@rickb4806 Of course they could,he just completed them.
@@apexjoe4769 Would hate to hear what he would say to Jimi Hendrix.
"um Jimi, could you please stop it with that fuzzy stuff and the feedback. How about a violin section?"
@@rickb4806 He never told the Beatles how or what to play, but suggested different sound alternatives to the finished product.If the Beatles didn't like his suggestions do you really think they would listen to him & do it his way.I don't think so.
@@apexjoe4769 And you were there?
Excellent song and excellent Rousseauesque album cover!!
Henri Rousseau, thinking exact same thing!
If your life's not right, doesn't satisfy you
Don't get the breaks like some of us do
Better work it out; find where you've gone wrong
Better do it soon as you don't have long
Get out of sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there
If you want the most from everything you do
In the shortest time your dreams come true
In no time at all it makes you more aware
Very simple process takes you there
Get out of sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there
Looking for release from limitation?
There's nothing much without illumination
Can fool-around with every different cult
There's only one way brings result
Get out of sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there.
Thanks for the lyrics Fella, time is rolling by for me nowadays and I had trouble trying to make out the words in the vocals
Absolute magic, like everything that was composed and performed by the greatest Beatles , but it is very painful to listen to because it will never happen again......
At least it happened.
Eventually recorded on Apple by Jackie Lomax backup by Ringo, Paul and George who also wrote and produced this great song..... If not mistaken even Billy Preston is also on that historic recording....
ギター🎸の素晴らしさにびっくりします💐🌠
Una extraordinaria canción que increíblemente nunca se le dio su lugar en el catálogo Beatle. George eres grande
Just heard this 1st time. Great song...
This is a demo version of the song from George's studio in preparation of the White Album. It didn't make the album so was later given to Jackie Lomax who was the first person signed to Apple.
James Taylor, é que foi o primeiro artista à assinar com a Apple Records!
Interesting. Some of the best lead guitar work I've heard from any Beatle track.
Can't make out the lyrics but love the tune. This track really moves, and I do believe that's Nicky on piano!
This sounds like they were settled in the studio, yet you can dance to this tune. It's like it's a psychedelic rock n' roll tune. Genius!
It's so weird to hear a new Beatles song, but so cool...though I knew all 200 of them
This has long been just another song they gave away with the exception of it being a George song. Jackie Lomax hit with it...
Almost anything done by The Beatles or written by one of the Beatles has some sort of specialness to it. The Jackie Lomax version of this is good too.
Playing this great George song with the band ....love it
Thanks for sharing this. I've never heard it, and I thought I've heard them all.
*the superior version*
About the time you think you have heard every Beatles song, another one pops up. Never heard this song until now.
I've decided you will never hear every Beatles song.
Dear George, RIP.
I sure wish I could make out the words. This song is great.
Excelente la interpretación vocal de harrison .My most missed beatle
I keep coming back to this. I wish it was on Spotify
Lighting in a bottle time and time again. Unparalleled as a band unit.
Un grande, en todo el sentido del concepto. George Harrison, un músico, artista y persona... Inolvidable!!!!!!!
Musically, this is very good, regardless of whether the Beatles were actually playing on it or not. The only complaint I have is that George's vocals are too muted and we have a hard time making out what he's singing.
It' s a rough mix or isn' t it?
But I agree we need the vocals mixed up more " straight in the face".
But that wasn' t usual in the 60' s.
@@terrycuster4213 this sounds like a mash up between Jackie Lomax’s backing track with George’s vocals added.
Thats just how they used to mix rock. The vocals sitting back in the mix and pushed up a skoach on the chorus.
They were playing on it. Only Eric Clapton and Billy Preston ever played with the Beatles on their recordings. No doubt about it.
@@brucewalters8635 I played one of Billy Preston's B3's on a record. Actually it was a studio that has the piano used on Nat King Cole's most iconic record. It has one of Frank Sinatra's U-47s. Ive worked at this particular studio many times but this was the first time that so many historical instruments were used on one record. It was a sacred experience in a way.
Kirameki Games, you have done a fantastic job - the best yet.
Some of the people here griping about George's playing might well be talking about Eric Clapton, since this is Jackie Lomax's backing track.
!
Take that, ye gripers!
Awesome! I don’t think that I knew about this song. Thanks! 🎻🙂✌️😎
...because it's a George Harrison's solo cut while he was in The Beatles
Never heard this before. Never knew it existed. And I’m so drawn to it. Why? It’s cool.
Firts time as well..hearing g this I'm 60..they always had something up there sleeves.👍👍👍👍
OMG this has become my favourite Beatles track yet. Anything to get Paul off that piano, really.
You're old enough to know better, so cry baby cry.
You have Jackie Lomax as the artists. This is George Harrison singing. This is what Jackie used to learn song. George and Eric on Guitars, Paul McCartney on bass, Ringo on Drums, Nicky Hopkins on piano and George on vocals. Recorded at Abbey Road and Trident Studios. Here's Jackie's version. ruclips.net/video/J83611apwIU/видео.html

this is not the lomax version ..hes clearly not singing..and its not Eric Clapton its george
@@ivanrousseau9334 It's the musical backing track to the Lomax version with Geroge's demo vocal mixed in in place of Lomax's vocal. Eric and George both play guitar on this - first break is Clapton followed by a solo from George. McCartney on bass and Ringo on drums.
Битлы теперь классика и сколько интересного и необычного у них.Двум из них хорошего здоровья.Другим двум вечная память.p.s. на картинке справа от головы Леннона очень интересный персонаж.То ли волкокот,то ли главный монах одной известной восточной церкви греческого обряда.
Great cover. Love this painting. This was the cover of an álbum called "20 ballads " in the eighties
I believe this cover was made for the album that was suggested to be named "In a Doll's House"
but instead ended up as the "White Album."
So this cover was used for the compilation that you mention, instead.
If I remember correctly, the artist was a Dutch man called Patric.
Agree, - a great cover that would have made one of the very best covers of an ordinary Beatles album.
One of EC's apple sessions, nice fills and first solo.
Great 👍Life advice 👌👏Always need to listen 🎶to this groovy and superb rocker to remember to always look on the bright side 😀of life and be positive minded 😀😊
One day this song grew up to be Savoy Truffle.
A keen observation.
Thats true
Kinda wish this was on the White Album instead.
@@mrblue99999 Last night I played them at the same time by opening two YT windows -- it's crazy how they make this kind of interchangeable psychedelia.
No it didn't two totally different songs George guitar plating at the time was garbage but still he could have asked Eric to do a solo on this one too and put it on the White Album
Fascinating. Brand new to me. A Harrison song for sure. I hear SAVOY TRUFFLE and OLD BROWN SHOE.
Thanks for the thumbs up. Never know how some people are going to react. Friend of mine is an ENORMOUS Beatle fan----far more than myself---but I'm not sure he knows of this song.
My first time hearing this.
I’m COMFORTABLE with the energy we created in the studio
nice mix with Clapton's lead guitar and everything!
Don't forget Nicky Hopkins on Keyboards as well.
George plays too.
Jaj muy buena.!
Gracias por subirla.
Viva the Beatles. !
