The Beatles are previewing their 50th anniversary Super Deluxe Edition of the self titled album with a previously unheard recording of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
The track premiered at Rolling Stone and, like the take that came out on Anthology 3, it features Harrison on acoustic guitar, with Paul McCartney on harmonium and a different last verse: “I look from the wings at the play you are staging / While my guitar gently weeps / As I’m sitting here doing nothing but aging / Still my guitar gently weeps.”
Set for a release on Nov. 9, the Super Deluxe Edition of The Beatles contains six CDs featuring a new stereo mix of the double album, 27 demos recorded at Harrison’s house in Esher and three discs of outtakes from the sessions, plus a Blu-ray audio disc.
