"I Want To Tell You" Album cut

Here's one of three George Harrison songs from "Revolver." He'd also written "Isn't It A Pity" but couldn't convince John and Paul to record it, so he saved it for his 1970 "All Things Must Pass" solo album. This is admittedly LSD-fueled with a jarring chord of E7b9 - an E7 with a top note of F. It's also the first time Paul's bass was recorded after the other music. BTW, 50 years ago (11/24/1966) the Beatles started work on the followup to "Revolver" with the first session for "Strawberry Fields Forever" which in the end didn't make it onto that LP.
