“The Inner Light” #96 3/30/1968

The B-side of the current Beatles single was George’s last real foray into the music of India while with the Fab Four. It didn’t appear on an LP for over a decade and then only on rarities albums. George recorded the instrumental tracks in Bombay (now Mumbai) with local musicians as part of the soundtrack for a movie entitled “Wonderwall.” He finished the song back in London with his regular bandmates before they all left for India and meditation sessions with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. This is an alternate take without vocals and with studio chatter at the beginning - sorry, it’s the best I could find. Skip to 0:58 to get past the inside baseball stuff.
