Track:Its All Too Much
One of the (few) highlights of the Yellow Submarine Soundtrack, in it's original configuration, was George's gorgeous trip into (British-style) Psychedelia. Its a magic swirling trip with guitars morphing into horns and all sorts of truly screeching guitar buried deep in the mix. As the story goes....various edits & versions of this track were considered for release as single....but for whatever reason........
.....The official cd release of this track is still the best version, but this (god-awful) edit is interesting for the verse that didn't make the final cut.

1967 produced such a prodigious amount of material for The Nurk Twins Plus Two that songs like "It's All Too Much" got buried amidst the material released that year. Also remember that Harrison was still being held back by Lennon and McCartney too- why release a great George song on the back of Paul's "Hello Goodbye" when a great John song (albeit one destined for the double EP) was also in contention?
That's the shortest version I think I've heard so far. And the edits are yuk.
Thats bad on my ears
Yes. An underrated song. Thanks for recalling it to me. I got a kick out of the painful sound, here. Reminds me of Freak Out! I do think it was a shame they didn't explore George's genius more.
For some reason I can't get it to play. :(
Me too. I went to one of mine and found it still working. I hope this is just an isolated glitch.
