George Harrison Billy Preston Ringo Starr Leon Russell Alternate One Sided Acetate Version of Side of a 2 LP Box Set Version of the 3 LP Set from 1971 known as "The Concert For Bangla Desh" Apple STCX 3385
This is part of a selection of Apple LP acetates from the collection of a former Apple Records Promotions executive from as early as 1970. Most of the acetates obtained from this collection have standard acetate labels but some of these acetates originate from even earlier in the audio review stage of record production and have no labels at all. These unlabeled reference acetates have to be listened to on a record player in order to determine what they are.
This is one of those unlabeled reference acetates. At this point my best guess is that this acetate is from when Phil Spector was still deciding how many disks would constitute the "Concert For BanglaDesh" Box set what mixes and songs were going to be on each side of what would ultimately become one of the most iconic three record sets ever released. Years later this version was released on an extremely limited basis.
This 12" alternate acetate contain live performances from the 1971 Concert for Bangla Desh in the following order.
1) George Harrison - "Wah Wah"
2) George Harrison - "My Sweet Lord"
3) George Harrison - "Awaiting On You All"
4) Billy Preston - "That's The Way God Planned It"
5) Ringo Starr - "It Don't Come Easy"
6) George Harrison and Leon Russell - "Beware of Darkness"
This disk was originally owned by Phil Spector.
The Disk Is a Strong VG+
From the personal collection of a former record company executive who worked for both Apple Records and Phil Spector Productions.
