Description
Excellent, guaranteed original, 1969 UNRELEASED 45 7" Acetate by THE BEATLES entitled "Child Of Nature" on Apple/Emidisc Records. The song's genesis came in India, after the Beatles attended a lecture by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi about a "son of the mother nature." This inspired both Paul McCartney and John Lennon to write songs about the same subject. McCartney's composition "Mother Nature's Son" was selected for The Beatles (the White Album), while Lennon's song "Child of Nature" was not. After that, Lennon continued to play it into the Get Back sessions. Eventually, the lyrics were scrapped and replaced by the now well known "Jealous Guy" lyrics for Imagine. Three recordings of "Child of Nature" are currently known. The first is a demo of the song recorded at the home of George Harrison in May of 1968. The second, on which George sings backing vocals, was recorded at Twickenham Film Studios on January 2, 1969. A third recording was made at Apple Studios on January 24. A snatch of the chorus from the second recording appears on the Fly on the Wall bonus disc packaged with "Let It Be... Naked." Condition = beautiful VG++ (very light paper scuffs - plays through great!). Winning bidder to add $5.50 Priority Mail postage in the USA.
