The Beatles Reveal Three Different Versions Of ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’

Taken from the new 'White Album' re-issue...

The Beatles have shared three different versions of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'.

The George Harrison classic is one of the centrepieces of 'The White Album', and with the 1968 full length gaining a massive re-issue a raft of unreleased material is making its way online.

The re-issue drops on November 9th, and follows last year's lavish re-issue of 'Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band'.

Three versions of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' are online, featuring the initial Esher Demo, an acoustic take, and the 2018 mix.

A work of friendship, Eric Clapton makes a guest appearance on the track – George Harrison would return the favour on Cream's single 'Badge'.
