ReplyDeleteIt appears to my ears that this version of "My Sweet Lord", the one you previously posted from Love Songs For A Late Evening, and the one I have on his Yesterday: The Wonderful Music Of The Beatles set are all different mixes of the same recording! The Love Songs one is the most different, with denser instrumentation, but it sounds to me that the others are different, too. It's possible that they're even different recordings of the same arrangement, I suppose.
Then there's the version on The Best Of '71, which you also posted...that's a completely different arrangement, much more guitar-heavy.
You have to be impressed that they went to such trouble rather than just recycling the same recording. Thanks so much for bringing these different versions to my ears.
Fringed vest over turtle neck, that woulda sold me a copy of this in 1972!
