The Beatles ‘Here Comes The Sun’: Lost Solo Discovered
Posted by @coltondaniel on January 28th, 2012
Here comes the Son.
Dhani Harrison, the son of George (the late and great Beatles guitarist) visited Abbey Road studio with long-time Beatles producer George Martin and his son, Giles to discover something sacred. Deep in the master tracks of “Here Comes The Sun” from 1969′s Abbey Road, Dhani stumbles upon a lost solo from his father’s ballad. It completely changes the texture of the song, not to mention how freakin’ cool it is.
It’s chilling, but doesn’t compare to the moment when George Martin turns to Dhani and says, “You’re like your father.”

MONEY can't buy you love, insisted John Lennon, but bidders at a Cotswold auction proved last week that money can buy you Beatles collectables.
A large collection of Beatles ephemera made over £7,000 when it was sold by auctioneers Moore Allen & Innocent in Cirencester on Friday, January 20.
The collection, which included books, posters, china plates, drinks mats, guitars, pin badges, fridge magnets and even a gift box of men's socks and a telephone that sang Yeah, Yeah, Yeah at an incoming call, was amassed by a single collector over a half century.
Battling at out for first place in the chart of top sellers were a child's copy of a Rickenbacker guitar after the original used by John Lennon; and Mr Wonderful by Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple by Deep Purple, Volume IV by Black Sabbath and a host of other vinyl records by bands from the 1960s and 70s combined in a single lot, both of which made £540.
A new entry at number two were two boxes of 1960s albums including records by Led Zeppelin, The Faces and The Beatles' old rivals the Rolling Stones, making £500.
The Beatles were in again at number three with a collection of 35 LPs, covering most of the band's back catalogue, as well as some live recordings and compilations, which made £370.
A limited edition of Ringo Starr's Postcards from the Boys, featuring an album of facsimile postcards sent by John, Paul and George to Ringo, and presented in a case designed as a red postal box made £320.
And a box of Beatles singles and Eps, including imports for the French, Japanese and Russian markets, made £180, while a box of various Beatles related die-cast toys including taxis, Magical Mystery Tour buses, an AEC four wheel flat bed lorry with billboards and a psychedelic Mini made £120.
Predictably, the auction attracted interest from around the world, and saw determined bidding within the saleroom.
Outside of the Beatles section, the top price of the day was achieved by a George III oak cased long case clock inscribed Tho. Travis Thorne, which made £680.
And a pair of World War Two binoculars made the second highest lot price of the day, at £600. The glasses had once been owned by the commander of a U-Boat. It is not known whether his submarine was yellow.
The next auction at Moore Allen & Innocent is the sporting sale on Friday, February 3. For an auction catalogue, log on to www.mooreallen.co.uk
