Listen to the Beatles' 'Helter Skelter' (Second Version, Take 17) from Forthcoming Anthology 4

Info: “[Helter Skelter] was a track we did in total madness and hysterics in the studio,” recalled Ringo — with Paul adding: “We just tried to get it louder. Guitars: can we have them sound louder? The drums: louder! We did it like that, because I like noise.” Paul and George played guitar, with John taking over on bass. Apparently Ringo thrashed the drums so hard during takes that he declared: “I’ve got blisters on my fingers!” Even though Take 17 ends with Paul calling out “keep that one, mark it fab,” the master take is 21. Helter Skelter (Second Version, Take 17) is one of 36 alt versions that feature on Anthology 4, including 13 that are previously unreleased.
