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.

Helter Skelter (Second Version, Take 17) is one of 36 alt versions that feature on Anthology 4, including 13 that are previously unreleased.
