George Harrison - '' It Don't Come Easy ''


....heard a studio version of this song the other day on the internet and really enjoyed it. I do see where the song is on his ; '' Concert for Bangledesch '' DVD and is sung along with Ringo, but this version was just George in a studio. Anybody know if this is commercially available and if so, where can I find it ???? I liked it that much......

The bootleg 'To Be Expected Strawberry Sampler 001' You will find it there.
Finding it is the hard part. Obviously its out there and well known amongst The Beatles nuts. I think it would be fun to own and I think that cut was studio recorded while they were tirelessly recording the song. I never read anything that straight out said George wrote that song. Only that he may have contributed to the writing. Regardless Ringo was given full credit. Ill dig deep into Google for it. I don't own much Beatles material but enjoy it and more so enjoy the chase and research involved in finding a copy.
I forgot to mention that it IS amazing to hear George sing it and I love the hare krischna added in by the backing vocals because that's sooo George. This is an interesting piece to look for and you have to be careful because bootlegs and the Internet are a recipe for disaster. When I was 15 there was a record store near me that was loaded with bootlegs and I own quite a few but its stuff like ACDC with Bon Scott. This was vinyl though. Now you can really alter your life by getting on the wrong site. I'm not sure why this version has never been released. Its studio recorded, well documented and sounds very good. We may never see its release in our lifetime or at least Ringos. Its a great great song anyway you look at it. Its about the breakup of the Beatles.
