The Beatles Unrealesed Song - Revolution 1 (Take 20)
Beatles fans still patiently waiting for Paul McCartney to release the bands 1967 sound collage Carnival of Light were surprised by an even better gift this weekend as a 10-minute version of The White Albums Revolution 1″ leaked onto the internet, giving fans a never-before-heard listen of what the White Album sessions must have been like.

According to the Ateaseweb message board, the song first surfaced on an upcoming, Europe-only bootleg Revolution: Take Your Knickers Off, as nod to Lennon saying Take your knickers off and lets go before Revolution 1 (Take 20) started rolling. As for how the song leaked out, thats an even bigger mystery. According to Mark Lewisohn
