A previously unheard song featuring two of The Beatles at the height of their fame has been given its world premiere after being rediscovered in a loft.

The song "Radhe Shaam" was written and produced by broadcaster Suresh Joshi in 1968 and features Ringo Starr on drums and George Harrison on guitar.

Very cool! Now we need to isolate the backing.

Lick reminds me of Denny Lane's "I Would Only Smile".

When I first heard this today my first thought was it was a fake. There's no way that George could play like that, and I posted to say so on the Hoffman forum.

It seems that others there agree and that it's probably Clapton playing the solo. If George was there then he's probably playing rhythm.

This begs the questions though as to when this was recorded - probably later than 1968 and not at the time of the Hey Jude sessions as stated.

The singer himself has previously said it was done in 1969/70, which possibly places it at the first 'It Don't Come Easy' sessions.

Still, it's great to hear something new from this time period.

I think this sounds like the Lomax Sour Milk Sea sessions. Ringo is playing similar drum fills. Same drum tuning and recording ambiance.
