3. Flying Hour – George Harrison
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: George Harrison/Mick Ralphs
- 1978 outtake from the “George Harrison” sessions
- From the rejected version of the album “Somewhere in England” (1981)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vweHkckl_0w (for some reason, the
available recording of the outtake is sped up which makes it slightly
faster and higher in pitch)
- Later re-mixed and (in a slightly longer edit) released on the CD
that came with the book "Songs by George Harrison 2" (1988):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nrHmiQJA0M (this official recording is
in the proper key of E and has the correct tempo)
