I’m hoping everyone reading out there has had a splendid New Year’s holiday. Unfortunately for the most of us, it’s now time to get back to the grind. The first BROW of 2010 is due so I’m going to jump right in.

Let’s listen in to an overdub session The Beatles held on September 6, 1967. George Harrison’s musical transcendence during this year was never more evident than on Blue Jay Way. George developed an uncanny skill with studio effects such as flanging, backwards tapes, strings and swirling organs and uses them perfectly on this song to capture the feeling of being lost in the fog in a strange city. The end result: another psychedelic masterpiece.

The same vocal track is heard here that adorns the master heard on the Magical Mystery Tour film/EP/album. Some of the backing vocal overdubs heard in the master are missing here while other overdubs are apparent here that were removed from the master, including additional percussion, among other things.

Enjoy, and once again, all the best in the new year!

George Harrison, 1967
