Octopus's Garden Re-Mix

In late 1969, it was decided by Yorkshire England's "ITV" television net work to produce a special based on the talents of the Beatles' producer George Martin. The special was recorded at the television studios in mid December and shown on boxing day or on Christmas eve in various areas of the country.
One of the ideas for the show was to have something played by The Beatles which of course could not happen. It was derhcided to have Ringo lip-sync to his latest tune "Octopus's Garden".
Therefore on December 02 1969 at EMI Studio, the original multi-track tape was pulled out and put on the reel. The original drums and rhythm guitar were pulled from the tape and shifted to one channel of the stereo spectrum. The other side of the stereo spectrum contained some of the vocal overdub and some of the bubbling effect. As a quick aside, December 02 was also the day both "Lady Madonna" and "Rain" were mixed in stereo for the eventual "Hey Jude" compilation Apple LP to be released the following year.
On December 08 1969, this new version with drums/guitar was played while fresh bass, piano, lead guitar was added to the tune by unknown session musicians. Ringo simply added his new vocal as well to lip-sync on the show and the song was mixed on twin track tape after 10 takes. The tape was taken away by one of the production members for the television special.
I have not heard this particular version although it has been released in various forms on CDR.
