Video: 'Not Guilty (Anthology 3 Version)'

(Monday, August 12, 1968, 7:00 p.m.-4:15 a.m. BST; during sessions for The Beatles, also known as “The White Album”) — The Beatles completed George Harrison’s “Not Guilty” tonight at EMI Studio 2 in London, recording Harrison’s final lead vocals.

While the group taped over 100 takes of “Not Guilty,” it failed to win a place on the White Album.

The song was eventually re-recorded by Harrison and released in 1979 on his solo album, George Harrison.

The Beatles’ version was finally released in 1996 on the Anthology 3 album.
