George Harrison (of Beatles fame) - Original 10" Aluminum Acetate (Often a one-of-a-kind!)

Studio Version! Cut by ARTISAN in Los Angeles, 1970/1971 For The Charity Single Bangladesh To Be performed at the concert for Bangladesh in 1971 with Tom Petty, Ringo, Dylan.. Etc..!!! To my knowledge, and several other collectors that have been doing research with me, this is the only Acetate of this single that exists. This has been researched for about a year. Mega Rare, and yet another historic find in the Beatles World. The Acetate has some scuffing that does not effect play. It has been played by me once and left uncleaned in its original state the way it was found. Happy bidding on this piece! As you can see at the last picture (number 804) this item has been sold previously through "Bonham Auctions" a well respected auction-House

Bangla Desh is a song by George Harrison released as a charity single after the disasters in East Pakistan in 1971.

"Bangla Desh" starts with the lyrics "My friend came to me, with sadness in his eyes. He told me that he wanted to help, before his country dies." This refers to the conversation he had with sitar virtuoso, mentor and friend Ravi Shankar in which Shankar asked Harrison to help his country in any way he could. The collaboration for the song later evolved into The Concert for Bangla-Desh, where Harrison performed a live version of the song.

The Studio-Version of "Bangla-Desh" has only been released on compact disc on the EMI compilation album, The Best Of George Harrison (1976). The single's B-side "Deep Blue" had never been released on any album until it was included on the 2006 remastered version of Harrison's Living in the Material World album as a bonus track.
