Savoy Truffle (Naked Version) - The Beatles

A "naked" version of Savoy Truffle without Chris Thomas's excellent sax arrangement. I've "recently" gotten a pretty good guitar isolation so following the other stripped back naked edits this is just the bare band instrumental elements. Just a fun mix to highlight the guitars that get overshowed by the saxes.

I love it. My favorite part is that I can enjoy Paul’s bass and Ringo’s drums so much more!

[@pethel12345]

What an excellent bass!

[@The_910]

This is cool but it really shows how much those horns make the song.

[@jun6174]

I disagree. The horns overpower what is a great effort by the band, ruining the song.

The horns destroyed the song.

[@patrickbracken3363]

Without the horns there's just too much space.

[@isolatedstems]

Yeah the horns fill in so much space. Although some might not like them since they are very bright in the mix, but that's how George Harrison wanted them.

[@mattiacodato4193]

I love Ringo drumming on this number.

[@pablorey9203]

allways so original, so effective in making the song better.

[@enricomenconi7015]

Absolutely! Ringo was always amazing in the 60's. I dont know why never played like that since the concert for bangladesh, I think

[@haltheil9122]

"your" Naked Versions. I love your Naked Versions.

[@haltheil9122]

I love you "Naked Versions". Terrific. And the audio is amazing. Thank you.

[@Marlenefanclubsimone]

Masterpiece, George ❤🇮🇹🤘

[@TigerRogers0660]

I do like this!! Now for a version with the horns reduced in volume - so you can hear more of George's guitars!!

[@Maxroffe56]

What a band!

[@niallq8447]

Greatest Beatles album ever. That the white album.

.... or is it Revolver ?

Ringo was amazing in the 60's!

Gorgeous!

My ultimate dream release of Beatle albums would be multitrack form for all to choose how you want to hear it. It has been a dream since the 1980's for me. This sounds very good to me. I wonder how much influence George had on Chris Thomas' sax arrangement? We here the guitar work he did for Got to get you into my Life pre brass on the super deluxe revolver. He had an ear for harmony then so it must have been even better by the White Album.

[@rickvia8435]

There's an excellent back-story behind this song. Eric left a box of his favorite chocolates behind, and George wrote the lyrics from the different varieties displayed on top of the box. Ha HAAAA.

[@MajorWolfgangHochstetter]

Fab!

La canción más deliciosa de los Beatles! (por los sabores de los chocolates)

[@nystein]

This is fantastic. It's superior to the official released version. Could you please provide a download link?

[@Slotnikoff]

What was Harrison thinking when he implanted those meaningless horns onto this track? They took 'The Beatles' out of it (maybe that's why?) I used to prefer the mono mix over the stereo mix of the conventional 'Savoy Truffle', but this re-mix is now my choice!

[@paulknight9998]

They're mixed too loud and feel intrusive. I honestly prefer it without them.

[@isolatedstems]

The horns filled in a lot of dead space and although some might not have liked how bright they are I think their brilliant.

[@monkeefinger]

Great remix, would be interesting to hear 'Got to Get You Into My Life' given the same stripped back treatment.

[@danruskin961]

Had no idea John didn't play on this

[@spaceengineer1452]

J didn't play on many G tracks.

[@danruskin961]

Thanks for the info!☺

[@spaceengineer1452]

@@danruskin961 You’re welcome. Pretty sad for George. Glad Paul always helped and joined in.

[@RattFinkMusic]

Ringo's drumming was great on that song as was Pauls bass line (like always).

[@Daberney]

John wasn't the only great rhythm guitarist in The Beatles.

[@JStarStar00]

They should have done this on the rooftop show. Obviously John could have played rhythm guitar and Billy P. Keyboards. Next up, the "naked" version of "Glass Onion."

[@bobwoolerOriGinal]

and Cold Turkey with only vocals, drums and bass👍

[@isolatedstems]

One of the original ideas of the Get Back project were to play White Album songs, but they decided just to do new songs.

[@JStarStar00]

@@isolatedstems Which was just dumb, because the White Album had just been released on Nov. 22, 1968 -- six weeks before the opening of the Get Back sessions. It wasn't like they were being told to go back and replay "Love Me Do." The "newest" song they ever performed live had been "Nowhere Man."

[@isolatedstems]

Yeah in hindsight they probably shouldn't have done it this way, but they always liked a challenge.

[@JStarStar00]

@@isolatedstems Well at that particular time, being an "oldies band" was considered a fate worse than death, so they didn't want to go back and play "old songs." Plus I think they were still in the 1960s mindset in which rock shows were 30-45 minutes long -- maybe an hour tops. Even when the Stones started playing "arena rock" shows in 1970-71 they were usually about 75-90 minutes long. So the Beatles probably weren't working under the idea they needed 2 hours of material. If they had 45-60 minutes of songs ready, they were good.

[@Tom-hk6ub]

They could do this live ! No brass ! .... John on Keys .... Sounds great .

[@bobc.1392]

I like this naked version, but I think it would be better with additional Harrison guitar in place of the space left by the absence of the horns.

[@notanotherjamesmurphy5574]

it sounds so weird without the horns

[@CésarCuevas-f4e]

Siempre quise estudiar las excelentes líneas del bajo; quitando los saxos es posible, gracias.

[@ringofan101]

Where’s the clothed version?

[@grinsko6741]

Montelimar.

[@Recalibrators]

where is the pic of Lennon?

[@isolatedstems]

Lennon didn't participate in the session.

[@vulpo]

They should have left it this way, without the wall of sax, on the White Album.

[@RebelBourke]

disagree, theres a lot of space that isn't being filled

[@andrewfyfe8986]

The horns are the making of it.

[@jun6174]

@RebelBourke Disagree. Removing the horns leaves a great rock number in its place.

[@kevinr.3542]

This sounds like early 70s glam rock and I dig it. Gives me Suffragette City vibes (bowie)
