a note about this track

featuring George Harrison on sitar; and significant because it is the first time this Indian instrument was heard in a 'pop' song; recorded 12 october 1965 .. this early version of "Norwegian Wood", recorded 21 october 1965, offers a more prominent sitar sound than the 'original' "Rubber Soul" version.
