For decades, a hobby of mine has been collecting and sharing different versions of George Harrison’s song “TaxMan” which was first heard on the Beatles’ 1966 album, Revolver. For obvious reasons, most of the versions have been covers by other artists and groups. We now have a new 2022 animated video version by The Beatles.

Over the past few years, Giles Martin, the son of the original Beatles producer, George Martin, has been working with the surviving Beatles, along with George and John’s families, to assemble newly remastered versions of their albums, using more modern technology than was available back in the 1960s. They have also included several out-takes and alternative studio versions from the Beatles’ recording sessions.

In a few weeks, on October 28, they will be releasing the new remixed and expanded version of Revolver, which is supposed to include alternative versions of TaxMan. Thanks to this article from the Ultimate Classic Rock website, I learned of this new video of the Beatles singing TaxMan with creative animations of the lyrics. I have already added this to my YouTube TaxMan playlist.

From Episode 34 (Season3, Ep 4) of the Beatles Saturday morning cartoon show. Originally aired on Saturday, October 7, 1967.

For those unfamiliar with this show, the speaking voices were not by the actual Beatles, but the singing voices were theirs.

YouTube blocked me from posting this on my channel there. However, I was able to add some more cover versions of the TaxMan song to my YouTube Playlist.
