Re-mixed and re-mastered from the original stereo mix.
I'm so sorry for putting the Beatles: Rock Band dreamscape, I couldn't find any video to this song, and I didn't want to put the album cover through the whole video.
The basic tracks for "Within You Without You" featured only Harrison and a group of uncredited Indian musicians. Producer George Martin then arranged a string section, and Harrison and assistant Neil Aspinall overdubbed the tambura. According to Prema Music, dilruba player Amrit Gajjar played on the track. Hunter Davies wrote that Harrison "trained himself to write down his song in Indian script so that the Indian musicians can play them." With "Within You Without You", Harrison became the second Beatle to record a song credited to The Beatles but featuring no other members of the group (Paul McCartney had previously done so with "Yesterday").
"Within You Without You" is the second of Harrison's songs to be explicitly influenced by Indian classical music (the first being "Love You To", released on Revolver the previous year.) The song is Harrison's only composition on Sgt. Pepper after "Only a Northern Song" was omitted from the album. Harrison wrote "Within You Without You" on a harmonium at the house of long-time Beatles' associate Klaus Voormann. The song (originally written as a 30-minute piece, abbreviated for the album) is in Mixolydian Mode. The laughter at the end was Harrison's idea, placed at the end of the song in order to lighten the mood and follow the theme of the album. The recording released on the album was sped up to C#; an instrumental version of the song at the original speed and in the original key appears on the Anthology 2 album.
