I wonder if the tape is speeded up a little. A musician on YouTube commented that she did that sometimes (on her own work) to check if anything was sharp or flat.
Wow!!! :D That is so awesome. Really cool hearing their voices acapella and the little differences from the final recording. I get why it was sped up so it stays on the site, but you can still tell it's them.
This is just one track of a recording that turned up a few years ago and I think was discussed here (possibly August/September 2013). Someone had come across a tape with studio recordings of Take It Easy and Hotel California, with different parts on different tracks. This track is Randy's backing vocal but as it was recorded in the same room at the same time as Glenn's lead vocal, you can hear Glenn in the background.
I don't think it's sped up.

ETA: It was discussed a bit here but the downloads are no longer available.
It is sped up. It's a semitone higher than it should be. (in A flat instead of G)
Yes, I was wrong. From first to last vocal, the one on youtube is 2:56 whereas the one I have is 3:16. Is that consistent with the pitch change?
So the theory is that this tape was found among those discarded when Olympic Studios went under? I wonder if the OTB sessions with Glyn Johns were found, particularly Randy's "Wait and See" and Bernie's "Georgia Peach." Let us pray.
More than likely the uploader sped it up so it stays on YT. A lot do that to avoid the copyright so it stays on the site.
