10. Get Back (Lennon/McCartney)

nDDSI.03.046
Was GB03.038

A short piece but quite humorous. One must wonder, though, what Paul was thinking when he sang this song. it certainly wasn't socially correct.
AKA "There's Hole In My Heart"

13. Two Of Us (Lennon/McCartney)

Get Back Session
Jan 1969
An interesting recording segment of John and Paul working on a very early version of "Two Of Us". Filmed for the movie but never used. Paul originally wrote this song for Apple recording artists, Mortimer.

14. All Things Must Pass (Harrison)

Get Back Session
Jan 1969
"All Things Must Pass" would become a million seller for George, but here we have an early Beatles' version of the song. George and the others worked on a number of Harrison originals during these sessions. George would later re-record them for his 1970 solo album.

21. You Never Give Me Your Money (Lennon/McCartney)
Take 30
6 May 1969
This rare piece is the unreleased studio take featuring Paul's vocal, guitar, piano and drums only. The overdubs are missing and the song ends in a jam. In addition, this is a mono mix - no "Abbey Road" songs were ever officially released in mono.

22. Something (Harrison)
Take 37
11 Jul 1969
On this date George recorded a new vocal for "Something" and the song was mixed down for further reduction. The most interesting item occurs at the song's end as an extended jam concludes the cut.

23. The Beatles Seventh Christmas Record (Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)

Xmas
1969

We end this set with The Beatles' final Christmas Fan Club message. It is mostly a John and Yoko production, but others do put in their brief bits. At the time of its release many fans were none too pleased to hear Yoko on their flexi-disc. The Beatles would continue the Christmas greetings tradition on into their solo careers - most significantly with Paul's "Wonderful Christmas Time" and the Lennons' "Happy Christmas (War is Over)".
