| Track | Comments | ||
| 1. | Because | Take 16 - Vocal Track | vocals only |
| Lennon/McCartney | 1 Aug 1969 | ||
| 2. | Come And Get It | Demo | |
| McCartney | 24 Jul 1969 | ||
| 3. | I Want You (She's So Heavy) | Fake ? | The Beatles follow in the
footsteps of Cream as a heavy-rock trio while George
Harrison is in hospital. A session NOT documented in Mark
Lewisohn's Beatle-books and one rare occasion where Paul
sings lead vocals on one of John's songs. Trident studios,
February 1969. It is still unsure if this is a fake or not. The date is of course speculative (noted usually as 21 feb 1969). |
| Lennon/McCartney | Feb 1969 | ||
| 4. | Oh, I Need You | Fake ? | This song is said to be a
Lennon composition but it is not proved (some even say it's
a fake or a Mccartney song). This has nothing to do with the George Harrison song of the same name. Said to be the "counterpart" to I WANT YOU, a sentimental ballad. The date is of course speculative (noted usually as 21 feb 1969). |
| Lennon ? | Feb 1969 | ||
| 5. | Something | Demo | The original George Harrison demo. Recorded on his 26th birthday, 25 February 1969 |
| Harrison | 25 Feb 1969 | ||
| 6. | Something | Take 36 | A rough mix of the Beatles' studio-version complete with extended piano-led jam-session ending. Take 36, 2 May 1969 |
| Harrison | 2 May 1969 | ||
| 7. | Maxwell's Silver Hammer | Liner notes say: complete
version with full beginning. But it seems to be a fake (the intro was taken from the middle of the song. Why did they do this? There exist a perfectly genuine outtake) |
