The Beatles 1995-01-25
The Abbey Road Companion, various, various
Set 1
1. Because (Lennon/McCartney)
Take 16
Vocal Track
1 Aug 1969
vocals only
2. Come And Get It (McCartney)
Demo
24 Jul 1969
3. I Want You (She's So Heavy) (Lennon/McCartney)
Fake ?
Feb 1969
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).
4. Oh, I Need You (Lennon ?)
Fake ?
Feb 1969
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).
5. Something (Harrison)
Demo
25 Feb 1969
The original George Harrison demo. Recorded on his 26th birthday, 25 February 1969
6. Something (Harrison)

7. Maxwell's Silver Hammer (Lennon/McCartney)
(unidentified)
1969
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)
