First released: 1970
Officially released on George Harrison’s "All Things Must Pass" album, this tune had its origins during the Beatles’ "Get Back"/"Let it Be" sessions in 1969. This is a prime example of a tune ruined by Phil Spector’s overproduction. I much prefer The Beatles demo version, although it isn’t polished. If George recorded this and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" more like the demos, I would probably like them more. The only thing that mars the demo is McCartney singing: “…let it down, let it down, let it down…” repeatedly during the chorus. Another demo version sans McCartney and crew appears on the "All Things Must Pass" reissue in 2001.
