Message by Paul McCartney – ***

Paul recorded this special message for the Japanese fans in the Japanese edition of "Flowers in the Dirt". Strangely, it was recorded in English.

Mess, The by Paul McCartney – ***

First released: 1973

Not a very distinguished song, but it is the first official live Paul McCartney track to ever be released. There may be a studio version of this, but it not yet seen the light of day. It was originally going to be on "Red Rose Speedway", but ended up as the b-side of "My Love". Later, CD reissues added it back into the "Red Rose Speedway" mix in 1990.

"Menlove Avenue" by John Lennon – **

First released: 1986

I really welcomed this compilation of unreleased material by John Lennon when first released, but was disappointed that an entire side was devoted to "Walls and Bridges" demos when five other completely unreleased tunes could have been issued. Fortunately, Yoko released the bulk of the unreleased stuff on "The John Lennon Anthology".

Men’s Room, LA by Kinky Friedman – ***

First released: 1976

Kinky Friedman song in which Ringo participates.

Memphis, Tennessee by The Beatles – ***

First released: 1981

Also known as just "Memphis". One of the many songs The Beatles performed for their Decca audition in 1962. This is fairly true to the Chuck Berry original. The Beatles also recorded it for radio in 1963. That version was released on "Live at the BBC" in 1994.
