Rain by The Beatles – ****
First released: 1966
John drones on this excellent b-side to "Paperback Writer" (or is it the other way round?). In any case, a song strongly reminiscent of "Tomorrow Never Knows" (or is it the other way round?), with a groovy ending (or is it the dnour yaw rehto?). It first appeared on CD on "Past Masters, Volume Two" in 1988.

Radio Play by John Lennon – **
First released: 1969
More noisy nonsense from Lennon and Ono’s "Unfinished Music No. 2 – Life With the Lions". The most significant aspect of this recording which is John literally turning the knob on a radio up and down in quick bursts is that one can tell The Beatles’ song "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" being broadcast at the time of recording.

R U Ready? By Ringo Starr – ***
First released: 2008
Kind of a bizarre country hillbilly gospel number from Ringo’s "Liverpool 8", made to sound like it was recorded in the 1930s. With this and Paul’s recent "The End of the End" off his "Memory Almost Full" album, both Paul and Ringo are starting to embrace their own mortality.
