GENIUS TAKE: John Lennon Covers Paul McCartney

John Lennon’s inspired version of Paul McCartney’s first-ever composition is so brilliant it could’ve been on ’Let It Be’. For the remix at the end, we’ve stacked all the best parts from a 10-minute jam into a 3-minute song. Special thanks to Howie Edelson for the incredible context. In the nineteen seventies, 150 hours of Beatles rehearsal tapes, recorded for the 1970 “Let It Be“ documentary, were stolen and leaked onto the black market. Thirty years later, they were recovered by British and Dutch police during an intercontinental sting dubbed “Operation Acetone.“ In 2021, some of these recordings were used for the Beatles’ “Get Back“ docuseries. However, most of the tapes, which contain a goldmine of unreleased original Beatles music, remain on the cutting room floor. Website - Instagram - Facebook - Spo
