Are you familiar with McCartney's 'demo' of For No One, where he does his extempore French horn bit?
As for George, surely his "lost" 1964 track, You Know What To Do, is hard to top. The Inner Light good too, twice a year.
Quote: Kenneth @ September 6 2009, 3:00 AM BSTInteresting stuff about The Beatles on a fascinating blog on the origins (and covers) of songs. Turns out John Lennon's Merry Christmas (War Is Over) is apparently a rip-off of a song called Stewball (about a racehorse - and recorded by the Hollies).

I know many different versions of Skewball, but I cannot say I have ever made that connection.

Indeed.
Because of this thread I decided to take over the music at work today
Just played a few Beatles albums off that You tube
In this order
Rubber Soul
Revolver
Help
Sgt Peppers
Abbey Road
and then then someone else put on repeat fm or whatever rubbish we usually have on.
