Her Majesty Notes Disc 5 There's quite a bit of newly-available material on this disc, and what isn't new is either longer, presented in better quality, or both. With the move to the Beatles' studio in the basement of the Apple Building, the sessions now revolved (somewhat loosely) around recording releasable takes. So after the usual spate of warmup numbers, rehearsal and generally clowning, serious attempts at recording "Dig a Pony", "I've Got a Feeling" and Don't Let Me Down" began. Mid-way through the sessions Billy Preston arrived and was immediately offered a temporary spot with the band (track 24). Disc 6 A flood of new material, from multiple attempts to record "I've Got a Feeling", "Get Back" and "Two of Us", to a fun interlude with "Twenty Flight Rock" (finally available!). It's possible that a minute of the jam heard on track 10 was what Glyn Johns recorded on multi-track tape and named "Blues". Note the recording dates for the "Get Back" album versions of "Dig a Pony" and "I've Got a Feeling" were wrong in BOTH Mark Lewisohn's "Recording Sessions" AND "Get Back"!
