Get Back Notes Disc 9 Disc 9 features a plethora of never-before-heard takes of "The Long and Winding Road", culminating with the unadulterated version of the performance that was dressed up for the "Let It Be" album. (Note that the book "Get Back" was WAY off on the date for THIS one!) We also get three January 26th takes of "Let It Be" (the last of which wounded up on the Glyn Johns acetates that were broadcast on American radio in 1969), as well as some fine examples of The Beatles jamming and enjoying themselves with some oldies. Disc 10 Disc 10 consists almost entirely of never-before-heard material. While recording "Get Back" was clearly the band's top priority on January 27th, they also found time to work on "Let It Be", "The Long and Winding Road" and George's new song, "Old Brown Shoe". It seems possible (likely, in fact) that track 7 is what Glyn Johns captured on multi-track tape and dubbed "Untitled Jamming". Track 20 is the performance that was used for both the single and album versions of "Get Back", heard here in its original, undoctored form.
