The Beatles - The Get Back Journals II: Discs 3-4

Label: Vigotone, VIGO 140-141

Disc Three
Total Time: 73:05

DISC THREE contains a number of interesting items, including a lengthy McCartney piano session. The unquestionable highlight, though, is the earliest known performance of "Get Back", presented here for the very first time. Much of the explosive dialog from January 7th is also here.

Disc Four
Total Time: 70:58

DISC FOUR completes the January 7th debate over the fate of the live performance and, in fact, The Beatles as a group, as George suggests that perhaps "a divorce" is in order. The mood lightens as the group spends a great deal of time rehearsing "Maxwell's Silver Hammer".
