One that John considered a throwaway from the White Album. Of course, at times Lennon was his own worst critic. It was based on English nursery rhymes, of all things. The ending was tacked on from an outtake of a portion of Paul’s “I Will” and led into “Revolution 9.” Apparently there was lots of bickering and sniping between everyone involved during this recording. It was enough to cause the departure of their primary studio engineer, Geoff Emerick, who was kind of important behind the scenes to the entire process. He wouldn’t work with the Beatles again for another nine months. Geoff passed away in October 2018.
