“Sun King”

Several months before “Abbey Road” took shape, Fleetwood Mac released the UK #1 instrumental “Albatross.” This was John Lennon’s response. The original title was “Here Comes The Sun King” but was changed to avoid confusion with George’s similarly named track. It has some spacey guitar with phrases in broken Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. The Beatles’ sense of humor was a little odd that way.
