Anomalies

4:10 * NEW *
At the start of John's incoherent mumbling, someone belches. This was attributed to Ringo (why?), but Paul and John were the only ones present (Lewisohn).
4:15-4:17 * NEW *
Sound like something (a coin, something round) is spinning to a stop just behind the mumbling
The Beatles started recording the song in 1967, adding all the instrumentation and a saxophone part played by Brian Jones from The Rolling Stones. Lennon and McCartney added all of the crazy vocals in April, 1969. Finally, it was released as the B-side of the "Let It Be" single in 1970. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)
John Lennon got the idea for this when he saw a phone book on Paul McCartney's piano.
McCartney: "My favorite Beatles track... because it's so insane."
This is one of 3 Beatles songs never released in stereo. The other two are "Love Me Do" and "She Loves You." (thanks, don - rapid city, SD)
