Beatles for Sale: Here are the Details of the “Abbey Road” 50th Anniversary Box Set I Wrote About Yesterday

Share

Hey, thanks to everyone who gave this column credit for breaking the “Abbey Road” 50th anniversary box set story yesterday. (LOL).

Anyway, now we can “Come Together” over “Something.” I’ll “Carry That Weight” by myself.

All remixed, and souped up for 2019. The only extra track we haven’t heard before (except for a friend of mine who has every single outtake ever) is a group cover of “Come and Get It,” which Paul McCartney gave to Badfinger, and was a massive hit. Another version was featured on the Beatles’ Anthology 3. (See below.)
