early take
- Remember (8:30)
a hard driving John leads his fellow musicians(Klaus V. & Ringo) through a lenghty
rehearsal(he actually plays the song twice in a row) at a faster pace. Incorporates unused song elements
- Remember (8:50)
this take already sounds more like the "finished article". By this time, John still
had no idea how to end this song. He later solved the problem by adding a line about Guy Fawkes day
and an added "explosion". The funny noise that can be heard throughout this take is someone(Yoko?)
playing a mouth organ(!) in order to "enhance" the rythm track. This idea was thankfully later abandoned.

- Youīre So Square (0:26)
