It's So Hard ft King Curtis

"It's So Hard" is still one of the tracks of Imagine from which just 1 alternate take exists : a take without the saxophone of King Curtis.Lennon and Curtis probably met around the Shea stadium concert, where Curtis was one of the warm-up acts, and Lennon called him in for this track.On Imagine, the saxophone is mostly buried in the mix.In the outtakes, we can hear King Curtis riffing away. Since it's a warmup, some King Curtis riffing are more "free stile", ad-lib than the official version.For this mix, we synced Curtis' riffing with Take 2 (not on Imagine).Many thanks to Rupert Pupkin, who came up with this idea !
