Maxwell's Silver Hammer (Lennon Vocals)

Friday 10 January 1969: The Beatles were at Twickenham Film Studios. After breaking for lunch, however, George Harrison walked out of the studio. The remaining three Beatles carried on rehearsing without Harrison. Lennon sang Maxwell's Silver Hammer in an exaggerated German accent. Here, we remixed this take with the backing of the Abbey Road version, recorded 6 months later.The song was written in October 1968, intended for the album The Beatles, but missed off due to time constraints. Lennon described it as "more of Paul's granny music", adding later " I hate it. 'Cuz all I remember is the track - he made us do it a hundred million times. He did everything to make it into a single and it never was and it never could've been, but he put guitar licks on it and he had somebody hitting iron pieces and we spent more money on that song than any of them in the whole album."Would Lennon's version have fared better than Macca's?
