"12-Bar Original" is an instrumental song by The Beatles. It was recorded in 1965, but was not commercially available until 1996 when an edited version of Take 2 of this song was included on the "Anthology 2" album; the full version is almost 7 minutes long. [ [http://www.jpgr.co.uk/pcsp728.html JPGR - Anthology 2] ]

It is one of the few songs credited to Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey; and it is copyrighted by MPL Communications Ltd, Lenono Music, Harrisongs, and Startling Music Ltd. [ [http://www.mplcommunications.com/song_display.asp?SongNum=3721 MPL Communications - Song Archive] ]

Only John Lennon and Ringo Starr ever commented on the song. Lennon during some USA radio interviews when asked if there were any unissued Beatles recordings, he would reply that the only thing he can recall is "some lousy 12 bar". Ringo Starr told Journalist Peter Palmiere that "We all wrote the track and I have an acetate of one of the versions". The quote was later used by Palmiere in a Ringo Starr Cover interview/story in DISCoveries magazine in 1993 and by Jim Berkenstadt and Belmo in their highly rated book "Black Market Beatles".

"12-Bar Original" was The Beatles' first instrumental after signing for EMI, and was produced by George Martin at Abbey Road Studios, London.
