Original Beatles recordings

All tracks were original compositions based around the titles of bootlegged or rumored Beatles songs. While bearing no resemblance to the tracks on this album, the original recordings were as follows:

# "All Together On The Wireless Machine" - A brief, comedic ditty by Paul McCartney and Kenny Everett, with one section resembling the melody of "Hello, Goodbye."
# "Home" - No Beatles song by this title is known to exist, though this may have been an early, incorrect title given on a bootleg to the as-yet-unreleased "Two Of Us."
# "Little Eddie" - Also known as 'There You Are, Little Eddie', this was a McCartney improvisation from January 1969.
# "I Should Like To Live Up A Tree" - No Beatles song by this title is known to exist; however, it is believed that this title stemmed from a late-1960's bootlegger's mishearing of lyrics belonging to the as-yet-unreleased "Octopus's Garden."
# "Shirley's Wild Accordion" - An unreleased song by this title was recorded during the Magical Mystery Tour sessions, featuring Shirley Evans on accordion. However, this song has never been bootlegged.
# "Colliding Circles" - This title was a complete fabrication, included as a joke by Beatles historian Martin Lewis in a New Musical Express article detailing the Beatles' unreleased recordings.
# "What's The New Mary Jane" - An avant-garde track recorded during the White Album sessions, which was eventually released on The Beatles Anthology 3.
# "Heather" - An improvisation by Paul McCartney and Donovan Leitch, recorded during the sessions for Mary Hopkin's "Postcard" album.
# "When I Come To Town" - A working title (or incorrect title given on a bootleg) for Ringo Starr's autobiographical song "Early 1970."
# "Bound By Love" - Also known as "The Honeymoon Song," this was performed by the Beatles during their BBC sessions.
# "Indian Rope Trick" - Also known as "Spiritual Regeneration," this Beach Boys-flavored tune was recorded (with accompaniment by the Beach Boys' Mike Love) during the Beatles' 1968 trip to India.
# "Four Nights In Moscow" - Another alleged working title for Ringo's "Early 1970."
# "Thinking Of Linking" - One of the Lennon/McCartney duo's first compositions, this song was performed by the Beatles during the filming of the Beatles Anthology video series. The performance was commercially released on the DVD edition of the Anthology.
# "Watching Rainbows" - An outtake from the Let It Be sessions, improvised around a variation of the melody of "I've Got A Feeling."
# "Rubber Soul" - A working title for the 1965 instrumental widely known as "12 Bar Original." (A heavily edited version of that instrumental appeared on The Beatles Anthology 2.)
