The version issued on Anthology 3 in 1996 had been remixed from the multi-track tape 12 years earlier for a completed - but never released - album of previously unissued tracks. [This track] is the original mix made, with John and Paul present in the control room, immediately after 'Come And Get It' had been completed.

    2:30 • DemoB • Stereo • Ahead of the Beatles' latest session for Abbey Road, Paul McCartney arrived at EMI early this July afternoon and assembled a solo demo of a new composition, Come And Get It, that he was offering exclusively to be Apple label group the Iveys. First he sang and played the piano, then he double-tracked his vocal and shook maracas, then added drums and, finally, overlaid bass guitar. The process took less than an hour, and nine days later Paul produced the Iveys' version, almost identical to his, which - released after they changed their name to Badfinger - became a Top Five single and the main theme for the Peter Sellers/Ringo Starr movie The Magic Christian.
