“Tales Of Frankie Rabbit” is a song written by Keith Drewett and Peter Dymond, of the duo Drew And Dy.
The two young men encountered Paul McCartney in May 1968. While in a taxi, they spotted him outside the Apple Boutique, promptly exited the cab, and approached him to listen to their music. Paul invited them into the empty boutique, where they played him six of their songs.
On August 12, 1968, at Trident Studios, Drew And Dy, along with Paul McCartney, recorded three of those songs (including “Tales Of Frankie Rabbit“). Paul produced the tracks, contributed piano, and added harmonies.
These recordings were not released until their inclusion on the album “Good As Gold (Artefacts Of The Apple Era 1967-1975)” in 2021.
On the last day of the “Get Back” sessions, on January 31, 1969, Paul McCartney played a version of “Tales Of Frankie Rabbit“.
