Notes: The session began with Paul working alone at the piano. Once John and Ringo arrived, the trio attempted a mix of
improvised songs, oldies, and original compositions. Highlights included Paul playing an embryonic version of "The Back Seat Of
My Car," which he would later feature on his 1971 album "Ram", and a brief piano boogie duet with Ringo, copyrighted as "Jazz Piano Song" in 1970 and included in the "Let It Be" film.

John offered fragments of his compositions "Madman" and "Watching Rainbows," neither of which progressed further, as well as a
snippet of "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)," a song The Beatles began recording in 1967 and still unreleased at this stage.

A significant moment came when John and Paul began discussing George’s absence and the group`s future. Unfortunately, Paul asked
for the cameras to be turned off, leaving no record of their conversation. The session concluded with Paul alone at the
piano, performing an early version of "Oh! Darling" and a brief version of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" for Glyn Johns to test audio equipment.

Thanks to The Paul McCartney Project for the notes.
