order
2. Blackbird (Lennon/McCartney) 2:37
features a double-tracked vocal, no break, natural bird
sounds and a slightly slower pace than the studio version

this early version is significantly shorter lacking the opening
and closing verses

lacks the picked intro of the finished version
7. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (Lennon/McCartney) 3:18
