Here's a good one:  When I was  young I came across a Beatles Bootleg 
called "The Black Album."  It was a 5 album set, I think.  Anyway it 
was just unedited tapes from the Let It Be sessions.  Amazing.  Paul 
McCartney singing "Get Back" with lyrics telling the Pakistanies to get 
out of England and stop taking all the good jobs.  No lie.  ...and he 
comes off as such a nice lad.  I'm surprised these tapes haven't hit 
the public eye at all.  It was for sure the Beatles.  Also some great 
takes of the Beatles doing "All things Must Pass" and other later to 
become solo work.
