McCartney Times

The Medley section of Abbey Road was “a good way of getting rid” of leftover materials, according to John Lennon.The Beatles‘ acclaimed B-side would feature the likes of Mean Mr. Mustard and She Came In Through the Bathroom Window. But it was a chance for the group to throw away some of their unfinished tracks, according to Lennon, who says the bulk of Abbey Road‘s second side comprised songs which were not quite finished. One song in particular, Sun King, was singled out by Lennon as something he “never finished” and didn’t have any intention of finishing. Lennon says he and fellow Beatles members Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, used the B-side as a chance to rid themselves of catchy snippets that they couldn’t form into fully-fledged songs.Lennon said: “It was a good way of getting rid of bits of songs that we’d had for years. George and Ringo wrote bits of it literally in between breaks as we did it. Paul would say we’ve got twelve bars here, so let’s fill it in, so we’d fill it in on the spot.”
