Glyn Johns worked like a dog from April to December piecing together whatever he could from the EMI vaults, The White Album demos/sessions and other bits from the Lady Madonna and Abbey Road sessions. Paul trying to match John's promise of minimum solo overlap lent both sides of his latest single since they were not slated for an album, and George lent some unreleased tunes and alternate takes. Only Ringo, who was strapped for lack of material, sent previously released songs from Sentimental Journey plus an outtake from the Beaucoup of Blues sessions. The resulting collage, know as The Black Album, would truly be considered as the last “real” Beatles' album since most of the cuts were recorded as a group. The album paralled both The White Album and Abbey Road featuring alternate versions, demos, and "new" songs. The chaotic Mary Jane segwayed into Ringo’s George Martin produced Dream, much in the same way as Revolution #9 relayed surrealistically into Goodnight. Then when you think it is all over, much in the way Her Majesty “interrupted” The End (literally), this time the Beatles end by saying Goodbye…well the first of many goodbyes. Glyn Johns edited Paul’s acoustic ditty to remove the female gender tone of the Mary Hopkins demo. The Beatles by now had all put out their solo efforts and were hinting in public that the band as the world knew it no longer existed.

Even though it was released too late for the Christmas rush, the Black Album stayed number one worldwide for months, outselling the solo efforts. The fans loved the rawness the most and there was still a faint hope for the survival of the group. Production was minimal, but it worked.

The First Single: Come and Get It:

During this period, there was much argument over releasing a single, since it was really solo product. The stuff out of the Beatle vaults was just not single material, although What’s The News Mary Jane was nearly released as an “A” side.

Since Paul had recorded Come and Get It as an official Beatle session (although he was the only musician on it), and was already a proven hit, it was chosen as the “A” side to coincide with the release of Black. The “B” side was a similar sounding Remember, which had originated as a Beatle jam at the end of Something, and featured Ringo on drums. To include George in the mix, he reluctantly agreed to overdub guitars on Come and Get It. He couldn’t make the scheduled session, and the 45 sleeve had already been printed up, with credit to George on lead guitar, but it was pressed without his input to meet deadlines. The single barely cracked the top ten in the US, Canada and the UK, probably because it sounded so close to the Badfinger version. A Harrison lead guitar would have made it different, and probably would have hit #1.
