Can you distinguish between speculation and opinion? They
"might have thought it was just not good enough for them to have a go at it. The fact is that it was given away." ... and because of that was it done too late?
If before June, 24 they had began to record just a bunch of songs (Revolution 1 and 9, Don't Pass Me By, Helter Skelter (studio demo) and Blackbird ... and none of them were George's) I think that George (and not the group -do you really think that they all decided to gave it away?-) gave Sour Milk Sea away too soon (too late? why too late?) because he could have tried to record it with the others later (to me, Come And Get It is a similar example of a song given away too soon) ... this opinion, -yours is that it's not such a good song, not better than Piggies or Savoy Truffle ... that's what I said-, is based on facts related to the time and when George's songs were recorded for the album ... curiously, Paul and Ringo played on Jackie Lomax's Sour Milk Sea ...
