I think the way Phil Spector segwayed (incorrect spelling, but its midnight and I got to get to bed) "Maggie Mae" as a short intro into the next was an okay maneuver.  

However, I really like it, and wonder if the complete version exists?

That seems to be the most complete version that they did. Remember they were only messing about at the time. There is another version on the Fly On The Wall disc that comes with Let It Be...Naked: Maggie Mae/Fancy Me Chances, which lasts about 50 seconds.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

Spector didn't do any 'segwaying'.
On the original vinyl album, Maggie was on the end of side one and I've Got A feeling at the beginning of side two.
Also I think the faster version is much better, so all in all Spector made a mess of it for me.

The faster version is of much poorer quality, so I don't think he had much choice.

He could have left it off!
There's lots of other fun stuff in those sesions to replace this drunk/dirgy version of a Liverpool classic.

There's very little else in the way of music that could be used. There is a lot of mucking about, and jamming, and a lot of chat. A lot of the stuff on the Fly On The Wall disc could have been incorporated into the actual album, to give it a more 'soundtrack' feel.

a complete version of Dig It with John incorporating the Let It Be song titles into it can be found on this Get Back session bootleg:

I'm not sure if this is the same Dig It jam that the album version is derived from though


It's great...it sold...it's the bloody Beatles' White Album, shut up

The coolest thing about the Fly on the Wall disc was discovering that the "Sun King" riff was originally part of "Don't Let Me Down."


Here's my book. It's funny! I promise.

if there is a completed version of Maggie Mae, I hope it never sees the light of day. John sounds like a drunken old sailor on that one...obviously a "throw-away"

Now, there is a much longer version of that!

The 'Fly On The Wall' disc comes with 'Let It Be...Naked'. So, nope. Afraid not.
