Nice choices! Especially Bad to Me, I've heard it numerous times before, the problem is, I can't find a good FLAC file to download. Sour Milk Sea is also in my playlist, the intro sounds a bit like the acoustic version of One after the 909.

Agreed totally on What You're Doing; the final product sounds ultimately more original and somehow unlike anything they'd done up to that point but I wish they'd kept the shared John/Paul vocal. About the fast version of Two Of Us, I think it works better. I enjoy the Fifties rockabilly-style version in the Let It Be film more than the final product, even with Paul impersonating Elvis in the bridge.

I'm also a big fan of the Anthology version of Got To Get You Into My Life, obviously it would need a bit more building up from the sparse drums and ...

Strawberry Fields Forever Take 26. It was slowed down on the single and has a different vocal. Would have loved to have had Takes 1, 7 and 26 all together as it would have given a complete picture of how the song progressed and sounded before the editing process.

Child of Nature and Sour Milk Sea from ...

Good call on Bad to Me. I would also nominate I'm In Love, John's piano demo from 1963. Wonderful song that again would have been a standout on any early album.

I was thinking about this while posting about bootlegs, and I don't know if there's another thread out there asking the same, but what are the must-have bootleg tracks? Nothing that's commercially available, just those tracks that have stayed unreleased or whose complete versions remain unreleased (good example on that is the full-length 12-Bar Original, edited for Anthology).

My instant picks would be (in no particular order), and adding this isn't meant to be a game, just fan recommending to fan things to search out:

Revolution [take 20] - a total eyeopener. You start with what became Revolution 1 and end up ...
