George Harrison visited Bob Dylan in Woodstock late November 1968. They probably listened to and played a lot of songs together. He most certainly heard a new composition I Threw It All Away (Dylan recorded this one in February 1969 for “Nashville Skyline”).
–
The Beatles had 20 recording sessions in January 1969, nine at Twickenham Film Studios and eleven at Apple Studios.
Most of the songs are fragments, but this is still a wonderful collection.
