"Come Together" Take 1

On July 21 1969, a John Lennon composition was attempted at EMI studio 3 with The Beatles and George Martin. "Come Together" would eventually open side one of the classic LP as yet untitled. On the Anthology 3 2 CD/3 LP, we have take 1 from these recording sessions.
The take consists of John on hand clapping, vocal and tambourine, Paul on bass, Ringo on drums and George on guitar. John is doing a guide vocal with variations on the lyrics and his voice is shot...haha.
Interestingly, this is the final song Lennon wrote specifically for The Beatles. It was originally intended to be used as a campaign song for Timothy Leary as the story goes.
