 Lennon, usually the band's rhythm guitarist, played bass only occasionally and made several mistakes on the recording.In May 1969, Glyn Johns, who had been asked by the Beatles to compile and mix the "Get Back" album, selected the 26 January recording.Since the song had been deemed unsuitable for inclusion in the band's filmed rooftop concert on 30 January, the Beatles also taped a master version of "The Long and Winding Road" at Apple the following day.
