“God Save The Queen” is a Beatles rooftop jam, not a full Beatles arrangement of the national anthem. That distinction matters. The fragment lasted only around 25 seconds, but it was officially released as “God Save The Queen (Rooftop Performance…

“Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying” belongs in the Beatles story, but only with careful wording. This is not an officially released Beatles recording, and it should not be confused with the unrelated Gerry and the Pacemakers hit of…
