Just Fun - Complete Pre-Take
“Just Fun” is one of the very first songs written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, in late 1957 or 1958.
It remained rather obscure for decades. The Beatles played a rough version during the 'Get Back' sessions in January 1969. It only lasts for 20 or 30 seconds.
As part of the John Lennon 80th birthday celebrations on 9 October, Paul McCartney has announced that he would play the unreleased Beatles song to mark the day. And he actually sang a single verse, strumming his guitar, as part of the BBC special ‘John Lennon at 80’, which aired on October 3 and 4 between 9 and 10pm London time.
That was a great disappointed for true Beatles fans, who expected a real Beatles version that would have remained hidden in the EMI vaults. But no such recording probably exists. And that is the kind of challenge that the BDJ engineers like: re-create a long lost song from the scraps found at the bottom of the stairs of the Abbey Road studios. Our version has a 'Wings' feel to it, although it is possible that George played slide guitar.
