Officially Unreleased Beatle Songs

_A list of officially-unreleased Beatle songs_

       Compiled by Bruce Precourt, version 1.0, May 1993

   (Sources: _All Together Now_ by Castleman & Podrazik, 1975,
       and _The Beatles: A Day in the Life_ by Schultheiss, 1981)

The songs are listed chronologically. The list is not comprehensive,
i.e., it does not list ALL songs from a particular session, but only
those not appearing on legitimate releases; e.g., the Decca audition
tape also included Till There Was You, Please Mr. Postman and Money,
but these appeared on later legitimate recordings.

I've tried to include only _Beatles_ songs (as opposed to solo
works), but there is understandably much uncertainty on many of the
later ones which I've never heard.
