I found the film Let It Be to be depressing as hell. The contrast of that gloomy approach to a view of them being relaxed, laughing, and cutting up is wonderful to see. I have no doubt they loved one another, but I believe the contract stipulations from that time period forced them to spend more time together in the studio than with their own families.
It’s only natural that they had music they wanted to put out on their own that wouldn’t be allowed as a “Beatle’s song.” Case in point would be While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Harrison and Clapton spent time after it was recorded tweaking (“flanging,” I believe they called it back then) Clapton’s guitar playing in order to make it sound more like a Beatles-sounding song. My Sweet Lord, Isn’t it a Pity, and I THINK All Things Must Pass were outright rejected by the others to be worked on to be included in a Beatles album. Isn’t It A Pity had been around since at least 1966 and was rejected for either Revolver or Rubber Soul. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, please.
I can’t WAIT to see this!! I’ve had bootlegs from this era and it would be nice if they released them ALL to supplement what they released with the new super deluxe box set that just came out.

For some reason, it never occurred to me that they could use this as a "new" album release opportunity, and yet that happens all the time. Wow!

I don't remember if those songs were left off or which albums, but even today I still think George was not as good of a writer as John and Paul, at least consistently. I love the Beatles and like almost all of their 213 official songs, but outside of several standouts from George most of his entries were subpar (compared to J&P) IMO. However, when he was at his songwriting best he was as good as J&P though.
The best Beatles songs from George IMO are:
Something
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Here Comes the Sun
Taxman
Blue Jay Way
His others just weren't in the same league IMO.

I’m not a huge Beatles fan, but a fan nonetheless. George has written a good bit of my favorite Beatles songs:
Something
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I, Me, Mine
Here Comes the Sun
Taxman
