Info about song
"Cry Baby Cry" is followed by a very short unrelated song performed by McCartney, whose most prominent line is "Can you take me back?" appearing directly before "Revolution 9". This separate song does not appear in the sleeve track listing, on the label, or in the lyrics sheet included with the album. For many years, the origins of the fragment were unknown, but Beatles' historian Mark Lewisohn revealed that "Can You Take Me Back" is actually part of "take 19" of Paul's song, "I Will," recorded on 16 September 1968.[4] According to Lewisohn, the full take lasted 2:21, and just a fragment was included on the LP.[5] Immediately following this track, a short and barely audible conversation takes place between producer George Martin and Alistair Taylor, Brian Epstein’s personal assistant. Taylor is apologising to Martin, apparently for neglecting to bring a bottle of wine for him to the session. While this was included as part of the track for "Cry Baby Cry" on some CD releases, the conversational part is the beginning of "Revolution 9."[6] Also, at the end of "Come Together" on the Love soundtrack, the song segues into "Can You Take Me Back", backed by the Eleanor Rigby strings. The entire version of the song is featured on several bootlegs. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
