LET IT BE ![]()
Two of the earliest Lennon/McCartney songs are “One After 909” and “Hello Little Girl”, both written primarily by John Lennon; Wikipedia says that they date from 1957. “One After 909” was included on the Beatles’ very last album, Let it Be and was also performed during the famous rooftop concert that is included in the film, Let it Be.

A tape of this early acetate of Let it Be made its way to America and was played on several US radio stations; it was later pressed into the bootleg album called Kum Back – as with The Greatest Group on Earth by the Rolling Stones, there are multiple editions of the album, though the title Kum Back is used consistently throughout as far as I know. While live concerts are almost always performed after the studio album comes out, Kum Back was made available many months before either the rooftop concert film called Let it Be was broadcast or Let it Be the album was released (they came out a few days apart in May 1970).
