Yeah pretty cool. From the demos they did at George's house in Esher before the White Album.

Not recorded for the White Album, John later changed the lyrics and recorded it for the Imagine album - Retitled 'Jealous Guy'.

I never knew that was a 1968 song. All the music and melody was exactly the same. That's what amazes me.

It was a good call losing the lyric in favor of the heartwrenching "Jealous Guy" lyrics...but, wow, what a great song to just throw away for awhile. Never heard anything else like it before or since, but it STILL misses the cut---on a double album. Sheesh, that's just burgeoning creative talent...
