PRESSING INFO: Original late 1970's multi-colored vinyl 7" EP with a pocket type picture sleeve (opens on the right and is non-glossy cardboard). Matrix is "77-132/3 M". Rare limited pressing put out to promote the LP of the same name (all the material on this is the same as the LP). Info shown is from "Hot Wacks".

CONDITION (CVR/7"): VG++ (very minor handling bends and light wear on the corners, no splits or ringwear of any kind, nice sleeve)/Near Mint (beautiful clean shape, however the quality of the recordings and the vinyl aren't that great, there is some surface noise - even though this is unplayed as far as I can tell - just because colored vinyl was noisy until the 80's)..

"Watching Rainbows" is a song by The Beatles recorded on 14 January 1969 during the massive Get Back sessions at Twickenham Studios. It features John Lennon on lead vocal and electric piano, Paul McCartney on lead guitar, and Ringo Starr on drums; bass guitar is absent from the song because Paul McCartney is playing the absent George Harrison's usual role as lead electric guitar. George Harrison had temporarily left the group at this stage of the sessions.

John Lennon created Watching Rainbows towards the end of the Beatles era. It is more of an improvisation than a composition. In January of 1969 the Beatles recorded songs for the so-called Get Back project, which never materialized, except for some takes used on the Let It Be album, which came out a year later. Harrison had withdrawn from the group (temporarily), and so Lennon, McCartney and Starr met at the Twickenham studios for several lengthy sessions. On January 14, John started singing Watching Rainbows, accompanying himself on the electric piano. Instead of playing bass, Paul came in on lead guitar. The tune emerged as the trio were going over two other Lennon songs: Mean Mr. Mustard (which would come out on Abbey Road), and Madman (later shelved).

Musicologists find analogues in this song to McCartney's I've Got a Feeling because their structures are so similar. One of the repeated lines in the song, "standing in the garden, waiting for the sun to shine," is almost verbatim from I Am the Walrus, considered by many to be Lennon's finest effort as a song writer. The recorded version seems to have vestiges of Mean Mr. Mustard as well, perhaps because the composer is the same and because the three played Watching Rainbows right after having rehearsed the other.

The recorded track is relatively long (4:50). It was not made part of Let It Be, nor was it released in any of the subsequent compilations.
