| | | | Get Back - The writing process: Encyclopedia II - Get Back - Recording in the studio and on the roof In line with the concept behind the 'Get Back project', the idea was to record all songs live to get back to the rock and roll sound of their early work.

Billy Preston joined the Beatles on the electric piano from January 22, having been recruited by Harrison as a method to prevent excessive bickering among the Beatles.
