Not included on the original '73 LP release, this working demo from a pre-studio home session is to my ears superior in every sense to the final recorded version. But you knew I'd say that, right ?
Of course, most of the time "sorry" doesn't cut the mustard. But just as often, it's all that's left which can be said.

Sorry is over-rated, I hardly ever mean it or perhaps I do at the time but shortly after wards I slip back into my old ways.
Sorry......, oh there I go again.
Well put, Löst Jimmy. Yes. Sorry is an inanity. Still, it covers a multitude of sins.
A real gem this version and one of many others Lennon did as covers. Though I do share your enthusiasm for this particular demo, I have to confess that the studio verion, with a dagger through the heart lead in the middle, absolutely slays me upon each listen.
Thanks for the pointer, WZJN. I will reinvestigate the definitive version with an ear for just that.
