The Palace of the King of the Birds

"The Palace Of The King Of The Birds" is a song by The Beatles written by Paul McCartney and recorded by the band during the Get Back/Let It Be album sessions from 6–9 January 1969 at Twickenham Film Studios.[1] The song is a five-minute jam (the 6 January session is fourteen minutes long),[2] and was recorded with the demo of "Carry That Weight". Distant rehearsing of the lines "Boy, you're gonna carry that weight" can be heard before the jam starts. This song was later forgotten, until McCartney recorded a still unreleased version, in his solo recordings, named "Castle Of The King Of The Birds", for the unreleased album Rupert The Bear.[1]
