PRESSING INFO: Original 1977 multi-colored vinyl 7" EP

Matrix is "77-132/3 M".

"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.

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).
