Dig It (Beatles Song)
"Dig It" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1970 album ''Let It Be''. The song is credited to Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/ Starkey, and is one of the few songs to be credited to all of the Beatles. This song and the 39-second "Maggie Mae" appear on the ''Let It Be'' album, but are excluded from the '' Let It Be... Naked'' album, instead being replaced with " Don't Let Me Down". Glyn Johns' May 1969 version of the album, then titled ''Get Back'', had a four-minute excerpt of "Dig It", which was later reduced to the much shorter version in the final album. Recording Several versions were recorded during the ''Get Back''/''Let It Be'' sessions, on 24, 26, 27, 28, and 29 January 1969, at Apple Studio.

A segment of the jam session, 4 minutes and 30 seconds in length, appears in the documentary film ''L ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''CriterionCast'' has suggested that the album's composition was influenced by Frank Zappa's '' Lumpy Gravy'' album.
