You Never Give Me Your Money - Remastered 2009

When The Beatles realized the British government was collecting most of their earnings in taxes, they expressed their frustration with "Taxman," a track from their 1966 Revolver album. Three years later, they had more money problems, this time driven by internal affairs. When their manager Brian Epstein died in 1967, they were burdened with handling their own finances, which became a source of tension in the band and led to some disastrous business dealings, including the Apple Boutique. Paul McCartney responded with "You Never Give Me Your Money," where he expresses his own fiscal frustration.

This is the first of a medley of songs on Abbey Road, which goes another 15 minutes to "The End."

By 1969, members of The Beatles had a lot of unfinished song ideas, which they sometimes combined. This contains fragments of four songs put into one.
