Free as a Bird and Real Love appeared on Anthology for the first time in 1995, and worked on by The Threetles & Jeff Lynne.
Both were written by John Lennon in the late 70's, and they are the only 'Beatles' songs where the writing credit is John Lennon alone instead of Lennon-McCartney or all 4 Beatles.
Which do you prefer and do you think of these songs as actual Beatles songs?

For me it has to be Free As A bird, for me it feels more of a beatles song, maybe may have suited a spot on the Magical Mystery Tour album rather than Blue Jay Way, and i love the drumming and synchronized vocals. A no brainer for me.

Both are good John Lennon demos, nothing more. I think they would never have made the Beatles original catalog. Even John didn't think they were good enough to finish.

hanks that made me sad. Free As A Bird was played when my comedy group The Giggles Split. I like both songs but prefer Real Love
