Rolling Stones penned song for the Beatles that the Fab Four rejected Everyone knows the Beatles wrote a song, “I Wanna Be Your Man,” for the Rolling Stones, but Richie Unterberger's “The Unreleased Beatles,” which the author told Beatles Examiner is just out in revised form in an ebook version, tells that the Stones did the same for the Beatles.
According to Unterberger, Mick Jagger revealed the existence of the song in 1965. “A long time ago, me and Keith wrote something called ‘Give Me Your Hand and Hold It Tight,’ but the Beatles wouldn’t do it. They wrote one for us as well, called ‘Outside 109’ [possibly meaning ‘One After 909,’ which the Beatles had written years before and recorded at EMI in March 1963, though they didn’t release their own version until Let It Be]. We said we wouldn’t do the song until they did ours. So nothing happened on either side. We’re still waiting.” Despite Jagger's shaky memory and the fact the song was turned down by the Beatles, it was released by Teddy Green in 1964. You can hear it on this page.
The Stones themselves recorded the song in demo form in 1964. The flip side of the demo featured the song "You're Coming Back To Me," reportedly an early version of "Tell Me (You're Coming Back To Me).
The book details rarities from both the group and solo years. “It's hard to say how many pages have been added, since pages are counted differently, and look differently in ebook form,” he said. “I do know I added about 30,000 words. Since the original book was about 300,000 words or a bit longer, and the book in print form was 400 pages, I'd say the equivalent of about 35-40 pages were added. These weren't all in one section. There's additional material, whether in new entries or expanded entries, interspersed throughout the book.”
The list of items added to the ebook also includes the Paul McCartney “World Without Love” and “I'll Follow the Sun” demos, a Beatles demo of “Misery” done for Helen Shapiro, the “Sgt. Pepper” multitrack tapes, the McCartney home recording of “Indeed I Do” and the private version of John Lennon's “Love” issued on “The John Lennon Signature Box.”
He said the revisions will only be in the ebook version. “There won't be a new paper version, as far as I know. I got the digital rights back to the book and self-published that in the revised/expanded/updated version.”
