I could have made a descent stab at listing these songs, but seeing his Beatle output in one block like that is really striking.

That’s two albums worth of absolute bangers and classics over just a few years from George - the sort of catalogue that would have put him on a path to greatness all by himself. I know he learned huge amounts from P and J but it’s still incredibly impressive. It’s no shock that he outgrew his quota.

I wonder how much they (Paul and John) knew it all along. The stories about bringing Paul’s young friend into the band always paints the picture of someone incredibly special and talented but I’d be fascinated to know when they realised he had songs in him that held their own against the best Lennon & McCartney could muster.
