Only A Northern Song

(Harrison)

Song background
Originally recorded for Sgt. Pepper, George wrote "Only A Northern Song" as a sarcastic, biting comment about his contributions to Beatles albums. He once complained, "Sometimes I had songs that were better than some of their songs and we'd have to record maybe eight of theirs before they'd even listen to one of mine." The company that handled the publishing for the Beatles music was Northern Songs.
