He was asked to deliver a few songs for Magic Christian but since he was working on Abbey Road, he produced a few songs by Badfinger – this one, Rock of All Ages (a Ham, Evans, Gibbins song) and Carry On ’til Tomorrow (Ham, Evans).
Paul has never talked about this song in regards to it being a possible Beatles track (as far as I’ve ever heard or read).

Did he try to push for it as a Beatles song or was it always though of/intended as a song for another group, either Badfinger or someone else?

Tom Evans’ voice is marvelous on this track. Very glad that this song served to get Badfinger in front of the record-buying public, and all glad for all the great songs (beyond the singles) from Badfinger.

Put “Come and get it” would be a miracle for Abbey Road. I think it’s one of of the Paul’s biggest sin we’ll never hear it on Abbey Road.

Could you imagine them at this time not having more mainstream pop songs that Paul was pushing an album dominated by John’s political/drug/diary songs or George’s mystical Wha Wha Isn’t it a Pity songs. Thank god Paul and George Martin were around to whip up a few songs and some fragments into a cohesive whole lp .

Maxwell’s…like SO many of Pauls post beatles songs…is pedestrian song writing at best.

It’s an ok song but I definitely wouldn’t place it in the calibre of any song on Abbey Road. I think they made the right decision to exclude it

I was eleven when it came out. I was arguing with my older sister about that song, insisting it was the Beatles. She knew better.

I was 6yrs old. I had heard songs like Lady Madonna, Hey Jude and Let It Be. I honestly,for years, thought that Badfingers version was a Beatles song.
