 * The Beatles release new single, a double A-side, Something/Come Together. With both tracks coming from Abbey Road it is the first single release by the group to feature songs that were already available on an album. Previously, all singles were either standalone releases, or came out before or on the same day as the parent album. It is also first Beatles single to have a George Harrison song on the A-side.
