I Shall Be Released
From BeatlesWiki
I Shall Be Released is a song by Bob Dylan. George and John covered it during the Get Back sessions in January 1969. The song was not yet released at the time The Beatles covered it. George knew it because he had gotten a copy of Dylan's album The Basement Tapes, the album it was included on, when he was at Dylan's house around Christmas 1968. He must have let John listen, as John is somewhat familiar with the song.
