34 section links turn up across 207 Beatles recordings. 123 of them have intro based on verse, the commonest, ahead of 122 with outro based on verse and 88 with chorus variation. 'Martha My Dear' and 'Two of Us' are two of the 123. Two of the 34 section links turn up on one record only, intro based on interlude (on 'Come Together') and outro based on refrain (on 'Yer Blues'). Section links are there from the first sessions to the last, and 1969 has more of them than any other year, 24 of the 34. The rarest is interlude based on chorus, on two, 'Birthday' and 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)'.
