Vocals on outro

songs
From 1965 to 1969, seven recordings have it. The first is 'Bad Boy' and the last 'Get Back'. 'If I Needed Someone' and 'I Am the Walrus' (Spoken King Lear dialogue over fade) have it too. On 'Helter Skelter' it is Ringo's "blisters on my fingers" shout on the outro. On 'Bad Boy': spoken band-name shout-out and final tag. Of those, 'Helter Skelter' carries Bartell fretless guitar as well, which only two of their recordings do.
