A potential track list for the postponed box set from the Beatles, expected to coincide with the  upcoming 2021  Get Back documentary, has apparently been hiding in plain sight on Spotify. A list of Beatles songs from the Let It Be/Get Back  era, titled "1969 Sessions," posted last December, has been noted by the Blue Mountain (@mojd) and the Nothing Is Real Podcast (@BeatlesPod) on Twitter. As remarked by the folks at @BeatlesPod, since the audio is not currently available for listening, it could have possibly been available briefly late last year to protect the intellectual property under the European 50 year copyright law. It could also be a hint what is planned for the upcoming box set.  The movie was set to premiere this week, but in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been postponed to next summer. Below are screen shots from Spotify: P.S. I would highly recomment the Nothing Is Real Podcast.
