Other improvisations recorded during the "Get Back" sessions

“Woman Where You Been So Long” is an improvisation played by Paul McCartney and George Harrison, on January 7, 1969, during the “Get Back” sessions.

From Drugs, Divorce and a Slipping Image – The Complete, Unauthorized Story of The Beatles’ ‘Get Back’ Sessions by Doug Sulpy:

George takes over on bass guitar, but this leads to nothing more than a few minutes of jamming, first on the boogie-woogie “Woman Where You Been So Long,” and then “Oh Julie, Julia,” a ‘50’s flavored rocker reminiscent of Little Richard’s “Lucille,” both with improvised vocals from Paul.
