A previously unheard John Lennon home demo titled Little Girl has become the biggest revelation of The Beatles’ forthcoming Rubber Soul Special Edition, marking the discovery of an unknown Lennon composition that remained hidden for more than 60 years. The appearance of Little Girl (John’s Demo) on the second disc of the four-CD Rubber Soul Super Deluxe Edition represents one of the rarest discoveries in the Beatles archive. Unlike many Beatles outtakes that have circulated unofficially for years before appearing in official collections, Little Girl arrived without advance speculation. Based on information released by Apple Corps, Little Girl is not a finished Beatles recording but an early home demo. Little Girl, however, expands the Lennon and McCartney catalogue itself, offering a rare opportunity to hear an original Lennon idea that never developed into a recognised Beatles recording.
