TIL Scottish band White Trash (aka Trash) released a recording of Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight a week before the Beatles' Abbey Road, the only time a Beatles cover came out before the original.
The band issued only four tracks on two singles on Apple; both A-sides were covers: Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Road to Nowhere", and Paul McCartney's "Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight"; although Trash's version was released a week before the Beatles' version on their forthcoming album Abbey Road.[1][2] The single "Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight" made the top 40, but the band disappeared shortly after. The single was included on the multi-artist compilation Come and Get It: The Best of Apple Records in 2010.
