Aside from "Try Some, Buy Some", the first songs selected were ones that Harrison had routined for "All Things Must Pass" but not used: "You" and "When Every Song Is Sung". The latter was originally titled "Whenever" and was intended for Shirley Bassey, and Harrison had written "You" as what he called "a Ronettes sort of song". The other tracks recorded were "Lovely La-De-Day" (or "Loverly Laddy Day"), written by Toni Wine, an associate of Spector; a Harrison–Spector collaboration titled "Tandoori Chicken"; and, according to Madinger and Easter, "I Love Him Like I Love My Very Life". In a 1987 interview with "Musician" magazine, Harrison spoke of Spector supplying songs for the project, one of which was "very good, in his pop vein".
