Let's Go Back To The Categories

Composition
"Let's Go Back To The Categories" was about racist people. Melvin said: "It's this thing: 'let's go back to the categories'. When you want to insult someone, you see their features, the 'categories' and think: 'ah I'll insult them because of their skin colour'. So it's about that."

Recording
The song was recorded with just Melvin and George Harrison in January 1973. It was mixed the same day.
