A Toot and a Snore in '74 - John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder + more

A bootleg album recorded during a jam session that McCartney walked in on while Lennon was producing Harry Nilsson's album "Pussy Cats" while he was in the throes of his "Lost Weekend".  It's pretty fucking awful, which makes it so damn fucking awesome.
