Lead on Carry That Weight

Does anyone know for CERTAIN who is playing lead on Carry That Weight / The End (Abbey Road)? The style is Lennon, but the playing, with all due respect to JL, a bit too smooth / accomplished. Maybe it's in the liner notes -- I've got the MoFi LP with me today, which does not indicate track lineups.

Thanks.

I always thought Clapton was playing on that.

They trade leads. First is McCarntey, second is Harrison and Lennon is third, then they repeat. There is an alternate explanation of Harrison, Clapton and McCartney, but if you listen closely, you'll know it's not true.

Wasn't George the most accomplished of the 3 on guitar??
Also I thought Clapton only played on the White album??

If you are not already familiar with it; there is a book called "Beatles Songs" that is interesting. It pretty much goes through every song they ever recorded and lists who played what, and who wrote what. It also gives comments, recording info, etc. Only for the hardcore Beatle head.............
