The 1969 Get Back (Glyn Johns mix) was never intended to come out.

It WAS intended to come out. Rolling Stone & The Beatle Book had contemporary articles, at the time, showing the Glyn Johns track listing as final and reviewing the cuts. That's why acetates escaped to many US radio stations, which immediately started playing it & were hit with cease & desist orders. Packaging was prepared (like the Get Back book included in the early UK pressings of the Let It Be box set--that's why it's called Get Back & not Let It Be)(I don't think that the wooden box & coloring book that were also supposed to be included were ever made). The Beatle Book was just about the closest thing to hearing it from the horse's mouth, and THEY weren't regarding it as a rough mix. They considered it to be the next Beatles LP.
