"But as Ben points out, the Beatles are not exactly the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, or Jimi Hendrix when it comes to outtakes. "
No....but the Anthology is super annoying. They skipped a bunch of outtakes that are amazing, reedited the stuff that they did include, and were generally indulgent in all the wrong ways. grrr.
There are two early, beautiful acoustic John Lennon demos that come to mind: "Bad to Me", and a version of "If I Fell" that includes the scatted vocal hook he later used on "Imagine".
Here's "Bad to Me"

(ignore the youtube controversy over whether this is legit. It's real.)
here's "Strawberry Fields" take 1, with gorgeous harmonies they mixed out of Anthology for no good reason:

Here's a beautiful version of "All Things Must Pass," rougher yet more magical than the version on Anthology. 3 part harmonies. This runs a little fast, I think.
