Comments:

Now obselete as the result Vigotone's release of 'From Kinfauns to Chaos', but the disc was core material for a considerable period of time. The material here sounds to me to be better than both the Yellow Dog's 'Unsurpassed Demos' and Vigotone's '1968 Demos' however I have been unable to compare with the newly released 'Kinsfauns' no label. Similarly I am unable to comment on the accuracy of the track listing.

Sleeve Notes

These sons, most of which were written during The Beatles' two month stay on a meditation course in Rishikesh, India, February - April 1968, were subsequently recorded for the 'White Album'. But not all of them made it onto vinyl and thus remain unreleased (at least as Beatles versions).

Judging by the outcome of this session, it must have been a very sunny and relaxing day. Spring certainly was in the air (and a bit of pot maybe too). Just accompanied by their acoustic guitars John, Paul and George recorded very charming and joyful early versions of their newest tunes. Sometimes slightly out of synch wit their own double tracking but who cares? Spontaneity counts.

Had this session been recorded twenty five years later it would have been a bona fide MTV - Unplugged Performance.

But as it is, this 1968 session remained in the vaults until now!!

We proudly present this tape to you in the correct running order and in the best possible sound (two generations away from the actual master tape).

Enjoy!
