Notes from the cover:  

In late May 1968 (the exact date not known) The Beatles came together at 'Kinfauns'.  George Harrison's home in Esher. One by one, first John, then George, then Paul, they recorded 23 of their newest compositions by double-tracking themselves on George's Reel to Reel tape machine.

These songs, most of whom were written during the Beatles'  two month stay on a meditation course in Rishikesh, India, Feb. - 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-sync with their own double tracking but who cares?  Spontanaity counts!

Had this session been recorded 25 years later it would have been a bonafide 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 master tape).

Enjoy!
