I don't know if this is all from Bermuda (that's what I've heard someone say). Did John have a piano over there? He plays the piano on a lot of tracks like the Watching The Wheels versions (tracks 10 - 19 seems to be a complete demo session). The sound on the first 9 tracks is better than the sound on tracks 10 - 19 (less hi-end on this Watching The Wheels demo session) and again gets brighter on 20, 21. Track 22 is just John's remark.

I think these demos are in their most complete form here, I hear things I've never heard on the Lost Lennon Tapes (also I can't remember ever having heard Don't Be Afraid but maybe you have...)

This is a rubber stamped CD-R

sound: very good - excellent
