The acoustic demos for the White Album recorded at Kinfauns, George's house in Esher, Surrey, May, 1968

Liner notes from the booklet: In late-May 1968 (the exact date not known) The Beatles came together at 'Kinfauns' George Harrisons 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 where 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-sync with their own double-tracking but who cares? Spontanity counts! Had this session been recorded 25 years later it 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 actual master tape). Enjoy! The short acoustic bit of "Helter Skelter" was recorded on 11th June, 1968 at Abbey Road studios. The last two tracks were recorded in India. The light atmosphere of these musical snippets set the tone for the "Kinfauns"-session.

My comments:

A nice collection: all the Kinfauns demos and a little more. The sound quality is as good as can be expected I guess.
