Cool unplugged Beatles demo album

Post by Eddy Current »

This is on youtube so it is no big secret but I figured someone may not know about it yet. It is mostly rough demos of The Beatles by John, George and Paul on acoustics. It is interesting to hear how some of these songs evolved from their original state into what ended up on the album. Here's an edited version of the lengthy blurb about it:

This disc pulls together the 23 songs that Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney recorded as works-in-progress at Harrison's home in May of 1968. Most of what's here was eventually heard either on The Beatles or B-sides ("What's the New Mary Jane"), and on various bootlegs.
