Studio rehearsals, alternate takes & unreleased songs played during the 'Abbey Road
Studio Tours' July 18 - Sept. 11 1983. The tours were audithisual shows presented by Sornethili
EMI at Abbey Road Studios and were open to the public. The songs were recorded off R: .n . ) 1
speakers so the quality suffers a bit. A video of the show also circulates among collec- 5: Pr'C
tors. It is believed that much of the studio material to appear on bootlegs a few years
later originated from this period. At the time of its release, this set was a revelation for
collectors and a precursor of bootlegs to come. The cover is double fold and is in black

The tracks on this disc are from an off-line recording taped from studio monitors during
the preliminary mix. The Beatles often recorded their sessions in this manner to be taken
home as reference tapes. Across The Universe is John alone on guitar. The REVOLVER
cuts feature Paul on some alternate mixes. Lady Madonna is an unused backing track
)n. . ocals) being played over the monitors with Paul adding vocals while listening to the track in the
control room. Happiness Is A Warm Gun and the takes of I'm So Tired appeared on
yal Albert NOTHING BUT AGING. There is some tape drag on the takes of I'm So Tired. Overall,
a very nice disc with new versions of these songs in a way we have not heard before.

Hey Jude here is a previously unheard version. It is probably from July 30, 1968, and

What's this? A bootleg sampler disc? Clever idea. Strawberry Records (a subsidiary of
Yellow Dog Records) hyped some upcoming releases with this very cool sampler. The
disc features solo and group songs (slightly edited to prevent them from being boot-
legged by someone else) which would be featured on Strawberry's new releases as well
as new Orange Records, Yellow Cat and Yellow Dog Records. This disc sold out quick-
ly and became a highly sought after release. Laugh is available only on this disc and was
meant for an unreleased Lennon/Ono album to be called UNFINISHED MUSIC #3. Al
the time of this book the two Beatles tracks (from LET TT BE rehearsals) had yet to see
the light of day.

small cult following formed around this record during the Eighties. Members were said to
have created a "magic chant" from the song's refrain - believing that the chant would
release them from the bonds of earthly existence. Members wore masks of disfigurement
during their ceremonies and danced naked around bonfires in the woods near Racine,
Wisconsin. It is unknown what became of the Mary Jane Cultists. Here are the lyrics to
Mary Jane:

She looks as an African queen,

She eating her chapatis and cream,
She tastes as Mogolian lamb,
She coming from Aldebaran.
1.1 What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party.
She'd like to be married with Yeti,
He's grooving such cookie spaghetti,
She jumping as Mexican bean
To make that her body morphine.
What a shame Mary Jand had a pain at the party.

She making with Apple and contracts.

and had to be redone. Unfortunately, the first discs did not come with a money back guar- S:

affects the high-ends of the music. The affect is most noticeable on very expensive equip-

without the de-noise system. The debate rages over this issue and probably will for years.

A mixture of previously released and new songs. A worthy disc but it could have been
better if they had left off the SESSIONS tracks and replaced them with new ones. Still,
if you don't have SESSIONS or the Condor discs, then this is a good buy.

The final five cuts are common alternate mixes. Why anyone would go to the bother of
remixing these tracks is beyond me. This disc is nearly as bad as FORETASTE. I've list-
