Notes

The next set of demos from this set features – as mentioned in the review for volumes 1 and 2 – more demos compiled from the best sets of tapes that circulate in extant Beatles circles (barring the high end collectors who are privvy to such thing.)

Volume 3 concentrates specifically on the demos recorded at Kinfauns in early 1968 for the album ‘The Beatles’
Assuming you’re not already familiar with the premise, a quick recap – After a few weeks stationed in Rishikesh where the fabs plus a few members of the Beach Boys along with Prudence and Mia Farrow were supposed to be practicing Trancendental Meditation with their guru, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi . The Beatles returned home with a stock pile of brand new songs for an intended new album. The decision was made to make a day of recording, running through these tunes with a mind to see which ones would eventually appear on vinyl. Of the 26 recorded that day, 20 would be recorded for the album, the other 6 would be held back either for “Abbey Road”, given to Jackie Lomax to record ( Sour Milk Sea ), saved for a solo effort (“Junk”, “Child or Nature a.k.a. Jealous Guy or left for later still .. (“Circles” wouldn’t appear until George’s 1984 album ‘Gone Troppo’)
The demos recorded that day were oft bootlegged after their appearance on the radio series “The Lost Lennon Tapes” in the late 1980’s first appearing on the vinyl series of the same name on Bag records ( A relation of Vigotones by all accounts ) before seeing a fuller release on Yellow Dogs “Unsurpassed Masters” disk and Vigotone’s “1968 Demos” around the same time. More, less important titles followed through the years until Vigotone issued a copy apparently recorded straight from John’s mono reel on “From Kinfauns To Chaos” in 1999.

13 years later, when the “You Become Naked” set was released to the internet a flurry of excitement occured over the internet as to the fact that this set featured an upgrade to the version that appeared on “From Kinfauns ..”
The difference between the two is discernable if slight – The first 4 tracks of the disk actually appear here from the official Anthology but the rest sound just that little bit brighter and closer to my ears than the Vigotone release. The amount of bass from the tape remains the same The odds to that end are no different also this release is out of order as opposed to the “Kinfauns ..” and missing “Piggies” and a little extraneous chatter after “Bungalow Bill” so if you missed out on the original release I’d certainly recommend it but you still need the others for the one omission.

Disk two deals with the post “White Album” demos that the Beatles recorded along with a few of the off the cuff improvisations that the band allowed broadcast to in the interim running towards the event of John’s first ‘solo’ record.
