During their stay at the Maharishi’s ashram in Rishikesh, India in the
early spring of 1968, the Beatles had written an unprecedented number of
new songs. While late April and early May were busily spent launching
Apple, the first sessions for their new LP (later to become known as
“The White Album”) were looming.

All these acoustic group demos were recorded sometime during May 20-29,
1968, when all four Beatles gathered at Kinfauns, George’s comfortable
little one-story house Esher, not far outside of London. Derek Taylor’s
name is mentioned during the sessions, and he may have been running
George’s four-track Ampex reel-to-reel, on which these historic
performances were preserved.

Four sources were used to compile this release: the CD’s “Anthology 3”
Apple/Capitol 34451, “The 1968 Demos” Genuine Pig 094, and “Unsurpassed
Demos” Yellow Dog 008 and the LP “Lost Lennon Tapes No. 9” Bag 5081.
Each track was painstakingly (and digitally) pieced together by the
Silent Sea engineers, using whichever speed- and volume-corrected
sources produced the best and most complete finished track.
