Improved Image Wanted

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. Both Derek Taylor and Mal Evans are mentioned during the sessions, and either may have been running George’s four-track Ampex reel-to-reel, on which these historic performances were preserved.

Two sources were used to compile this release: the officially released “Anthology 3” Apple/Capitol 34451, and the unauthorized collection "From Kinfauns To Chaos" Vigotone VT-183/184. The illustration of Kinfauns is by Roy Williams.
