I think the copy thats been heavily booted is from Johns archive whereas as DrBeatle said the Anthology came from George's. The demo's are wonderful to listen to and should be granted an official release. Instead we'll get an official cat apron - so your cat doesnt get food all down it when eating or drinking. It'll play a 30 beatles tune and cost £254. Bargain.

God knows how many generations John's tape is...shame they didn't just release them all from George's source, it sounds pristine!

Yeah, it's long been one of my favorite bootlegs. The thing is, as good as it sounds, the versions of the demos on Anthology 3 sound SO MUCH BETTER...they must've had George's original source tape.

Yup. It's a pretty common bootleg. It's also among the best-sounding collection of demos out there. Just John, Paul & George each individually playing into George's tape-recorder with the new songs they were working on. What's most amazing is how fully realized these songs all were.

I have a CD of a bunch of songs John, Paul, and George recorded at George's home after they came home from Rishikesh. I think it sounds pretty good, and it's all voices and acoustic guitar. The last two songs, as it says in the notes, were recorded in India--Spiritual Regeneration and Rishikesh No. 9, the latter of which seems to be a bunch of group sing-alongs jumbled together. Anyone else have this?

Yup, that's cute little Mary.

Mary has one of the most famous baby pictures in popular history!

Is this the picture of Mary looking though the glass you were referring to? I just saw this on tumblr:

Yep that's the one. Do you think that's the same kid that's in Paul's jacket on the cover of his first album? Who was that anyway...?

Here's the cover of that Ram songbook:

The isolated drum track video was very interesting to listen to. I never even knew that the piano near the end existed. *facepalm*

Don't hit yourself too hard, I didn't know it either. I was all like: ''HUH SINCE WHEN IS THERE A PIANO IN THIS?!''

Music is so good for the soul. I love those video's from "Wingspan" on their farm in Scotland, when Mary is little and she's running around with Heather while Paul and Linda are jamming.

Years ago I purchased the Ram songbook -- it's yellow like the album cover but has a different design -- a yellow guitar -- and full of pictures inside I've never seen elsewhere (it's probably a collector's item). The writing and titles inside also look handwritten, perhaps by Paul and/or Linda.

There's ...
