White Album Sessions, Compilation, Compilation

Set 1
YER BLUES (8'46) - Recorded at "Rock'n Roll Circus" on December, 1968. Includes extended jam at end. Jet engine noise has been edited onto front of track.
SPIRITUAL REGENERATION / HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAKE LOVE (2'27)

CHILD OF NATURE (2'34)
SEXY SADIE (2'18)
JULIA (3'35)
CRY BABY CRY (2'25)
DEAR PRUDENCE (4'34)
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS (3'17) - This is not the same version on the Yellow Dog Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 7 or on the Artifacts Box set. This version fades out with George continuously playing an arpegio on his acoustic guitar, but never plays that final chord evident on the other versions. Given that the version on the Yellow Dog release is "Studio take 1", then this must be alternate version or studio demo. Definately not May 1968 demo version.
THE CONTINUING STORY OF BUNGALOW BILL (2'40)
I'M SO TIRED (3'07)
EVERYONE HAD A HARD YEAR (1'31) Lennon demo late 1968.

WHAT'S THE NEWS, MARY JANE (2'35)
YER BLUES (3'23) - Rocorded at "Rock'n Roll Circus" on December, 1968.
YER BLUES (reprise) (1'25) - Rock & Roll Circus rehearsal. Sourced from L.P., with crackles. Mainly instrumental with the occational Lennon guide vocals being able to be heard. Unfortuneately the track fades out after about 1'25".

DON'T LET ME DOWN (2'55) - John's demo with acoustic guitar late 1968.

HEATHER (1'48) - Boring Macca track played to Donavan. Source taken from a bootleg L.P. (Most likely side B of " ABBEY ROAD No.3").

A CASE OF THE BLUES (2'51") - John's demo with acoustic guitar late 1968.

THE MAHARISHI SONG (3'09) - John singing with Yoko about the India trip. Slightly amusing. Sourced from L.P. with some crackles & pops.
NOT GUILTY (version 1) (0'47) - Goerge's demo with acoustic guitar with fading-out far too early.
NOT GUILTY (version 2) (3'20") - Recorded at the Abbey Road Studio July/August 1968. One of the final mixed versions available on bootlegs, which is the same version on "UNSURPASSED MASTERS Volume 6".
OB-LA-DI OB-LA-DA (2'47") - Reggae version recorded at the Abbey Road Studio July/August 1968.
WHAT'S THE NEWS, MARY JANE (6'31") - Recorded at the Abbey Road Studio July/August 1968. Full version including Lennon's amusing comment at the end (i.e. about being taken away). Sourced from L.P. with some crackle evident.
