The 1968 Demos

~ Release by The Beatles (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

This 1994 release appears to be an italian reissue of some previous bootlegs (as seen here : http://www.moptop.org/music/docs/beatles/boots/cd/tgpcd094.htm). Artwork says titles 1 to 15 are demo sessions at George Harrison's house, late May 1968, and titles 16 to 25 are various John Lennon demos, from May to December 1968. Track 26 doesn't appear on artwork in anyway.
