In late-May 1968 (the exact date not known) the Beatles came together at 'Kinfauns', George Harrison's home in Esher. One by one, first John, then George, then Paul, they recorded 23 of their newest compositions by double-tracking themselves on George's Reel-to-Reel-tape-machine.
These songs, most of whom were written during the Beatles' two-month-stay on a meditation-course in Rishikesh, India, February-April, 1968, were subsequently recorded for the 'White Album'. But not all of them made it onto vinyl and thus remain unreleased (at least as Beatles'versions).
Judging by the outcome of this session, it must have been a very sunny and relaxing day. Spring certainly was in the air (and a bit of pot maybe too).
Just accompanied by their acoustic guitars John, Paul and George recorded very charming and joyful early versions of their newest tunes.
Sometimes slightly out-of-sync with their own double-tracking but who cares?
Spontanity counts!
Had this session been recorded 25 years later it would have been a bonafide MTV-Unplugged performance!
But as it is, this 1968 session remained in the vaults until now!

We proudly present this tape to you in the correct running order and in the best possible sound (two generations away from the acutal master-tape).
Enjoy!
The short acoustic bit of "Helter Skelter" was recorded on 11th June, 1968 at Abbey Road studios.
The last two tracks were recorded in India.
The light atmosphere of these musical snippets set the tone for the "Kinfauns"-session.
