Notes
Disc 1
Disc 1 joins the sessions just before 11:00 am on January 3rd (the January 2nd 
session being bypassed on this set because it was completely documented on 
Yellow Dog's "Ultimate Collection" series). This disc is highlighted by a trio 
of early Lennon-McCartney compositions (tracks 16 through 18) which are otherwise
lost, as well a slew of enjoyable "oldies" that the band often used to warm up with.
Brand new to CD are early versions of "I've Got a Feeling", "Don't Let Me Down" and
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer", and a rather provocatively-worded improvisation led by 
Paul, dubbed "You wear Your Woman Out", for lack of a more formal title.

Disc 2
Another disc which intermubgles embryonic versions of the Beatles' own compositions 
(including some fresh glimpes of "Get Back" right at its moment of genesis!) with 
excursions into their rock and roll roots. The admiration that each of the Beatles
held for the likes of Gene Vincent, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Larry Williams and 
Eddie Cochran couldn't be more evident, as they usually find more energy to play 
songs from their youth than work on their own material. It should be noted that 
tracks 1 and 9, while not necessarily "new", are far, far more complete here than
on previous issues.
