Comments:
Good album but nothing new; which is no surprise. It is full of rare acoustic demos and alternative takes as well as a few instrumentals.

Nice to actually find some of the Get Back (Let It Be) tracks given some individuality; instead of being effectively lost in the many hours
of recordings that exist from these sessions.

A few minor comments: On CD 1 Help! does not yet have any vocals and A Day In The Life is where John sings his parts fine but Paul is roughly 
singing to fill the space that he would later overdub his vocals.

On CD 2 Heather is from the Get Back sessions and Back In The U.S.S.R. is from the Kinfauns recording.
