Comments
This is another collection of rare versions of Beatles' songs dubbed from various legitimate releases.
It's one true rarity is "I Am The Walrus", which presents only the four Beatles playing in the studio, sans overdubs and sound effects.
This was first released as an LP picture disk with the "butcher cover" photo on side-1 and liner notes and snapshots (similar in
style to "The Beatles Rarities (U.S. Capitol SHAL 12060)" on side-2.
It is presented as a promotional issue, although its serial number is similar to that of the legitimate Capitol picture disks.
Later pressings of this disk were conventional issues on black vinyl.
