Tommorrow Never Knows(John Lennon / Paul
McCartney)
Originally called Mark 1, this was the first song the Beatles
recorded for the Revolver Album., 6th April 1966. This is an early
mix with the lead vocal and tape loops featured more
prominently
Rain (John Lennon / Paul
McCartney)
This is bassically the official version. Dubbed directly off
the original 4-track master tape and thus sounding better than before.
The same goes fot the next track....
Paperback Writer (John Lennon / Paul
McCartney)
Again the released version, preceded by an aborted intrumental
first take, recorded like Rain in April 1966.
For No One (John Lennon / Paul
McCartney)
Here, There And Everywhere (John Lennon / Paul
McCartney)
These two tracks are so called Control Room Monitor mix
recordings. This means thay are off-line recordings during the prelimary
mixing of a song. The Beatles ofthe recorded their sessionsw this way
for home listening using portable cassette-recorder. By doing so, they
unintedtionally preserved some mixes which were subsequently lost on
the EMI mulit-tracks. Here are two examples from the Revolver
mixing-sessions, June 1966.
Strawberry Fields Forever (John Lennon / Paul
McCartney)
This is the first simple studio-take of what was later to
become a psychedelic master-piece, 24th November
1966.
A Day In The Life (John Lennon / Paul
McCartney)
An excerpt from the first take, as featured in the Sgt. Pepper
TV-documentary, pieced together with an early rough mix of the best
take. Withoout orchestra overdub and with wrong McCartney vocal. Recorded
January 1967.
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (John Lennon / Paul
McCartney)
A short bit from an early take, again taken from the Sgt.
Pepper TV-documentary.
It´s All Too Much (George
Harrison)
The Beatles let loose ,where Gcorge Martin wasn't loohing.
This is the complete. unedited 8:20 -freakout version as recorded in
May 1967.
The Fool On The Hill (John Lennon / Paul
McCartney)
The first studio take, Paul on piano, 6th September
1967.
Ariel Tour Instrumental (John Lennon / Paul McCartney / George
Harrison / Richard Starkey)
Take 1 - just Paul on piano and vocal accompanied by Ringo on
drums, August 1967
The "Fairground"- like version (Paul on Organ) was propably recorded inlate 1967 during Magical Mystery Tour sessions. It was the first time that Paul played this new composition to the other Beatles.
Across The Universe (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
This acoustic version ws rescued from another monitor-mix recording, February 1968.
Not Guilty (George Harrison)
One of the few unreleased Beatles-songs left in the vaults of EMI. This is the Beatles -version of a George Harrison song. Recorded in August 1968 for the White Album, a great song with great big guitars
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
An early take and a different arrangement based on acoustic guitar rather than paino. Recorded in July 1968.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps (George Harrison)
A beautiful unplugged first take played by only George - with only a bit of organ in the background - 15the July, 1968
Happiness Is A Warm Gun (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
This is basically the official version but with unused organ and piano-overdub, September 1968.

An early mix with different Lennon-Vocal as well as unused lead guitar and organ overdub, 8th October 1968
What´s The New, Mary Jane (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
And now on to more weirdness by John & Yoko. An unreleased freak-out song originally intended for the White Album, August 1968. Of the other Beatles, only George helped out.
Jude (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
Rehearsal take 9, with only Paul, John and Ringo playing and no bass. Recorded 29th July 1968
Revolution No. 9 (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
An alternate mone mix created by John, very different to the released version, particulary towards the end.

We don´t say Good Night as on the White Album but Goodbye with this charming acoustic Paul McCartney-recording. Paul McCartney wrote this song especially for Apple-Artist Mary Hopkin and taped this demo for her in late 1968.
