The Beatles - Acoustic Masterpieces - The Esher Demos

Monday, 14 September 2009

In late may 1968 The Beatles came together at "Kinfauns", George Harrisons home in Esher. One by one, first John, then George, then Paul, recorded 23 of their newest compositions by double tracking themselves onto George's reel-to-reel.These songs were written during the Beatles' two month stay on a meditation course in Rishikesh, India and subsequently recorded on the White Album. Not all of them made it onto vinyl, thus remain unreleased at least as Beatles versions.These 1968 sessions remained in the vault until a few years ago. Sounds like a sunny, smokey day.Here is a selection you may have heard before and maybe the first time this song was played amongst the Beatles as a group. It is presented in the best possible sound.
