CommentKinfauns. White Album Outtakes, May 20-29, 1968.
Note on back cover:
Kinfauns was George?s comfortable little one-story house in Esher, outside of London. It was there that the Beatles gathered sometime during May 20-29 of 1968, using George?s four-track Ampex reel-to-reel to tape acoustic group demos of the many songs they?d written while at the Maharishi?s ashram in Rishikesh, India.
Text on back of sleeve:
During their stay at the Maharishi?s ashram in Rishikesh, India in the early spring of 1968, the Beatles had written an unprecedented number of new songs. While late April and early May were busily spent launching Apple, the first sessions for their new LP (later to become known as ?The White Album?) were looming.
All these acoustic group demos were recorded sometime during May 20-29, 1968, when all four Beatles gathered at Kinfauns, George?s comfortable little one-story house Esher, not far outside of London. Derek Taylor?s name is mentioned during the sessions, and he may have been running George?s four-track Ampex reel-to-reel, on which these historic performances were preserved.
Four sources were used to compile this release: the CD?s ?Anthology 3? Apple/Capitol 34451, ?The 1968 Demos? Genuine Pig 094, and ?Unsurpassed Demos? Yellow Dog 008 and the LP ?Lost Lennon Tapes No. 9? Bag 5081.
Each track was painstakingly (and digitally) pieced together by the Silent Sea engineers, using whichever speed- and volume-corrected sources produced the best and most complete finished track.
