From back of jacket: The earliest track appearing in this compilation is an alternate take of Cold Turkey (being as this track comes from the only known acetate some ticks and pops are audible--it does not represent a defect in the record). Mind Games is an alternate take with a rough vocal. Tight A$ is the original demo. One Of The Boys (Take 2) is a Dakota recording of an unreleased song. The remainder of this volume highlights teh Double Fantasy/Milk And Honey era. Four demos are featured: Dear Yoko (recorded in Bermuda; double tracked vocals & guitar); I Don't Wanna Face It (on guitar); I'm Steeping Out (with guitar and drum machine); Watching The Wheels (recorded at the Dakota with John on the piano). The version of Woman on side one demonstrates how the song sounded in John's vocal booth during it's preliminary run-throughs. This track is preceded by some candid banter between John and those present in the studio with him. John waxes nostalgic over the old days in the studio with George Martin, etc. The version of woman that closes the album is a studio outtake. Note on Coverbackside: "Jacket printed in Canada".
