A collection of interviews, radio shows, alternate takes and alternate mixes performed by the Beatles in 1968. All comments in the track list are taken (and adapted) from the booklet of John Barrett's personal notes, covering his findings during his research in 1982 and detailing all tape and job numbers.

Track list:

1  Across The Universe  Lennon / McCartney 3:31 Take 8 - Recording started at Abbey Road on Sunday February 4th 1968 and finished on Thursday February 8th 1968. Here is Take 8 the version without the Wildlife effects for the first time ever.
2  Hey Bulldog  Lennon / McCartney  3:25 Stereo remix from Take 10 - Another first. The 1997 - 1999 remixed version from the re - release of the Yellow Submarine film. Originally recorded on Sunday February 11th 1968 in Studio Three, Abbey Road this version contains a different vocal mix from that of the original film and album release.
3  Kenny Everett Interview    13:36 Recorded by Kenny Everett on Thursday June 6th 1968 at Abbey Road, while more work on Ringo's Don't Pass Me By was taking place. This is  the full version of the interviews that Kenny taped, and they are different from the broadcast show of Sunday June 9th 1968. George is evident on this recording but was not on the Radio One airing. This clean version also differs from the Italian Apple promotional pressing titled "Una Sensazionale Intervista Dei Beatles".  The source of this recording is from Kenny Everett's private acetate collection.
4  Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da  Lennon / McCartney   2:52 Take 5 - Recorded on Wednesday July 3rd 1968 this was the basic take that further overdubs would be added to on Thursday July 4th and Friday July 5th 1968. The Beatles recorded a remake on Monday July 8th, thus rejecting this version.
5  While My Guitar Gently Weeps   George Harrison   3:13 Take 1 - A very clean version of this beautiful George Harrison composition, Recorded in Abbey Road Studio 2 on Thursday July 25th 1968. It contains an extra verse and George's comment to the control room "Let's hear that back!".
6  Frost On Sunday     20:22 John and Yoko appeared live on the fourth edition of David Frost's new interview series. Recorded and transmitted on Saturday August 24th 1968 from Studio One, Wembley Studios, Wembley. John and Yoko discussed their views about "vibrations" and about Art. The word "Beatles" scarcely came into the conversation until the end .....
7  Hey Jude (Frost On Sunday)  Lennon / McCartney 0:59 Frost On Sunday: not documented in any text before, and that includes the excellent Mark Lewisohn "The Complete Beatles Chronicle" was this first public airing of Hey Jude. As the programme's end credits appear John looks surprised that he can hear Hey Jude being played through the studio speakers. Then in typical Lennon style he joins in!!! First time ever on CD.
8  Step Inside Love   Lennon / McCartney 1:27 Recorded on Monday September 16th 1968 as an ad-lib piece from Take 35 of Paul's I Will composition.
9  Los Paranoias  Lennon / McCartney 3:54 As above - this is the complete version that differs from the Apple Anthology release.
10  The Way You Look Tonight  Lennon / McCartney 1:16 Next comes an unreleased McCartney ditty which also formed part of Take 35 of I Will.
11  Can You Take Me Back  Lennon / McCartney 1:15 Take 19 of I Will provided this untitled and uncopyrighted ditty. It was used in between Cry Baby Cry and Revolution 9 in part on The White Album, but for the first time we hear the complete run through of this another unreleased McCartney tune.
12  White Album Interview 
 - Radio Luxembourg -
  17:11 To promote the release of The Beatles (White LP) Paul gave this interview to the former Australian radio DJ Tony Macarthur. He was the new programme director of Radio Luxembourg. Recorded at Paul's house at 7, Cavendish Avenue on Wednesday November 20th 1968 it was aired the following day between 7.30 - 9.30 pm. It is interesting to hear Paul talk honestly about the songs on The White LP at the time of its release, instead of rewriting the story many years later! This is another first for CD.
