Please NOTE:
Some of my PHOTOS suffer from LOW LIGHT lighting conditions (due to very cloudy / rainy days recently).
This causes unavoidable grain and spottiness in image, particularly on dark covers / labels and especially the vinyl.
I apologize for that and assure all bidders that such grain/spots are Digital Artifacts only - are not actually present
on these LP Covers / labels / vinyl themselves at all  - and DO NOT properly represent the true condition.
My camera simply is not able to resolve fine detail in low light ...especially on the vinyl grooves.

In any such case, please always refer to the written grade and description for accurate condition details.
*some of the vinyl is appearing like unearthed ancient archeological artifacts or mars-scapes (!)
If this could have been at all avoided it would have been. ...hopefully new camera soon!

Please see my FEEDBACK and bid with complete confidence.

The final 3 record installment of the Anthology series includes a treasure-trove of previously unreleased material from the WHITE ALBUM era, rounded out by unheard tracks from ABBEY ROAD and LET IT BE sessions, through the group's demise in early 1970. In terms of sheer listenability, this may be the strongest volume of the three, if only because it focuses almost solely on studio recordings rather than mixing live concerts/broadcasts and outtakes. Also, by this time the Beatles had perfected their approach to recording, so that even the early/alternate versions of many of their cuts were often of outstanding quality. There's some prime stuff here: "unplugged" White Album demos from mid-1968, radically different versions of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Helter Skelter", a stringless "The Long and Winding Road", three beautifully sung and played Harrison solo demos from early 1969, and several songs the Beatles recorded as a group but never released, like "All Things Must Pass", "Not Guilty", "Teddy Boy", "Come and Get It" and "Junk". As on previous Anthology sets, some of these alternates are only somewhat or slightly different from the official versions, others are true revelations ... a fascinating collection, both for the insight it affords you into the group's creative process at the end of their career, and for the considerable excellence of the music itself.

The material here is of slightly higher quality than the previous two Anthology collections due to the fidelity of these recordings, but again, this is still mainly an archival package like the previous two Anthology albums. Standouts include the Esher demos for the White Album, the haunting George Harrison demos of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Something" and "All Things Must Pass", and the legendary White Album outtake "What's the New Mary Jane".

SUPERB Pressing and Condition all around on this virtually untouched set.
