Writing on back of sleeve:

"You are holding one of the finest Beatles underground albums in existence. The past five years has seen the market flooded with nothing more than re-packages and rip-offs; this is not the case here! Every song on this album is 100% new and original. None of it has ever been released anywhere before. Culled from the vaults of collectors around the world, it is our pleasure to present to you:

MEIN BONNIE The original slow version, never officially released. 1961 
I LOVE YOU TOO Paul M. singing lead vocals with the Fourmost. 1964 
ITS ONLY LOVE Acoustic out-take featuring John L. 1965 
INDIAN ROPE TRICK The famous ode to the Maharishi. 1967 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE LOVE From the same session and above, in India. 1967 
NOT GUILTY A "White Album" out-take written by George H. 1968 
HEY BULLDOG An out-take backing track featuring John L. 1968 
SAVOY TRUFFEL Another backing track from the same session as above. 1968 
FOOL ON THE HILL The original demo version featuring Paul M. 1967 
I AM THE WALRUS Another early demo version featuring John L. 1967 
WATCHING RAINBOWS A studio rehearsal/jam, of a John L. original 1969 
MEAN MR. MUSTARD This track really deserves a close listening. It is the original version by John, with many extra verses and appears to be about Paul!! 1969 
ALL THINGS MUST PASS The original Beatle version of the George song. 1969 
CHEESE AND ONIONS (?) 
ORIENTAL NIGHTFISH A strange Paul and Linda M. demo 1973 
THE PIRATE SONG A George H. solo tune about his law suit. 1975

The dream is over, what can I say?
The dream is over, yesterday.
I was the Dreamweaver, but now I'm reborn.
I was the Walrus, but now I'm John.
And so dear friends, you'll just have to carry on.
The dream is over."

Track listing and descriptions have some errors:

A1: "My Bonnie" with English and German intros playing on top of one another.
A2: Only The Fourmost singing, Paul McCartney is not on this recording.
A3: One channel of the stereo mix for "It's Only Love"
A4: "Indian Rope Trick" is a name given by the original bootlegger. A more apt title would be "Spiritual Regeneration"
A6: "Not Guilty" is an incorrect listing; it is in fact "Frenzy And Distortion" by Ravi Shankar from Raga (Original Soundtrack Album).
A7: One channel of the stereo mix.
A8: One channel of the stereo mix.
B5: Neil Innes ("Ron Nasty") of The Rutles performing "Cheese And Onions" on SNL
B7: George performing "The Pirate Song" on Rutland Weekend Television.

Thank you for looking.
