Description
Kum Back is the first bootleg album by The Beatles, released in September 1969. The album is an early mix of what would become 1970's Let It Be, taken from an acetate prepared by the groups's producer, Glyn Johns.It is one of the earliest commercial rock bootlegs. All tracks on Kum Back were recorded during the Get Back/Let It Be Sessions of January 1969, and all were recorded in the basement studio of 3 Savile Row, London, England. "I've Got a Feeling", was recorded on January 24, 1969, and is probably the earliest recording on this album. The first appearance of a vinyl copy of the recordings appeared on the black market sometime in January 1970. Many conventional record stores also began to carry the album that same year. Glyn Johns prepared an early mix of what would eventually become Let It Be around January 28, 1969. It was probably used for reference when the actual mixing was underwent. Several other acetates seemed to have been pressed at the time. It has also been rumoured that John Lennon had taken one of these pressings to America during a 1969 visit, then traded it for several unreleased recordings he did not own. Lennon later spoke about the record: "They say it came from an acetate that I gave to someone who then went and broadcast it as being an advance pressing or something". Apart from this quote, the original story is very hard to verify as being true.
