Notes
Tracks 6-17 comprise "The Peter Sellers Tape," which Ringo gave to his friend Sellers before The White Album was released. Some of these mono mixes are different from the released versions, in particular, 10 and 11, which have extra sections that were later edited out. These recordings were later issued in improved quality, but this is the first time they were all gathered on one release.
Track 5 is mistitled "I Hate To See The Evening Sun Go Down". Paul is actually riffing on "St. Louis Blues".
This was the first issue of the previously unheard mix of "What's The New Mary Jane" (Paul and Ringo do not play on this track).
All tracks mono except 1, 4, 5 and 18.
As with all other Yellow Dog issues, the mastering speed on all the tracks is wrong.
