A very ad-libbed recording by John (with Yoko) about his experiences with the Maharishi while in India a few months earlier. You can tell that John was genuinely upset about the way things turned out...

Review by: Pierre Duplessis, pierre.duplessis@tr.cgocable.caOn 30 Jul 2001
Very interesting stuff. The acoustic demos gives us another view of those great songs. In the other way, the last part (I Want You, Oh My Love, A Case of the Blues)sadly reveals that at this point John wasn't devoted to the Beatles but to Yoko...
Review by: Correction, CorrectionOn 21 Oct 2001
Just a nonmusical note about song 2 in the table above. The subject of Dear Prudence is Tisa Farrow - not 'Prudence.'

I am almost drueling looking at this cd I have to leave this site now. (drueling sound like homer makes)
Review by: Pete DangerfieldOn 11 Dec 2002 at 17:47 CET
A good collection of White Album demos from May 1968. Not every demo is available here, but its a good start. The disc is worth getting just for "The Maharishi Song" and "I Want You" with its sexually-charged chatter - hilarious! Don't get too excited about track 26 - it sounds nice but is barely 30 seconds long. This is the first bootleg CD I bought and still listen to it frequently.

I have a disc with all Esher demos (White Demos, Apple-Fake). This disc also includes two Lennon´s demos - Glass Onion and Warm Gun.
My rating: great!
