Comments (from Belmo's "Not For Sale")
This has one of my favourite covers of
all time. Who cannot appreciate an album cover which has
four short-haired 1963 era Beatles, surrounded
by 16 photos of nude women wearing a variety of masks?!
Truly an avant garde cover for some far
out music.
Oh, yeah! The music ... (I almost forgot,
sorry.) Four takes of "Mary Jane" were recorded August 14th 1968,
and was meant for possible inclusion on
the White Album. Only John and George were present for the taping.
Take 4 would appear on the Anthology series,
the versions on this disc are Takes 1 & 2.
(Belmo then goes on to print the lyrics).
Actually Belmo is incorrect about the Takes on the 12", I have listed them correctly I believe.
