Comments: | (From The Rear Sleeve) Vigotone is proud to present the final Glyn Johns compilation of the legendary unissued Get Back LP. Uncirculated before now, and assembled just one day after the last official Beatles recording session in January 1970, this lineup features notable differences from the more common Spring 1969 compilation on As Nature Intended. Also included are two bonus, previously unheard versions of "Teddy Boy", and informative liner notes and relevant photos.
(My Comments)
The booklet enclosed with this set is very informative, comprising 32 pages, detailing recording notes and the full
life of the recordings for Get Back, the finished Let It Be album, and the bootlegs
(vinyl and CD) by Vigotone which have traced the full evolvement. |

From The Booklet :
"I cannot bring myself to listen to the Phil Spector version of the album -
I heard a few bars of it once, and was totally disgusted, and think it's an absolute load of garbage."
