The Beatles - Acoustic Masterpieces - The Esher Demos

This is what I consider one of the most important Beatles Recordings of all time... I'm sure many of you have it already.. After the Beatles "John, Paul and George returned from India, they got together, at George's Home to play some of the song's which each had writen in India. this is the first time these songs had ever been played to each other,,, So Basicaly, The Lads were just having a good time, jamming together... This is as close to Un-plugged as you'll ever get... It ran on this sight for about 8 months, getting over 2000 hits.. then it got Banned,,,seem's someone noted some Tracks had been used on The Beatles, Anthology 3. Of corse they had been Over dubbed.... I started to wonder which tracks were used. So I read the book which came with The Beatles, Anthology 3. After a very close look, only 3 tracks were used from this set... I checked with the mod's, as of this moment I have permission to reload it, with the 3 tracks deleated. So if you want John, Paul and George sitting in your living room, bring them in, of corse your invited to sing along........
