Thinking of possible "Carnival of Light" release, what's your favorite Beatles bootleg? I couldn't find a thread on this topic

Hasn't been bootlegged, just I've kind of reached the point where my collection of studio outtakes is nearing saturation point and I'm also reading "Recording Sessions" for the first time ever so whenever I come across something that sounds nice I make a note of it and hope it eventually leaks. It's fun to dream, and besides, we recently got that 11-minute long "Revolution" so anything is possible now...

"Good Night" hasn't leaked but damn, that would be a wonderful listen! Also supposedly one of those really long "Helter Skelter" jams features Lennon on lead vocals...

There was an extended version of the pre-dubbed 'I am the Walrus' on a 'Miscellaneous Tracks' bootleg posted a few months ago (good cover photo - in the hollyhocks at St Pancras Old Church) which is well well seeking out.

The bass and drums is great, especially in the last 45 seconds or so.

Yeah, must have.

I do have an excellent predub of that from the original "Unsurpassed masters" from when.

I think it was this one. I'd been looking for the long 'Think For Yourself' - getting the other stuff was just a happy accident

That's the one. Is the 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' version the fabled take with Paul's vocal?

four years pass...

Kinfauns demos are amazing, they sound like they're all having fun. maybe for the last time, as it all seemed to go downhill soon as they got into the actual studio.

This extended take of She's A Woman is fun - lots of crazy guitar and Paul shrieking in the final stretch

going down these outtakes rabbit holes is fun and can just take hours. we're so spoiled that these are everywhere now.
