1.

 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La Da (Lennon-McCartney) ••

2:56

 Recorded on June 2, 1968 during the "WHITE ALBUM" sessions.
 Completely different to the previously released version. Supposed to be a very early take, featuring bongos and acoustic guitars.

2.

 Tomorrow Never Knows (Lennon-McCartney) •

2:57

 Recorded on April 6, 1966 during the "REVOLVER" sessions.
 A very basic track with different sound effects copared to the previously released version.

3.

 A Day In The Life (Lennon-McCartney) ••

5:09

 Recorded on January 19, 1967 during the "SGT. PEPPER'S" sessions.
 Starts with John's count. Different ending, missing part II of this song!

4.

 Yes It Is (Lennon-McCartney) ••

3:06

 Recorded between February 15-19, 1965 during the "HELP" sessions.
 A rehearsal take with different lyrics and no chorus vocals.

5.

 I Saw Her Standing There (Take 10) (Lennon-McCartney) •

3:01

 Recorded on February 11, 1963 during the "PLEASE PLEASE ME" sessions.
 Different to the previously released take, and also different to the take featured on "ULTRA RARE TRAX VOL. 1".

1.

 Norwegian Wood (Take 1) (Lennon-McCartney) ••

2:03

 Recorded on Oct. 12 1965.
 This take has very vivid melody lines in John's vocals and George's sitar. The tempo of this version is slightly slow¬er to the previously released version.
 John does not play any melody on his 12-string guitar, but just chords. Very different to the previously released take, and also different to the version on "ULTRA RARE TRAX VOL. 2"!

2.

 Not Guilty (Harrison) ••

3:15

 Recorded during the June-October 1968 "WHITE ALBUM" sessions.
 Only recently discovered, this version is completely different do the one featured on "ULTRA RARE TRAX VOL. 3"!

3.

 Across The Universe (Lennon-McCartney) •

3:46

 Recorded on Feb. 4, 1968.
 Completely different to all known versions, like the one on the "LET IT BE" album or the "WORLD WILDLIFE" mix. No orchestration, no animal noises and harmony vocals - lots of backward guitars!

4.

 While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Harrison) •

3:26

 Recorded during the June-October 1968 "WHITE ALBUM" sessions.
 So-called "acoustic version", just George's voice, acoustic guitar and back¬ground organ in the chorus. Sounds very intim¬ate.
 Completely different to previously released version.

5.

 Ticket To Ride (Lennon-McCartney) ••

3:23

 Recorded in February 1965.
 No fade-out at the end, John's vocals on single track only — different to the previously released take.

Legend:

Mono.
•• Stereo.
