John Lennon: The Warhol Sessions & Studio Outtakes

This is a wicked rare, infamous vinyl bootleg. Most of it is from the late 70's, the "Walls & Bridges" and "Double Fantasy" sessions. I only recommend this to the hard-core Lennon fanatics! It's fuckin crazy to hear him wasted in the studio revisiting Beatles songs ("Help", "You know my name"), and it's interesting to hear how Lennon wrote music on acoustic guitar before arranging for a band. Like I said, this is for the serious Lennon-heads.. some of the tracks ("Whatever gets you through the night", "Watching the Wheels") repeat, but in an interesting way. You'll hear him mess up a lot, change feels and parts, and practice pieces of songs. It's as close as we'll ever get to sitting right next to the man in the studio. It also comes with Bonus material- unreleased jams, a few alternate Beatles takes, a spoken word free-form poem about an erection?, and a hilarious "do it again cause we got Fuck You on it" Lennon and Yoko rehearsing a radio spot. $$$$$
