My comments:
Finally here's all the Yer Blues stuff from the Rock & Roll Circus together. I always thought that the version of track 1 (rehearsal) and track 9 (IBC mono acetate, the same version as track 1 but another mix) was by far the best. Excellent playing and singing! The only flaw occurs when Lennon mixes up the lyrics: 'My father's up the earth, my mother's up the sky.' The released version, presented here as track 4 and tracks 7 & 8 (signifficantly different mixes) doesn't have the same magic.
Tracks 11, 12 and 13 are by The Who and Jimi Hendrix (excellent though!)
