The Beatles - 'A Doll's House' - The Alternative (Working Version) Of The White Album CD

The Beatles 'A Doll's House' - The Alternative (Working Version) Of The White Album bootleg CD. A wonderfully detailed and comprehensive package featuring rare unreleased songs, alternative unreleased takes and unreleased mixes recorded during the 1968 White Album sessions, loaded with extras.

'A Doll's House' was the original working name for what was to eventually become 'The Beatles aka The White Album' LP. This CD brings together an extensive collection of rarities and demo's from those highly influential sessions recorded during 1968.

A few highlights (full track listing below) to point out are - an unknown variation of 'Martha My Dear', a very unusual version of 'I'm So Tired' and unreleased songs 'Not Guilty', 'Brian Epstein Blues', 'Las Vegas Tune', 'Step Inside Love / Los Paranoias' and 'St Louis Blues' all of which never featured on the final album. I am quite sure that NONE of these versions are featured in The Beatles Anthology series so quite a rare collection here.

The package included here is the finest bootleg edition of 'A Dolls' House / The White Album' I have ever seen. As the versions included here are unreleased it is designed to look like an Apple acetate copy of the album.

The package includes:

• Double sided interchangeable cover which can be flipped to have the 'The White Album' OR 'A Dolls's House' as the front. 

• Accurate reproduction Apple acetate CD label design.

• Booklet charting the history and recording of 'The White Album'. Rear features Apple Records promotional items.

• 'Fresh From Apple' promotional booklet.

• Alternative White Album poster.

• Back cover with track listing, recording details and track timing. 

All in perfect MINT condition.
