Title: John Lennon Demo's
Post by: Kiss My Bad Self on September 17, 2004, 10:41:02 AM

I've heard early acoustic versions an demo's of Lennon solo songs such as God or Nobody loves you when your down an out an i often prefer them to the originals. Is there any good CD's out there with Lennon demo's an stuff like that on them.

There are LOADS of John Lennon bootlegs out there (just visit any record fare), but I recently saw one which dealt specifically with John's home demos... unfortunately I can't remember the name of it! Can anyone else help? :)

I'll let you into a little fantasy of mine:

Why can't Yoko get some musicians in (Julian and Sean included perhaps) To over-dub the unreleased demos like FAAB and RL? I can just imagine what 'India' would sound like, that is one classic John song.

End of fantasy.
