Derek Taylor Tapes
« on: September 19, 2023, 11:54:43 PM »

These tapes up for auction are raising eyebrows in Beatle discussion circles.

https://www.gottahaverockandroll.com/The_Beatles_Derek_Taylor_Never_Before_Heard_Collec-LOT49374.aspx

Apparently tapes kept by Derek Taylor and unheard. Most interest is in what is supposedly a demo of Dear Prudence from 1967 (which would spoil the India-Prudence Farrow story) although what’s not clear is exactly when the demo was made. It’s assumed to be 67 due to other things on the tape but that’s not iron clad. Also not clear is how developed the demo is.

But beyond that there is some bizarre looking stuff on the track listing. (George doing an “album” with the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band for instance or a version of him doing While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Jimmy Page)

If anyone has a spare $30,000 to make a bid you might be in with a chance to get it.

I noticed that one. I remember Sooty!

I also saw some tunes for a Handmade Film’s movie called Brazil. It said it never went into production but George’s Monty Python mate Terry Gilliam did direct a film called Brazil in the early 80s for another studio.

Save your money, Moog.  It's probably something like this...

Well, I did just win a whopping $4 ($2 net) in the lottery last weekend. I'm almost there.  ;D

It could be the demo which would let us hear how it developed.

That's so odd. I've done some searches and haven't learned a thing. Even a search on the auction site didn't yield any information. Wonder what happened.

Yoko bought and burned them.
