This is part 2 of the Beatles demos, continued from last week. No George or Ringo and little McCartney. John’s demos dominate here mostly because of the radio show “Lost Lennon Tapes” but most of these version are complete or inheard.
"Bad To Me"
Lennon's home demo recorded mid 1963. Given to Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas.
"Across The Universe"
Another Lennon demo. Pretty early version.
"She Can Talk To Me/Hey Bulldog #2"
Continuation of the one posted last week.
"One And One Is Two"
McCartney demo of a song given away to The Strangers.
” You Know My Name (Look Up The Number"
You ask yourself “How can a demo exist for this?” Well, here’s John working it out.
"Mellotron sound experiment #4"
When John Lennon received his first Mellotron he recorded a series of experiments. Most of these sound like something similar he would record with Yoko for the “Two Virgins” album, but these are FAR more listenable. And, of course, NO YOKO!
"She Said, She Said"
" She Said, She Said"
"She Said, She Said"
"She Said, She Said"
"She Said, She Said"

Re: Rare Beatles music thread #18
I just thought I'd add this one. The actual John Lennon demo the Threetles used to make their version during the "Anthology" sessions.
"Free As A Bird"
