Also John asking Brian Epstein what he thought of the show.Recordings from Manila ink thoughts on the hotel ‘pretty crappy’.Extensive recordings from July 1966 whilst in India including the group experimenting with Indian musical instruments.Extensive recordings of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - possibly recorded later than ‘66- approx. 38 minutes worth.Recordings of Ringo solo with piano performing ‘Don’t Pass Me By’, an early version without full lyrics.Recordings of Ringo at piano performing two likely unreleased demos - one with refrain ‘have you seen the tulips grow’ and one seemingly a version of 'I Bought A Picasso’Provenance: purchased by the vendor as part of a collection of Beatles memorabilia.
