The precise date is unknown, but towards the end of May 1968 The Beatles met at Kinfauns, George Harrison's bungalow in Esher, Surrey. There they recorded demo versions of a number of songs written in India, 19 of which later appeared on the White Album.
The 27 songs believed to have been taped at Kinfauns were recorded on Harrison's Ampex four-track reel-to-reel tape recorder. They were mostly grouped together by the composer of each song, although John Lennon's songs were more scattered across the day. They were most likely taped in this order:
.Cry Baby Cry - with a different intro and ending from the album version
.Child Of Nature - unreleased, but later became Jealous Guy
.The ContinuingStory Of Bungalow Bill - the other Beatles make animal noises
.I'm So Tired - with a slightly different spoken passage
.Yer Blues - John Lennon is 'insecure' rather than 'suicidal'
.Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey - far less frenetic than the studio version
.What's The New Mary Jane - included on Anthology 3
.Revolution 1 - lacks the 'you say you'll change the constitution' verse
.While My Guitar Gently Weeps - with different lyrics in places
.Circles - unreleased by The Beatles
.Sour Milk Sea - unreleased by The Beatles
.Not Guilty - studio version included on Anthology 3
.Piggies - rather than 'eat their bacon', the piggies 'cut their pork chops'
.Julia - in a higher key and with the verses in a different order
.Blackbird - with a double-tracked vocal, no break, a slightly slower tempo
.Rocky Raccoon - shorter, without the opening and final verses
.Back In The USSR - lacks the final verse
.Honey Pie - released on Anthology 3, with the final verse edited out
.Mother Nature's Son - without the guitar intro of the studio version
.Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - with a double-tracked vocal from Paul McCartney
.Junk - included on Anthology 3
.Dear Prudence - with a spoken ending and double-tracked vocals
.Sexy Sadie -
.Happiness Is A Warm Gun - lacks the intro and the final section
.Mean Mr Mustard - his sister is called Shirley, not Pam
.Polythene Pam - slightly different chords; 'well it's a little absurd but she's a nice class of bird'; the verses are repeated
.Glass Onion - with double-tracked gobbledygook from Lennon
