It's Not Too Bad

IT'S NOT TOO BAD

(CD 1997 PEGBOY 1008)

Most Of The Santa Isabel And Kenwood Demos Are New To Disc Here. We Now Have The Complete
Collection Of John's 'Strawberry Fields Forever', From A Sketchy Warm Up Rehearsal Recorded In Spain,
Whilst John Was Filming 'How I Won The War' To Take 26 Of The EMI Studio Sessions A Few Months Later.
If You Listern Carefully To The EMI Takes, You Can Hear Fragments Of Studio Banter And Movement
Between Tracks That Are Not Evident On Other Bootleg Releases, In Particular Yellow Dog's
Unsurpassed Masters Vol.3, In Which Most Of The Material Has Been Subject To Remastering
And Noise Reduction.

A Great Disc For Collectors, Repackaged On The POP Label In 1998 As 'Nothing Is Real' POP-002.
