Reality Notes:

This is a straight compilation of the leftovers from Mind Games and Walls and Bridges. No alternate versions or editing needed.

The reason for this compilation are many. The two most important are 1) as a reader pointed out, I tend to combine John's leftovers with Yoko tracks into a John & Yoko album leaving John with fewer pure solo albums and 2) John was always very economical and purposeful when he recorded. He rarely left anything in the can. When he recorded something in the studio it was because it was something he liked and wanted to share. There are really very few unreleased song in John's studio archives. There are a lot of alternate takes and between song jams but it was rare for john to record something and not release it.
