Comments: A brilliant essential double C.D. It's really nice looking with a good selection of tracks.
The CD booklet has 8 colourful pages with much information, all of which is actually verbatim from Lewisohn,
I selectively used the booklet notes for the comments below, rather than type them in full (READ Lewisohn if you want the full story !)

C.D. 1

No Tracklisting Notes Time

15 Flying Take 8 RM 6 - At this stage the song was nearly 10 minutes long, so it was then edited down to a 2'41" length. The curious jazz ending which had been evident from Take 6 was deleted. 02:41

22 Sing This All Together Rolling Stones Studio Outtake - John and Paul on backing vocals 03:39
23 Shades Of Orange Incorrectly reported as "Rolling Stones Demo - John and Paul on backing vocals".
Although written by Wyman, this was performed by "The End", a band produced by Bill ! ...
No Beatle appears on this, and indeed only Charlie Watts from the Stones helps out.
