THE VERY SPECIAL "FAB ROUR" EDITION OF THE LOST LENNON TAPES FEATURES RECORDINGS JOHN MADE WITH THE BEATLES. "TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS" IS A ROUGH MIX. IT´ S FOLLOWED BY JOHN MAKING A RECORDING OF SOME SIMULATED "BACKWARDSPEAK" ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR INCORPORATION INTO "STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER" (THIS CONCEPT WAS, OF COURSE, EVENTUALLY ABANDONED.) "AERIAL TOUR INSTRUMENTAL" IS AN EARLY UNRELEASED VERSION OF THE SONG THAT CAME TO BE KNOWN AS "FLYING" ON "THE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR" SOUNDTRACK. TRACKS 6-12 ARE ACOUSTIC GUITAR DEMOS BY THE BEATLES, RECORDED AT PAULS´S HOUSE 1968. "HE SAID HE SAID/SHE SAID SHE SAID" IS AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR DEMO BY JOHN FROM 1966. "DADDY´ S LITTLE SUNSHINE BOY" FEATURES RINGO ON VOCAL, WITH IMPATIENT ENCOURAGEMENT FROM JOHN. A LOVELY TUNE CLOSES THE ALBUM.

Child Of Nature
Lennon/McCartney

On the road to Rishikesh
I was dreaming more or less
And the dream I had was true
Yes the dream I had was true
I'm just a child of nature
I don't need much to set me free
I'm just a child of nature
I'm one of nature's children

Sunlight shining in my eyes
As I face the desert skies
And my thoughts return to home
Yes my thoughts return to home
I'm just a child of nature
I don't need much to set me free
I'm just a child of nature
I'm one of nature's children

Underneath the mountain ranges
Where the wind never changes
Touch the windows of my soul
Touch the windows of my soul
I'm just a child of nature
I don't need much to set me free
I'm just a child of nature
I'm one of nature's children
