Across The Universe

Info for this specific disc is unknown. It was auctioned on eBay in October 2004. Based on the label style, the disc would seem to originate from late 1968 - early 1969.

Perhaps this is the acetate heard on Nagra reel 68A from the 7 January 1969 Twickenham sessions. However, it seems possible that it could come from the 2 October 1969 mixing session. However, the type written label could indicate a 1970 date

According to the auction description, the audio is different.

AUCTION DESCRIPTION:
The auction gave little information. It stated that it is a 10" disc and " Diese Version unterscheidet sich von der normalen". This was translated for me, "This version differs from the "normal" (version)".
