Notes
Later pressing (probably second, but not Lennon-box press of 1988) is quite similar to Some Time In New York City in appearance, but details of labels, inner sleeves and runout patterns have slight variations (even though it is not really clear which features do belong to the two versions).
C1 and C2 recorded live 15th Dec 1969 at The Lyceum, London at UNICEF benefit concert. Billy Preston's lost organ performance overdubbed by Nicky Hopkins.
D1 to D4 recorded live at Fillmore East, New York on 6th June 1971 with The Mothers.
