2018 DeLuxe Box Set vs bootlegs and Lennon Anthology

IMAGINE

Imagine (Original demo recorded at Ascot) 03:17 OUTTAKES
NEW *Different from the ‘other’ demo circulating on bootlegs (3:36) which was also used (but edited) on the 1988 Warner Bros soundtrack «Imagine – The Movie» and can be seen in the ‘Gimme Some Truth’ documentary.

Imagine (Take 1) 03:25 RAW STUDIO OUTTAKES LIVE
Also known as «Version 1» on bootlegs. The Anthology version lacks the final comment from John lasting five seconds less (3:20), while the bootleg version is complete and with the same length of 3:25. So nothing new, but it will be little longer than the Anthology version.

Imagine (Take 1) 03:05 OUTTAKES
This is the re-make session, also known as “Version 2”. Lasting 3:12 on bootlegs, including some chat after the take, but it actually ends at 3:05. Nothing new here, apparently.

Imagine (Take 10) 03:12 OUTTAKES NEW

Imagine 06:00 EVOLUTION NEW

Imagine (Strings only) 02:13 ELEMENTS NEW
Similar to some 5.1. mixes and Rockband multi tracks, but this mix is a new one

CRIPPLED INSIDE

Crippled Inside (Take 2) 05:23 RAW STUDIO OUTTAKES LIVE *BLU-RAY EXCLUSIVE
NEW From Rehearsal Session? (Take 2 from the session that gave us the final version is available on bootlegs but it’s different from this «Live outtake»)

Crippled Inside (Take 6 alternate guitar solo) 03:50 RAW STUDIO OUTTAKES LIVE *BLU-RAY EXCLUSIVE
NEW From Rehearsal Session?

Crippled Inside (Take 3) 03:50 OUTTAKES
NEW Re-make Session? (a Different Take 3 is on bootleg, including engineer’s slate «Take Three», and lasting no longer than 1 minute because it’s a breakdown take, so now we have a different Take 3, maybe one comes from the “Rehearsal/Live sessions” and the other from the ‘proper’ session?)

Crippled Inside (Take 6 alternate guitar solo) 03:47 OUTTAKES
NEW Re-make Session? (on bootlegs we have two different takes with this same length (3:47), one described as «Take 17» but without any slate it’s doubtful we are actually hearing a seventeenth take, so could be this Take 6, and the other described as «Rough Take», both with «alternate guitar solo», we will have to wait to get this upcoming official set to be able to really compare and decide.)

Crippled Inside (Take 6) 03:50 RAW STUDIO EXTENDED ALBUM VERSIONS-LIVE
NEW From Re-make Session?

Crippled Inside 03:59 EVOLUTION NEW

HOW DO YOU SLEEP?

How Do You Sleep? (Take 1) 08:40 RAW STUDIO OUTTAKES LIVE
From First Session? Already on Bootlegs, maybe we will get little more post-song chat banter.

How Do You Sleep? (Takes 5 & 6) 07:03 RAW STUDIO OUTTAKES LIVE
Partially NEW- From First Session? (Takes 5 (a false start) and Take 6 are already on the Anthology boxed set, but Take 6 has a fadeout there, so we will get around 2 minutes more of unheard stuff).

How Do You Sleep? (Takes 1 & 2) 05:57 OUTTAKES
NEW From Re-make Session? (Do not confuse this with the «Rehearsal takes 1 and 2» on bootleg, those were rehearsals more than proper takes).

How Do You Sleep? (Take 11 – extended) 06:00 RAW MIXES EXTENDED ALBUM VERSIONS LIVE
NEW From Re-make Session (even though we have two outtakes very close to the final version on bootleg, none of them are exactly 6:00, one is 6:46 and the other known as «Alternate Vocal B» is 6:13, maybe we will get that with early fade out? We will find out in October.)
