    All Things Must Pass (2020 Mix) comes out tomorrow (the track, not the album) and the associated press release has Dhani confirming a 50th anniversary release coming next year. Check the Harrison Archive Speculation thread....

    Funny, I've got a great poster from the LA show, but I already have an even cooler Yoko poster up on my wall. I think I'll need to start rotating them.

    Documentation from Companies House in London APPLE CORPS LIMITED - Filing history (free information from Companies House)

    So far Yoko is still director but Sean ia now director 21. october and 12. november.

    A complete new Apple contract between the 4 families, very interesting in "Memorandum and Articles of Association"

    and finally the annual account in "Group of companies' accounts made up to 31 January 2020"

    They added a mailing list link below the box set teaser message. "Register your interest". Seems like they want to gauge demand.

    After a somewhat dismal year, it seems in 2021 we'll have three major beatle-related sets: POB, ATMP and Let It Be. I hope we also get a McCartney archive or two.

    This 50th anniversary commemorative release ought to include both POB albums (originally issued on the same day) by John and Yoko.

    Yes, it was first announced in the Gimme Some Truth book that came with the CD, stating a 6-CD, 2 BR set would be released this year.
    Then yesterday, the POB website stated the announcement was forthcoming in January 2021.

    Not at all, I figure that’s what we’ll find out in January. I’d just remind people that on the Imagine set, the songs on the CDs were repeated on the Blu-Rays and that box was advertised as having 140 or 150 songs, when in reality we got about 79 in all, plus a lot of repeats. I siuspect the same with this one.

    I’ve heard that they did. I do not recall hearing it as a band jam, only the demo. They also jammed on Long Lost John, which was on the Anthology.

    I only know of the 2 demos. And they are not the best quality.

    I'm glad I never bought any POB bootlegs as apart from youtube I've never really heard much from the sessions.
    Oh the Rockabilly Jam I had on bootleg years ago, but not much else.

    Same. He also did another demo called A Case Of The Blues from this same time period.

    I think that was from 1968 (surprised it wasn't on the White Deluxe) unless he done another one in 1970?

    Yeah, it's an earlier song. He even plays a bit of it at Twickenham in 69.

    I understand why it wasn't on the White Album deluxe. It's a solo demo, not The Beatles. By and large, they've ignored such solo demos. I would think it's possible that the POB set will dip back a bit, at least for the 1968 Look At Me demos.

    I thought the same. I've heard several demos of Look At Me, reportedly from 1968. They really don't sound very different from the released version, they all sound great. That song never evolved at all, from what I've heard. Then again, maybe I'll hear different in a couple of months
