Fortunately we can hear a lot John and some nice instruments (keyboard - nice melody; who plays it ?… On saxophone, is this the saxophonist from the Elphant’s Memory Band ?) - John is in the control room - do you think he played some guitar (rhythm) on this part of audio playback ? (Not in real-live of course, but on the tape)

What Yoko solo album song It is ? It just sounds familiar to me but I just can’t put my finger on it…
Was it on the album « Space » which was at the same time than Mind Games ?


Could this be a kind of foretaste to the Sometime In New York City box set (unfortunately no news about this official new box set)

This is the control room feed from the 'Flipside' filming session at Record Plant on May 12th, 1973.

John announces at the beginning of the tape 2 titles he wants to work on it - one of the two is "Samantha" (at first, I thought it was the name of a chorist), what's the other ? I can't hear well...
What is the line-up ?

I really like the guitar opening and the keyboard is superb- this is a song which is in "the mood" of what the Rolling Stones will do later with keyboard and Mick Taylor on "Goats..." and "It's Only R'N'L"...
