What are people's thoughts about including the Donovan session? Keeping in mind that it was for a Mary Hopkin album, conflicting reports of it occurring at EMI, and how much I dislike Donovan.

I personally wouldn't include it, but that's just my opinion.

Will there be a document with all the info track by track (source, what's been done, etc.) ?

I'm torn because I like the session. I would however say no because including that one would mean a lot of other guest appearances should be included too. Then again it desperately needs a cleanup from the raw stereo DAT transfer.

I wouldn’t include it. I have no problem with Mr. Leitch, but (checks notes) he was not a Beatle.

I love Donovan but I wouldn't include the whole thing. Maybe some highlights?
Or use what NW8 used?

Maybe make it an optional bonus? It is a McCartney studio performance.

perhaps an option folder but you did so much with the 1968 sessions; beyond my deepest dreams...

the Donovan sessions were something exciting for me the first time I discovered these studio acoustic tracks- was it released on the Midnight Beat CD in the 90's ?
Well, I remember that there was nothing much about the 1968 sessions beside the Kinfaus demos and some mono or longer mixes on the Yellow Dog.
So it was great to listen to "Helter Skelter" played an acoustic guitar by Paul who is humming the descends guitar riff (doodoodoodoodoo); there was also "Heather" on this tape. Still this is great stuff.

I think the Donovan session should be included as a bonus file. I certainly would enjoy hearing it more than the Yoko dialogue/Revolution file.
