Sounds a bit "fishy", in the sense that the voice is barely/not recognizable and that the song seems finished, just not produced at all...but there's no denying that it's Linda talking at 3:37 so...

Is this the second known guest vocal appearance by young James McCartney (after "Daytime Nightime Suffering")?
Great find anyway!!!

I dunno, sounds legit to me. I agree, it sounds about 80-90% complete but it's most likely a run through once they got it down so they didn't lose it. Where did this guy get this, it's origin is not listed on YT?

This is absolutely real, listen at the end where you can clearly hear Linda with James McCartney - that’s unfakeable!

The source is from MJ HIStory ... Memoir Tapes Volume 5. At the end of the interview comes the demo.

Yes Linda's presence at the end sealed the deal, even if there is a cut between the first part and the part where you can hear her talking while the track is being played back.
