Episode description
While cleaning out the attic of BDJ Towers, we stumbled on a tape; it carried a hand-written label, stating only: "Carnival of Light JPM".
When we played the tape, we found it contained just fragments of speech, reversed loops and sound effects. So we erased it.
The flip side of the tape was much more interesting: apparently a private copy of the Cavern Rehearsel sessions; this tape is special, since it contains One After 909 IN STEREO, recorded in the cavern. This again shows how avant-garde the Beatles were, even then, since stereo recording hadn't been invented yet.
