It begins with studio chatter and retains the guitar, bass and drums arrangement but is augmented by piano and Whitlock’s Hammond softly floating beneath the song. “Let It Down” which closes the disc clocks in at 5:28. The take which begins A Quiet Stormis a simple run through of electric guitar, bass and drums under Harrison’s vocal originating from the acetate clocking in at 6:36. The first disc begins and ends with two different outtakes of “Let It Down.” The final version as it appears on the album is heavily treated with horns, Hammond organ, Eric Clapton’s slide weaving around the chorus and a deep echo on the vocals.

Further sessions would commence later that spring and summer with final mixing in October before the final product would be released to the public in December. these are acoustic recordings of many of the songs that would be developed later on. The initial demos were recorded at Abbey Road on May 26th, 1970 with Harrison and producer Phil Spector.
