Ballad Of John and Yoko
There is no info for this specific disc but it can be assumed the mix is the same as the original single (which featured the full drum beat ending).
All the work for this song was done in one day. It seems likely this acetate comes from that day

A Note Written By John Lennon To Tony Bramwell Regarding The Release of The Ballad of John and Yoko.
This item was recently auctioned.
I no longer have the specific info.
This item was recently auctioned.
I no longer have the specific info.
While Tony Bramwell was the head of promotion for Apple Records in the late 60's, he received this note from John Lennon. Obviously, John was very aware of the possible ramifications due to the lyrics to the song, particularly after the problems he had due to his "Christ" statement in 1966. The page measures 8" X 10" and is nicely matted and framed with a 45 rpm record of the song. This note appears in Mark Lewisohn's acclaimed book The Complete Beatles Chronicle, on page 319. An important piece of correspondence, which shows the awareness John had of the interpretation of his lyrics. Written as a Beatle, about a Beatles song....$10,000
