Notes
1971 version w/postcard & poster, 180gr, From the Vaults Capitol Campaign. Has Apple label not Capitol Rainbow. John Tout is incorrectly credited with playing the acoustic guitar on track A2. He actually played the piano on this track, per a May 1998 interview with Opening Out. External links are not allowed, so here is the information quoted/taken from that interview: Was the track you did "Crippled Inside"? Yes it was. That's the one that I worked on just bashing out chords. They put me down as a guitarist. That was an administrative error on somebody's part. It wasn't anything serious, it was just John Lennon doing his usual/unusual stuff.
