Kinfauns was George’s comfortable little one-story house in Esher,
outside of London. It was there that the Beatles gathered sometime
during May 20-29 of 1968, using George’s four-track Ampex reel-to-reel
to tape acoustic group demos of the many songs they’d written while at
the Maharishi’s ashram in Rishikesh, India.

Text on back of sleeve:

During their stay at the Maharishi’s ashram in Rishikesh, India in the
early spring of 1968, the Beatles had written an unprecedented number of
new songs. While late April and early May were busily spent launching
Apple, the first sessions for their new LP (later to become known as
“The White Album”) were looming.

All these acoustic group demos were recorded sometime during May 20-29,
1968, when all four Beatles gathered at Kinfauns, George’s comfortable
little one-story house Esher, not far outside of London. Derek Taylor’s
name is mentioned during the sessions, and he may have been running
George’s four-track Ampex reel-to-reel, on which these historic
performances were preserved.
