From the back cover:
The "John Barrett Tapes" is a revelatory experience for Beatles fans, comprising of tracks taken directly from the late Abbey Road engineer's cassette dubs of material he found during the valults searchers in 1982. Included here are tracks never before released on vinyl or on the Anthology series.

John Barrett ripped, after been asked by EMI officials, into his task with gusto, spending weeks listening through every tape and making up a detailed "catalog".

Most of the material dubbed off by Barrett went unissued... until now. Taken from the original cassette dubs, here are a bunch o' Beatles tracks you've never heard. They are all either different takes and completely unissued songs.
