In it's day of release this was an important debut of "Not Guilty" which ultimately came out solo by George Harrison in 1979 as well as finally issued officially on Anthology 3 in 1996 and later an outtake on the White Album mega reissue a few years back.  Despite the 27th generation quality, I probably put it on a bunch of mix tapes.   The rest of the first side was from a cassette circulating in 1984 before being rushed onto the market in the UK by EMHV label with a fancier cover more in line with the high quality boots of the mid 80's.  This copy, rushed into the US market,  was a cheap Xerox of the back cover, slipped into a slightly oversized plastic sleeve and generic white cover album by the fine folks at Poverty Records.  Poverty Records were so poor they used leftover labels of Buddy Love Sings About Girls album.  To this day Buddy's album cannot be streamed.

The rest of the side has some alternate versions of "Rain" as well as a bongoless 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" from a film acetate.  Side two was better quality for a good reason.  The Around The Beatles program complete with a hits medley and a cover of the Isley Brothers "Shout."  The side kicks off with the Carefrees "We Love You Beatles."  I had a copy of the VHS semi-legal videotape issued around the same time.  Perhaps even before this came out.

Artifact that isn't particularly listenable today.
