Most Beatle/related boots are unsellable on Discogs. Why this one makes the cut one can only theorize. The Suma label issued some other quality boots including a version of Get Back that was an early version of Let It Be cut on acetate that made it to radio stations. The legendary Trademark of Quality also had a prior issue of this. This material was recorded July 21, 1974 at the Record Plant in between the Rock 'N Roll sessions Lennon was doing for a settlement for Morris Levy. This material was what became Walls and Bridges.
May Pang was in the mix and the B-side "Move Over Miss L" follows the song Lennon claimed Jagger ripped off, "Bless You." The sessions were addressed on official release on Menlove Ave. in 1986. There was a stream of the whole 2 hour session on YouTube, but while I tried to play it back it was silent. Not sure if that is a permanent glitch but there is similar material compiled on Something Precious and Rare.
The seller can only assume this is a legit Morris Levy production.
