Kum Back

Recording

All tracks on Kum Back were recorded during the Get Back/Let It Be Sessions of January 1969, and all were recorded in the basement studio of 3 Savile Row, London, England. "I've Got a Feeling," track seven, was recorded on 24 January 1969 and is probably the earliest recording on this album.

Release

The first appearance of a vinyl copy of the recordings appeared on the black market sometime in January 1970. Many conventional record stores also began to carry the album that same year.

The cover of the album is a plain white sleeve as issued by the pressing plant, with a blue or red rubber-stamped "KUM BACK" in all capital letters, on most copies slightly crooked (tilted to the left) slightly below center and to the right, apparently added by the agents who issued the album. On some copies the title is not completely legible due to the speed or carelessness in applying the rubber stamp to the finished sleeves. Similarly, the record labels are plain white, with no artist or title. The only indication as to which is Side One and Side Two is scratched into the space of the play-out grooves on either side, very likely done at the master, mother, or stamper phase of the pressing. It is most likely that the listing for artist and titles were omitted by the agents who prepared the recording to avoid the pressing being rejected by the pressing plant, and to avoid legal action.
