Paul McCartney, Donovan, and Mary Hopkin Jamming in the studio 1969 - "The Postcard Sessions" vinyl and CD versions
This short little gem makes the grade on two accounts - it's a stellar recording with a good cast, and it's never been officially released. This is an informal jam session during the making of Mary Hopkin's "Postcard" LP. It happens to be a fun set to listen to. There's lots of interplay between Donvan and Paul, and they all seem to be having a blast.
The two versions presented here are notable in that the vinyl version accounted for the material's first appearance anywhere. The CD reissue is placed here for comparison, both in sound quality and for any differences in mix.

Both setlists are taken from their respective covers. I don't think either of them know how to spell the last track.
