    2.201. Izabella
    1969-08-29 / Izabella (1-6): This instrumental session times to 17:42 and runs straight into Machine Gun (1). This is nearly identical to the version on "Soulful Sessions", except that some remaining minor errors have been repaired: one short repeated section between takes has been removed, and a couple of short gaps between takes have been patched from another source
  25. 2.202. Izabella
    1969-08-29 / Izabella (3): There is a sudden cut at 1:51, at which point the recording jumps back to the 0:39 point and repeats. It's difficult to tell exactly what's going on here; much of the guitar in the right channel is different the second time around, parts of the guitar overdub appear to have been moved around, and there is likely some further editing in this section as well. I've never seen anything like this, but it's definitely altered from its originally recorded form

    1969-08-29 / Izabella (28) is a mono mix of the take from this date that was for some time the working master
