The Beatles Unplugged Album

Bootleg Beatles albums are nothing new. They've been circulating amongst Beatlemania addicts for almost fifty years now. This one is particularly rare and the recording quality is particularly good. As Youtube user GeoBeatles points out, "This disc (which is sort-of subtitled "The Kinfaun-Session," referring to George Harrison's Esher home) pulls together the 23 songs that Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney recorded as works-in-progress at Harrison's home in May of 1968." Each track on this album is acoustic, which makes for some very interesting renditions on songs. It contains many outtakes from the White Album. Give it a listen. It's one long track, but I've included the time stamps below for easier browsing.
