Question
Hi James, It's Pete again. Would you have any specific details about a Beatles bootleg album titled, "JSJ, Inc. presents Get Back and More." It is on the JSJ Records label, JSJ-1313. The label is blue with silver lettering.
The titles are: Side A--Get Back 2:25--When You Walk :47--Let It Be 3:33--On Our Way Home 3:06--Don't Let Me Down 3:46--Got A Feeling 2:25--Don't Keep Me Waiting 3:20.
                Side B--Blah Blah Song 1:40--Across The Universe 3:24--Teddy Boy 5:40--Ride A Pony 5:40--Ballad Of John & Yoko 3:00--Across The Universe (with Echo) 2:40.
I am interested in the origin and history of this LP.
Thank You once again for your time and attention.  Pete

Answer

JSJ Get Back and More
There is a lot of Let It Be bootleg material - none of it particularly worth anything other than as a collectible.
The Let it Be album was originally to be called Get Back and there are MANY bootlegs with the same tracks that are on JSJ Get Back and More.  This is one of the earlier records made in 1970 as one of the first Beatles bootlegs called Kum Back was released.  However, JSJ Get Back and more was pressed at the wrong speed so many of the tracks are sped up and sound distorted.  
For more definitive/cleaner versions of these songs, look for similar Get Back bootleg records from labels such as Yellow Dog.
