Paul McCartney demo tape of A World Without Love unearthered

Peter Asher of "Peter and Gordon" fame has relocated a 1964 demo recording by Paul McCartney of the duo's hit "A World Without Love."

The song was one of several Macca gave away to Peter and Gordon. Asher's sister, Jane, was Paul's girlfriend at the time, and he lived in the Asher family's London home for a period.
 Asher discovered the recording (a DAT tape of the reel-to-reel original) in a storage space in LA. There are no plans to release it, but Asher is playing the recording on his touring show Peter Asher: A Musical Memoir Of The '60s And Beyond, with which he is travelling around the US.
 Also on the tape, from the same bedroom recording, is McCartney singing an early version of The Beatles' 'I'll Follow The Sun'.
