They wrote a huge number of songs either in Rishikesh or thereafter. We have the demos for many of these songs now, so we know when they were first "put to tape". Suffice to say, the "White Album" owes many songs to the Rishikesh TTC. I think you're right on the time being too long. I have an diary of that time, I will look it up.
