FOREWORD BY ALLEN J. WIENER

One afternoon during the early 1980s, I wandered into one of the used record stores I eventually came to haunt on a regular basis, and began my customary browse through the Beatles bin. I was confused, but pleasantly surprised, upon discovering an album called BEATLES BROADCASTS, which sported an attractive cover with an embossed color photo of the Fab Four. I was puzzled by the album's track listing, which included such unfamiliar song titles as Clarabella, Soldier Of Love, Lend Me Your Comb, and Hippy Hippy Shake. I was even more baffled by another album in the bin, which seemed at first a black parody of the celebrated WHITE ALBUM, right down to the Beatles' name stamped on the cover. The track listing inside the ebony gatefold was even more exotic than the one on BEATLES BROADCASTS, containing song titles like Tennessee, Commonwealth, and Hi Ho Silver. Only later would I realize that these were not authorized Beatles releases, but underground bootleg records that contained material otherwise unavailable to fans of the Liverpudlians. BEATLES BROADCASTS featured songs that the group had recorded exclusively for BBC Radio programs, while the gatefold I had opened proved to be the entrance to THE BLACK ALBUM, a collection of outtakes recorded during the January 1969 filming of LET IT BE. During the years that followed those initial discoveries, hundreds of new Beatles bootleg records and CDs would appear, affording listeners a chance to hear dozens of live Beatles concert performances, radio and television appearances, and studio outtakes that were never officially released. While the sound quality on many early discs were often dicey, many later releases featured astonishingly good sonics, including improved reissues of earlier material. Underground sound took a giant leap forward with the advent of the compact disc, a format that bootleggers were quick to co-opt. Bootlegs presented a less-varnished Beatles portrait in sound than the group's official releases could. Here were hours of studio trial-and-error, including conversations among the Beatles, that provided firsthand insight into the creation of the most influential music of the 1960s. Other bootlegs captured the hysteria and unpolished performances that characterized most of the group's Beatlemania-era concerts, or the jocular fun they enjoyed on BBC Radio in their early years. The Beatles themselves took a dim view of this illicit use of their material, which afforded them no control over the releases or income from their sale. They steadfastly insisted that the material was below Fab standards for public release, and had thus remained in the can. After fighting the bootleggers for decades, with virtually no success, the Fabs finally gave in and released three ANTHOLOGY albums filled with the very recordings they had previously found unfit for human consumption. ANTHOLOGY'S release was an acknowledgement of public interest in recorded Beatles 'rough drafts', a point brought home when each of the three albums reached number one on Billboard's album chart, all within a twelve-month period. More than a quartercentury after their breakup, the Beatles became the first recording artists in history to accomplish that feat, and they did it with the kind of material that bootleggers had been marketing for decades, over their objections. As both the scope and quality of bootleg material escalated, Beatles collectors found it increasingly difficult to keep up with it all. It was not always clear where the recorded material had come from since bootleggers often misrepresented dates and sources. Collectors were sometimes lured into purchasing material that had simply been recycled from earlier releases, and some bootleggers were not above pawning off non-Beatles recordings as the genuine article. It wasn't long before books and newsletters devoted to this forbidden fruit began to spring up. Among the few that provided both useful information and an entertaining format was Belmo's Beatleg News, a fanzine that offered reviews and descriptions of new bootlegs, amusing observations on the bootleg

scene, inside intelligence on new underground discoveries, and clever original art work. Unlike its competitors, Belmo's Beatleg News refused to take itself too seriously, and it never lost sight of the need to preserve the joy and fun that had originally kindled interest in these recordings. Thus, it seems both logical and inevitable that this comprehensive Beatles bootleg reference should be produced by Belmo himself. As his avid readers would expect, the volume is an extensive compilation of Beatles underground titles, including recordings made during their solo years, an era often ignored by Beatles scholars and discographers. In describing more than 1,000 Beatles bootlegs, it provides valuable additional guidance to collectors by distinguishing worthwhile from disposable discs. In short, it is the reference that most long-time Beatles collectors have wished for, and it is indispensable to newcomers lured into those forbidden Beatles record bins. It is certain to become one of the most dogeared, frequently-thumbed volumes on Beatles bookshelves everywhere. *Allen J. Wiener is the author of The Beatles: The Ultimate Recording Guide .

If the readers of this book are not familiar with Bob's Hot Wacks books, then I would highly recommend you search them out because the information on bootlegs (by hundreds of rock artists) compiled within their pages is invaluable.

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to my wife, Terri - the love of my life.

INTRODUCTION By Belmo You were standing at the station with a bootleg in your hand...* Bootlegs have been given a bum rap. For over twenty years the media and members of 'official' Beatledom have castigated bootlegs and those who manufacture and sell these underground records. These people (who should know better and probably do) have done everything in their power to make 'bootleg' a dirty word. I am here to tell you different. Because if you love Beatles music, then you cannot help but love the music on Beatles bootlegs (well, most of it anyway). Sure, I know bootlegs are illegal to manufacture and sell. I know the pros and cons of bootlegging can be argued for hours. And I understand why the artists and their record labels are opposed to bootlegs of their music. As an artist myself I can even sympathize with them. However, as a collector I see a tremendous value in bootlegs. The most obvious value is the preservation of musical artifacts for collectors and historians for this and future generations. I openly thank the bootleggers for saving the hundreds of hours of music (and thousands of songs) which would have been lost otherwise. This historically important music can now be studied and enjoyed for many years to come. Additionally, it is my belief that had it not been for the popularity of 'Beatlegs', The Beatles would not have released the BBC and ANTHOLOGY series in the 1990s. This is true for many other artists and record labels as well, and is evidenced by the proliferation of boxed sets filled with 'rarities' and of the reissued albums complete with 'bonus tracks'. Heck, Frank Zappa even reproduced actual bootlegs right down to the artwork in his series of releases called BEAT THE BOOTS. In recent years, new laws in Europe, the United States, the Far East, Canada and Australia have forced bootleg manufacturers even further underground. Distributors and retailers have been the victims of crackdowns, shakedowns and arrests. Still, the flow of bootlegs continue and probably always will. Why? Because music fans and collectors demand them. And until the record companies and their artists give the buying public what they want, bootlegging will exist at some level. There was a time not so very long ago when bootlegs and traders' tapes were in the possession of only a few persistent collectors and hard core fans. That era encompassed the years of the late Sixties and into the late Seventies. But in the early Eighties something extraordinary occurred when amazing outtakes started popping up on finely produced vinyl records (such as the NEMS Records series) and later on compact discs (ULTRA RARE series from Swingin' Pig). This time is now referred to as "The Golden Age of Bootlegs." This period culminated in the mid-Nineties when The Beatles released the six compact discs in their highly successful ANTHOLOGY series of 'official' outtakes, demos and live tracks. Millions of fans who had previously been ignorant of the existence of bootlegs or who had believed all that misinformation about the supposed 'nas-tiness' of bootlegs had suddenly come around to the pleasures of Beatles outtakes. Bootlegging The Beatles had come full circle. I fear that most of the significant and available (in the hands of private individuals) Beatles unreleased music has been bootlegged. By 1997 the Beatlegs being produced were mostly of previously released music and (with a few notable exceptions) offered little in the way of new music. Unhappily, the

bootleggers had reverted to their old methods of reissuing material with new titles and packaging. However, solo outtakes and concert material were still coming to light but at a snail's pace. Since the beginning of 1970 when I purchased my first Beatles bootleg (KUM BACK), I have acquired an additional 900 Beatlegs at an investment of nearly $15,000. In the years since there have been well over 1800 group and 600 solo titles released to a ravenous public hungry for new Beatles music. Certainly there is no way a collector can hope to collect all those titles - and there is really no reason you'd want them all. Much of the music is repeated on discs and sometimes the sound quality on many of the records is just plain awful. In 1987 I first began publishing my Beatles bootleg newsletter which I called Belmo's Beatleg News. It's purpose was to make sense of the new 'Beatleg' releases which had begun to pop up at an ever increasing rate. Hot Wacks bootleg discographies (see page 438 in book) also tried to decipher bootleg releases of nearly all the major rock artists. It was a daunting task. L.R.E. King authored two Beatles bootleg discography books (Do You Want To Know A Secret? and Fixing A Hole) in the late 1980s and Charles Reinhart wrote You Can't Do That in the early 1980s. All three books are good but have since become outdated. And in 1995 Jim Berkenstadt and I coauthored Black Market Beatles - a history of bootlegging and an in depth look at Beatles bootlegs (see page 437 in book). And while that book touched upon some of the major Beatlegs, detailed analysis was left for the book you are now holding in your hands. The purpose of this book is to fill the gaps left by those books and others like them. Should you attempt to locate the bootlegs reviewed herein, you may find it difficult as production runs were generally limited to a few hundred per title or to maybe several thousand copies of the more successful titles. Also, I cannot tell you where to find bootlegs. This book is a discography - not a catalog. I neither manufacture nor sell bootlegs. So please do not ask. I am aware that when writing a book of this magnitude errors and omissions may sometime occur, so feel free to write me with corrections and additions (include documentation!) so that I can correct the mistakes before the next printing. Thanks and keep on Beading! *HI HI HI (Paul McCartney) DISCOGRAPHY: AN EXPLANATION Not For Sale has been divided into categories and chronologically (where possible) to make it easier to access the information. For instance, if you want to look up The Beatles' 1965 Paris performances, you need only go to TOUR YEARS: PARIS 1965 to find the bootlegs relating to those performances. In the sections where a chronology is not feasible (such as COLLECTIONS, DEMOS & ODDITIES), I have arranged the titles alphabetically or in sub-categories. In some cases there is crossover of titles for which I could find no way around, so you will find a few titles listed more than once. It is not uncommon for a bootleg to have one side BBC songs and the other GET BACK sessions. There are no rules when it comes to compiling a bootleg. A number of past bootleg discography books arranged the titles just alphabetically. While that makes it easy to find the bootlegs when you know their names, it serves little purpose when you need to locate comparable subject matter (such as ABBEYROAD outtakes). So I have followed my own sense of logic as to how the discography should be organized. It seems to work. If it doesn't work for you, just remember the words of that great philosopher as preserved forever on Melvin's BEATLES VS DON HO: "If we haven't done everything we could have done, we tried".

Not For Sale is arranged in the following manner:

THE BEATLES (GROUP BOOTLEGS)

THE EARLY YEARS: This chapter focuses on the releases relating to and including the recordings of the Quarry Men, The Beatles with Pete Best, Cavern Club material, Tony Sheridan sessions, The Star Club and the Decca Audition Tapes. The bootlegs of this period illustrate how The Beatles grew and evolved and eventually found their own sound which became the worldwide phenomenon known as Beatlemania. RADIO SHOWS: The most famous and possibly most bootlegged performances by The Beatles originate with the Fab Four's appearances on the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) in the early 1960's. Perhaps more than any of their live performances, these radio shows capture the excitement of Beatlemania (without the screaming fans!) as our heroes sing and perform rare rock and roll tunes as well as Beatles originals. Happily, the sound quality of the surviving tapes are quite good and have been preserved on disc by such far-seeing labels as Great Dane and BEEB Transcription Records. TELEVISION APPEARANCES: From 1963 to 1968 The Beatles performed live and mimed on numerous television programs in England, Europe and the United States. In those days television exposure was quite important to the career of an artist and spots on television music programs were at a premium. It was The Beatles performances on the Ed Sullivan Show that brought the Fab Four to the attention of the world and led the way for the British Invasion. For the most part I have only reviewed the bootlegs that featured actual 'live' performances by The Beatles. THE TOUR YEARS: The Beatles first real city-to-city tours began in 1963 and ended at Candlestick Park in San Francisco in 1966. During that time they performed in over 100 cities and their concerts were recorded by various people using a wide range of recording devices (some of which were nowhere near soundboard quality). The Beatles' concerts typically lasted less than 30 minutes and the shows changed very little from one date to the next. Consequently, many of the live concert bootlegs are boring and unlistenable; however, there are some pleasant surprises out there. STUDIO OUTTAKES: There is nothing as exciting as 'listening in' on The Beatles while they are in the studio working on a song. Hearing the outtakes is like being a fly on the wall as The Beatles' creative process is exposed. It is thrilling and entertaining to 'be there' when lyrics are muffed or guitar lines are experimented with. And to hear the working demos and alternate mixes of songs is akin to finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It is impossible to be unmoved when you hear the outtakes. GET BACK SESSIONS: For many collectors this is the most painful period in The Beatles' musical career. The seemingly endless and often uninspired rehearsals offered up very little in the way of great music. However, there would occasionally be sparks of greatness and The Beatles would actually rock. To relieve the boredom they would play old rock and roll standards or break into long jams. Sometimes they would argue among themselves or Yoko Ono would screech to John's guitar feedback. Youch! The bootlegs of this period mostly originated from the film footage shot of The Beatles at Twickenham's sound stage in London. Some of it comes from the Apple studio or the Apple rooftop. About thirty hours of this material is available and another sixty hours is rumored to be floating around in the hands of a few collectors. (Bootleggers are still threatening to release these sessions.) COLLECTIONS, DEMOS & ODDITIES: This chapter brings together the bootlegs that contain a hodge podge of material. Unlike a concert bootleg, for example, which has a set theme and location, the bootlegs in this section may have live material, studio outtakes, radio shows and spoken word all mingled together on one disc (such as STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER on NEMS) or on a multidisc set (ARTIFACTS on Big Music). Also included are those collectible 'oddities' that could only find a home in this section.

SOLO BOOTLEGS
JOHN LENNON: Lennon's solo career lasted only ten years, but thanks to Yoko Ono Lennon this career extended well into the Nineties. The ground-breaking radio series, 'The Lost Lennon Tapes,' ran for more than four years on the Westwood One network from 1988 to 1992. With Yoko's blessing and her active participation in the program, listeners were treated to many rare home recordings, studio session tapes and concert material. The program had its flaws but for the most part it was a treasure trove for collectors. Bootleggers quickly pressed albums of the material and the fans eagerly bought everything that came their way. Lennon, a fan of bootlegs himself, would have been proud. PAUL McCARTNEY: It is only natural that there are more bootlegs of McCartney's music than of the other three Beatles. McCartney has played more tour dates, made more television appearances and recorded more albums than his former bandmates. When you look at the type and quantity of McCartney bootlegs ('McBeatlegs'?!), it is truly amazing that there is so much rare music that has slipped through the cracks and found its way to collectors. Concert bootlegs are one thing but studio outtakes and home demos are a totally different story. Plenty of rarities exist that will keep McCartney historians busy for years to come. GEORGE HARRISON: Not as prolific as McCartney and Lennon, Harrison was still one hell of a songwriter. George's studio outtakes and home recordings illustrate the workmanship behind his songs. Just give a listen to the outtakes from ALL THINGS MUST PASS and you'll be amazed by his skill and intuition when it comes to song writing. Harrison's 1974 concert tour was a very unpleasant experience for him (illness and bad reviews), so he avoided touring until his pal Eric Clapton convinced him to tour Japan in 1991. Consequently, Harrison concert bootlegs are naturally small in number. And although his concert presence was not as strong as Paul's or John's, his musicianship was exceptional (as many bootlegs show). RINGO STARR: Ringo may be a great drummer, but he is not a notable songwriter. This fact is evidenced by the lack of outtakes and home recordings of his music. The studio outtakes we do have are generally uninteresting and uninspired. He was always content to be a sideman to The Beatles and even after the end of that group he was often called upon by others to play drums at studio sessions and conceit gigs. He even tried his hand at acting in movies and on television (with some success). Who can forget his role as a Neanderthal in Caveman or as the train conductor on Shining Time Station! Ringo's best album was Ringo and he had a respectable number of solo hits (such as Back Off Boogaloo). He even made a bit of a comeback in the 1990's with the nicely produced Time Takes Time and several years of touring with his ALL STARR BAND. But the fact is that Ringo's career never really went very far after The Beatles and so bootleggers didn't invest much time or effort in producing underground recordings of Richard Starkey. COLLECTIONS: This section gathers together those bootlegs that feature outtakes by some or all of The Beatles from their solo years. There are titles to be found in the Group Beatles that might also be appropriate here, but which I did not list for repetition sake. Most of these collections were put together at the whim of bootleggers and generally made little sense. The exception to this was ARTIFACTS III, which collected rare solo material and arranged it chronologically. And, on occasion, a collection surprised us with a rare tidbit or two not available anywhere else. So read closely. For the bootlegs that I deem to be of major importance, collectible or of some significant interest, I have written a detailed description of the record, which includes TITLE, LABEL, MATRIX #, FORMAT, YEAR MANUFACTURED, SOURCE, SOUND QUALITY and a RATING. Additionally, I offer a brief analysis of the bootleg, historical background information, song listings, timings, packaging information, data on related titles and other tidbits, which might be useful to the collector. Minor

bootlegs are listed and include brief descriptions of their contents. Generally, I listed the song titles as the bootleggers reported them; but common sense will help the reader when determining the actual titles. If it wasn't immediately obvious, I noted it as such. For the most part the bootlegs are identified as either being on vinyl or on compact disc. If it is not clear to you, just see if there are 'sides' listing the tracks. Since a CD has only one side, then the boots with more than one side must be vinyl recordings! OK? And, of course, with over 2400 titles manufactured over the years, I had to be somewhat selective as to what should be included (or not) in this book. What are generally not covered here are common interview discs, CDR's, tapes traded by collectors, bootleg videos, official imports, and legitimate releases.

THOSE TERMS
ACETATE: A one-sided disc which is heavier than commercially pressed records. Distribution is usually restricted to the artists, producers, management and publishing sectors of the industry. Oftentimes the acetate features a pre-final mix of the record and is therefore highly sought after by collectors. ALTERNATE: Refers to a different version, take, or mix of a song that is commercially released. BEATLEG: A bootleg of music by The Beatles. The word is a hybrid of 'Beatles' and 'bootleg' - the origin of which is lost somewhere in the mists of time. BOOTLEG: Bootlegs or underground recordings include unreleased material, such as demonstration and rehearsal tapes, studio outtakes and alternate takes, TV/radio performances and concerts. COUNTERFEIT: Unauthorized recordings that attempt to completely reproduce an officially released album, including the music, album artwork and label graphics. DEMO: A demonstration disc or tape used by artists, producers, music publishers and record companies for a variety of purposes. Usually consists of a rough version of a song yet to be formally recorded and produced. FORMAT: How the title was released - LP (vinyl), CD (compact disc), EP (extended play), 45, etc. LABEL: The name of the company which is printed on the label or disc - though it may not necessarily be the same company manufacturing the disc. It may say SWINGIN' PIG on the label, but the bootleggers may have used that name as a cover or as an effort to give their product legitimacy. Also, some manufacturers have subsidiary labels (PEG-BOY is a sub label of VIGOTONE). MATRIX #: This is the identifying code (usually in the form of numbers and/or letters) printed on the cover or disc by the manufacturer to identify the disc or its sequential place in a catalog. Oftentimes different bootlegs will have the same matrix numbers. MONITOR MIX: An off-line (not tape-to-tape direct) recording taped from the studio monitors during the preliminary mixing of a song. Often done when the artist needed a quick copy of a session to take home for later use. OUTFAKE: An 'outtake' created by a bootlegger(s) with the purpose of passing off a re-mixed legitimate take as an alternate take. OUTTAKE: Refers to a finished track that is usually left off of a commercial release -relegated to the studio vaults.

PIRATE DISC: Unauthorized recordings that reproduce legitimately released music, with no attempt made to reproduce the legitimate album cover artwork or labels. RATING: This is highly subjective and is determined by these requirements: 1) The HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE of the material. Is it rare? Is it collectible? Does it add to our knowledge of the Beatles? 2) SOUND QUALITY. Is it crisp, clean and free of pops and snaps? Is it distinguishable from the screams of the fans? Is it soundboard quality? 3) ENJOYABILITY. Is it a disc I would listen to a number of times? Is it fun to listen to? Is it easy to dance to? 4) PACKAGING. Does it come with accurate liner notes? Is it nicely packaged? Does it have a printed color cover or a black and white xeroxed cover? Is there a picture disc? Are there unique photos or artwork? All of these factors were taken into consideration when I rated the featured discs using the 'five star' rating system. Hence: * (One Star): Poor. Don't bother. No redeeming value. Horrid sound and poor packaging. ** (Two Stars): Fair. Just passable. Only for the serious collector. Maybe an item or two worth having. *** (Three Stars): Good. An above average bootleg which should satisfy most collectors. **** (Four Stars): Very Good. Has a lot going for it. The material is worthy and it has very nice packaging. For both the casual collector and the hardcore fan. Highly recommended. ***** (Five Stars): Excellent. It doesn't get any better than this. Superb sound quality. Excellent packaging. And the music itself is a MUST HAVE for all Beatles fans. SOURCE: Signifies if the music was from a recording studio, television or radio broadcasts, home recordings, audience concert tapes, soundboard concert tapes, monitor mixes, alternate mixes, or legitimate cover versions. I also state whether the songs are stereo or mono - though sometimes it is not always that clear cut with some of the bootlegs and so I've made a 'best guess' on those. SOUND QUALITY: From 'poor' (unlistenable), 'fair' (barely listenable), 'good' (average quality), 'very good' (above average) to 'excellent' (as good as any legitimate release). TITLE: The actual title of the bootleg as found on the front cover or the spine. 'A', 'An', and, 'The' are dropped for the purpose of alphabetizing. YEAR: The year (when known) when the title was made available to the public, NOT the year the music was recorded. You will find the date the music was recorded in the description of the material.

This spelling of the group's name is from a letter written by Paul to Butlin's nightclub in an attempt to procure a playing gig. (Thus the title for this set.) As we all know The Beatals would eventually become The BEATLES. The songs on these two compact discs feature the only known recordings made with Stuart Sutcliffe and their historical importance cannot be overemphasized. Here we have The Beatles in their embryonic stages as they musically search for an identity. Old standards, blues, improvisational jams and originals are all explored. Three of these songs (Matchbox, One After 909 and I'll Follow The Sun) would appear on Beatles albums. Although the music on these discs have appeared on numerous bootlegs in various quality and form, this is the best one available. The music has been digitally remastered, the songs are logically arranged, the liner notes are thorough and accurate, and the booklet features nice photographic reproductions from this time period. This bootleg comes in a color slipcase and is complemented nicely with a 28-page booklet.

The Madman label is a subsidiary of Vigotone. It should be noted that there has been a lot of discussion and debate as to when these recordings were made. In an interview with Mark Lewisohn, Paul McCartney stated that they were recorded in his home in Liverpool in 1960. This is certainly true for some of the songs but not all of them. A number of the songs were recorded in Hamburg in the fall of 1960 as the playing of I'll Follow The Sun on a 1966 German TV show proved out. No matter what the exact dates were, there is no question that these songs are truly golden artifacts. The earliest appearance of these tracks were on THE QUARRYMEN REHEARSE WITH STU SUTCLIFFE SPRING 1960 (Pre Beatle Records) LP, THE QUARRYMEN AT HOME (Blackshop Records - BS 007) LP, LIVERPOOL MAY 1960: JOHN PAUL GEORGE AND STU (Indra - M56001) 2LPs.

A few of the larger department stores in the United States carried this disc for a short time and at a discounted price. The titles given to the instrumental jams were contrarily chosen by the bootleggers though Thinking of Linking may be the real thing. The last track, That'll Be The Day, is a snippet of the complete Quarry Men acetate which later appeared in its entirety on ANTHOLOGY 1.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Pete Best played their hearts out but the group was ultimately turned down by Decca's A& R man, Mike Smith. (I am sure Decca has forever regretted that decision!) Semi-legitimate releases of the Decca Tapes have appeared through the years; however, the sound quality was never as good as we have here. Also, the three Lennon-McCartney titles (Like Dreamers Do, Hello Little Girl and Love of the Loved) were usually omitted for the obvious copyright reasons. The last five tracks are from a Beatles rehearsal at the Cavern Club on Mathew Street in Liverpool. It is believed these songs were recorded sometime in early September 1962.

The legality of the records have been questioned ever since. However, the historical importance of this material cannot be questioned. These raw Beatles performances (from two or more sets) from December 1962 were captured on tape by Adrian Barber at 'King Size' Taylor's request. They sat in a box for ten years until Allan Williams finally had them released to the general public. They have been edited in various forms by numerous manufacturers. No release to date has the entire uncut versions of these rare performances. This disc is notable in that the songs have been digitally remastered and are the best we are likely to hear of these performances. It is not, however, complete (most notably it is missing Red Hot). It has been rumored that FOUR shows were taped and feature numerous songs not listed above. Hopefully these will come to light someday. Related Titles: THE BEATLES VS.

Of the 288 performances recorded, Great Dane rescued and preserved on disc 247 of these. An amazing feat considering that a number of the shows had been erased by the shows' producers and only existed in the collections of a few historically-minded fans. Sadly, some are lost forever. While the sound quality varies due to the numerous tape sources, the overall quality is quite good. The 247 songs are chronologically arranged and the set comes with a beautiful, full-sized color book with excellent liner notes and BBC sessions information. The Beatles' live performances were captured best during then- BBC sessions - no screaming fans, just great rock and roll performed by the world's most exciting band. In a number of cases even a lot of the chat between The Beatles and their radio hosts is included. Certainly, this is the BEST BOOTLEG EVER. This fantastic bootleg preserves these important shows with style and respect. A must have for any serious Beatles collector. (Note: Some collectors have reported 'CD rot' on some of their discs on this set. If caught in time, the discs can be cleaned and the CDs will play as normal. If not, the discs will be beyond repair and will cause the collector much distress!) Bootlegs of various BBC material are probably more numerous than any other period of The Beatles' careers. Some are excellent - many are not. The Beatles themselves released a two disc set (69 songs) of BBC material in 1994 called LIVE AT THE BBC, but it was woefully incomplete. For those of you with a computer and a CD Rom drive, LQE Productions has a disc (THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS CDC 9117) with the music and liner notes from the entire Great Dane Box Set as well as from HERE WE GO and THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB - TV. It is quite an amazing disc. Should you not want to opt for the Great Dane set I would recommend you search out some of the following:

HERE WE GO was recorded March 6,1963 in Manchester at the Playhouse Theatre and was broadcast by the 'BBC Light Programme FM' on March 12, 1963. The show was thought to have been lost, but when the collector holding the tape saw Great Dane's THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS he quickly contacted the Italians who immediately rush released it. The tape features three Beatles numbers: Misery, Do You Want To Know A Secret and Please Please Me totaling 13:46. The rest of the show features two songs by The Trad Lads, Ben Rishmond performing Warmed Over Kisses and The Northern Dance Orchestra playing Waltz In Jazz Time. The Beatles had also recorded I Saw her Standing There but the song was not aired. This was the first time the public got to hear Misery and Do You Want To Know A Secret. Their album debut would be released on March 22,1963. This material is included on a Japanese compilation called MOD! SING THE BEATLES. This disc also includes tracks from 'Ready Steady Go' and The Music of Lennon & McCartney' television special.

'The Mersey Sound' was filmed at Little Theatre in Southport, England, between August 27-30, 1963. Twist and Shout and She Loves You were live recordings while Love Me Do was mimed. The show aired October 9, 1963, on BBC1. 'It's The Beatles' was taken from an afternoon taping session on December 7,1963 at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool. It was transmitted on BBC1 later in the day. On this show The Beatles sang an altered version of I Want To Hold Your Hand, Money, Twist and Shout and performed an instrumental version of From Me To You and a bit of Third Man Theme. 'A Degree Of Frost' featured Paul McCartney being interviewed by David Frost at TV Centre in London on April 15, 1964, and was transmitted on BBC1 on September 1, 1964. 'Not Only...But Also' guested John Lennon with Dudley Moore and Norman Rossington on their comedy show. John's poem Deaf Ted was read as a film interpretation by the three men. The show was recorded November 20, 1964 and November 29, 1964, and transmitted on BBC1 on January 9, 1965. 'Tonight' featured John Lennon reciting his poems General Erection and The Magic Dog. The show was transmitted live from Lime Grove Studios in London on June 18, 1965. 'Morecambe And Wise' has The Beatles making mad with comedians Eric and Ernie. The original show aired in 1964 but was recorded December 2, 1963 at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood. The Beatles performed This Boy, All My Loving, and I Want To Hold Your Hand, and as a finale the group sings On Moonlight Bay. All but All My Loving would be released on The Beatles ANTHOLOGY 1 in 1995. All My Loving can be found on Yellow Dog's HOLLYWOOD BOWL COMPLETE (YD-034) released on CD in 1993.

Clever fellow. This disc consists of three shows available on videotape. The first track from 'Shindig' is the undubbed version and is only available on this disc. It was not on the videotape. The sound quality for the 'Shindig' and 'Drop In' shows are excellent. The Washington concert is only fair as the tape of the concert itself was never very good. In addition, as with the video of the Washington show, Twist And Shout is cut short because the original film crew ran out of tape before the concert's final number. This Spank release comes in a nice color slipcase and includes a 28-page booklet with excellent liner notes and some rare photos from the Washington concert and 'Shindig.'

An excellent collection of nearly all The Beatles appearances on Ed's 'Really Big Shew.' Missing are the film clip soundtracks of Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever (February 12, 1967) and Two Of Us (February 15, 1970). Also, only a portion of the Miami rehearsal tape is included on this disc. The sound quality is quite good and is taken from video. The quality on a few of the tracks do sound a bit muffled (Hello Goodbye), but overall it is more than satisfactory. Probably the best sound quality of this material can be found on Yellow Dog's box set, THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION VOL. 1. That set will be reviewed later in the book. The Shea Stadium material was added because Ed himself introduced The Beatles at the show. These songs are from the film soundtrack.

The show was a live broadcast of Val Parnell's 'Sunday Night At The London Palladium.' The remaining tracks are from the February 23, 1964 broadcast of 'Big Night Out' filmed at Teddington Studios in London. All the songs from 'Big Night Out' are the commercial versions as The Beatles mimed their performances. The sound quality of the 'Palladium' tracks is so-so here. The best source for this material is RULING QUEEN ELIZABETH...THE BEATLES LIVE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM 1962-65 (Bulldog Records: BGCD-11112). This 2CD set was released in 1990 from Italy. Contraband Music released their own version of the above LP in 1975 to no one's benefit. Finally, I have not listed ABC MANCHESTER (Wizardo, WRMB 361) which also claims to contain Val Parnell's 'Sunday Night At The London Palladium' of October 13, 1963, because they ARE NOT on this disc. You can, however, find /'// Get You on ANTHOLOGY 1 and Twist And Shout on BEATLES AT THE BEEB VOL. 7. Two songs from that program have not been bootlegged at the time of this book. They are From Me To You and She Loves You. A tape of the entire program is in the hands of a few fortunate collectors.

August 1, 1965, from 'Blackpool Night Out' recorded at the ABC Theatre in Blackpool This is the best collection of these performances you will find. The sound quality is quite good and the songs are in the correct order. Some Other Guy was partially broadcast on ANTHOLOGY and is also available on ARTIFACTS. The Some Other Guy (acetate version) can be found on THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION VOL. I on Yellow Dog Records. The 'Royal Variety Show' of 1963 can also be found on THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB 7 (BEEB Transcription) and on BY ROYAL COMMAND (7 inch EP on Deccagone). ANTHOLOGY! also contains She Loves You, Till There Was You, and Twist And Shout from that show. Additionally, this set is available as a picture-CD set. Highly recommended.

The energy and enthusiasm flow from this record and you can't help but feel some of that old "Beatlemania." John Lennon repeatedly stated that this show was his favorite. He felt this was The Beatles at their best and I agree. The tape came from Swedish radio where it was aired in October 1963. The program was taped live in Karlaplan Studio in Stockholm, Sweden, for 'POP '63.' The disc contains the best sound available for the show. It can also be found on Swingin' Pig's LP STARS OF '63 (TSP-005) and Yellow Dog's ULTIMATE COLLECTION VOL. 2 albeit in lesser quality. Additionally, ANTHOLOGY I includes all the songs except for Twist And Shout and She Loves You. Do not confuse this disc with STARS OF '63 (Super Live Concert Series) (Gamma Alpha Records) which is just a pirate of the Bellaphon STAR CLUB set released in 1977.

Twist And Shout Long Tall Sally First Radio Interview 27th October 1962 Side Three: You Can't Do That All My Loving She Loves You Can't Buy Me Love Twist And Shout Long Tall Sally Side Four: Adelaide Press Conference M.B.E. Award Interview When The Beatles arrived in Adelaide, Australia, in June 1964 the press corps reported 300,000 screaming fans lining the streets to greet their heroes as they made their way from the airport to the stadium. This was probably a bit of an exaggeration but not by much. These LPs are quite listenable and while the screaming is annoying, it does not overwhelm the overall performance. Jimmy Nicol performed at the Adelaide concert as Ringo had yet to reach Australia following his illness. Ringo would replace Jimmy at the Melbourne shows and all shows thereafter. The songs on sides one and two are from the June 12, 1964 concert held at Centennial Hall in Adelaide. The quality is very good as the performances were made from a line recording to be aired later on Adelaide radio. The 'First Radio Interview' was recorded October 27, 1962 at Port Sunlight in The Wirral, England, by Monty Lister. This interview can be found on the free flexi disc included in the first pressing of Mark Lewisohn's book The Beatles Live. Side three is also a line recording made for the Australian broadcast 'The Beatles Sing For Shell' (this program has been circulating in trading circles for years as a poor quality video). The performance was recorded at the Festival Hall in Melbourne on June 16, 1964. Side four includes a rather uninspired interview from June 12,1964 by Bob Rogers and a newsreel interview concerning the M.B.E. awards recorded in October 1965. 300,000 BEATLE FANS CAN'T BE WRONG LIVING LEGEND RECORDS LLRCD 031 C: BCD.

The level of screaming is at about the level you would expect it to be. The press conference and radio coverage are interesting and collectible. It certainly illustrates what "Beatlemania" was all about. Additionally, The Beatles appear to have forgotten to perform I 'Want To Hold Your Hand due to the excitement. The concert itself was purportedly recorded from the PA system. Available on WRMB 340 & Box Top on CV and as a CD on VANCOUVER '647 WASHINGTON '64 (Living Legend/Why Not Records WNR-3001).

However, this set is now the definitive set as it contains all three complete concerts in STEREO as well as the press conference from August 29, 1965, and an interview with John and Ringo from 1964. You will note that during the first four songs from the August 29th show, Paul's microphone failed and thus - no Paul. The sound quality on these tracks is superb and are from stereo line recordings. These tapes evidently came from Yellow Dog Records as Midnight Beat makes a point of thanking them on the cover. I am curious as to why Yellow Dog didn't release these as part of their box set. One final note: these discs were released as CDRs on the Repro Man label within weeks following then- entry into the United States.

The performances are first rate and the quality is mind blowing. This disc is a must have for all fans. Too bad Capitol/EMI didn't have the sense to release this entire concert. The second set is not quite as good, but it definitely deserves repeated listenings. It is a mono recording and is very good quality. (Six of the songs were released on the legit Capitol release LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.) The final three cuts are unidentified performances from 1964 (exact locations and dates are unknown). One theory is that they might be from the 'Cerebral Palsy Charity Concert' performed at the Paramount Theatre in New York on September 20, 1964.

I'm Down While not quite as nice a piece as the Yellow Dog HOLLYWOOD BOWL: COMPLETE, this disc still has a lot to recommend it. Here we have the obscure Indianapolis concert from 1964. The tape of this concert had supposedly been in the possession of a disc jockey from an Indianapolis radio for over twenty years before he realized what he had. Thankfully he wised up and gave the tape to a collector who helped the tape find its way to Italy and the folks at Great Dane Records. The Hollywood Bowl is the same as on Yellow Dog's disc; however, it is inferior in sound quality here and I'm told it runs about 8 percent slower than it should.

The Indiana show is excellent mono and eclipses Great Dane's release in sound quality. The afternoon Houston show suffers from 'muddiness' and lacks the clarity of the Indiana show. John's voice is suffering and is most evident on Dizzy Miss Lizzy. There is also some tape distortion which disrupts a few of the songs. The Philly concert is excellent sound quality. However, the guitars and drums are nearly lost in the background on most of the songs. For a laugh John introduces If I Fell as If I Fell Overl This is the same show that for years was called the 'Whiskey Flats' concert. The Houston show from the evening suffers the same problems as the afternoon concert. Overall, this Yellow Dog release is quite worthy and is one to have in your collection.

It was taken from a tape which has been circulating among collectors for years (A Hard Days Night, Boys and Long Tall Sally are also in circulation but are not included here). The sound quality of this concert is very poor. There is little good that can be said for any of these recordings as the screaming of the teenyboppers goes beyond annoying. This disc is only for the hardcore collector. The packaging, however, is very nice. It comes in a graphically pleasing slip-case and includes an informative booklet with some rare color photos of The Beatles and liner notes lifted from a Tony Barrow piece. It also has reproductions of newspaper articles printed at the time of the shows.

Introduction Twist And Shout I Feel Fine Dizzy Miss Lizzy Ticket To Ride Can't Buy Me Love Baby's In Black A Hard Day's Night Help! I'm Down Candlestick Park/August 29, 1966: Rock And Roll Music She's A Woman If I Needed Someone Day Tripper Baby's In Black Yesterday I Wanna Be Your Man Paperback Writer Long Tall Sally (incomplete) The Shea Stadium segment is from the soundtrack of the television special and is very good mono. The Candlestick Park tape is, of course, from Tony Barrow's recording of The Beatles' last concert of 1966. Barrow's tape ran out before the end of Long Tall Sally. And after Sally The Beatles started to play In My Life but they must have thought better of it and left the stage leaving only memories behind. This Spank release (by way of Vigotone) has nice packaging. The CD is housed in a color slipcase and comes with a 48-page booklet with photos and liner notes borrowed from Tony Barrow and Mark Lewisohn. For the very best sound quality versions of these two concerts, search out Japan's Masterdisc "Original Master Recordings" of CANDLESTICK PARK (MDCD-007) and THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW on Beat (BEAT CD 011-2).

Porte de Versailles at 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM on June 20. The concerts were filmed for Paris television and tapes of the Beatles' performances have circulated for a number of years.

I'm Down Tokyo/July 1, 1966: Rock And Roll Music She's A Woman If I Needed Someone Day Tripper Baby's In Black I Feel Fine Yesterday I Wanna Be Your Man Nowhere Man Paperback Writer I'm Down Both of these shows are from the videos of The Beatles performances at the Budokan Arena in Japan. The July 1st concert is the 'light suits' show (the Fab Four wore dark suits the first night and light suits the second). The disc titles incorrectly states that the concerts here are from 1964. They are actually from 1966. What's with these bootleggers?!

Sound Quality: Very good stereo/mono Rating: *** Total Time: 58:00 How Do You Do Blackbird The Unicorn Lalena Heather Mr. Wind The Walrus And The Carpenter Land Of Gish Octopus's Garden Her Majesty Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight You Never Give Me Your Money Oh! Darling Maxwell's Silver Hammer Something Because A Huge Melody (Pt. 1) A Huge Melody (Pt. 2) The songs on this disc have been bootlegged numerous times, but the best versions can be found on this disc and on Yellow Dog's UNSURPASSED MASTERS VOL. 5. The McCartney/Donovan material here is the best you'll find. Tracks 1-8 Paul and Donovan during sessions for Mary Hopkin's POSTACARD LP Nov. '68 - Jan. '69. Tracks 9-18 early mono mixes and takes recorded between Apr. and Aug. 1 '69. A Huge Melody (PT. l) consists of the melody as originally intended: You Never Give Me Your Money/Sun King/Mean Mister Mustard/Polythene Pam/ She Came In Through The Bathroom Window. A Huge Melody (PT. 2): Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/ The End. These are especially interesting because we can now know for certain that these melodies were planned ahead of time and were not an afterthought.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Take 1- acoustic version) Because (July 1969) (backing vocals only) Dream No. 9 ( from Lennon's WALLS AND BRIDGES) (cv) Studio rehearsals, alternate takes & unreleased songs played during the 'Abbey Road Studio Tours' July 18 - Sept. 11 1983. The tours were audio/visual shows presented by EMI at Abbey Road Studios and were open to the public. The songs were recorded off speakers so the quality suffers a bit. A video of the show also circulates among collectors. It is believed that much of the studio material to appear on bootlegs a few years later originated from this period. At the time of its release, this set was a revelation for collectors and a precursor of bootlegs to come. The cover is double fold and is in black and white.

The two most interesting items are the Kevin Godley tape of Real Love and the slightly different mix of Come Together by the Smokin' Mojo Filters. The rest has been released on many other discs. This is certainly not an essential release and is only for those who would like the Lennon demos all in one spot. Other bootleggers quickly jumped on the bandwagon and released then- own discs of familiar material featuring Lennon's demos and assorted tracks - none of those bootlegs were really very good. Two that come to mind are DEHRA DUN and REAL LOVE.

The makers of COME TOGETHER (BEATLES IN THE 90's) followed up that disc with WHEN I GET OLDER (BEATLES IN THE 90's). It was just more ANTHOLOGY video songs and mostly Lennon demos (previously released). The highlights on that disc were Now And Then (once rumored to be the third Beatles reunion song), / Need Your Loving (John, George & Doris Troy from 'Ready Steady Go' in 1965), and 6 O'clock (the extended version). CONTROL ROOM MONITOR MIXES YELLOW DOG (YD 032) CD 1993 Source: Monitor tapes Sound Quality:Very good to excellent/ mono & stereo Rating: **** Total Time: 49:58 Across The Universe (outtake Feb. 4 '68) For No One (take 1, take 2 May 9 '66) I'm The Walrus (take 7, 8 and 9 Sept. 5 '67) For No One (May 16 vocal overdub) Here There And Everywhere (June 16 '66) Sexie Sadie (bits and pieces July 19 '68) Brain Epstein Blues (July 19 '68) Sexie Sadie Lady Madonna (from unidentified session) Happiness Is A Warm Gun (single track from remix session Oct. 15 '68) I'm So Tired (backing track) I'm So Tired 1, I'm So Tired 2, I'm So Tired 3 (remixes) I'm So Tired 4 (incomplete) The tracks on this disc are from an off-line recording taped from studio monitors during the preliminary mix. The Beatles often recorded their sessions in this manner to be taken home as reference tapes. Across The Universe is John alone on guitar. The REVOLVER cuts feature Paul on some alternate mixes. Lady Madonna is an unused backing track being played over the monitors with Paul adding vocals while listening to the track in the control room. Happiness Is A Warm Gun and the takes of I'm So Tired appeared on NOTHING BUT AGING. There is some tape drag on the takes of I'm So Tired. Overall, a very nice disc with new versions of these songs in a way we have not heard before. GONE TOMORROW HERE TODAY MIDNIGHT BEAT RECORDS (MB CD 113) CD 1997 Source: Studio outtakes/film Sound Quality: Excellent stereo/mono Rating: **** Total Time: 51:32 Hey Jude Dear Prudence Blackbird Blackbird/Congratulations Blackbird Blackbird/Studio Chat Studio Chat/Helter Skelter/Gone Tomorrow Here Today Studio Chat Blackbird Blackbird/Studio Chat

74

Mother Nature's Son Blackbird (5 takes) Organ Play/Drinking Tea Blackbird (2 takes) Hey Jude here is a previously unheard version. It is probably from July 30, 1968, and features Paul on vocals minus George on electric guitar. Dear Prudence is an alternate mix with the bass more 'up front', the fadeout is longer, and John's vocals heavilyechoed. This track is in mono. The numerous mono takes of Blackbird are evidently from the Tony Bramwell film which Apple had filmed on July 11, 1968, and used as an Apple promo. Only one of the takes of Blackbird and the short Helter Skelter had been bootlegged previously (see Yellow Dog's THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION VOL. 1). And while listening to all these takes and 'breakdowns' of Blackbird gets a bit monotonous, there are some interesting bits. The most notable bit is when Paul breaks into a new song ( Gone Tomorrow Here Today) which lasts only a very brief half minute. There is also some interesting chat between John & Paul, George Martin & John, and John & Yoko. Many will find these sessions to be an excellent opportunity to 'sit in' with Paul and friends during the recording of one of his nicer ballads. An exciting release for collectors but a difficult one to locate in the United States. In the spring of 1997 there was a major bust in Florida where several of the major players in the bootleg scene were 'set up' and busted by the authorities. This came right at the time when the man from Midnight Beat was about to import his newest releases (tapes from recently defunk Yellow Dog perhaps?) into the U.S. Unfortunately, he was nabbed and his product was delayed. However, persevering collectors were able to locate the new discs which were being distributed in Europe and the Far East. And it was a short time later that CDR 'knockoffs' on the Repro Man label were soon available in the U.S. for fans who couldn't find the originals. This is no doubt the wave of the future. HELP !

that hasn't been out before. Basically an unremarkable collection except for the nice upgrade of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Masterdisc did some playing around with some of the tracks, but generally did little to improve the music. Masterdisc (OMR) followed up this release with PRIMAL COLOURS (MDCD 009). More WHITE ALBUM outtakes which had all been previously released. Nothing to recommend here either.

The March 5, 1963 session was previously released on Yellow Dog's UNSURPASSED MASTERS series, but this is better sounding. Previously unbooted takes are 3-5 of From Me To You, 5 & 6 of Thank You Girl, and 3-5 of The One After 909. This is a disc certainly worth having in your collection. And as mentioned in an earlier chapter of this book, the Decca Tapes here has been speed-corrected. The disc comes with some nice graphics and liner notes 'borrowed' from Mark Lewisohn. ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDINGS BEAT (CD 013-2) 2CD 1995 Source: Master tapes ? Sound Quality: Excellent stereo Rating: ***** Not a bootleg but a pirated copy of the first four albums by The Beatles. What is so special about this release is that we get to hear PLEASE PLEASE ME, WITH THE BEATLES, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, and BEATLES FOR SALE in stereo. These are superb discs and are a must have for anyone wanting to these albums in stereo (it is unlikely that EMI will ever release these in that format). You can literally hear the singers taking breaths between verses and you can hear their fingers on the guitar strings. That is how good the sound is on these. Most likely BEAT copied the Japanese releases of these albums. If you are lucky enough to find the Japanese versions, they will set you back about $50 apiece. This set cost about $40 at the time of its release. PLEASE PLEASE ME...AND 3 OTHER BLASTS PDL BISQUES (PDL 5001) CD Please Please Me, Ask Me Why, Don't Bother Me & Ill Cry Instead. This is actually a pirate of the Dick James promo-only CD and all four songs are in stereo. Excellent sound quality. Very rare and hard to find. PSYCHEDELIC YEARS II LSD RECORDS (LSD-004/5/6) 3CDs 1994 Reissue of previously available material - at least no outfakes which plagued the first volume (THE PSYCHEDELIC YEARS: 1966-1968, Banzai BZBX0021-3 , 3CD box set) in the series. Included on this set are the mono versions of RUBBER SOUL and REVOLVER, Run For Your Life (take 5), This Bird Has Flown (takes 1 & 2, and two alternate mixes), Norwegian Wood (take 4), Day Tripper (takes 13), We Can Work It Out (demo, takes 1 & 2, and alternate mix), I'm Looking Through You (four different takes and alternate mix), 12-Bar Original (four takes and jam), Think For Yourself (studio chat), Tomorrow Never Knows (two takes), Paperback Writer (takes 1 & 2 and two alternate mixes), Rain (two alternate stereo mixes), For No 0e(takes 1,2, and 10) and Here There And Everywhere (monitor mix and remix session). The cover is the rejected REVOLVER concept montage. The two volumes of PSYCHEDELIC YEARS are the types of collections you could easily do yourself just by pulling tracks from bootlegs. Avoid these.

SECRET SONGS IN PEPPERLAND MASTERDISC (MDCD006) CD 1994 Source: Master tapes? Sound Quality: Excellent mono Rating: **** Total Time: 28:25 All You Need Is Love (long ending - no fade) Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (first verse sung by the Boob) Sound Effects Only for 'Good Morning Good Morning' Audience Sounds Intro To 'Sgt. Pepper' Billy Shears Applause 'Sgt. Pepper' to 'From My Friends' Yellow Submarine (mono take) It's All Too Much (extended version) All Together Now (best mono take) Only A Northern Song (best mono take) Japan's OMR releases are always superb and this is no exception. Though short, it is still very sweet. All You Need Is Love is a full 15 seconds longer than the released version. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds features Dick Emery reciting a few nonsense lines over the introduction. A real artifact. It's All Too Much is the long version in perfect sound quality. Fantastic! This is one worth searching for - or try to find one of the knockoffs by the 'other guys'.

A bootleg sampler disc? Clever idea. Strawberry Records (a subsidiary of Yellow Dog Records) hyped some upcoming releases with this very cool sampler. The disc features solo and group songs (slightly edited to prevent them from being bootlegged by someone else) which would be featured on Strawberry's new releases as well as new Orange Records, Yellow Cat and Yellow Dog Records. This disc sold out quickly and became a highly sought after release. Laugh is available only on this disc and was meant for an unreleased Lennon/Ono album to be called UNFINISHED MUSIC #3. At the time of this book the two Beatles tracks (from LET IT BE rehearsals) had yet to see the light of day.

WHAT A SHAME MARY JANE HAD A PAIN AT THE PARTY R8028 S1: Version 1 (6:35) S2: Version 2 (7:04) R: Exs. S: Reference disc cut from original master tapes. C: 12" 45. Dbw. This has one of my favorite covers of all time. Who cannot appreciate an album cover which has four 'short-haired 1963 era' Beatles surrounded by 16 photos of a nude woman wearing a variety of masks?! Truly an avant garde cover for some far out music. Oh, yeah! The music... (I almost forgot, sorry.) Four takes of What A Shame Mary Jane Had A Pain At The Party (aka: What's The News Mary Jane, Mary Jane or What's You New Mary Jane) were recorded August 14, 1968, and was meant for possible inclusion on the WHITE ALBUM. Only John and George were present for the taping. Take 4 would appear on the ANTHOLOGY series and featured John, George, Yoko and Mai Evans. The versions on this disc are Takes 1 & 2. Edited and remixed versions (probably of Take 4) would later appear on UNSURPASSED MASTERS VOL. 4 and SESSIONS. Believe it or not: I am told that a small cult following formed around this record during the Eighties. Members were said to have created a "magic chant" from the song's refrain - believing that the chant would release them from the bonds of earthly existence. Members wore masks of disfigurement during their ceremonies and danced naked around bonfires in the woods near Racine, Wisconsin. It is unknown what became of the Mary Jane Cultists. Here are the lyrics to Mary Jane: She looks as an African queen, She eating her chapatis and cream, She tastes as Mogolian lamb, She coming from Aldebaran. What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party. She'd like to be married with Yeti, He's grooving such cookie spaghetti, She jumping as Mexican bean To make that her body morphine. What a shame Mary Jand had a pain at the party. She catch Patagonian pancakes, With that one and gin party makes, She having always good content, She making with Apple and contracts. What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party. WHAT A SHAME MARY JANE HAD A PAIN AT THE PARTY F 82001 R: Exs. C: European copy of 'WHAT A SHAME MARY JANE HAD A PAIN AT THE PARTY (R8028). While this song was listed as a Lennon/McCartney track on ANTHOLOGY, read what John Lennon said in an interview from 1969: "I've written with other people as well. For instance, there was a mad thing I wrote half with our electronic genius, Alex (Madris). It was called 'What A Shame Mary Jane Had A Pain At The Party,' and it was meant for the last Beatles album. It was real madness, but we never released it. I'd like to do it again".

The first copies of this disc were mastered incorrectly and had to be redone. Unfortunately, the first discs did not come with a money back guarantee so a lot of folks paid twice what they should have. Originally released in mono but re-released in mono/stereo. Yellow Dog de-noised and de-clicked these discs (as they did with nearly all of their releases). Some collectors find this irritating as it somewhat affects the high-ends of the music. The affect is most noticeable on very expensive equipment - which must be why I've not noticed the differences between the songs with and without the de-noise system. The debate rages over this issue and probably will for years.

In addition, we get to hear the Huge Melody as it was originally envisioned. There are different backing vocals, different mixes and instrumentation. A real find. Golden Slumbers still suffers from the 'tape stretch' as found on all bootlegs to date. The Huge Melody was the original working title for side two of ABBEY ROAD.

An interesting bit of trivia is that Ringo's code name at the time was 'Russia' - thus the album's title. The Beatles would regularly use code names amongst themselves and the inner circle to insure their privacy. C: Eb. Dec. DL.

GET BACK JOURNALS VIGOTONE (VIGO 101/108) 8CD 1993 Source: Various Sound Quality: Good to excellent stereo/mono Rating: *** Disc One (total time: 68:19): This disc is comprised of the material which originally appeared on VEGEMITE and later as SWEET APPLE TRAX VOL. III. Many of the songs would later appear on SONGS FROM THE PAST VOL. 4 & 5. There are 30 tracks on this disc with the highlights being The One After 909, Two Of Us, Child Of Nature, Your True Love, Bring It On Home To Me and Hitch Hike. Disc Two (total time: 65:19): This disc continues with the rest of the VEGEMITE songs and ALL THINGS MUST PASS rehearsals. A number of odds and ends make up the rest of the disc - the best songs being Let It Be, Oh! Darling and Thirty Days. 24 tracks on this disc. Disc Three (total time: 69:53): THE BLACK ALBUM (Audifon) is featured on Disc Three and is from tape source. There is some additional material here - the most significant being a longer version of the first performance oil Me Mine and the first appearance of The Beatles' cover of What Am I Livin' For by Chuck Willis. Other highlights on this 28-track disc are Hart Krsna Mantra, Too Bad About Sorrows, Fool Like Me and You Win Again. Disc Four (total time: 68:31): Most of this disc is taken from the master tapes for SWEET APPLE TRAX along with some additional cuts. The earliest known performances of The Long And Winding Road are here, and a lengthy discussion by The Beatles about their proposed live performances. A few of the better tracks on this 25track disc are I Me Mine, Tennessee, Move It, and One After 909. Disc Five (total time: 73:10): SWEET APPLE TRAX concludes and is followed by bit and pieces of rehearsals, conversations, and Paul on the Piano. There are 22 cuts here and very few highlights. The most worthwhile tracks are Commonwealth, Mama You Been On My Mind and a visit from Peter Sellers. Disc Six (total time: 70:18):

99

The WATCHING RAINBOWS session opens this record and is in the most complete form yet. This is followed by many loose rehearsals and jams. Some of the better material is Madman, Dig A Pony and the Forty Days medley and jam. Disc Seven (total time: 72:41): The liner notes sum up this disc well: "Unless you're a rabid GET BACK junkie (and maybe even if you are) you're unlikely to pull this one off your shelf very often. There are a couple of highlights - The Beatles cover version of Jackie Lomax's You've Got Me Thinking and Arthur Alexander's Soldier Of Love and Where Have You Been are fun, but for the most part this CD is bogged down by half-hearted rehearsals of Lennon/McCartney originals." 21 tracks on this disc. Disc Eight (total time: 64:13): HER MAJESTY bootleg is the source for much of the material on this record and is mostly forgettable. Some of the more listenable songs weTeddy Boy (taken from the WBCN 1969 broadcast tape), Dig It, Maggie Mae, Singing The Blues and Almost Grown. 23 tracks. Most of this material was released on THE GET BACK JOURNALS (11 LP set) with a few new bits here and there (approximately 40 minutes worth). The sound has been improved over the vinyl version. The eight compact discs come housed in a hard case film box with metal corners and is held together with two vinyl straps. There are two CDs per slim case and each has a four page booklet describing the contents. The liner notes on the inside of the film box tell the story of the film and album, as well as an alphabetical listing of the set's song titles. Each song is also referenced as to which disc and track it is on. Included is a full-color reproduction of the original GET BACK book. This was a limited edition set (possibly only 1000 were made). Later editions did not include the deluxe packaging or the book. THE GET BACK JOURNALS II VIGOTONE (VIGO138-145) 8CD Box 1996 Source: Twickenham Film Sound Quality: Excellent stereo Rating: ***** CD 1: Sun King/ Improvisation/ All Things Must Pass/ All Things Must Pass/ All Things Must Pass/ All Things Must Pass/ All Things Must Pass/ All Things Must Pass/ Improvisation/ All Things Must Pass/ All Things Must Pass/ All Things Must Pass/ All Things Must Pass/ All Things Must Pass/ Unknown/ Back In The USSR/ Every Little Thing/ Piece Of My Heart/ Sabre Dance/ Piece Of My Heart/ Over And Over Again/ I've Been Good To You/ Maxwell's Silver Hammer/1 Want You/ I'm Gonna Pay For His Ride/ Don't Let Me Down/ Oh!

Certainly the highlight of this disc is a lengthy oldies jam session from January 6th, featuring never-before-heard performances of Sure To Fall and Right String, Wrong Yo-Yo. Time 73:38. CD2: Live Show Dialogue/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down / Send Me Some Lovin'/ Don't Let Me Down/ Don't Let Me Down/ Two Of Us/ Two Of Us/ Two Of Us/ Two of Us/ Two of Us/ Two of Us C: Fragments of a lengthy conversation about the planned live performance which clearly illustrate how Yoko had usurped John's role in the decision making process of the group. This is followed by an incredibly extensive look at the evolution of Don't Let Me Down, with over forty minutes of rehearsal presented in their original context for the first time. Capping off the disc is an unedited presentation of the 'fight' between Paul and George, which was presented in a distorted manner in the film LET IT BE. Time 70:74.

The unquestionable highlight, though, is the earliest known performance of Get Back, presented here for the very first time. Much of the explosive dialog from January 7th is also here. Time 73:05.

The mood lightens as the group spends a great deal of time rehearsing Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Time 70:58.

John's attempts to lead the band through rehearsals of Across The Universe prove disastrous, and the group only comes to life when they perform oldies such as Rock And Roll Music. Time 70:36.

The two group performances of I Me Mine which were edited together in LET IT BE are heard in their original form here. Also of note is the earliest known performance of Paul's Another Day.

The remainder of the disc contains a number of George-less performances of varying degrees of interest (if not musical quality). Time 72:10. R: Ex. Soundboard. C: Four double CDs in a white cardboard box inside a full color cardboard slipcase. Comes with a 28 page 10" x 10" book with color and B&w pictures. Includes a history of GET BACK bootlegs and is punctuated by excellent reproductions of album covers and artwork. And to top it all off is an overview of the Twickenham Sessions detailing song titles and bootlegs where they are featured. This set is an excellent example of what can be done by people who care as opposed to some of the boring 'product' released by an 'industry' interested in the bottom line. When will they realize that this is what collector's want and that we don't mind paying for quality?

LEANING ON A LAMPPOST YELLOW DOG (YD 067) CD 1997 Source: LET IT BE rehearsals (Jan. 6,1969) Sound Quality: Excellent mono Rating: ** 1) Carry That Weight/Castle Of The King Of The Birds/Long Jam (16:19) 2) Leaning On A Lamppost/Long Jam (15:22) 3) Two Of Us/Frere Jacques/It Ain't Me Babe/Two Of Us (Reprise) (16:23) 4) All Things Must Pass (Long Rehearsal) (16:14) The source of this disc is an hour of rehearsals from January 6, 1969. Most of this material is new to disc or more complete than found on previous bootlegs. The sound quality is also better. The first segment is announced as 'roll 31 wild' and is mostly a long and boring jam. Some of this is on JAMMING WITH HEATHER. Segment two is identified as 'slate 64.' The name of this disc comes from Paul shouting Leaning On A Lamppost (the song was written by George Formby, though it is hard to tell by this version) above some conversation and then there is some singing of unidentified songs by George and John. Some folks have identified these two songs as Annie (that infamous track which John evidently wrote for Ringo) and Maureen (written by Bob Dylan - sung by George for Ringo's wife?), but there is no way to know for certain. This is then followed by 'Slate 73, Camera A' with more doodling around and another jam session, followed by George singing Tracks Of My Tears. Segment three is previously available on GET BACK JOURNALS 2. The final segment (Slate 94, Roll 46) features three complete performances of All Things Must Pass and a short vocal rehearsal. Let's Dance is also played and has appeared on bootleg previously. For the most part the music on this disc borders on monotonous (why release this material when Yellow Dog surely must have had better material in their possession?) and is certainly not an essential piece for anyone's collection. However, the packaging is very nice! The cover is made of heavy cardboard and is numbered. The photos on the cover are excellently reproduced and the disc itself is gold-plated. Yellow Dog and friends went all out on the packaging of this bootleg. The CDR knockoffs are nowhere near as nice. This 1997 release by Yellow Dog was most likely that company's swan song as they had decided to call it quits after LEANING ON A LAMPPOST. The difficulties Yellow Dog encountered in getting the CD pressed and distributed were enormous, and the legal 'questions' were problems that finally helped that company decide to cease operations. Normally Yellow Dog pressed and distributed their product out of Europe, but this time they were forced to go to Japan to manufacture the discs. Even so, the Oriental road was not an easy one. Reportedly only 500 copies were made and these were sold to interested buyers in a manner more befitting a James Bond movie. One American collector was said to have paid over $200 for one disc. This disc was eventually copied as CDRs and sold stateside for $30 each. Yellow Dog, by the way, has an additional 30 hours of LET IT BE rehearsal tapes in their possession, but it is now unlikely any will ever surface given the state of affairs with bootlegging.

The ROCKIN' MOVIE STARS series of discs from Orange (aka : Yellow Dog Records) presents complete pieces of the soundtrack from Twickenham Studios. They are not nearly as chopped up as are many of the LET IT BE rehearsal tapes we so often hear. Also, the chat between songs is longer and occasionally contain some interesting and often amusing pieces of conversation.

I think it's safe to say that whoever put this together knew what he (or she) was talking about. Each CD represents a specific era of the band's progression and, being

arranged chronologically, it is a magical musical tour through a period of time when nothing was real. This is the one to get. Time CD1 70:01. CD2 73:05. CD3 76:52. CD4 74:15. CDS 70:58. It is also this author's opinion that the highly successful world sales of ARTIFACTS and subsequent publicity helped convince EMI and Apple executives (as well as The Beatles) that they should produce their own 'official bootlegs' (which showed up on record store shelves in 1995 & 1996 as the ANTHOLOGY SERIES). As Ringo once said, "Personally, I would like to put out all the bootlegs, all the outtakes we didn't want out, but are out. Beatles bootlegs by us"!

Each flexi-disc featured songs, holiday greetings and samples of The Beatles humor recorded especially for loyal Beatles fans. In 1970 there was no new flexi disc forthcoming; however,

131

the Beatles made the extraordinary decision to compile all the messages onto an album and send the record out to their fan club members! Through the years these flexis and the album have appreciated in value to where collectors can demand up to $150 to $200 for an original disc with the original sleeve and mailer. It wasn't long before enterprising bootleggers were pressing pirated copies of the BEATLES CHRISTMAS ALBUM (U.K. title FROM THEN TO YOU) that quickly became bestsellers in the underground. Contraband Music, Zap, Trademark Of Quality and Wizardo Records all jumped on the Beatles' sleigh; however, their quality control was none too good as the sound quality on these discs was definitely sub par. What makes this disc especially exciting (superb sound not withstanding) are the inclusions of two outtakes from the recording sessions for the Christmas discs. The first outtake is actually the complete, unedited version of Christmas Time Is Here Again. This take gives us a better feel of what their recording session was like - off the cuff, jolly and semi-rehearsed. A portion of this would appear on the CD single, Free As A Bird, in 1995. The other outtake is from the 1964 Christmas message. We get to hear The Beatles do a run through of a hilarious version of Hello Dolly (complete with comb and tissue!) and Jingle Bells. Additionally, the Fab Four are having a grand time messing up their individual 'greetings.' None of this 1964 track appeared on the fan club flexi.

Track 8 Gerry Marsden, John & George reading from The Bible. Track 9 from unreleased Apple film '68. C: BCD. Dec. From tape owned by Alf Bicknell (ex-chauffeur to The Beatles). Tape later sold at Sotheby's. Historically, this is an interesting piece. However, you will find it difficult to sit through even one listening session. The best thing on here is John's If I Fell. It is also the only place you will find outtakes of It Won't Be Long. Please Mr. Postman (1) may be real but #2 is probably the released version (albeit in horrid quality). Yellow Dog/Orange released this material - with some minor variations - in 1995 as MAYBE YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR (YD-Orange 019) on compact disc. They added Hello Little Girl by The Fourmost (studio session?) but the sound quality is horrid. It would be best if this track had never seen the light of day.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - acoustic Christmas Time Is Here Again (from the Fan Club Xmas Record) NEMS Records did a superb job with this record. This was the first time collectors got the chance to hear these different versions of Strawberry Fields Forever. Later bootleg CDs would include these, but at the time collectors struck gold with this bootleg. In addition, we have the French EP mono mix of I'm Only Sleeping which has some interesting variations not found on the U.S. and British versions.

SERGEANT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND THE HISTORY OF THE BEATLE YEARS: 1962-1970 Label unknown (BN-89) 9 LP boxed set This set is a pirate of the 1984 radio special narrated by the late Roger Scott. Each disc is dedicated to a Beatle year and features interviews, legit releases of songs, live tracks and a few outtakes. Roger Scott evidently had access to the EMI vaults as many of the rarest tracks (such as the ones which would later appear on the ULTRA RARE TRAX series) appeared here for the first time. Could it be that this was the time period when those 'ultra rare' songs leaked out? For the differing theories as to how and when the songs slipped out of EMI, refer to Black Market Beatles by Berkenstadt & Belmo. The narration often intrudes upon the really good stuff, which I find quite frustrating. Still, this is an excellent history of the band filled with thoughtful interviews and a nice mix of music. Count yourself lucky if you can find a copy of this set anywhere.

However, here is a very brief history (for an in depth look at SESSIONS see Black Market Beatles). In 1984 EMI and The Beatles were planning a release of rarities for the public's consumption; however, due to legal questions and royalty concerns, the album was nixed. But some enterprising folks got hold of a copy and soon manufactured their own version. This material would later appear on The ANTHOLOGY releases of 1995 & 1996. R: Exs except *Exm. C: Eb. Dec. SS.

WHITE ALBUM DEMOS

UNSURPASSED DEMOS YELLOW DOG (YD 008) CD 1991 Source: Demos Sound Quality: Excellent Mono Rating: **** Back In The USSR (3:01) Dear Prudence (4:32) Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (2:54) The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill (2:40) While My Guitar Gently Weeps (2:36) I'm So Tired (3:05) Blackbird (2:30) Piggies (2:05) Rocky Raccoon (2:41) Not Guilty (3:09) Singalong Junk (2:33) Julia (2:51) Yer Blues (3:25) Mother Nature's Son (2:21) Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me & My Monkey (3:00) Sexy Sadie (2:21) Sour Milk Sea (3:30) Revolution (3:58) Honey Pie (1:59) Cry, Baby, Cry (2:22) What's The New Mary Jane (2:35) Circles (Colliding Circles) (2:16) Child Of Nature (Jealous Guy) (2:33) Julia (inst.) (2:51) The quest by fans for WHITE ALBUM outtakes and demos is legendary. Thanks to the 'Lost Lennon Tapes' radio shows and private tape sources, many of these demos have come to light. Appearing on bootleg for the first time were Singalong Junk, Sour Milk Sea and Circles. All the songs are from George Harrison's Esher estate, Kinfauns, except for the two versions of Julia which were probably recorded in mid-1968 at Lennon's Kenwood home. The Kinfauns version of Julia is not included here. The Kinfauns tapes were recorded over a period of time in May 1968. Most of the songs on this disc are close to the final versions. Rocky Raccoon is missing the spoken intro, Circles is still raw, and Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da has Paul adding a double-tracked vocal echo. ANTHOLOGY 3 has a nice set of Kinfauns demos - some are the same demos as included here (but in better quality) and a number of alternate versions as well. You need both sets for a complete picture. THE BEATLES FAKE APPLE (APPLE EP-1) 2EP Disc One (Side A: Back In The USSR/ Don't Let Me Down) (Side B: Piggies/ Julia) Disc Two (Side A: The Maharishi Song/ Not Guilty) (Side B: Mother Nature's Son/ Look At Me) R: Vgs. S: Kinfaun's demos and Lennon demos from 1968. 2EP set on white vinyl and covers are numbered. Release was limited to 500 copies. Domestic.

Girl is incomplete and is different than the version on ARTIFACTS. The composing demos for Strawberry Fields are quite interesting for us musical historians. Michelle may be bogus and is not the same as on the GARAGE TAPES. Stranger In My Arms is a unique and previously unreleased artifact performed by Lemon. Revolution 1 is pretty much spoiled by Yoko's jabbering during the playback of the song. This disc suffers from some hiss and surface noise.

playing around a 'mouth organ' as seen in the video 'First U. S. Visit'. Blackbird and Helter Skelter are from an unreleased Apple film. Oh Darling is a unique working of the vocal tracks by Paul. Paul goes through his vocal exercises, plays with a vocal effect, and makes comments to the engineer. The studio talk from Think For Yourself is different than that on the Yellow Dog release. These are new versions of Blackbird and Helter Skelter - no, not the long version! Finally, Aerial Tour is the longest version yet of this track.

THE SAPCOR COLLECTION SAPCOR, an Australian bootleg company, released a series of vinyl collections in 1987. Their 'modus operandi' were clever titles and imaginative covers - parodies of Beatles legitimate albums. For the most part the material on their bootlegs had been previously available and offered little new for the collector. Still, their creative approach was appealing and the albums quickly found an audience. Some (or all) of the bootlegs may have actually originated from the West Coast of the US The truth may never be known -though it is out there.

THE BEAT CD'S

In 1993 a new company emerged whose purpose in life was to release all The Beatles albums as found in the United States and known as THE CAPITOL VERSIONS. The 'Capitol Versions', of course, featured the original song lineup and mixes as intended for an American audience when first presented to the buying pubic. As we all know, when EMI/Capitol issued The Beatles recording catalog worldwide on compact discs, the CDs were formatted after the British releases (the way The Beatles originally intended the albums to be heard). But many American fans wanted the discs in the format in which they first heard the albums - they didn't care how the albums were released overseas. So in answer to these voices crying out for justice, BEAT heeded their call and promptly began issuing their series of compact discs.

173

The nice folks at BEAT issued two albums per disc (some with bonus tracks), mono mixes of albums, and a series of 'rarities' CDs. And all at a reasonable price (comparable discs from Japan often cost two to three times more!) Though technically not bootlegs, these are actually pirate copies. But we have included them here as they are important musical artifacts and worthy of mention. A listing is found below . (Note that BEAT 017 and after is supposedly not the original BEAT company but another group -Cool Orangecicle? - using their name.)

BEAT 026: LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL ANOTHER PHASE ABBEY ROAD RECORDS - 12 CD Box Set 1996 Abbey Road Records has attempted to keep up with the BEAT series with this nearly all-inclusive set of mono and stereo mixes of 12 Beatles albums. ANOTHER PHASE includes stereo versions of PLEASE, PLEASE ME, WITH THE BEATLES, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT and BEATLES FOR SALE. It has mono versions of HELP!, RUBBER SOUL, REVOLVER, A COLLECTION OF BEATLES OLDIES + alternate stereo mixes of 14 songs (Misery, There's A Place, Thank You Girl, From Me To You, I Want To Hold Your Hand, All My Loving , I Should Have Known Better, And I Love Her, I Call Your Name, Norwegian Wood, Girl, The Word, I'm Looking Through You and I'm Only Sleeping ), SERGEANT PEPPER, YELLOW SUBMARINE and THE BEATLES WHITE ALBUM. Missing is MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. They did a remarkable job with this set. The sound is excellent throughout and the packaging is quite nice. The price at the time was about $250. You may want to just stick with the BEAT series if you already have it. Otherwise, save up your pennies and dimes to purchase this.

THE ANTHOLOGY
AN OVERVIEW I would be remiss in not including at least a summary of what has become known as the 'Official Beatles Bootleg' series - ANTHOLOGY (VOL. 1-3). As we all know, The Beatles and EMI had for years been telling the public that we might as well forget about seeing any unreleased Beatles music being issued. They told us there wasn't enough good music in the vaults and that The Beatles had released the best of what they had recorded. Paul McCartney even stated that he didn't want then- original versions confused with the outtakes. Well, times change and the promise of big money changed some minds. So after years of political and economic squabbles among The Beatles and their legal representatives, ANTHOLOGY finally became a reality in the fall of 1995 with the release of the two-record set ANTHOLOGY 1, a new single, and the follow-up television special. Boosted by the remake of John Lennon's demo of Free As A Bird, sales of ANTHOLOGYwere phenomenal (as were the next two volumes). It was Beatlemania all over again. Fans clearly were hungry for new Beatles music - even if it was old! Of course, collectors of Beatlegs had known about this unreleased music long before the ANTHOLOGY was released. Collectors also knew that the music on the ANTHOLOGY series was just the tip of the iceberg (this book you are holding in your hands is evidence at the size of the iceberg!). A perfect example of this is the inclusion of just five songs from the Decca sessions on ANTHOLOGY 1 when 15 songs were recorded on that chilly New Years Day in London. The entire session has appeared on numerous bootlegs in the years since. What follows is a listing of the tracks on the ANTHOLOGY discs with previously bootlegged titles indicated with asterisks. Generally, the songs on the bootlegs are inferior in sound quality to the ANTHOLOGY versions. And even though that is the case, it is the opinion of many collectors that more than a few of the songs were lifted from bootlegs for this series. The most obvious being the Quarry Men tracks and the Stockholm songs. I feel the best way to analyze the ANTHOLOGY series is to look at the sets as if they were bootlegs and not legitimate releases. It is better to review what songs were included and not previously bootlegged and how they fill the gaps for collectors. It is too easy to criticize EMI and The Beatles for what they did not include. So here we go...

The inclusion of That'll Be The Day and In Spite Of All The Danger more than makes this set a worthwhile investment. These legendary Quarry Men tracks had been sought after by collectors for years and to finally hear them in their entirety is a real thrill. The other Quarry Men songs as well as the Sheridan and Decca tracks had been previously booted but were needed here because of their historical importance. Love Me Do makes its first appearance on disc and features Pete Best on drums. Please Please Me is new and has some noticeable differences. Disc two has a number of new tracks which are quite excellent. Ill Be Back (takes 2 & 3), John's demo of No Reply, and the legendary Harrison track You'll Know What To Do. We knew it existed but most us never thought we'd ever hear it. The two takes of Ill Be Back feature a very funny John in the studio. Rounding out the disc are interesting outtakes of Eight Days A Week, Mr. Moonlight, No Reply, and Kansas City/ Hey Hey Hey.

Overall, a very nice collection of rarities, outtakes and live tracks. Of course, Free As A Bird is the most historically important Beatles song to be released since She Loves You. It was The Beatles 'Reunion' which was not supposed to have occurred - especially with John's passing. But with a change in attitudes and modern recording technology the dream became a reality. It was a controversial single but the song itself was a fitting testament to John Lennon's music. Disc One can be a hard listen at times, but the inclusion of those rare recordings more than make up for the lack of listenability. Disc Two has a better flow to it, so it is much easier to sit down and listen to it all the way through. Of the 52 songs on this set, 33 had been previously bootlegged.

The Fool On The Hill (Demo)* Your Mother Should Know The Fool On The Hill (Take 4) Hello, Goodbye Lady Madonna Across The Universe* Disc One opens with Real Love - the newly recorded collaboration of Lennon's demo with added vocals and instrumentation by Paul, George and Ringo. I like this track much more than Free As A Bird because of its simple beauty. Yes It Is is an unremarkable out-take. I'm Down really rocks and clearly illustrates the energy The Beatles could generate in the studio. Paul closes with a 'plastic soul' comment. The version of You 've Got To Hide Your Love Away here is remarkable for two reasons: one, John's early rendition is simply wonderful - two, it is a gas hearing John tease Paul about breaking a glass. I wonder what was really going on in the studio at the time?! Take One of Yesterday is a real treasure. Just Paul and his guitar - and an occasion lyrical mixup. It's Only Love is a very strong studio outtake featuring strong vocals by Lennon. My favorite outtake of all the ANTHOLOGY songs is Tomorrow Never Knows. Take One of TNK is an eerie, psychedelic piece unlike anything else recorded (or even heard) at the time. I wonder what mindaltering chemicals John was using when he came up with this song. Got To Get You Into My Life is a sparse and entertaining outtake. And Your Bird Can Sing is notable for the giggling of 'the boys' during the session. They were definitely having fun on this day. Next is a very unique version of Taxman highlighted by the "anybody got a bit of money?" backing chorus at the end of the song. George Martin gets his due on this disc with the 'strings only' tracks of Eleanor Rigby. This was remixed in 1995 for this disc. We could have done without this. I'm Only Sleeping (rehearsal and Take 1) gives us a different look at John's song. Disc Two opens with some previously released versions and 1995 edits of Strawberry Fields Forever. Penny Lane and A Day In The Life were also created special for this disc. I have a hard time with these remixes as they were not what The Beatles had originally intended. George Martin should have left well enough alone and just included complete and unedited outtakes. Good Morning Good Morning is the basic version without sound effects. Very cool. Another remixed track here is Only A Northern Song that takes its parts from several sources. Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite (Takes 1, 2 & 7) present us with a new look at the evolution of one of John's finest visual and aural songs. The next PEPPER track is another remix by George Martin. While this remix of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is interesting, I would much rather have heard some complete and unaltered outtakes. Next up is the instrumental tracks of Harrison's mystical Within You Without You. I quite enjoy this version. The Sergeant Pepper (Reprise) is the released version but without the audience effects. Also, Paul's vocals here were not on the released take. You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) features some additional bits not on the released version. Interesting but not essential. From MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR is an early take of Your Mother Should Know with some different drum work by Ringo. This is followed by an alternate take of The Fool On The Hill. I'm unsure why they felt it necessary to include this as they already included the demo. Hello Goodbye is an early outtake of the song. George Martin again performs his wizardry on Lady Madonna by mixing several different takes to create this new version special to ANTHOLOGY. ANTHOLOGY 2 certainly exceeded all our expectations with the inclusion of some fantastic outtakes. Of the 45 songs on this set only 18 had been previously bootlegged. The only downside was the decision to remix a number of the songs to create new tracks. ANTHOLOGY 3 DISC ONE: A Beginning Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Helter Skelter Mean Mr. Mustard

Disc One might best be described as the ACOUSTIC WHITE ALBUM or THE BEATLES UNPLUGGED. While there have been numerous bootlegs of the Kinfauns demos, most of the demos here are different than what we've heard before. This edited version

of Helter Skelter has a very catchy groove and is quite unlike the released version. Collectors have for years been clamoring for the 27-minute jam of this track, but it is now a certainty we will never hear it. Could it be anything like the one included here? Honey Pie here is a bit livelier than the released version. Ringo does his thing with Don't Pass Me By and proves he can sing and drum a fine tune. Ringo also does a nice job with Good Night on this rehearsal. Cry Baby Cry, Blackbird, and Sexy Sadie are good examples of how well-prepared The Beatles were when they entered the studio to record their songs. These early takes are very close to the final versions. Hey Jude is an early run through of this classic single. Next is an alternate take of Mother Nature's Son followed by an unused mono mix of Glass Onion utilizing different special effects. Unusual. Then we have some fun with Rocky Raccoon and its ever-changing lyrics. A real surprise on this disc is the jam session which produced the adlibs of Step Inside Love & Los Paranoias. More fun in the studio. Closing out Disc One are alternate takes of I'm So Tired (remixed), I Will (take 1), Why Don't We Do It In The Road, and Julia. Disc Two encompasses outtakes from the making of GET BACK/LET IT BE and ABBEY ROAD. New to disc are the rehearsals for She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, Two Of Us, Oh Darling and the remix of Teddy Boy by George Martin. Also new are George Harrison's demos of All Things Must Pass, Old Brown Shoe and Something (in stereo). These are truly golden artifacts which fully illustrate George's songwriting talents. Ringo is up next with take two of Octopus's Garden followed by take 5 of Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Both are interesting but unremarkable. I really like take 1 of ComeTogether which has a great vocal by John and a groovy guitar as well. Ain't She Sweet is from a jam session and is previously unreleased. This version of Let It Be is new to disc but is generally unremarkable. And topping of the set is The End which is quite interesting; however, it was remixed from several takes and is one of those tracks I have to question. ANTHOLOGY 3 was a good set but not quite as satisfying as ANTHOLOGY 2. The inventiveness and the energy are lacking from a number of the songs here. But considering the state of affairs with The Beatles during these years, this lack of excitement should really come as no surprise. Still, we are able to get a sense of where The Beatles as solo artists were headed and how their music was evolving. Of the 50 tracks on this disc only 17 had been previously bootlegged. In addition to the three ANTHOLOGY sets, Apple Records also released two separate singles to promote Al and A2. The first of these was called Free As A Bird. This disc featured John's original composition reworked by Paul, George and Ringo with a lot of help from Jeff Lynne, take 9 of I Saw Her Standing There (previously booted), This Boy (takes 12 & 13) which had not been bootlegged, and Christmas Time (Is Here Again) which had not been booted in this form, though the main portion of the song has been available for years. The second single was titled Real Love and contained the new version of Lennon's demo. Following that track was a live version of Baby's In Black from the Hollywood Bowl concert of August 30, 1965. The intro to the song used here came from the previous night's concert. Next up is an alternate mix (previously unreleased) of Yellow Submarine. And closing out the disc is a new mix of Here There And Everywhere. There was no new song recorded for A3 and so there was no single issued.
